in the crime.
The only discrepancy in their stories.
recited in the presence of each other at

bility for the serious injuries inflicted
upon the old man. All admit having
agreed upon the robbery, sharing alike in
the booty secured from Mr.. Bayliss after
he was injured. Each admits having
picked up stones to be used as weapons
as their intended victim approached IN his
wagon, behind which was led the horse
that he had just bought.
Bayliss was resting comfortably at the
Emergency Hospital last night. an1 the
physicians in charge have every reason
to believe that he will recover.
The young negroes, who were arrested
on Information furnished to several of
the local detectives, were at first held as
suspects only. Yesterday they broke
down and made a clean breast of the en-
tire affair. with The understanding that
they will be sent to the penitentiary for

Civil War Veteran Attempts Suicide
to Escape Pain.

An unsuccessful attempt at self-ds-
struction was made at an early hour
yesterday morning by Thomas E,ichbaum
at his room. 122 d Street northwest. The
deed was induced by the intense suffer
ing caused by an injured limb. He
wrapped a blanket about his head and
then, through a tube, conducted iIlnmi-
mating gas into the confined space frem
a convenient burGer. TrGI
The promptness of those who conduct
the house, who discovered his purpose, in
sending him to the Emergency Hospital
probably saved his life. He is tifty-five
years of age and a clerk in the Census
Office
Eichbaum is civil war veteran and
native of Erie, Pa, where for a time he
was a Justice OF the peace. During the
civil war one Of his legs was badly in
jured by the explosion of a shell, and
ever since he has had trouble with the
limb @
For the past few days his sufferings
have been particularly acute. and yester-
day he tried every means to get relief
but without result This seems to have
driven him to desperation, for about the
time he usually retired he called on Miss
Lewis and asked for the loan of drop
light
His unusual actions made her suspi-
cicus. When she saw the room dark and
detected the odor of gas from the room
about 2:30 O'Clock yesterday morning Miss
Lewis called assistance and entered his
room. EiChbaum was found in bed with
his head covered with a blanket. The
tube from the drop light was attached
to the burner. which was turned on, and
the other end discharging the gas be-
meath the covering. The ambulance was
called and he was hurried to the Emer-
genCy HOSpital.

FIRES IN NEARBY WOODS.
Flames Threaten the Country Resi-
dence of Admiral Dewey.
Trees Alone Damaged. But Lots of
Work Given the Local Firemen-
Burning of Leaves by Boys Sup
posed to Have Caused the Trouble.

Many fires Of greater or less magnitude
in the woods surrounding the city occu-
pied the attention of the firemen, police,
and many citizens yesterday. On several
occasions valuable property, including the
cbuntry residence Of Admiral Dewey, was
threatened. in this instance it required
the combined efforts of three engine com
panies and as many streams of water to
confine the consuming element to the
woods, where the only damage done was
the destruction of a number of very big
and much priced trees.
The firemen were also called out for
fire in the woods in the vicinity of the
Prospect Hill Cemetery and soon had the
flames subdued. For a large fire across
the Eastern Branch Of the Potomac the
firemen were not called into service, for
the reason that there was no water sup
ply for them TO draw on 10 quench the
flames. As a consequence the citizens Of
the vicinity. aided by the police Of the
Anacostia sub-station, had an aH-night
job in saving from destruction several lit
tie houses that We're situated in the
woods in the path of the fire.
In every instance the fire is supposed
to have been started by boys setting small
plies Of leaves to burn and permitting the
flames to get beyond their control. The
absence Of rain for many weeks past has
dried up the leaves and underbrush and
It requires but spark to set the entire
timber ablaZe.
The fire in the vicinity of Cleveland
Park was probably the most serious and
for a time the heavy pail Of smoke from
# was visible in all parts Of the city. 1t
started on the Thompson tract, located on
the Woodley Lane road, and spread TO the
adjoining properties. belonging, respec-
tiYrIy to Admiral Dewey and to the
Woodley estate. For time IL threatened
critics and was burning in the direction Of
the residence that was last occupied by
ex-President Cleveland.
When the fire was first discovered some
workmen who were engaged nearby at
tempted to beat it out, but were unable
TO do so. At 12.29 p. m. an alarm was
turned in which brought 10 the scene the
chemical engine from Tenleytown. After
nearly ali hours work the foreman Of that
company saw that he was unable 10 cope
with the rapidly spreading flames and

toward dusk before the fire was com
