POSITIVE HE Is A CROOK.
Local Detectives Sure That "Monroen
Is Mrs. Starring's Burglar

Developments in the case of the robbery
OF the home of Mrs. Olivia c. Starring
1855 Massachusetts Avenue northwest
took something of a sensational turn yes
terday when Inspector Boardman, the
Chief of the Detective Bureau, announced
that he was morally certain in his identi-
fication of Lewis Mortimer, alias Lewis
Mortimer Monroe as Charles Rohan. alias
Del De AFFORD and Mills, the notorious
thief and housebreaker, whose picture
and record appear in the second volume
Of Thomas Byrnes' Professional Grim
inals of America" Inspector Boardman.
Detectives Weedon and Parham. and 9TH
ers are positive in their identification of
the ran. and 1t only remains for de-
tective from New York to reach here to
make the identification complete.
The detectives are equally certain that
Monroe is the man who is responsible for
the disappearance of the 300 in cash and
over 5000 worth of jewelry from the Sc
cret compartment in the cabinet of Mrs.
Starring's house. He will be taken into
the Police Court this morning for a pre-
liminary hearing on a charge Of grand
larceny.
From the statements of the detectives it
appears that Monroe came to this city
about two weeks ago from New York.
He secured rooms at a house on l. Street
near the Dewey Hotel. How he secured
the acquaintance CT Mrs. Starring is
something of a mystery, but it is said
that he has been quite a frequent Wis
itor at her house OF late. Monroe had told
Mrs. Starring that he was an inventor
and that several years ago he had sold
one of his patents for $4,000 He said
that he was also the inventor Of a street
sweeping machine. a half interest in
which was owned by other parties. He
desired to secure a loan of $4,000 from
Mrs Starring to purchase that interest.
Yesterday Inspector Boardman was
looking over the pictures in Byrnes book
when he came across that of Rohan. On
looking over the descriptive matter he
found that Rohan invariably represented
himself as an inventor and referred to
street sweeping machine which he invent
ed Several detectives were then sent to
the Fourth precinct stationhouse, where
the man is confined, and returned thor
oughly convinced that Monroe and Rohan
were one and the same person. In every
particular the description of Rohan fits
Monroe.
None of the property stolen from Mrs
Starring has yet been recovered, but
search of the territory in the vicinity OF
that norton of the Geological Park where
he is supposed to have been will be made

SAMSON TAMEs THE BULL.
An Enraged Beast Corraiied by n
First Precinct Policeman.

poifcernan Samson and a vicious bull
came together in combat yesterday after
noon at seventh and II Streets northwest,
and after a severe struggle, Samson tri-
umphed. II was a genuine bull fight, and
the savage animal was pacified captured,
and finally marched back crestfallen to
the quarters of its owner, Florence Shea,
739 Sheridan Street northwest. a man
unknown to the police was knocked down
by the bull and slightly hurt, while sever
al show cases, it is said, were broken and
many people frightened and forced to flee.
The bull appears to have made his de-
but on Seventh Street, above Florida Ave
nue. northwest. about O'Clock. He es-
capped, the police say, from pen near
Fourteenth Street and Whitney Avenue
northwest, and after tearing around lin
the immediate vicinity until tired, sud
denly headed down Seventh Street on the
r,in In and out between electric cars,
wagons, and vehicles of every kind the
bull ran. while people scattered to the
right, the left, ard centre to escape him.
Policemen OF the Eighth precinct had
barely time to see the bull dash by as
they stood on the street corners and give
warning by shouts of the coming of the
infuriated beast For time the bull ran
in a straight line, and one unfortunate
man seems to have attracted its atten-
ton. This particular man made every
effort to avoid the bull, and lodged in
time TO miss his horns, but, according
to report, was knocked down and badly
bruised. The bull kept on its way.
At r Street the bull entered the con-
fines Of the Second precinct. Several po-
licemen saw the animal running down the
street, but nobody seems 10 have cvinced
anxiety to follow it closely or TO try 40
stop 1t. II took but short time for the
bull to reach the downtown district, and
by this time. having run nearly two
miles the animal WAS weary.
Samson was standing on the corner of
II Street swinging his club as the bull
hove in sight He did not hesitate, but
made for the bull as the bull made for
him Luckily the policeman lodged, and
after a little difficulty he succeeded in
rounding up the tired animal Mean
while word had been sent TO Mr.. Shea,
owner OF the bull, who sent a man TO
take charge Of the least. just how the
bull escaped from its quarters Is not
known.

SET FIRE TO A TOWN.
Negroes Thought to Have Burned the
Village of BeIIeyiJIe In


SAVANNAH, Ca, Nav s.-News has
reached here that nearly all the small
hamlet of Belleville, Ga, about fifty-four
miles from Savannah, was burned on
Monday night The fire is supposed to
nave been the work of enraged negroes.
The negroes have been giving the white
people great deal of trouble in that
section recently. Only few days ago a
negro was shot and killed In BeIlevllle
for entering house and attempting an
assault on white woman and since the
killing the negroes have been greatly en-
ragged, and 1t is supposed that it is their
work which has laid Belleville in ashes.
The fire was discovered in the store oc-
cupied by J. b. Collins & Bro, of Belle
vile. 1t spread rapidly. destroying the
storehouses Of Bert Long. c w. Hines,
and 5. Bird. the turpentine plant operated
by Carter & Co.. and four vacant houses.
The loss is heavy and only partially COW
cred by insurance.
On last Wednesday negro entered a
white woman's house in Daisy, Ga. and
made an assault on her and later entered
Mr.. Depre's house at Claxton. just four
miles west of Daisy. which is within four
miles of Belleville, and made an assault
upon his wife. Mr. Dupre was in the
room sleeping when she gave the alarm.
Dupre sprang to his feet, caught the ne
gro, and made a strong effort to hold
him. The negro drew a knife and cut
him severely in several places.
Mr.. Dupre finally succeeded in getting
his rife and fired a shot at the negro,
but did not hit him The negro made his
escape in the darkness, but was captured
next day and confessed the crime 1t Is
reported that the negro mysteriousIy dis
appeared from the guardhouse in ClaXton,
where he had been confined since his cap
ture Monday night. 1t is expected that
he will be lynched. The excitement is
very high. 1t is a turpentine and mill
district and there are hundreds of negroes
in the district. Further trouble is ex-
