CHARGED WITH MURDER Sheriff Ed
ward 7. Shea, of Prince George county
Md. went to New York on Saturday
last and returned with Mr.. John Hsz.
ard, formerly OF Berwyn, that county
charged with the suspected murder Of
Edward Howard OF this city at BerwyD
on the evening Of August 81 last. The
warrant charging Heard, who is %
years of age, was sworn out by Charles
A. Howard, OF this city, the father oil
Edward Howard, and was issued by
Justice of the: Peace Alex Sakers,
of fayetteville, on February Is
last. Armed with the warrant, Sheriff
Shea located young Hazard in New
York In the employ of the New York
Commercial. The accused was artled
at the sberiff's mission. but willingly
accompanied the officer back to Mary
land without requisition papers, saying
that he preferred to have the oppor-
tunity of speedily vindicsting himself.
Sheriff Shea and his prisoner return.
ed Saturday, spent the night at Bowie
aud went to Marlboro on Sunday. To-
morrow the accused will be taken to
Hyattsville for preliminary examine
ton.
DIR. Hazard, the father OF the &C.
cused, is leading patent attorney in
New York. Upon hearing of the Sc
rious charge against his son be inn
mediately left sor Msrylard, and yes
terdav, accompanied by Attorney J. @.
Rogers, who has been engaged as coun-
sci. went to Marlboro. The meeting
bstween father and son was sffsctionste,
the former proclsiming aloud the 10
nocence of his son and m5raced him
tenderly.
Young Heard is an exceedingly fac.
looking young man, and has heretofore
borne an excellent reputation. He de.
clares his innocence of the charge with.
ont the slightest hesitation. 1t ia GER
tain that should an indictment follow
young Hazards trial will come up dur
ing the term OF court which opens 10
Marlboro on April l next. Attorney
Rogers declares the charge to be sbso-
lutely ridiculous. and states that he
will have no difficulty in vindicating
bis client.
On Sunday evening, August 81 /, last,
Edward E. Howard and John Hazard,
the former ofthis city and the latter OF
Berwyp. were both calling upon Miss
Smith, daughter OF Mr.. A. B. Smith, Ct
Berwyn. 1t was the common report
that both were very much in love with
Miss Smith, and it was also stated that
naught else but friendship ever existed
between the young admirers.
Early Monday morning the father Of
Miss Smith found the dead body of
young Howard lying 10 front of his
residence. A revolver was lying close
to the body with one chamber empty,
and the presence of burned powder
near the right temple told a story of
apparent suicide. The bullet penetrs-
ted the brain. A coroner's inquest
rendered verdict OF suicide.
The death was investigated by the
grand jury of the county, but nothing
came of il. Mr.. Howard, the father OF
the dead boy has always believed that
his boy was murdered, and has had q
detective working on the case. Mics
Smith, who now lives at Riverdale, re-
fuses to talk about the matter. but will,
10 all probability, be an important wit
ness in the case.
