fore the trial board on a charge of hav-
ing assaulted Acquilla Barton, a coiored
man, whom he endeavored to place un-
der arrest several days ago.
The case was given a hearing in the Po-
lice Court Thursday morning, but owing

fused to push the prosecution, conse-
quently Judge Kimban dismissed the
case.

was brought out that Turner saw Bar

him to arise. This, it is said, Barton re-
fused to do. The policeman then seized
his prisoner, pulled him upon his feet.

with heavy umbrella, which he held in
his hand. In order that he might defend
himself, Turner, it is said, struck back.

THE BULLET EXTRACTED,
Mrs. McMurtrie's Early Removal
From the Hospital Expected.

Mrs. Mcnurtrie's Early Removal
From the Hospital Expected.
Mrs Daniel McMurtrie was much re-
lieved yesterday morning after the re-
moyal of the mysterious bullet which
came from an unknown source the even
ing before and lodged in her left arm,
producing a painful laceration below the
elbow. The operation was performed by
DR.. Vaughn, chief surgeon at the Emer-
gency Hospital, who found that It had
torn its way around the portion of the
arm just below the elbow and had lodged
between the two bones OF the forearm,
shattering one of them. The bullet had
been distorted into a Jagged mass of me-
tai, supposedly by coming in contact with
some hard substance that Senected it
from its original course befoTt IT caused
the wound.
Mrs McMurtrie stood the operation
without any bad effects and il Is thought
that she will be able to leave the Emer-
gency Hospital within a few days. The
bullet was delivered to Detective Ser
geant Muller. who had ii examined by an
expert in proiectiles, who stated that il
was a 45-calibre bullet 1t is believed
that IL must have been fired from a
Springfield rifle. The range of such pro-
jectiles is about J., 700 yards. and there is
no telling whence the bullet was fired

der arrest at the Seventh precinct sta
ton, charged with assault and battery.

versity Hospital, suffering from a severe
bruise which may result seriously.

sides at the southeast corner Of Jefferson
and Canal Streets northwest. 1t is as

ing he entered the horseshoeing shop of
Calvert & Gates at Twenty-ninth and K
Streets northwest and was the instigator
OF the alteration which followed with
Gates. one Of the proprietors. The latter
finally struck Peters blow in the head
it is said, in the location of an old wound
which had resulted from an accident IN
Peters youth, when he was shot through
the skull.
The physicians at the hospital discov-
cred that a piece of bone protruded
through the bruised flesh and it was
thought at first to be fracture Fur
ther investigation, however, discovered il
to be a bone growth on the edge OF the
old bullet hole, forced through the flesh
by the blow.

M. D. BRAINARp COMMITTED.
Sent to St l1Iixabcth's Pending n
Sanity Enquiry.

| Mark d. Brainard the well-known and
| brilliant attorney. with Offices at ga F
| Street northwest, was yesterday COM
mitted to the Government Hospital for the
Insane to await7a judicial hearing before
the Probate Court. The action was taken
by several friends of the family. who are
prominent members of the same Masonic
lodges to which Mr.. Brainard belonged.
The arrest was made on warrant
charging him with disorderly conduct, and

since the death of one of his sons he has
shown signs of being erratic. He has
imagined himself the smartest man in the
world, and has announced many vision
Gry schemes of late. which TO him appear
ed to be realities. He recently announced
the formation under his guiding hand of
a legal talent trust which was to be
composed OF the greatest legal talent In
lawyers of ability as to make IL impraC-
ucable for any important cases to be
undertaken without the cooperation of
the trust. He had already proceeded so
far ss to be able to announce to his
friends that his profits alone in the trust
had amounted to as much as a million
and half dollars In single week.
With such an income his mind natur-
ally turned to expensive articles, and II
is said that he undertook to make a col
lection of ali the most valuable diamonds
in Washington. Although wealthy man
he was unable to satisfy his desire for
the gems and properly care for his family
at the same time, and it Is understood
that. with the consent OF the family. his
Masonic friends Instituted the proceed
ings that will result in his being con-
fined in an asylum until cured.
When taken to Mr.. Franks Office yes
terday he was examined by Police Sur
geons Hickling and Bowling. and, upon
their recommendation the necessary
papers were issued A. A. Lipscomb was
present as attorney for the brother TlIir-
ty-third Degree Masons, who had the
proceedings in charge.
Mr.. Brain2rd Is about fifty years of
age, and has been recognized as an at
torney of ability and force. For a time
he enjoyed extensive practice. He
was the bondsman of Edward NJ. David
