STREET BEGGAR

White Man from Norfolk Arrested
for Soliciting Aims on
the Street.

When Patrolnan Lang last night ar
rested Charles Stokes. a white man, on
a charge of soliciting aims on the pub
lie thoroughfareS, one of tho most pecu-
liar characters ever jailed at the Second
Station was placed in limbo. He has
proven mystery, and the officers of me
law are at a loss to advance a plausible
theory regarding the man or his alleged
ailments. He claims to be suffering
from St Nitus dance and paralysis. but
this is not credited.
1t seems that Stokes landed in Rich
mond yesterday from Charleston. w. Va
Heat once sought out Broad Street, and
throughout the entire day and until long
after dark he solicited trivial sums from
the numerous pedestrians.
his left arm trembled as il he had an
electric battery fastened to it. while his
laneness was quite noticeable. He told
a ptiful tale, and many. regarding his
apparent distress as genuine, contributed
freely towards his relief.
Patrolman Lang, after watching the
cripple for long time, decided that he
was fakir. and he forthwith placed him
under arrest. AT the Second Station the
man, who is of a robust statue. gave his
name as Charles StoiJ,s. claiming Nor
folk as his home. He says that he is
victim Of ST. Vitus dance. and recent
stroke of paralysis, which resulted in a
cripple leg. Four dollars was taken from
him.
When seen in his cell Stokes for some
time. evidenced every symptom of the
nervous trouble. but after a long talk he.
quieted down considerably, as a result
Of which no noticeable trace OF st. Eitus

explain the impedimeot in his walk. other
than to say it was due to naralysis, and
of this trouble he could give no clear ac-
count.
