HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Edward Thompson Under Bonds Of
81 600

Edward Tompson. who was shot by Po-
to appear in the Police Court today to an
swer to a charge of assault with intent to
kill A. P. Grinder. his brother-in-law. He
pleaded not guilty, and was held by Judge
Kimball under bonds of 81 600 to await ac-
ton by the grand jury.
Grinder explained to the court that he
was at his home, 343 Mclean avenue south
when Thompson came in and grabbed
pistol.
1.-The weapon went off, but I can't say
whether it was discharged on purpose or
by accident" Grinder said in his evidence
Il visited the station house and asked that
a policeman be sent to the house and two
officers returned with me. They asked my
brother-in-law for the revolver, but he de-
clined to give 1t up, and the officers told me
to go out Of the room, and as was going
out of the door he fired a shot at me, but
it went wild"
Policeman Waters said he went to the
house in company with officer Lester, and
curing the struggle for the revolver Thomp-
son pointed it at his brother officer, and
then he (Waters) pulled his revolver and
fired at Thompson. The latter, who was
given permission to make a statement, said
that he is a brother of Grinders wife.
He threatened to cut my sisters throat
one day last week, and Saturday night he
slapped her. and I got the revolver and.
shot it at the ground for the purpose of
soaring him."
Thompson was removed to the Emergency
Hospital Saturday night after the shoot
ing where the leaden missile was removed
by the physicians.

PREPARING FOR DEATH.
John Wesley Devine to Expiate the
Crime of Murder

John Wesley Devne. the colored man who
was convicted in Baltimore of the murder
of Patrolman Donohue, is to pay the death
penalty next Friday. He spent Sunday, his
last on earth, attending to spiritual mat
tized and married, and his wife has visited
him almost daily. Relatives of the con-
demned man, who live in this city, will
probably go to Baltimore during the week
to see him.
Carpenters commenced yesterday morn
ing the work of putting up the scaffold
upon which Devine is to be executed, and
the condemned man can hear the noise of
their hammers. Sunday afternoon the Rev.
L. w. Lane, Devine'S spiritual adviser, and
other ministers, administered communion to
the condemned man. At the Payne Memo
rial a. NJ. f. Church the Rev. Lane dis
coursed upon text selected by the muir
derer. During the course of his remarks
the minister said:
Down in the depths of his soul he has
been led to choose that good part and to-
night sends message to all of you who do
not possess 1t and are wandering aimlessly
about IN the darkness 1t is pleasure for
me TO bring such a message from one who
has been stranger to the kingdom for so
long time, but has at last entered the
fold.
ITO you who have known him in all walks
OF ME, who have sat at the same table
with MIN, trampIed in the same winepress
and played in the same game of cards, this
message came. 1t also comes to you pa
rents whose children are. wandering around
at THIS moment in the paths of wickedness
instead of being present in the house of the
Lord
Devine says he has received forgiveness
Tor MS sins and is prepared to meet his
fate.

United to the District Commissioners by
W.. x. Stevens, the superintendent, who

weeks earlier than usual because the beach

torn down in the process of removal to
the inner basin. This is in accordance
with an act of Congress approved July l.
l0o2, whereby permission to occupy the
present locality for a bathing beach was
revoked, and $1,000 was appropriated to-
ward improving the inner basin for bath
ing beach. The total attendance this sea-
son was 4214 This is about % per cent
less than last years attendance. A variety
OF circumstances combined to cause this
raining on. First. the season has been very
cool and summer pastimes have been poor
~ patronized everywhere. Secondly ex-
pectlng to tear down and build all the beach
belongings at short notice, the management
did not consider it economical to expend
much on repairs, and the old premises were
not very inviting
