GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS
ARREST OF JAMES ESKRIDGE ON
GRAVE CHARGE. 49,
Accused of Making Murderous Assault
Upon William Reamer-Gen-
eral and Personal.

After search of over two months the po-
James Eskridge, colored, in cell of that
station Eskridge is charged with having
assaulted William Reamer an employee of
the Capital Traction Company, with a
deadly weapon about two months ago in a
saloon at Saith and NJ streets, Georgetown.
1t is stated that Reamer, with a party of
friends, was in the saloon, when Eskridge
and two colored companions entered and
demanded drinks of the bartender. The
bartender refused to grant their demand
and subsequently attempted to eject the
trio. Seeing that the bartender had more
than he could handle, Reamer it is said,
attempted to aid in putting the men out.
Eskridge realized that his party was about
to be conquered, and, 1t is charged, drew
large knife, with which he stabbed Reamer
twice, once in the arm and once in the
breast. Eskridge escaped, but his two COM
panions were placed in the custody of the
police, charged with diSorderly conduct,
while Reamer was hurried to the George
town University Hospital, where he lay in
a critical condition for over two weeks. At
one time during his Illness the physicians
al the institution thought he would die, but
he finally recovered
Several attempts were made by the po-
lice to locate Eskridge at his home, near
successful. The Virginia authorities were
acquainted with the facts, and were asked
to look out for the culprit, which they did.
They were successful last night in cap
turing Eskrdge in Fairfax county. about
fourteen miles from Rosslyn, Va. The no
tice of his arrest was Immediately tele-
phoned to the seventh precinct, and Police
