Wife and sister to Judge Barrow
Prevented His Arrest.
Fighting his sister. who was endeav-
oring to induce him to go home, utter
ing the profanest language, and threat
ening to kill any one who offered any
interference, Charles Dunlop, young
white man, created a general excite
ment, and attracted crowd of people
in Court House Square shortly after
o'clock last night.
Liquor had crazed him, and after he
was taken in charge by county Off
GERS and an ununiformed patrolman,
Dunlop resisted and fought with all his
strength Whiskey had fired his brain
and given him almost superhuman
strength. He wrenched and fought,
and three officers had all that they
could do to handle him. There was
some question as to what should be
done with the frenzied man.
The attention of Judge Pope Barrow
was attracted, and he ordered that the
man be taken to the Court House. He
instructed the officers to look into the
sanity of their prisoner, at first being
impressed with the belief that he was
a maniac. The officers were making
for the Gamewell box, at York and
Bull streets, when the Judge issued
his instructions. Then the struggle
broke out afresh and the man bit and
kicked, and fought the officers with
the fury of a mailman
Wailing piteously, his sister, in deep
mourning, and his young wife, elbowed
their way through the crowd that was
pressing close behind the officers. They
aecosted Judge Barrow and the sister
begged that her brother be taken to
his home on State street, between Bull
and Drayton streets. Her appeal was
followed by the issuing of another or
DER, anu once IlOEe lllG OlllCCl ,
changed their course. Dunlop was fair
ly dragged to his home, where he was
held down by Deputy Sheriff Charles
Fennell and County Detective Charl-
ton. If possible, his condition became
worse and the man was little short of
a raving maniac, as a result of drink.
1t was decided to send him to the sta
ton house for safe keeping and the pa
troll wagon was summoned. No charge
was preferred against him on the DO
lice blotter, and he will probably be
turned over to his father by Recorder
Myrick this morning.
The man was seen on Bull and
Broughton streets a few minutes be-
fore the trouble. He was staggering
and the jeers of boys worked him into
fever heat. His passion was arous-
ed by their taunts when his sister at
tempted to get him to go home. Then
it was he turned upon her and provok-
ed the interference of young man
who was passing. The ARRAY threw
Bull street in a fever of excitement
such as it has not recently expert
enced. Dunlop was recently a bar
tender. When sober he is quiet and
peaceable and his conduct yesterday
was surprise to those who witnessed
the incident, although there were many
who expressed the opinion that he
should have been sent to the police
station house when the disorder was
first created.
