in Court Today.

In the Probate Court today Attorney S. T.
Thomas presented for approval the third
account Of Frank Hume and Nicholas Shea,
executors Of the estate Of John Fegan, q
merchant, who died here in 1885, The sew
eral accounts Of the executors in this case

appraised at about $4,000, has been in
creased about $1,000 from sales of the stock
in trade at prices above the appraised
values and from accumulations Of interest
on money deposited by the executors. and
that the entire estate, amounting to 1884,
600, less the debts Of the deceased, amount
ing to about $11 600, and expenses of admin
istration, has been faithfully accounted for
and distributed to about thirty -odd indi-

Brown Found at Market.

Lieut.. Moore and Detectives Horne and
Hartigan left the precinct detective work
ing on the boy and went out for their reg
ular night duty. Later, when they learned
of the boys confession, they went in search
of Brown, but the latter was not to be
found. Shorter and Brown had worked
about the Center market, carrying baskets
and doing odd jobs, and the latter was
found there this morning by the precinct
detective, who picked him up IN a descrip-
ton Shorter had given. He promptly adj
mitted his identity, and told of the part he
had taken in the many robberies. Each
charged that the other had entered the
stores and houses, while the one on the
outside watched for the police The boys
told Of how they spent their evenings at
theaters, and committed the robberies after
leaving the places of amusement. Their
outfit consisted of hammer, chisel and a
long-bladed dirk. The dirk was used for
the purpose of opening window fastenings.
The money the boys took from the homes
and business places of their victims they
spent for food and candy and in going to
theaters. Brown said that SO was all that
he had received from Shorter, and he was
penniless this morning when placed under
arrest. They paid two visits to Muellers
candy store, and afterward sold some of the
candy they took away with them. Other
plumber, they say, they disposed of at a
secondhand store. The night they visited
the three houses on B street northeast,
tney SAID, q man stopped anu asked WHAT
they were doing At another place where
they were seen they feared they would be
arrested.
Last night Shorter, who appears to have
handled most of the plumber, went to one
of the theaters and met Brown after mid
night He had fight on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. while waiting for his companion. 1t
was an easy matter for them to open doors
and windows, they told the detective, and
when any difficulty was encountered they
abandoned the job and went elsewhere
They surprised the officers by confessing to
the robbery committed at the National
Hotel. From a trunk in the room Of Mrs.
Dana they took a quantity of valuable
wearing apparel and two vases, which they
sold. At another house they found no
money, but Shorter took a pair of trousers,
leaving his own in the room. 1t is probable
that the boys will not be taken to court for
trial until Monday morning.

rs RESTORED TO DUTY
CAPT. WALLACE OF YOUNG COM
MAND CLEARED BY HIS PEERS.
Of District Corps, Spanish
War Veterans, Criticises the Find
ings of Court-Martial.

Frederick 8. Hodgson, commanding the
District of Columbia Corps Of the Spanish
War Veterans, has issued general order
setting forth the findings of the general
court-martial which recently tried Captain
s. B. Wallace, colored, of Young Com
hand. The finding being mot guilty." Cap
tain Wallace is restored to duty and the
court is dissolved. The corps commander,
however, takes occasion to make some ad-
verse comments on the action of the court
remarking that the record exhibits error In
procedure and erroneous conclusion.
THE record clearly shows that the pre-
ponderance OF evidence proves the guilt Of
the accused" says the corps commander.
THE conduct for which the accused was
tried was Identical with the suppostitious
case of a captain of company who, in re-
Spouse to a legal order, reports to his bat
talon or regimental commander for parade,
and after receiving the order to fall in de-
liberia tely diSbandS his company and leaves
without being excused.
Captain Wallace, in his testimony re-
ferring to the action of his command on
the morning of the parade in question
said: We unanimously decided that we
would not assume any position other than
that which we believed precedent granted
US
eff the court did not believe Captain Wal
lace guilty of dfsobedience of orders, from
evidence given, the testimony of the ac
cused shows clearly that he was amenabie
to punishment under section /, paragraph
B, which reads: Conduct prejudicial to good
order and discipline
Facts Alleged.
1.-THE record establishes incontrovertibly
the following facts: That Captain Wallace
did receive an order from Senior Vice Com
mander Byron to form his command in line;
that an aid repeated this order to Captain
Wallace; that Captain Wallace sent word
to the corps commander that he would not
obey the order received; that Captain Wal
lace gave practical demonstration of con-
forming to his expressed intention to dis
obey orders when he dismissed his COM
mand and left the line without being ex-
cused."
The corps commander concludes his order
as follows: while the failure of the court
to administer a rebuke to Captain Wallace
and Young Command for their unsoldierly
and unpatriotic action in refusing to par
ticipate in the parade in honor of the naval
heroes because the line was not formed &C
cording to their ideas, may have a tenn
porary depressing effect upon the esprit du
corps of the organization, 1t is hoped that
the experience of all concerned may ulti-
mately result beneicially.
Let the commands of the Spanish War
Veterans regard the unfortunate occurrence
as a closed incident, and unite their
strength in a renewed effort to promote me
welfare of their organization

From Rome Designate Mgr.

While official advices regarding the ru-

Arrested by Special Officer.

Alexander Shorter lives with his parents
at No. 16 Mccullough street northwest, not
far from the sixth precinct station. George
Brown resides with his widowed mother
at 1915 91s street northwest Their arrest
was brought about because of the activity
Of Special Policeman Nicholas Miles, who
was on duty about the Center market for
many years He is now doing special duty
for the merchants whose places of business
are on Pennsylvania avenue and B street
northwest between 9th and 7th streets The
officer passed through the alley about 10
o'clock and examined the back gates find
Ing them all closed. On his second trip he
noticed the gate the premises of the
Neudecker Tobacco Company open. He be-
lieved there was something wrong, as it
was an unusual thing for the gate to be
open at such late hour.
Then he heard voices inside. Entering the
yard he found a of the proprietor of
the store engaged in conversation with two
colored boys, who had been caught in the
act of entering the shed for the purpose of
stealing bicycle. The officer grabbed for
the larger of the two boys, who proved to
be Shorter, Brown running away. Shorter
also ran from the officer, but the latter fol-
lowed him and summoned assistance by
blowing his whistle. The affair caused
some excitement in the neighborhood of
Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street, where
Shorter was captured.
Upon his arrival at the sixth precinct sta
ton Shorter denied that he was in the
yard for an unlawful purpose, and he also
denied that he had done anything for which
he should be arrested. Lieutenant Moore
and Precinct Detective Larry O'Dea placed
no credence in his story, and the latter re-
manned with him until about midnight,
when he weakened and admitted enough to
show that he was one Of the badly wanted
burglars,
