WANTED IN WASHINGTON
Negro Arrested On Telegram
From the Capital.

James w. Leftwich, q Negro, twenty
nine years old, was arrested yesterday
by Detective Bennett as fugitive from
justice. He is wanted in Washington for
robbing George yigofski, of $3.50 in that
city last Monday. His arrest followed
the receipt of a telegram from the Wash
ington police stating that there was rea-
son to believe left wich was in this city,
and description of him was contained
in the telegram.
He gave his address as No. p Storm
avenue, this city. Word was sent to the
Washington police that the police of this
city had their man, and Detective Muel-
Ter. accompanied by yigofski arrived in
the city last night.
Leftwich was arraigned in the First
Criminal Court this morning, but as there
was no written complaint against him in
this court Police Justice Hoos refused to
have anything to do with the case. De
tectire Mueller explained that the COM
plant had ieen made in Washington,
and that such eases went through the
office Of the Attorney General OF tie Uni
ted States-that Leftwich was in fact a
Government prisoner. Leltwich was
loea,o TTn;tad CtataS
Commissioner Linsley Rowe. He adj
mitted his identity. but denied having
anything to do with the robbery. He
waived examination and said be was
ready to go back to Washington. He
started there this afternoon in the GUS
tody of United States Marshall.
Leltwich was employed as a Pullman
Palace Car porter on trains that run be-
tween this city and Washington.
yigofski story is to the effect that
while waiting for Western train in
Washington Monday, he asked Leftwich
what time the train started, and was told
that it did not leaye for an hour or so.
They got into conversation, Vigofski hav-
ing been at one time in the service Of the
same company. Leftwich invited him to
saloon to have drink. It was then
II A. NJ. He knew nothing after taking
tile drink until a. NJ. the next day. He
was on his way from Wilmington to Gin
cinnati, and had $3.50 in his pocket. This
he had shown to Leftwich before they
had the drink. When he came to in
Washington he found he lad been robbed
of his money.
