RIGID INVESTIGATION.
Maj. Sylvester Directs an Inquiry Re-

Maj Sylvester Directs an Inquiry Re-
garding John Carr's Death.
+ Major Sylvester has designated Capt
Isaac Pearson to make an investigation of
the death of John G. Carr, which occurred
in a cell in the Georgetown police station
ten days ago. This is the case in which
the coroner's jury returned verdict in
which the belief was expressed that the
mans life might have been saved had he
received proper treatment, and recon-
mending that an investigation be made
The order of the superintendent is in line
with the recommendation of the jury. In
order to have the matter thoroughly sifted
charges will be preferred against all those
in the police station at the time Carr was
locked up who had any connection with the
case AS stated in The Star at the time
of his death. Carr had been under treat
ment at ST. Elzabeth's Hospital for the
. Insane and was paroled Tuesday prior to
his death. The next day he was seen on
the streets, apparently under the influence
Of liquor. Some time after midnight he
was arrested and sent to the station on
charge of intoxicaton.
1.-The man is either sick or drunk" was
the message sent to the station.
His trouble was diagnosed as intoxica-
ton, and he was locked up. According to
the rules OI tn6 manual the OIIlcer at the
station is charged with the duty of visit
ing prisoners from time to time while they
are in custody, and this rule seems to have
been complied with. Other rules have been
issued to the police from time to time Civ
ing instructions as to the treatment Of
persons who are sick or who are so much
intoxicated that 1t might be dangerous to
confinc them in cell. 1t is a rule of the
department that such persons should first
be taken to a hospital and have a physi-
clan pass upon their condition. This, 1t
appears, was not done IN the case under
investigation.
Carrs death was not due to alcoholism.
but was due to cocaine or morphine, that
had probably been administered with a
hypodermic syringe. When the fatal dose
was administered is not known, but
syringe was found in the clothing of the
dead man after his body was removed to
the morgue. Major Sylvester says he
should have been thoroughly searched and
the syringe taken from him. The rules
governing the treatment of such cases, the
superintendent says, are explicit. and
rigid investigation will be made.
The rules referred to have heretofore
been printed in The Star. The result of
the investigation will probably not be
made known for week or ten days.
