o'clock this evening, stated that Mr.. ).
f. Clements, who il charged with as
saulting Mr.. Frank Lyon with pistol

When Justice Hagan appeared at the

CHARGED with q felonious assault upon
Mr.. Lyon, Mr. Clements was not pres
emit, but was represented by Mr.. K. Q.
IL. Moncure. Mr.. Lyon announced
that the difficulty between Mr.. Clements
and himself was of personal character,
aud that he preferred to settle such mat
ters out OF court. he stated that he
had not only not asked for warrant for
Mr.. Clements arrest, but Mr.. Nackey had
acted against his protests and in spite OF
the fact that he had informed the Com

before the justice Of the peace and declare
himself the aggressor in the disturbance
at the County Courthouse Thursday.

10 appear before Justice Hagan with his
bondsmen, Messrs. Frank Hume, G. n.
Ssegmuller, and K. A. Phillips, but
upoa the advice Of bis counsel he re-
NAMED without the jurisdiction OF the

whether bail would be accepted. In
the meantime preparations were being
made to procure from Judge NicOl, of
the Circuit Court. q writ Of habeas

Clements to Jail. finally, IN the alter
noon, Mr.. Mackey concluded to change
the charge against Mr.. Clements from

ceaied weapons" and this case was con-
tinued to date to be agreed upon here
after. It is understood that Mr.. Gle
ment considers that he was technically
held under restraint during the period
that he was besieged in his Office in
Washington early Yesterday morning
by Mr.. Mackey, Jailer Collins and a
Washington policeman, and that he will
enter suit in the District against Mr..
Mackey for s25, 900 Tor unlawful de-
