FRED'K MASS IN TOLLS
HIS WIFE ALSO TAKEN INTO
CUSTODY.

Frederick Mass, twenty-seven years Of
age, known to the police as Whitley" and
his wife. Rose Mass, whose maiden name
was Devine, are in the custody Of the local
police as suspicious characters.
Several years ago when several alleged
''yeggmen" jumped from a train below
Alexandria and two Of them were fatally
wounded by the explosion Of dynamite, as
stated in The Star at the time, Whitley
was the man who was given credit for hav-
ing arranged for the wounded men to be
brought here to the Emergency Hospital,
where they died.
Mass was taken to the Police Court yes
terday and charged with vagrancy. The
hearing was continued until the 18th in
slant His wife is held at the house Of de-
tention.
An effort was made to find him at that
time, but the police did not succeed In To-
eating him. He denies he was associated
with the party of alleged ''yeggmen." or
that he knew them. Three days ago In
spector Boardman was told that Mass was
in the city. and he detailed Detectives
Horne, Father. Trumbo and Grant to
search for him. Yesterday Precinct De-
tective Mullen was called upon to assist

The arrest of Mass recalls the exciting
incident of the explosion of dynamite at
the time the alleged ''yeggmen" jumped
from the train, when two of their number,
James Mccarthy and Charles Foulke, two
Washington boys, lost their lives the
former had been in the tolls several times
before the fatefu day. He was a mem
Der of a gang of boys that, 1t was said,
received training under the late George
McCauley, who had served many years oil
his life in prison and who committed sui
eide at the Washington Asylum several
years ago.
Charles Foulke and others were arrested
about 1883 for roboing the hardware store
of Andrew Archer in South Washington,
and Foulke was sent to the reform school
on account of his youth. Later he turned
out with "yeggmen'' and was sent to pri-
son for twelve years. He had been back
from the penitentiary but a short time
when he was killed. 1t was thought he
was on his way with several companions
to rob safes in Virginia. Fearing they
were about to be caught they jumped from
the train as stated. A brother of Charles
Foulke, the police were afterward inform
ed, was killed in a running fight out west.

BuR1A1s IN OLD TRINITY.
Vaults There and at st. PauPs Still
Have Room for More Bodies.


Descendants of Knickerbockers with
vaults under the chancel and in the ancient
graveyard of Trinity need not fer that
their bodies may not, at least Tor more
than a few generations, repose among the
crumblng collins that were slowed away
under the arched brick walls below ground
before the art of embalming was practiced
hereabouts.
In the one hundred and more vaults Of
the churchyard, and in the ce. tery of old
ST, PauIs, there is room for many hundred
more. AS the sexton of ST. Paurs said yes
terday the vaults are like the crowded
trolley cars There is always room for
one more"
1t has been more than fifty years since
the last vault of Trinity was constructed,
burial in the city limits having been pro-
hibited in the interest of public health.
Now all collins which must be hermetlcaiiy
sealed, are generally lined wit copper or
lead and all bodies are embalmed. The
outer wood of the collins may decay and
fall to pieces, but the ner, sealed part
may last for a century or more A large
number of the mahogany collins In the
oldest vaults have been reduced to dry
splinters and dust. A few, constructed of
iron, of the aristocrats OF the parish may
last thousand years or more. These
never have been opened, and 1t is not
known whether or not the occupants have
preserved any semblance Of human form.
Sexton w. c. Broughton of Trinity super
intends the opening of the vaults. few
years ago he removed the slab marking
the resting place of a distinguished family,
dug down .our feet and came to three
heavy pieces of stone at the head OF the
stairway. six or seven feet deep, leading to
the vault not entered for fifty years
1t was crowded with disintegrating cof-
fins All that there was of most of the
bodies was the skull. 1t was not difficult
to make room for the latest dead of the
family line.
Some years there is only one interment
in Trinity or st. Paufs; in other years
there may be a dozen or more. Progeny
of the original vault owners who die in
places remote FROM the turmoil of Wall
street have been carried across seas and
continents to rest with their distinguished
ancestors. The vault opening, If 1t takes
place in the early afternoon, always draws
a throng of business folk and idlers and, as
the sexton said, is sermon in itself to the
money-getttng multitude.
In the vaults alone there may be the dust
of six hundred or more persons Many-o of
these belonged to families that are prac-r
tically extinct, and they never will be dis
turbed again. But there are a large num-
Der of the descendants of original vault
owners, and they esteem 1t high honor to
be laid away In Trinity or st. Paul's. There
will be room for all these for many years.

you're not only guilty of assault, but
you're guilty of lying" Judge Mullowny, in
the Police Court, remarked to Alice Jenkins,
colored charged with disorderly conduct
and assault on Gertrude Pleasant He inn
posed fines aggregating $50 or 10o days in
jail
Alice was having dispute with her hus-
hand II was testified. when Gertrude Pleas
ant went out to search for her brother.
Alice heaved a part of brick in her hus-
bands direction, but it struck Gertrude.
''Too bad her husband didn't get hurt,
there are so many wives hurt and no hus-
bands" Judge Mullowny commented.
You say that because you are bach
elor." Prosecuting Attorney Ralph Given
replied.
Alice denied the charge, notwithstanding
the testimony of four witnesses and that
fact caused the remark by Judge Mullowny.
