WATCHMAN SCARED
NEGRO PUTS DIPLOMATS AGENT
TO FLIGHT.

A colored burglar was found in house 1923
18th street northwest, the prospective home
of an attache of the German embassy, this
morning about 1890 O'Clock. He was armed
with a revolver, and by drawing the
weapon he succeeded in frightening the oc-
cupants of the house and getting away
Only part of the effects of the prospective
occupants of the premises had been moved
into the house, and a young man was
there last night acting as waichman. This
morning he was awakened by hearing
noise on the lower floor, and upon going
there to make an investigation he was sur
prised by the colored man, who pointed
revolver at him. The young man did not
wait for explanations, but turned and re-
traced his footsteps to an upper floor.
Thoroughly frightened by the incident the
young man locked his room door and re-
manned there until he thought the burglar
had had time to get out of the neighbor-
hood Then he opened his window and
called for assistance. Policemen kleindfenst
and Stroman and Special Policemen Caid-
we'll and Connor responded.
The young man at the window told them
of his exciting experience, and the officers
entered the house and made an tnvestiga-
ton. They were told by the young man
that he had seen a mulatto man standing
on the sidewalk just after he had had his
experience with the man in the house. NO
trace of the intruder could be found by the
policemen, but later in the morning a col
ored man was arrested by Policeman Hop
kfns and held for investigation. 1t is not
claimed that he was in the house, but the
police have an idea that he may have been
standing upon the sidewalk at the time the
darker man was in the house. The prisoner
was under the influence of liquor and gave
his name as James Harris. Later he said
his~name was Charles Williams. He told
the police that he arrived in Washington
yesterday from Fredericksburg, Va. "A
charge of intoxication was preferred against
him and he is being held until his move
ments can be further investigated.

ball in the Police Court on John Addison
for assaulting William Bradley near the
corner of 18th and c streets northwest Mon
