BELIEVED TO BE INSANE.
Albert Belote Makes Murderous As
sault Upon George F. Shaw,


No permanent disposition has yet been
made of the case Of Albert Belote, the dis
charged post Office watchman who yester-
day tried to throw Superintendent George
F. Shaw of the Post Office Building over the

He had been once reduced for being found
asleep on duty and was afterward discharg-
ed for the same cause. He consequently
had grudge against Superintendent Shaw

certainly the worse for drink he caught the
superintendent unaware on the fifth floor
as he was leaning over the railing and tried
to throw him over into the glass-hoored
court below.

saved himself and then ensued a very swift,
thought silent. knock down and drag-out
fight. Shaw went down first under his as
sailant and then second time landed on
top of him with a strangle hold on Belote's
throat. 1t was all over in a minute and,
almost before the clerks about knew what
the police. was showed into the elevator and
well on his way to the first precinct station
house.
He was sent to the Washington Asylum
Hospital for treatment and observation
and it will soon be known whether he is
responsible enough to stand trial for MUIR

escape. He appeared none the worse this
morning for his fight and was attending to
business as usual.

DEATH DUE TO ACCIDENT.
Coroner's Certificate In Case Of Peter
Henderson.

Peter Henderson. twenty eight years OF
age, died suddenly at his home, 1918 N
street northwest, yesterday afternoon about
Gas o'clock. Because OF the fact that death
occurred so suddenly and there was no
physician In attendance the coroner was
called upon to make an investigation, and
upon making inquiry he decided that death
was due to an injury he had received in
Georgetown earlier In the day. A certifi-
cate Of accidental death was given.
Mr.. Henderson, who was a plumber, was
twenty-eight years of age. He gave up
working at his trade a short while ago and
had since been engaged as driver of a team
for q bottling establishment. Yesterday
afternoon while driving near NJ and JEFF
ferson streets, one of his horses fell,
pulling him from the wagon. Thinking he
had received no injury beyond being shaken
up, Henderson got back upon his wagon
and resumed his work.
short time afterward he complained OF
illness, and thought 1t best for him to stop
work and rest himself. Upon reaching his
home he told his wife and children of the
accident. but he still was Of the opinion
that he had received no serious injury Be-
tween and 6 o'clock he complained of
nausea, and Mrs. Henderson summoned a
physician, but before the latter could reach
the house her husband was dead.
The symptoms exhibited by the dying
man indicated that he had probably suf-
fered from conclusion Of the brain or had
had cerebral hemorrhage, but in order
that the exact cause might be determined
the coroner directed that an autopsy be per-
formed
