The neighbOrhood Of the Southern rail-
way shops and round house was very
quiet this morning. Workmen were en-
! gagged in the erection of heavy wooden
supports for the overhead bridge which

can be made from the machine shops

several special policemen could be seen
walking up and down.
Although no attempt has been made

MURDERER BANKS
DENIES A RUhOR
Never Said He Knew Who
Killed George Curtain at
Alexandria.
HIS MOTHER FRUSTRATED
Since Sons Sentence to Death She
Has Broken Down Com
pletely.
WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.
ALENANDRIA. Va. NOV. 1


For some days past "a report has been
circulated throughout Alexandria that
Howard Banks, cOlOTed, who was re-
Gently convicted of the murder Of
Thomas Elzie. colored. and sentenced to
be hanged on January IL. 1901. had
stated that he knew who killed George
Curtain. the young white man who was
murdered on December %, last. and his
body found floating in the Potomac
many weeks afterward lt was TumOred
that Banks said that he would confess
who murdered Curtain when he was
placed on the scaffold. A reporter for
The Times called at the city Jail and
upon explaining his mission was taken
by Warden Chandler 10 Banks cell. The
condemned man seemed greatly agitated
when he came TO the door.
Howard. do you know who murdered
George Curtain" was the first question
put 10 Banks by The Times reporter.
''No, SIR answered Banks clearly.
'Have you ever made a statement In
which you said that you knew who
murdered George Curtain, and that you
would tell when placed on the scanold?'
Banks was asked.
''No sir. If / knew / certainly would
tell in the condition / am in now" de-
ClaTed Banks. shaking like a Leaf.
Banks. there is a report out that you
told your mother YOU knew who killed
George Curtain and would tell all be-
fore being hanged" " said The Times re-
porter.
If my mother has made any such
statement" declared Banks, u know
nothing of il; never told her any such
thing"
The statement of Banks sets at rest
the rumor which has been gaining ground
throughout the city for some weeks
past. Banks seemed TO feel his position
more keenIy than at any time since his
incarceration.
Inquiry at the home OF a prominent
man. where Banks mother worked
brought forth the statement that the
woman had not been 10 work since her
son was sentenced. il being stated that
she had broken down completely.
