The Washington Post of Saturday last

local interest:
Frank A. Earl, who on Wednesday was
convicted of murder In the first degree at
Sidney, Ohio, was formerly well-known TO
the police Of this city, having been born and
reared in Georgetown. Earl, or Howard
A. West which Is his real name, was &C.
cused Of killing butcher named William
II. Legg, on the night of April 30, while he
and his partner, Frank Walker, were en-.
deavoring to enter Legg's place of business
on Pomeroy avenue, Sidney.
"West's record for petty offenses in this
city, the police say, was long one. He and
a companion were arrested in the year 1896
while breaking into store in Georgetown.
West was convicted on the charge Of house.
breaking. His photograph was added to
the District rogue's gallery on March 9Th,
1896, and in July, 1896 he commenced atwo
years sentence at the Trenton, N. j., peni.
tentlary for the offense. While serving his
sentence, it is said, his left hand became 30
manned that he nearly lost the use Of 1t,
and with this disability, with the allowance
for good behavior, he was released before
the two years were up. Later he lived on
the Canal Road, Georgetown, few blocks
above the Aqueduct Bridge.
"The family was well-known In that por.
ton Of the District, and young Vests moth
er, the police say, was found drowned in the
river, near the foot OF Thirty.tl(th street,
some years ago. Whether this happening
was accidental or premeditated, the police
cannot say.
when, after but two hours elaboration,
after hearing evidence in the case for ten
days, the jury returned verdict of guilty
against West, and offered no recommends
ton for mercy, the condemned man, facing
the electric chair, calmly lighted cigarette
and sat stolidly smoking. Now and then
he joked with the court officials and showed
not the slightest trace of emotion when the
verdict was read.
"During his trial in Ohio, the District
Central Office was called upon several times
to furnish Information regarding his past
record here, and his photograph and tran.
script Of his criminal record were sent to
the State authorities"
The parents of the condemned man were
former residents of this county.
