ALLEaE ATTEMPTED HoLD-UP.
Young Men Believe They Were in
Danger of Being Robbed.


Walter H. Scott. telegraph operator.
living at 80 Sd street northwest and AL
fred w. Swami. living at 1867 East Capt.
tol street. met some colored men on the
street, and each thought he was the vic
tim of a hold-up, and each made an out
cry and did a piece of sprinting that would
have done credit to professional. They
called upon the police and made report
Of the incident to Lieut.. Peck, at head
quarters. The lieutenant had heard SO
many reports of similar character in
volving the deeds of footpads that he
thought he would take a hand in the in
yestigation of the case in hand without
delay.
There was no claim in either case that
an assault had been attempted or that a
colored man had asked him for so cents,
and that he had run and called for as
sistance because he feared something
worse would follow. According to his
report the colored man was also badly
frightened.
Scott said he was on his way home
about midnight, and was about to enter
Judiciary Square at 9th and + streets,
when a colored man suddenly appeared
and asked for the amount of money
stated. Scott made such a sudden outcry
that the colored man also became alarmed
and ran, Scott running in the opposite di-
rection. He did not stop until he reached
police headquarters.
He was in a nervous condition when he
lated his story. He said the colored man
lated his story. He said the colored men
had suddenly appeared before him and
asked for money enough to pay for his
nights lodging and something to eat.
Swami. who Is employed by the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company,
had not recovered from his nervousness
when he reached police headquarters. col-
lowing summons from police headquar-
ters. His story to Lieut.. Peck was that
he was near the corner of 7th and II
streets northeast, about IL o'clock. when
two colored men suddenly appeared before
him. He thought the men had been Sc
creted in an areaway or behind porch.
Swami stated that nothing was said by
the colored men, nor did they attempt to
assault him. He became alarmed. how
ever, and ran in the direction of H street.
Then he told his troubles to a policeman,
but the latter failed to find any reason for
his alarm. No Importance was attached
to either case by the police, descriptions
of the colOred men not having been sent to
the several stations. 1t is admitted by the
police. however, that the colOred men who
solicited aid may be charged with vagran-
cy in the event of his being apprehended.
A report of robbery committed on the
kenilworth road last night was received
by the police from Isaac Wood, colored
seventy years of age, who tod the police
that he was in the yard in the rear of
his home, not far from the race track,
about 7 o'clock, when an unidentified col
ored man entered, knocked him down and
robbed him of 30 cents. He described the
robber as being about twenty-five years
of age and said he Wore a long dark coat.
The police are making an effort to find
the stranger.
