USED KNIFE ON POLICEMAN
RELoTE SENTENCED FOR STAB
BING LIEUT.. FATHER.
Cut in Forehead While He Was Ar
resting Man Surrendered by
His Bondsman.

Charged with stabbing Lieut.. c. r. f..
Flather Of the fourth precinct last night
with a small knife while the policeman
was attempting to serve bail piece upon
him, Albert Belote of 631 G street was
committed to Jail this morning by Judge
Mullowny under an absolute sentence OF
nine months. In addition to this sentence
he was remanded to prison for lib days,
the unexpired time of sentence imposed
last September, and in lieu of which he
was for a time at liberty under a five
hundred dollar bond.
The trouble was the result OF j. A.
Frank, his bondsman coming into court
a day or so ago and asking for a bail
niece for Belote, stating that he did not
care to longer remain the mans security.
This was given to Lieut. Father to serve.
The latter repaired to Belotes home last
night shortly after II o'clock. and. as the
service was attempted Belote drew a
small knife and stabbed Father twice be-
fore the latter realized the man intended
to resist.
! A Observation-Disclosures fight followed, and
/ after a short but decisive struggle on the
| sidewalk Belote was sent to the station
| house in a patrol wagon. The knife pen
etrated the fieshy part of Fathers fore
head close to the right eye and made an
| ugly wound near the left shoulder. He
| went to the Emergency Hospital, where
the two wounds were treated. and later
returned to duty at the station house Il
| was stated today, however. that the
wounds would keep him from active work
| for q few days.
The charge upon which Belote was
| originally tried was habitual drunken
ness His daughter on the witness stant
| told pathetic story of her fathers grfe
over the drowning of son about a year
previous, to which she attributed he
| fathers habits. The story had its effec
| on the court. and upon the prisoner
| promising to behave himself he was per

instead of serving a siX-month sentence
In the workhouse. The bond was fur
nished and everything went along smooth
~ until several weeks ago. when. 1T Is al
