ARMED ON HER OWN LOT.
Convicted of Carrying Concealed
Weapons-Gun Was Exposed.

Mrs. Norah Garrison, eighteen years old.
of 1921 New Jersey avenue southeast, was
convicted of carrying concealed weapons
by Judge kimball In the Police Court to-
day and fined $50 or thirty days in the
workhouse in default. She was later re.
leased on 500 bond pending an appeal by
her counsel, James O'Shea.
The arrest of Mrs. Garrison was due to
row with negro neighbors. They testi.
fed that she armed herself with a re-
volver yesterday afternoon and threatened
to shoot.
In her own behalf Mrs Garrison said
she had been threatened with attack by
the negroes. Fearing they would invade
her premises, she says, she procured the
weapon as means of defense.
She averred, as did one or two witnesses
for the defense, that the weapon was In
full view. While she was armed with II.

Counsel for the defense argued that his
client had perfect right to adopt neces-
sary means to defend herself when
threatened, and especially so when she
was on her own premises. The court dis
agreed with the contentious OF the defense
and found a verdict of guilty
The charge and consequent conviction
aroused no small amount of indignation
among the defendants friends. 1t was in

now powerless to act. The fact Of the
woman's death was not furnished the
newspapers, even the day after she had
been shipped to her former home for

cholia and nervousness.
Just how the patient got on the porch

ton at the hospital was that "she is
doing as well as can be expected" 1t

SUIT WILL FORCE ACCOUNTING
BUILDINGA ASSOCIATION RECErv-
Err SUES FORMER SECRETARY.
John Barton Miller Charged With
Fraudulent Conversion Of Stock
holders Money.

William e. Ambrose, receiver Of tho
First Cooperative Building Association
of Georgetown. through Attorneys James
s. EasbySmith and John Lewis Smith.
fled suit today in the District Supreme
Court to recover from John Barton Mil
Ter, former secretary-treasurer of the as
sociation, s156. .327 80. alleged to have been
fraudulently converted by Miller.
The money sought to be recovered
is alleged to have been received by Mil
ler in his official capacity in the course
of settlements made by borrowing
stockholders of the association.
Thirty-four Counts In Charge.
The declaration contains thirty-four
counts, each of the first thirty three
charging Miller with the fraudulent
conversion Of specific sums of money
ranging from S192.49 to $1,000. and ag-
gregating S56,3a7.35. The thirty fourth
count charges that Miller fraudulently
converted between June 1, 1906 and
July IL, 1908, the sum of 100000 III
addition to the sum charged in the first
thirty-three counts.
Mr.. Ambrose states that the investiga-
ton of the affairs of the building ssso-
ciation, which have now covered one
year, have been greatly impeded and de-
layed by the disappearance of the books
and records of the association al the time
that Miller was deposed from the Office
of secretary-treasurer.
He adds that his investigation has now
reached such a point that he has been
able to prepare a fun and comprehensive
report showing the approximate condition
of the associations affairs, and showing
how, when and where large amount of
its money appears to have been fraudu-
lently converted.
He says he expects to file this report
with the court within a few days and then
to have it printed and distributed among
the stockholders.

Highest Minimum Temperature of
Year Yesterday-Relief by
Rainfall Promised.

Once again the weather record has been
broken.
June. SO far. claims the hottest day of
the year, but last night, July established
a record for the hottest night.
The minimum temperature at the
weather bureau for the past twenty-four
hours was 76, which was the highest
minimum of the year. Even during the
high tide of the recent heat wave the
mercury fell several points below this
minimum some time during the night.

went below the 80 mark last night. At 6
o'clock yesterday evening 1t was up to

ers, due this afternoon, and cloudy
