GREAT REWARD
FOR Mr.. GOODE
New Police Commissioner Saved
Lite and Has to Answer
Courts Rule.

Having gone TO the rescue of a ne
gro who had already been stabbed and
cut nearly TO death and afterwards
assisted in the capture Of the assail-
ant, Police Commissioner K. ~ Cioode,
whose term of Office dates back less
than ten days, was rewarded in Po-
lice Court Tuesday by having a rule
issued against him. And then ne was
recognized in the sum Of $500 to APP
pear as witness against Harrison
Hall. who is charged with cutting
Eugene Carr into ribbons.
The fight occurred on East Broad
street The trouble was over a wo-
man. Hall sIashed Carr across the
right arm. stabbed the knife into his
head, made a slash across the abdo-
men, cut him on both hips, in the
face and across -the-iaEe-
screams for assistance brought the
new Police Commissioner hurrying to
the scene, and he succeeded in MAX
ingSFIall stop his murderous work.
Han then ran, but was captured.
Carr lay bleeding and almost lifeless.
A hurry call was sent for the amou-
lance and DIR. thurman responded.
There were nine cuts and twenty
three stitches were necessary to bring
him back together.
In Police Court Tuesday, despite his
. Ter ipIN cutting, NHIE dppedTEtt swain
ed in bandages. There was not a
wound on Hall They stood side by
side, one a powerful negro, full of
vigor and strength; and the other
weak from loss of blood and almost
ready to die from the exertion OF
standing.
No evidence was taken. The Wit
nesses were called and the name Of
Mr.. Goode was announced. He was
standing in the private office of Jus
tice Crutchfield and did not hear his
name at once. When Justice Crutch-
field continued the case he ordered
rule to be issued against me commits
sioner.
/ Even before he had finished writing
the continuance upon the book Mr.
Goode appeared. The rule had not
been written, but the court would not
allow it to be withdrawn.
: And thus was the bravery Of the
man rewarded
