swered the description of Nixon. He
ran when two civilians met him at I'd
and q streets short time after the
murder, and started south from I'd and
G streets and ran past the entrance to
Gordon avenue. Policemen and civil
ians Joined in the pursuit. He sought
refuge in alleys and vacant lots be-
tween the Union station and e. street
and was finally captured. Reports OF
the pistol shots aroused occupants OF
many houses. and the motorman OF an
all-night car found il necessary to stoI
his car in order that bullets from the
pistols of the policemen might no,
strike any of his passengers

gathered about the negro after he had
been captured. near North Capitol anC
L streets. Many of those who formed
