WRENN MAY CLASH
WITH UNCLE SAM
CAPITAL CITY POLICE REFUSE
TO ARREST MAN INDICTED
IN RICHMOND.

Captain Thomas Wrenn. the we'll
known city sleuth. who attained much
fame and renown in the Beattte case.
Is scheduled to arrive In Washington
today, armed with reQuisition papers
for Thomas n. williams. who is
charged with having passed a couple
OF worthless checks on the Interna-
tionaI Text Book Company. by which
he was formerly employed.
Though indicted here last Monday
on the technical charge OF grand
larceny. 1t appears that the local au-
thorities have beer unable to induce
the Washington police to arrest VIII
liazna. who went to that city from
Richmond.
The two police departments dig
cussed the matter over the long dis
anc phone yesterday at some length,
the upshot Of the. affair being that
the Washington authorities declined
to take Williams into custody on the
ground that he was working for I'm
Gle Sam. II was not ascertafned. how
ever. in what capacity he was work
Ing.
Captain Wren has Instructions to
call on the Chief Justice of the SUI
preme Court of the District of CO.
lumbia In making the first move to
get possession Of williams. Whether
success or failure Will attend his move
ments after that step appears to be
somewhat problematical.

In the almshouse before he could hope
to get treatment in the Home. with
out even inquiring what was the mat
