UNFORTUNATE SU|TOR
CAPTURED BY POLICE
HagerstoWn Man Thought to
Know Circumstances of
Death of Girls Mother.

Bruce McClary. twenty-four years old.
painter. of Hagerstown. Nd. was ar
rested late yesterday afternoon in
judiciary Square by Detectives Grant and
Helan of the district attorneys office as
an alleged fugitive from justice. The man
is supposed to know more than he will
tell about the death of Mrs. Mamie
Henry of Hagerstown, whose body was
discovered last Monday in the Maryland
town.
After being questioned McClary was
taken to the first precinct station house
and locked up for the night. and the
rest About 1 o'clock this afternoon he
was taken before Assistant United
States Attorney Hawken for further ex-
animation. and was closeted with him
for several hours. 1t ia understood that
requisition papers will arrive here to-
morrow. and the prisoner will be taken
back to HagerStOwn.
The arrest followed a visit to the
NJ. Wolfinger. states attorney OF
Hagerstown.
According to the story told Mr..
Hawken. McClary was in love with
Miss Lupah Henry. daughter of the
slain woman, and had annoyed her
with his opportunities to marry him.
The girl left home last Thursday for
a visit to this city. wishing to avoid
the attentions of McClary, 1t Is
stated.
Said to Have Quarreled.
The evening of her departure McClary
called at her home. and. learning Of her
absence, quarreled. it is said. with the
mother. who opposed his suit Since the
alleged visit it is reported. Mrs. Henry
was not again seen alive.
On her arrival in Washington Miss
Henry wrote to her mother. giving her
address. This letter, it is said. was de-
livered with other mail at the Henry
home. and when the mail matter was
later examined the particular letter was
missing, 1t is stated.
McClary came to Washington last
Monday and went directly to the board
ing house. it is stated, where Miss Henry
was stopping. He endeavored. by SUBJ
terfuge. to reach her. 1t is said. but
failed. The young woman wrote a note
notifying the police and McClary was
warned to keep away from the house.
When the prisoner was found In Ju-
dietary Square it is presumed he was
awaiting visit from Miss Henry to the
United States attorneys office to COM
plain Of his annoyances.
