SOLVES MYSTERY
IN ATTACK ON MAN
Aged Mans Tale of Assault in
Home Changed to Street )
szs Robbery.

The mystery surrounding the beat
ing and ropbing of Ira Hatfield, 10
years old, of III Chester avenue, was
cleared today by Lieutenant Kuhn,
of the detective bureau. The victim
himself admits that he pawned a
valuable watch, which he at first re-
ported was stolen from him
From the investigation 1t developed
that the aged man was drinking in a
saloon in the Down Neck" section
yesterday afternoon, and in one of
the saloons visited he met three
strange men, who evidently saw him
display large roll Of bills. When
he reached the street he was as
saulted and severely beaten, after
which he was robbed of a sum of
money said to be about $85, the pawn
ticket for his watch and a number of
valuable papers.
Last night when Mr.. Hatfield was
found by Patrolman Rodgers, of the
Third Precinct, at the corner of
Ferry and Alyea streets and taken
to the Third precinct station house
he told a story of being robbed in
his home, and among the articles
he said were stolen was a watch
valued at $3.50 Lieutenant Kuhn
visited the mans home and failed
to find any trace of an encounter,
everything in the house being in per-
feet order, and there being no blood
stains on the kitchen floor where he
said the fight had occurred.
The old man told the detective
that he had been refused money by
his son in the morning and that he
then pawned his watch, but that
later in the day he was given the
amount of money he desired.
Mr.. Hatfield is said to receive roy
alties on a number Of patents which
he perfected and 1t is also said that
he usually carries large sums of
money

IN A WASHINGTON PARK

cation with the friends of a man
claiming to be Edward j. Blackburn,
of S46 Cateret avenue, Trenton, N. j.,

Washington Asylum for observation
as to his sanity.
The man, who apparently is pros
porous, created CONSERVATION in the

robe and go to bed on a bench. Pre-
viously he had demanded Of station
officials that they turn over to him
his wife and family who, he said, had
been kidnapped. The supposed Black
burn claims to be a wealthy artist and
inventor.

INVESTIGATING SMELL
OF CLARENDON'S JAIL
GOVERNOR SUPPOSED TO BE
LOOKING INTO ANONY-
NOUS CHARGE.

Little Rock, April 22.-Acting Gov
ernor Futrell left Little Rock Monday
afternoon with a ticket to Forrest
City, leaving considerable speculation
as to his point of destination. He in
timated he was going to the flooded
portion of the state, but there is rea-
son to believe he has gone elsewhere.
Shortly before the departure of the
acting governor, he received an
anonymous letter from Clarendon, in
which the attention of the governor is
called to the condition of the Monroe
county Jail. The writer declared the
Jail is in such a sanitary condition it
can be smelled for 100 feet. 1t is init
mated that pauper was recently
starved to death in the Jail and there
is now white man prisoner who re-
quires medical assistance, but is not
getting it.
Acting Governor Futrell read the
letter carefully, and though he felt
confident there was a mistake in the
assertions made, he has probably gone
to make a personal investigation.

improvement in his patients. In about
six weeks after the first treatment, a
second injection of the serum is given,
and DR.. Love was given assurance by
DR.. Friedman that no difficulty in Sc
curing the serum would be experience
ed, as, by that time, full arrangements
would have been made for it's distri-
