OVER YEAR OLD
Colored Man Accused of Making

PROVES AN OLD THEORY

Your old policemen, crime-lnvcstigat-

professional lahors bring them INTO touch
with cvil-docrs, will tel YOU that sooner or
later a man or a woman who commits a
crime eventually returns 10 the scene Ot It

lar to them 10 ruost, 50 do murdcrerS,
gun play artists, thieves and similar
offenders drift back to the locale of thcIr
Jobs Why none knows lis just ono Of
those odd bits Of psychology We don I
quite understand
William T. Spear. a colorcd man,
furnishes tho latest example Of IL. so far
as the local police are concerned. More
than wear ago, according 20 the author
itlcs. William pulled some gun-play out
on Lincoln street and then made hasty
getaway \ few days ago he came back.
Now he in the hands oi the law, awaiting
a hearing on the charge of assault with
intent to commit murder
The story goes that back N May Of
last wear " NIlliam had a rumpuS with his
wife. Mary. IN a house NJ Cos Lincoln
street. gave her a tremendous beating
and when She tired TO get away from him
by running out of the house, pulled r-
volvcr and took q shot AZ her as she
climbed fence. She got away unsCathed
from the bullet but the police wcrcn' I told
about the matter until the next day.
Then, armed with a warrant, Court
Officer Mcdaniel went to the house TO
arrest Spear The door of the room he was
supposed TO be in was found locked on the
inside and il was conJectured he was IN
bed, wherefore Mcdaniel acted wanly,
not caring To give Spear a chance to
make a target OF him. E.ssaylng a flank
movement which gave q view of the room 5
interior from a porch, the apartment was
found 10 be empty and the bird flown, so
the warrant went back to the pigeon hold
when Spear should return
And return he did After making his
escape, Spear fed Southwark like the
swallows and came TO an anchor down in
South Carolina at place called Gafiney.
The police heard he was there, and let him
stay But Q few days ago he came back.
One would imagine that the doctrine of
safety first would have counseled staying
away from his wife. But II seems not, be-
cause he turned up hunting her around
Delaware avenue and Washington streets,
where she was employed.
That settled It Policeman Jordan,
whose post embraces the locality got
wind Of Spears presence and the next
thing, Spear knew was Jordan firmly but
smIlingly informing hln he was under
arrest
Today he was TO have had hearing in
City Court, but Philip Garrett his
counsel. asked Deputy City Judge HeIllngs
for continuance until tomorrow, which
was granted.
