Colored AssaiIant of Police
man Kew Brought Back
Here From Providence.

Vernon Glascoe Howard. colored
seventeen years, confessed assailant
of Policeman Victor r. Kew of the
tenth precinct, who was shot and
dangerously wounded the morning of
November l, at Sherman avenue and
Barry place, was arrested in Provi-
dence, r. l., and returned to this city
last night in custody of Detective
Thomas Sweeney. Policeman Kew
today identified Howard as his as
sailant.
Howards arrest was brought about
through information obtained by De-
tectives Joseph Waldron and Thomas
Sweeney. The youth admitted to De-
tective Sweeney that he did the shoot
ing, discharging the only two bullets
in the weapon, because he was afraid
the policeman was going to arrest
him.
Had Planned HOld-up.
When Howard left his mothers
home at 1915 Euclid street the night
of the shooting. he stated. it was
with the intention of holding up the
proprietor of a nearby store. The
thought he might be able to make a
haul in the home of DR.. Joseph b.
CHEEKY, 11th and Euclid streets. and
it was while trying to open window
at tne uenllSt mousse lnal he WAS
sighted by the policeman.
Realizing he was in danger of ar
rest, the prisoner said he walked
south in the direction of a lumber
yard and when the police neared
him he fired the two shots. Leaving
the lumber yard, he stated, he re-
turned to his mothers home at 1O1 D
Euclid street and remained until he
went to Providence.
ParoIed From school.
The prisoner told Inspector Grant
and the detectives that he had been
sent to Sockonossett School, Provi-
dence, following his arrest for alleged
theft, and while there he is alleged
to have seriously wounded a guard
with a paper weight. Howard was
paroled, it is stated, with the u::der-
standing that he would leave the
state of Rhode Island and remain
away.
He came to the home of his mother,
he explained, and it was for the
purpose of getting money to finance
a dance that he started out, armed
with a pistol to hold up the store
keeper. A charge of assault with
intent to kill was preferred against
him.

covery, is able to be about. The
built was taken from his body and
was retained by the wounded man
