r. [. Copeland, Charged With
Staying Policemen, Answers
to Name for First Time.

A distinct surprise was created
In Criminal Court today. Justice
Bailey presiding, when Herbert L.
Copeland, colored, charged with the
murder May 81, 1913, OF Police
Lieutenant David J. DUNCAN and
Policeman John Conrad, admitted
his identity.
Copeland was indicted in June,
1918, and was incarcerated In the
District jail pending trial. When
arraigned he dragged himself along
on crutches int court and pleaded
not guilty. On the morning Of
April 81, 1919, Copeland made his
escape. It was not until last July
that he was captured in Akron,
Ohio, and returned to this city.
Copeland never admitted his
identity, claiming that he was
Love Golden" by which name he
was known and employed in Akron.
The police and jail officials here
were equally certain that they
had the right man.
When brought into court this
morning to have counsel assigned
to him, Justice Bailey, directly adj
dressing the prisoner, said: rs this
Herbert L. Copeland?" to which
the accused replied. Eyes, sir, this
is Copeland"
Copeland then requested per-
mission to submit a list of lawyers
whom he should like to have to
take care of him. The court granted
the request but intimated that he
would not be bound by prisoners
suggestions.
Extra precautions were taken by
the Jail officials when they brought
Copeland to the courthouse this
morning.
