expected such a meeting will come
before the latter part OF the week.

~ retired after forty years on
the Capital police force. has a
memory replete with interest
ing events of official and unofficial
Washington. Entering the depart
ment at the age of twenty-five years,
he has spent his days in this serv-
ice.
Forty years Of arduous duty. gen
erously sprinkled with hair-raising
experiences, have dealt kindly with
the sergeant He doesn't at all look
as if he were ready to be laid on
the shelf but, as he points out, the
younger generation coming on must
have their innings, and he is quite
ready to sit back and watch the
march of events from the sidelines,
Up to three years ago, when Easley
was made sergeant of the guard at
the White House, his duty was that
of mounted policeman. and most OF
his ASST gnments were in the Tenley
town district, where his genial per-
sonality and quiet forcefulness have
made him well loved by all.
Perhaps the most exciting incident
of the sergeant's career was the cap
ture of Jack the Slasher.' criminal
of peculiar tendencies, who ravaged
the countryside for many months be-
fore his capture was effected. All
this happened some thirty years ago,
but the memory of that wild night
remains fresh with the captor.
For some time the police had been
baff1ed by the operations of a thief
who net only stole everything of
value in sight but took a fiendish

rugs etc, would be found by the
owners sIashed and cut almost be-
yend recognition.
Returning from duty one night.
Easley and fellow officer thought
they glimpeed shadow on the porch
of house they were passing. They
decided TO investigate, approached
the house from different directions
and succeeded in putting a man to
| flight, when the sergeant nahbed
him.
Ignorant of the fact tnat they had
hauled in any one more important
than an ordinary thief, they took him
20 the station house, where only a
short time previously robbery han
been reported In the neighboFhoed,
carrying all the earmarks of the
"Slasher,s' work 1t was very difh-
cult to get the prisoner 10 talk, but
it was finally established that he was
