IS UNDER
PROBE
Wounded Man May Have Been
Mistaken for Escaped
Prisoner, Is Belief

Mystery surrounding the shoot
ing Of Alfred Lewis, colored,
twenty, about three miles from
Fort Washington, Md, early yes
terday, was clarified today by a
statement by Brigadier General
Samuel D. Rockenbach, COM
mander Of the Washington dis
trict, in which he declared an
army patrol, posted for escaped
prisoners, believed Lewis was one
of the men for whom they were
searching.
Affair. Is Investigated
A board Of officers has been APP
pointed to conduct a thorough in
yestigation of the affair, and
Rockenbach is expecting it's re-
port some time within the next
twenty four hours.
According To the report of the
affair submitted by the commanding
officer at Fort Washington to Gen
eral Rockenbach, two prisoners es-
capped from the guardhouse at Fort
Washington late Sunday night. The
escape was discovered early Mon
day morning and patrols were at
once sent to recapture them.
One of the patrols was rushed
to the Intersection of the Fort
Washington road with the main
highway, about two miles and a
half from the post.
Shortly after the patrol arrived
an automobile, going at a rapid
rate of speed, approached the in.
tersection from the direction of
Fort Washington. 1t was called
upon to halt, TIE patrol believing
it to contain an escaped prisoner
Fired ut Machine
Instead Of hating the machine
increased it's speed. The guard
fired at the machine in an attempt
to force it to halt, but failed.
Later, post authorities were noti-
fled that Lewis, son Of a former
employee at Fort Washington, who
Was we'll known In that vicinity. was
In Casualty Hospital, Washington,
suffering from a gunshot wound,
inflicted by soldiers near Fort Wash
ington.
General Rockenbach sent his in.
spector to Casualty to inquire into
the case and to ascertain il the
wounded man claimed to have been
wounded by soldiers. lie also m
quired into the financial condition
of the man and ordered IT, Lewis
was without means Of support to
have him transferred to Walter Reed
Hospital. pending determination of
whether or not soldiers were re-
sponsible for his injuries.
The man was found, according
to General Rockenbach, to have a
grave flesh wound in the side and
flesh wound in the leg, In which
the bullet still remained, both
wounds supposedly from the same
shot. Surgeons at the hospital re-
ported that Lewis was only slightly
wounded and in no immediate dam
ger, and both hospital authorities and
the man himself consented to a
transfer to Walter Reed Hospital.
General Rockenbach emphasized
the fact that the army was not yet
satisfied that Lewis was injured by
shots fired by the army patrol. He
further declared that cTen II this is
proved, there would yet be no ex.
PLANTATION of why Lewis did not stop
when told to, unless he had some
thing to hide, a supposition on which
the investiga ting board is working.
