Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

May %, 1863.--A parade Of thieves,
pickpockets and vagrants through the
streets Of the city attracted a large
crowd Of spectators today. Ever since
the beginning Of the Civil War Wash
ington has been infested with this class
Of professionals from the North, who
have fiocked here to prey upon the SOL
diers and the increased civilian popu-
lation Of the Capital Today 10 of these
men were taken from guardhouses and
marched through the streets to the tune
Of the "Rogues' March," under a guard
Of sergeant and 10 men. with Lieut..
Cooper Of the Central Guard House fn
command. They were placed upon
O'Clock train TO be carried northWard.
A great throng Of persons, attracted
by the interesting spectacle. followed
the thieves and vagrants TO the depot.
greeting them with taunts and jeers and
making merry with the query, How are
you, pickpockets?"
In the number were seven vazrants
and three serious offenders-John
Mather. a thief; John Leonard, pick
pocket, and william johnson, thief and
vagrant. The last three we're hand
cuffed and decorated with placards. on
which vas printed the inscription
Thief and Pickpocket"
All OF the party were young men. and
most Of them were rather genteelly
dressed. While some Of them hung
their heads in shame at the position In
which they were placed, others stared
about with hardened looks
Arrived at the depot, they were placed
aboard the cars. and the crowd that
followed them, by way of a Temem-
brance Of their "triumphal march"
along Pennsylvania avenue. gave them
a prolonged hiss and wished them bon
voyage to colder cline
Among the number was G. r. Nc

charge of robbing the late Lieut. Gra-
ham while the latter was dying from
the effects of wound inflicted by
knife McNaughton was acquitted on
that charge, but, having no visible en-
ployment. he was subsequently, arrested
as vagrant.
Some persons have predicted that
Washington would become civilized"
as result Of the influx ofsnew and
active elements from the Northern
States brought here By the war. but
that result has certainly not followed
from the visits of this class OF gentry.

thicknesses of organdy were put to-

RO7HSTEIN MADE
NO STATEMENTS
Cantor Says Gamblers Will
twill Speak for ITSELF

New York. Nov. . R-Assembly-
man Maurice Cantor. attorney for
Arnold Rothstein. asserted in the
district attorneys Office today that
his gambler client had not REVEALED
to him the identity of the man who
f" 'vouN1nI him.
Cantor was called to the district
at -..>,s office concerning reports
that on his deathbed Rothstein had
divulged facts he had refused to
give police.
Business Affairs
After a conference with District
Attorney Banton the lawyer told re-
porters, in Banton's presence, that
Rothstein had discussed only bus
mess affairs" with him at the hos
pital.
Cantor was asked If he thought
Rothstein and anticipated his death,
1t being known that he had made his
will shortly before he was shot in a
brawl about gaming debts. The
lawyer replied that the gambler had
"a very particular reason" for maxi
ing his will when he did. and that
the will would speak for ITSELF"
Know Slayer
Police revealed today that they
were holding Jimmy Meehan, host
at the card game at which Arnold
Rothstein dropped his rolf. the
game which led to Rothstein's death,
and that they had learned the iden-
tity of the slayer. Meehan was held
as a material witness.
This information was made public
through District Attorney Joab Ban
ton who said the police had informed
him they were looking for the man
they were convinced shot the gam
bier last Sunday when he refused to
pay 100000 he had lost in the game
in Meehans apartment. Rothstein
had refused to pay because he be-
lieved marked cards had been used
against him in game of stud poker
and high spade.
Besides this, Banton said he had
"a lot of information" he could not
divulge for fear Of weakening the
case.
Police were also looking for
George McManus, whose overcoat
was found in the room where Roth
stein was shot "Nigger Nate" Ray
mond, a gambler who was question
ed after the shooting but who then
disappeared, and several other un-
derworld characters.

CAPPELLI APPEARS
IN LOCAL CONCERT
Tenor Most Pleasing When he
Sings Folk Songs

Mario Cappelli. Italian-American
tenor, filled another local engage
ment at Trinity Methodist church
last night. Since his first appear
ance here last year at regular
church service. when he gave the
congregation a chance to see what
he could do, he has become quite a
favorite. engagements following In
q rapid order in Connecticut cities.
His modus operandi Is the same al
most everywhere: First a few solos
at a church glad of the opportunity
to hear a stranger Of ability sing at
O service; then a buzz OF interest
among the congregation: then an
engagement for weekday concert:
then others later. 1t Is an original
system, devised ny Cappelli himself:
and it works. Where many another
singer of parts is wondering where
the next engagement Is coming from
CappelH does not need to let worry
interfere with his technic.
For the most part Cappelll stuck
to his printed program last night.
The reception he got from the au-
dience was about as usual, the pre-
vailing opinion being that though he
could sing operate arias quite &C
ceptably ard with certain degree
Of skill still his main forte lay in
playing upon the emotions with folk
songs. heart songs, and those that
specialize in tune and a semblance
Of even rhythm. like the Negro
Spirituals.
He added the Little Brown Bear
the spiritual standing in the Need
OF Prayer" Holy Hours" THE
Rosary" italian folk songs. and
"Going Home" The latter consists
OF words set to theme from the
New World Symphony by Dvorak
and Cappelli aims to make his au-
dience weep as he cuts deep into
their emotions. And often he sue
ceeds.
His pianist was Clifford Fuller,
modest, unassuming and rather
bashful gentleman who played some
Chopin while CappelH caught his
breath. And be 1t said that Pianist
Fuller knew his chops.

 Things broke swiftly after the Kellogg anti-war treaty had been formally reported.
