LYNCHINGs BY POLICE
Charles Callahan, six-year old boy
from 70 W. 90th ST. and two of his
playmates had been over there sew
o1al times. Charles had picked up
things that attracted his childish
fancy. Chapman had chased him
out several times.
Wednesday night the boy and
Theodore Kosiavelon, another lad
who lives in the same house with
him, were in the basement. Chap
man discovered them as they were
climbing out of the window of the
room in which he lived. He reached
to pull back the last boy going out.
He pulled him back and his leg was
cut by the Jagged window. He
scampered away, dropping the bag
of things he had picked up in Chap
mans room.
The Callahan boy ran home and
told his mother that Chapman had
tried to attack him. She called the
police and a dick, whose name signi-
ficantly has not been given publicity,
went to the house. He claimed to
have searched around and seen
something moving in the dark"
Either Chapman was making his
rounds Of the darkened cellar or was
lying on his bed asleep. At any rate
he was shot in the spine and died
later in the hospital.
In the hospital he was bounded in
his last hours of living by Tammany
dicks who tried to whitewash their
failure to make arrests in attack"
cases in Brooklyn this last year by
getting him to confess. There is q
possibility that they will claim he
did so.

HUNGRY THIEF
WINS MERCY

A pitiable story of destitution
and hunger was told to Judge Gus
A. Schuldt in Police Court today.
Joseph Anderson, colored, ex-
war veteran, who said he was 40
but looked so, was charged with
stealing a dozen and a half eggs
from the dairy stand o fairfax
Oyster at the New Center Market,
Fifth and K Streets Northwest.
Trembling with weakness and
minus his left eye, Anderson told
the judge he was hungry. What
little pension he had was cut off
by the economy act. Discharged
from the Soldiers Home months
ago, Anderson has lived from
hand to mouth ever since.
A kindly police officer who ar.
rested Anderson testified he be-
lieved the man was telling the
truth. Anderson showed Judge
Schuldt a letter from the Veter-
ans Bureau telling him fthe
loss of. his pension.
Judge Schuldt sent the man to
Gallinger for hispital treatment.
