Police Split In Court Case Unique In The District
In a District police court case, four Fourth precinct officers testified for the prosecution while fifteen were summoned for the defense as witnesses in Saloonkeeper Frank P. Hall’s trial. Hall, accused of Sunday liquor violations, was acquitted by a jury after defense contended a frame-up with two hired informants. The judge ruled the fifteen witnesses incompetent and rejected their testimony. The defense claimed entrapment and paid informants, while Capt Williams and other officers suggested internal removal if bias existed. The incident centered on Hall’s Seventh and Estresia southwest saloon and a warrant issued the day after the alleged sting.

Boy Leaps From High Telegraph Pole After Brother's Suicide
A Baltimore boy, 12 year old Brandon King, killed himself, and within hours his 1 year old brother Walter Brandon King nearly joined him by climbing a telegraph pole. The younger child, badly but not seriously hurt, told investigators he climbed because he was tired of being shut up at home. He said he did not care what happened to him when he reached the top. Authorities noted the children had received kind treatment from parents and Mrs Bell, but the younger sibling showed no signs of depression.
