A damage suit was filed In dis-
trict court late Friday evening
against Ellsworth Hume and his
f-olored deputy, Richard Garner,
the plaintiff being William C Steg-
eman. The suit grows out oT Abe
difficulty between the sheriff’s
colored deputy and Policeman
Stegeman last March over some
arrests of colored women. Out of
this matter there have alredy been
two cases filed, one in which the
policeman was arrested on com-
plaint of the negro deputy sheriff
and his case set for trial in the
county court. When the case was
railed last month no one appeared
to prosecute and the case was dis-
missed by Judge Swigert. Next
the city officers arrested the neg-
ro deputy on two charges of In-
terfering with nn officer in the
proper discharge of hi3 duty and of
resisting arrest 11c was convicted
in police court on each count and
fined $ 100 ami given thirty days
in jail, from which judgment he
appealed.
During the first trouble Steg-
erman alleges in his petition that
wlille In the actual discharge of
his duties as night policeman on
or about the 12th day of "March,
191(1. it became necessary Tor hfth
to"- pass into and through a dark
and obscure alley in block thirty-
two, near the city building, which
alley was obscured and hidden
by the shadows nf the buildings,
nnd that while so passing, “the
defendants, Ellsworth Hume Tand
Richard Grner, the latter a power-
ful and dlsreputnble negro, lay In
wait in the said shadows, and
wholly unseen and unknown by
plaintiff, suddenly and without war-
ning in said dark place rushed
upon him from each side and pin-
ioned his arms In their grasps,
nnd seized and took from his per-
son the arms he carried in the
discharge of his duties and retail-
ed them from him, and with arms,
force nnd violence seized the per
son of the plaintiff, and with
loud cursings, threatonings and vio-
lence and against his will anil
consent drngged. pushed, thrust and
compelled him hy violence, drag
King and pushing forced him to the
office of said Hume, where he was
held in Imprisonment and confine-

do, they, the defendants, being
then and there wholly without any

Without definite count df dele-

so strong in his Tirvor as to give
him unquestioned preference.
Samuel S. Koenig, clmTrman of
tlie New York County Republican
committee, after talks with leaders
from many districts during the
last week said;
“It is evident, I think, that a
majority of New York state dele-
gates are In favor of Justice Hugh-
es- However, there will be no at-
tempt on the part of party or-
ganizations to line up delegates
for or against any candidate.
“So far as New York county Is

ganization for which 1 can speak,
we have our own preference, but
we shall go to the Chicago con-
tention prepared to confer with
