No Case Against Tumblety.
Dr. Francis Tumblety was given a hearing in the police court yesterday. He
produced testimony as to his good character in years past, but there was
strong circumstantial evidence of his recent suspicious conduct to show
that Detective Horne was fully justified in placing him under arrest.
Ju[d]ge Miller was compelled to dismiss the case, but did so with
reluctance and commented strongly upon the reputation borne by the
notorious doctor. The police will keep Tumblety under surveillance during
his stay in Washington.
