Correspondence of the American Republican.

WASHINGTON, APru b, 1916.
The Circuit Court met on Saturday and had
under consideration, during the whole of that
day, motion made by General Jones and MIR.
Bradley, for new tra! in the important Alex
andrIa will case--Walter S. Alexander and
others VS.. George S. Wise and others. This
cause which occupied the attention of the
Court aud jury at the last term for six weeks,
involved large amount of property, not less,
as am informed, than Slo0, o0O bequeathed
by George Dent Alexander to the defendants
II was contended by the plaintiffs that the tes-
tator was Of unsound mind, and they succeeded
at the trial during the last term in obtaining Il
verdict. The motion for new trial made last
Saturday by Messrs. Jones and Bradley, was
based, among other reasons upon the fact that
the Jury had rendered an argumentative and
therefore illegal verdict. Messrs. II. May and
Robert J. Brent of your city, resisted the mo-
ton for new trial, and replied at length to
MIR. Bradley. Gen. Jones will close the argu-
ment on the motion for new trial next Satur-
day fthe motion for new trial should pre-
vail, the present term of our Circuit Court will
probably be extended until June, if indeed il
terminate then.
Shocking Death. Another Coroner's inquest
was held in this city last Friday before Thos.
Woodward, Esq, and an intelligent jury. The
unfortunate victim, colored female servant,
about seventeen years of age, who lived with
Mrs. Gordon, in the Six Buildings, was burnt
to death early on Friday morning. From the
evidence before the inquest, it appeared proba-
BILE, that the poor girl had fallen into the kitch-
en- fire, having fallen asleep, The family were
alarmed by the unfortunate girls screams about
8 o'clock in the morning, and went to her as
sstance; but she was so dreadfully burnt, that
she died in about six hours afterwards. Accor-
ding to the POOR girls own account of the sad
affair, it appeared that "she had no friction
matches about her." My information is deri-
we'd from All intelligent member of the jury,
who, of course, heard the whole ofthe evidence,
and who united in the verdict of accidentally
burnt to DEATH
