.The trial of Thomas E. Walker on charge
of murder, for wounding Hills, at Analostan
Island on the 10th of June last, SO that be
died on the 18th of the same month, at Ross
lvp, on the Virginia side Of the Potomac, was
concluded on after noon Saturday by YER
dict of not guilty. The verdict was not unex-
pected. The District Attorney failed to obtain
the attendance ot Langley, the witness tor
whose arrival the trial had on the previous day
been postponed, and proceeded to the jury with,
out him. To the general allegation that mad
been suggested that if man be struck III the
District of Columbia and dies thereof 10 pir-
ginia, then in such case the courts OF the DIS
trict have no jurisdiction over the homicide,
the District Attorney replied that Alexandra
county was still portion OF the District OF 20
lumbia, never having been properly relroceded
to Virginia. The court said that 1t would as
sume that it possessed this jurisdiction, but
whether upon the ground that if party be
struck in one Jurisdiction and die Of the blow
in another, either State may take cognlzauce
Of the crime. or upon the ground that Alexan-
dria is a portion of the District the court did
not saw. MIR. Davidge excepted to the opinion
of the court, but with the verdict of aequlttal
oil course all law points drop.
''rhe status of the controversy over the constl'
tutioDality of the act Of 1916, retroceding Alex
andria to Virginia is this In the Payne Philips
suit the Supreme Court Of the District decided
last term pro forma in favor of the constitutions
atty of relrocession, but the case has been tax
Gu up upon an alocatur to the Supreme Court
of the Uoited States, where it will not, prob
ably, be reached for two or three years. lo
the meanwhile the status quo has the formal
decision of the Court of Appeals of Virginia,
and the like decision Of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia to support it.
