JUDGE oLiN DECIDES THAT wyLiE WA
. RIGHT AND HUMPHREYS WRONG IN tn
CASE OF BRYAN W.. sANDERsoS- ORDER
I; MADE AND SUITS ENTERED.
BRYAN vs. SASDERsoS.
. The special term of tho Supreme Court o
, tho District, over which Judge DIN preside
for the next few months, drew . considerable
crowd yesterday morning to hear the conclu
i sien Of tho much.talkcd.of of case Of Bryan VS.
Sandurson, in which orders made by Judg,
"ylie bad become eutangIcd with thos,
made ly Judge Humphreys, aud were foatins
down tho tide together in confusion when
Judge Oln had launched amer them another
order of his own, which became mixed VI
with the rest and maio the sonfasion worse
cor:oandel.
! 1t was expected that tie hearing yesterday
wor'd disentarglo the snarl, and mako the
ease straight again. This breaght up the
crowd to listen.
Mr. Il. X. Elliott who appeared for Bryan,
opened the hearing by a statement to tho Of.
feet that Judge Wylic had, in the pending
case, issued a writ of assistance, directing the
marshal Of tho District TO give Mr. Bryan
(who had bought 10. on Capitol Hill. occu-
| II
but before he could do so Judge Humphreys had
granted stay Of execution Of Judge Wyle's
writ, whereupon Judge Wyle hal set aside the
oricr Of Judge Humphreys and directed the
marshal to proceed and execute the writ.
which the marshal had done, turned out San
derson and pat Bryan into possess sion Of the
lot; that the next day after the writ had been
executed. Judge Humphreys, who was, il seems,
unbrlldoscd by Jadge Wylic, made an end
to his part Of the case by an order which
ruled Bryan to show cause, on the ith of Sep.
tembcr, in the special torn, before Judge
Olin. why Judge Wyiie's order granting the
writ of assistance should not be set aside. On
the ith Judge Olin repcwcd this order, and
hxed the hearing Of 1t for the 10th. AMI the
10Th having cOnie, the parties were all before
| the court
Mr.. Mcloy appeared for Sandcrson the dis
possessed, and after Mr.. Elliott had accused
Meloy Of obtaining Judge Olin's last order by
Misrepresentation, as Mcloy had expressed the
pain he felt at such charge, the juigo wns
about to decide the case Mt once but Mr.
Meloy said he was sorry if the Court was 60
| ing to decide the case before he heard IT,
Judge Olin evidently did not wish MclOy To
score one against him by that remark. and de.
elarcd that he had heard enough, but if
Mcloy wanted to state the facts he could do SO,
| and be short about IT,
Mr.. Meloy then took the floor, and from his
| showing of the case Wylic was fcrocious
storm cloud which dnrkencd the horizon,
while liumphrics was but n little vanc which
turned with every wind, and which, when
Wylie's storm cloud had passed. carrying havoc
and ruin into Sandcrson's stable, only pointed
out the direction in which Wylic and his
storm had gone. DR. MclOy claimed that he
had only ten minutes to act when he found
that Judge Wyle had Issued tho writ of assist
ance, but he knew the sale to BRYAN had
taken place under decd of trust, and not
under decree of court, and that In such a
case the writ of assistance was like Washing
ton, and would not lie, but he had only ten
minutes.
Wylie was not to be found, but Humphreys
the genial aud just was at hand, He made an
order giving more time, and peace reiened.
Then Mr.. NJ. described Judge Wyies hot in
dignation as he saw that Humphreys like a
railroader on strike had set cross-tie In
front Of Wylie's train. There he stood, black
as night, fierce rs ten furics terrible as Forsyth
when he interviewed tho District Commission.
ers. MIR. Meloy quoted Virgil against Wylie,
and hoped Olin would not consider 1t a con-
tempt of court, to liken q judge to God and to
speak Of his faults in classic verse and un-
known tongue.
Mr.. Elliott had begun to reply, but Judge
oin s,id reply was unnecessary, and he pro-
ccedcd to give hisjudgmcnt to the effect that
sandeison has mistaken his remedy, which
was not by an order Of Humphreys but by an
appeal to the general term. He hoped that Mr..
Mcloy would not call on Judge Humphreys to
reverse the order. An order was entered
rcconsdcring the order issued against Bryan
to show cause, the effect being to leave Bryan
in pcaceabe possession of the property taken
from Sanderson.
