The Hirth Murder Case Used Ms Ammuni
lion for 1hnir Cninnnlrn.

Last week a redhot bourbon meeting was
held at Rockville, Md, aud tho faithful
poured out their dcnunciation Of the republic
cans with full measure. Among tho instances
cited against them was the treatment received
by the colored people In this city and unlimited
power granted to them. As an illustration
that colorcd men could do as they pleased
here, defy the law aud go unpublished, the
case of the parties convicted Of the murder Of
George Z. Hirth was presented. 1t WAS charged
that the republicans had intcrccded in their
behalf and the prosp cts were that they
would be pardOned instead of executed.
A lawyer from this city was present at the
meeting and, after the speaker that boldly
made the above assertions had concluded his
remarks, asked the privilege Of saying few
words, which was accorded him. lie prciaced
his speech by saying that there WAS only one
point stated by the previous speaker to which
he desired to reply, aud that was In relation
to the murder OF Mr.. llirth. lie said that
the parties accused, tried and convicted were
arrested By republicans. Tho indictment
against them was found by grand jury com.
posed of white and colored men, more than
two.thirds Of that body being republicans.
They were tried before a republican
judge, prosecuted 10y a republican dis
trict attorney, and the jury that returned o
verdict Of guilty OF murder against them was
composed Of white and colored men, aud
nearly al OF lNtsu were ItpubllCAns Inc
case was appealed 10 tho supreme court Of the
District, aud the judges thereof, republican in
their politics, affirmed tho Judgment of the
court below. The three mcu, no said would
have been hung long ago had it not been for
three democratic lawyers, who have been
making every cxcg;ion and impor;uuing the

this District
Nothing more was said at that meeting
| about unlimited privileges being permitted to
| colored people in this city and their open and
fragrant violation Of the law. The contradiG-
ton was u settler for the bourbon democracy.
The cylorod people of this city have no sym.
| pathy with criminals and believe, white OF
colorcd, that they should be punished. Facts
show that they are even more severe on thciI
own color when violating the law than on the
whites.

A Man who Left the Prisoners Dock wifi
Grateful Heart.

u Gfbteiul t1Clrt,
Last week German named Emil Homil
WAS convicted Of assault on Policeman Fritz.
1t was not only shown in the evidence that
the man understood very little English, but,
at the time of the difficulty with the officer
was in deep domestic trouble. lie did not
comprehend the position of the officer, and In
his ignorance did what technically might be
called personal violence to tho guardian of
the peace. The jury 10 returning Il verdict Of
guilty recommended him TO the kindest mercy
of the court.
The man was brought before Justice james
| in the criminal court for sentence yesterday
morning Assistant Dis,rict-Attorncy Perry
called the attention Of his honor to tho case, the
recommendations by the jury, and said chat he
| thought 1t q case deserving of leniency. The
court stated that 1t was evident that this man
could only with difficulty understand the
English language.
1t was also evident that on the occasion of
this trouble he had been drinking and that,
combined with distress for the condition Of his
wife, probably placed him in situation
which to some extent excused his conduct.
His honor then admonished him to refrain
from drink and strive to become a. good citi.
zen. Ho should impose fine of 81, only a
nominal one, and hope that some gentleman
would furnish the means to pay it,.
At this juucturo BailT Seare stepped NJ
and handed Homil n dollar bill.
The man, who had been crying during the
entire time the court was addressing him, ac-
cepted tho money aud handed 1t to the clerk.
Assistant District.Attorney Perry said that
he had intended to pay the fine himself, bat
as some one else had anticipated him in the
act he handed tho dollar that he held in his
hand to Homil. The man seemed entirely
overcome with the kindness received, and left
the chamber thanking the court, officers and
all those who had been so kind to him in his
misfortune.

CALLING THE LAYERS TO TIME.
Justice James Gives n sharp Reminder to
Procrn stinatInr Attorneys.

demonstrating Attorneys.
Yesterday in the criminal court Assistant
strict.Attorncy Perry called the alter
ton of the court to the fact that little
attention was paid TO the assignment by
the attorneys, and the government foui
considerable difficulty IN prosecuting ia
cases on that account. Causes were
placed on tho calendar, and when called
for trial the counsel in them would plead
delay on account Of not being prepared to
proceed, aud Offering as an excuse that they
did not know the case was on the assignment.
lie asked that the court tako some action to
remedy tho trouble. His honor replied that
ho had been noticing the condition of Affairs
for some time, and had come TO tho conclusion
that 1t was timo to take action about it.
lie noticed that hardly any of tho
gentlemen practicing at the bar were
present in court that morning. Probably they
might have received intimation of his COLI
tcmplat ed order ard remainad away II that
was a fact, then he should try aud reach them
In some other way. In tho future lie said
that the gentlemen practlCing in the crmi-
nal court must make 1t their business to con.
suit the calendar aud sec If cases in which
they had been retained were posted for
trial. II there were cases IL was their duty to
know it, and the only way for them to do 50
was by consulting the calendar. Then If they
should not be ready to proceed there was Il
way TO mako II known. They could consult
with the District attorney or inform the
court, aud the same courtesy would be shown
as had always been observed when the cir
cumsanccs warranted It, But when case
was ctlcndarcd tweuty.four hours in advance
Of calling 1t and no notice for posipOncmcnt
was givcn, the attorney IN the case would not
be permitted at the latter time to come in
and offer his excuses for further postpone
mcnt. Hence forth the rulo would DO inlcxi.
bly, enforced, that cases assigned for trial
would be proceeded with when called for
trial, unless good cause had previously been
offered for delay.
