The two youthful murderers, Isaac
snowden and Charles Taylor, were brought up
to the Criminal Court yesterday for arraignment
Mr. Falls, counsel for Snowden, accused of killing
a boy named William Smith last December stated
that in compliance with the wishes of snowden's
sisters he would withdraw the plea of not guilty
and enter one of guilty Of manslaughter. Judge
Cox thereupon committed Snowden to the reform
school during his minority. In the case of Taylor
charged with killing a little boy named Edward
Ford in December last, Mr. Thomas, the counsel,
declined to follow Mr. Falls example, and the boy
will stand FIR trial

E41plexed by the wording OF section in the last
District appropriation bill authorizing them to sell
a certain lot belonging to the Government on
