WILLIAM KENNEDY was charged in the
Police Court to-day with failing to protect
tho areas in front of dwellings numbered
212 and 2l4 Eleventh street northwest
with railing, The question of law on
which the case depended was novel one,
the defense claiming that the houses in
question had been on grade when Eleventh
street was graded aud raised five feet. This
work done by the District deteriorated the
value of the houses, and the District itself
created the areas which it now sought to
force the individual to protect The attor-
Dey said that if the District could make an
area and then fine somebody for not put
ting a railing around it, one neighbor
might as well deposit a nuisance on an
other mans property and then sue him for
maintaining nuisance. Judge Smell said
that the equities seemed to be in Mr., Ken
nedy's favor, but the law was against him.
Judgment was postponed until tomorrow.

JOSHUA ANpERsoN's TRIAL.
Further Testimony for the Dcreus

Further Testimony for the Dcfeuse.
The trial of Joshua Anderson for the
killing of James Carr, December 81, 1881,
was resumed this morning in the special
term of the Criminal Court, Judge Mac
Arthur presiding.
L. B. Brown was the first witness ex-
amined. He knew both the deceased aud
the defendant. In November, 1881, he
heard Carr say if he ever got hold of An
derson again he would serve him worse
than he did the first time.
On ss-eXamination he adhered to
his examination-in-chief
Mrs. Pierce stated that the difficulty re-
ferred to between Carr and Anderson in
her testimony yesterday was on the 23th
of March, 1881. The words she heard Carr
say was Josh, can whip you, and you
know it,"
Colonel Cook was proceeding to show by
the witness prior threats not, however,
communicated TO the defendant.
The District-Attorney objected, where
upon somewhat protracted argument rs to
the relevancy of the testimony ensued.
Colonel Cook read section 1924 of the
Statutes-at- Large in support of his PROPOSE
tion. He read therefrOm number Of
authorities to show that previous assaults
and threats could be brought out to show
that the defendant had grounds when Carr
said he could whip him to suppose that Carr
would do so if he did not protect himself.
The evidence tended to show that Ander-
son had reasonable ground to believe he
was in danger of the antecedent conduct of
the deceased.
The Court refused to allow the evidence,
and the defense noted an exception.
On cross examination Mr.. Moore endeav-
orcd to impeach the witness by asking her
ifshe had not appeared several times as n
witness. The Government did not how
ever succeed very well in this endeavOr.
Alexander Freeman said he barely knew
the parties, but knew nothing about the
case.
Charles Griffin was the next witness
called. but his evidence was of the charac-
ter rs already ruled out by the Court.
Clarence Drury was next called.
Colonel Cook proposed to ask witness
what Carr was doing as respected Ander-
son. Witness having seen the two to-
gether about eighteen months prior to the
the killing the object Of the question being
to prove the beating of Anderson by Carr
near unto death with a stone.
The Court ovcrruled the question.
John Currihey called. Witness knew
both the defendant and the deceased. lie
head Carr threaten Anderson in the fol-
lowing languages "Never mind, you son
Of "a -, will get even with you.' The
occasion of the threat was that the asking
of Anderson for some money by Carr.
Officer Crump was next called to prove
| the had character Of Carr.
The prosecution objected and the pro-
| posed testimony was not insisted on.
Lyman Austin Littleiield was called tC
| prove that the defendant carried pistol in
the line of his duty as watchman.
