TWO SENTENCES IMPOSED.
A Couple OF Hangings Billed for the
Same Day.

When the criminal court met last Saturday
morning the only business for consideration
was the motions In the homicide cases OF
Richard j. Lee and Antonio Nardello alias
Frank Ross. Tho first taken up was that of
Lee, in which there was motion In arrest OF
Judgment. IL was claimed that Thomas w.
Chase, one Of the jurors who sat In the case,
was incompetent, alleging that he was in the
employment of the District government re-
eeiyed double pay nom the United States, and
bad been convicted in the police court of as

that Chase drew pay from the District as a
Waterman, and was paid as n Juror, and that
the comptroller would hold that, as the United
States paid one-half of the expenses of the Dis
trict, an employe under II was an cmploye of

him as Juror, his accounts would not be

The court declined to hear such evidence, as
II was irregular. District Attorney Worthlng-
ton contended that the only question OF i'm

cited the statute governing the selection of
