Curiou. sight On the Avenue.

The spectacle Of a wagon mired ON Penn
sylvania avenue would have been common
twenty years ago. and perhaps would not
have attracted the attention of half a dozen
people. Such a spectacle this morning. how
ever, drew crowd Of a hundred TO the
corner Of 9TH street, where a great express
wagon. loaded with boxes of groceries. was
stuck fast. Recently the southeast corner
has been doctored so that the rounding In
to the avenue from It'll street has been
made easier. About two feet have been cut
of from the curve. but the asphalt has not
been replaced. The heavy wagon was
turned pretty short around the corner and
before the stout horses could draw IL over
the dangerous spot one of the hind wheelG
had sunk nearly to the hub and the whole
affair came TO q standstill An extra pair
of horses could not bulge the wagon. and
the attempt was given over for q time.
The sight of the mired wagon kept drawing
large crowds throughout the morning.

Absurdfty Asserted.

In view Of such authority and others none
less pre-eminent Mr. Davis claimed that it
was absurd to say that the omission charg-
ed against the four defendants i'm the pres
ent case could be the joint omission Of
every one Of them.
In concluding his argument Mr.. Davis
said that IL was wrong to say that Judges
were not aware or all that was Transporting
in the world about them, and he felt no
hesitation in saying that there was a. pub
lie clamor for the conviction OF the four
defendants.

A Reply to the District Attorney.


Replying to a remark of District Attorney
Birney that the duty of the defendants
could be proven. Mr.. Davis said he thanked
his friend for that suggestion, for in the
remark the purpose of the government to
allege substantially nothing against the de-
PENDANTS, and then on the trial prove them
guilty, IL possible. of something unknown
to them was disclosed. That purpose, as
serted Mr.. Davis, was the real great vice
of the two indictments, and when his friend
Btrney had become possessed of greater
experience he would realize that fact
The Texas court of appeals remarked
Mr.. Davis, had considerable standing in the
District at the present time, and rightly so.
he said, for the court held a position for
learning few others enjoyed at the present
time. That court had declared that TO
constitute criminal negligence or careless
ness there must have been violation of
some duty imposed by law, directly or i'm
plicitly, and with which the defendant is
especially charged. But the Texas court
went even further, and declared the re-
sponsibility must be exclusive and per
emptOry
