COURT OF APPEALS
A Number Of Important Decisions Handed
Down Yesterday.
The President is the Only Hope fol
Jnmcs Travers-LOwer Courts
Sustained.

Late yesterday afternoon after the Court
of Appeals had adjourned for the day, a
number of opinions were filed in cases
argued before the court several weeks ago.
In the case of James L. Travers, convicted
last March of the murder of Lena Gross
near Brightwood last November, the judg-
n,ent OF the lower court was sustained
The principal contention of the condemned
man was that his confession was wrung
from him by threats and other induce
ments. The appellate court, however, found
that the defendant had been given the
benefit of every possible doubt, and that
there were no errors committed by the trial
judge of which he could justly complain.
Travers, young colored man, was SEN
fenced by Judge Cole to be hanged on the
18th of EeXt month, and his only hope now
is with the President.
In the case Of Richard H. Fletcher
against the Baltimore and Potomac Rail-
road Company, the judgment of the lower
court was also sustained. Fletcher was
employed by the company and was injured
by Being struck by piece of timber thrown
from train. He sued the company. claim
ing 10000 damages, but in the court below
Judge Bradley directed a verdict for the
defendant.
The judgment of the lower court was also
affirmed in the case of the Walter T. Brad
ley Coal Lime and Cement Company
against the Clark Brothers Lime and Ce-
ment Company brought to recover a judg-
ment creditors bill for S1,159. The defend
ent company contended that their real es-
tate had been conveyed to the corporation,
and that the property was, therefore, ex-
empt from attachment. In the court below
Judge Cox decided otherwise and in that
opinion he was sustained by the appellate
court.
In the case of Alice Boswell against the
District, in which she was awarded dam
ages because of injuries sustained by her
in falling over projecting gas box in the
sidewalk, the Judgment below was affirm
ed holding that the District in not remov-
ing or having removed the obstruction
thereby became responsible.
In the controversy over the estate of the
late Allen McLane, in which a ruling of
Judge Cox was questioned on the ground
that his temporary assignment to the
Probate Court was illegal without a revo-
cation of the regular assignment by the
Court in General Term, the temporary as
signment was held by the appellate court to
have been legal, and the rulings of Judge
Cox were affirmed.
In the case of b. HI. Warner against Thos.
z. Young, to collect note for 500. the
judgment of the lower court in favor of
Mr.. Warner was affirmed.
The judgment of the lower court in the
case of the Eastern Trust and Banking
Company of Maine against William G.
johnson and others was reversed. The
question at issue was whether trust re-
corded in Maine instead of here was prop
Bradley held that 1t was not and that the
right of possession had passed from the
trustee to the purchasers. The Court of
Appeals holds that while the trust had
not been properly executed the right of
possession did not pass from the trustee.

Another Suit.

A second suit has been filed by the Peo-
pies Transportation Company against the

pany shall lease the boat from May 10 to

chase at the close of the season for So, 800,
the owners of the boat to have control Of
it by naming the captain and crew, hey
to be paid by the company. The failure
of the owners to allow the boat to run to
claimed. occasioned a loss of $1,000 to the
company. The company claims that TO
sufficient cause existed for this action on
the part of the owners, and pray the court
to compel them to surrender the boat to
the company according to the terms of
the lease.
