EVERYBODY IN A TANGLE.

Case of Horse Stealing That Puzzled
Court and Lawyers.
John Young, colored, was before Judge
Miller yesterday charged with having
stolen a horse. The complainant was
Henry Cole, who claimed the horse, but
the court had a hard time getting the
tangled case Strengthened out.
The testimony was to the effect that
Young sold Cole the horse for SO, several
days ago, and that but So has been
paid on it.
Cole sent the animal to pasture and when
it was brought back to the city it was
worth five times the value it was when
Young sold it.
Cole was away from town a few days
ago and Young went around in the alley
in the rear of Cole'sstable, the door of which
was open, and rode off on the horse. When
Cole heard of the affair he procured a
warrant Tor Young.
Mr.. Mullowney wrestled with the question
of ownership some time and turned the
matter over to Judge Kimball and in a
short time the whole courtroom was set
to guessing to whom the horse belonged
rightfully and if Young had stolen it from
himself or complainant.
Judge Miller finally settled the ques-
tion on the possession-is -pine-tenths
of-the-law plan, aud Young sent to jail for
three months.

NO CASE FOR THE JURY.
sourt of Appeals sustains Decision

Court of Appeals Susfains Decision
in the EdgertOn Damage suit.
The action OF the court below in directing
a verdict for the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company in the suit against it by
Martha, as ADMINISTRATIVE JamesS .Edger-
ton, was sustained by the Court Of Appeals
yesterday, in an opinion written by Judge
Morris. Edgerton was killed at University
station on October 10, 1892. He was
waiting on the track to board an accOmmO-
datiOn train and was struck by an express
HeIfved at Rockville and was returning home.
1t was claimed that the express passed
through the village at fun speed and neither
blew whistle nor rang bell; also that there
was a rule of the company that the express
should not pass a station at full speed when
an accommodation train was standing there
The appeal was on the ground that these
facts made case which should have gone
to the jury.
The opinion adverse to this view says that
Edgerton had no ticket upon his person
when found dead and this is a peculiar
thing. There was nothing to show that he
had the rights of a passenger or was entitled
to the protection of the company.
Edserton, apparently, lost control OF his
faculties. He was either grossly negligent
or remarkably reckless and was the author
of his own misfortune
As q passenger is obliged tOshow reason
able caution before recovery of damages 10
possible, there was no case for the jury.

MRS. DENsMoRE,s DIAMOND.

Somebody Stole 1t and She Thought
Conscience Might Reproach Him.
Mrs. H. Densmore, of No. 428 81 street

spector Hollinberger that her bed chambeE
was entered and $500 solitaire diamond
ring stolen.
When the ring was taken, few days
ago, Mrs. Densmore resided at No. 513 II
street The ring, she said, was an heirloom
and she priced it so highly she would not
even wear it. She said she did not report
the robbery TO the police promptly because
she thought the thief, perhaps, would be
conscience stricken and return it. The
Setting of the ring, she said, was heavy and
the stone weighed three and a half carats.
The detectives are trying to get a clew
to the thief
