THE FLAGMAN CASE.
A Decision to BE Rendered by Judge
Cole Next Week.

In the habeas corpus cases of VIM. T.
Smith aud Isaiah Stevens, the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company engineers who
were convicted in the Police Court several
weeks ago for running their trains over
street crossings unprotected by f1agmen or
gates, Messrs. Hamilton and Colbert, coun-
sci for the company, agreed with the at
torney for the District today to. submit to
a pro forma judgment by Judge Cole. A
statement of the facts in the case was
thereupon submitted to Judge Cole. who
will announce his decision probably Mon
day next. The discharge of the engineers
will, it is believed, be refused. whereupon
the case will be carried up to the Court
of Appeals. But whichever way Judge
Cole decides an appeal to the Court of
Appeals will follow, both sides being de-
sirous of obtaining decision by the latter
court upon the validity of the law under
which the engineers were convicted in the
Police Court.
