REARGUMENT IS REFUSED.
James Cannon Will Have to Remain
in the County Jail.

From present indications James Gan
non, who has been in the county jail
Tor many weary months because he re-
fused to sign a deed as ordered bv the
court, Is destined to spend many more
weary months there unless he accepts
the logic of the situation and complies
with the order of the court.
At the last meeting of the supreme
court in Pittsburg Attorney Richard
Busteed. jr, representing Cannon, pre-
sented petition to the court asking
for q re-argument of the case before
tnat body. Preliminary steps were also
taken to secure a writ of habeas corpus.
Attorneys Thomas +. Wells and C. X.
Pitcher opposed the application for a
re-argument and filed reason why it
should not be granted. The supreme
fusing a re-argument and ii is probable
that this is the legal end Of the case.
II re-argument was secured the
writ of habeas corpus would be asked
for and the release of Cannon secured
pending the re-argument. The refus-
al Of the court to grant another hear
ing disposes of the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings as well.
One of the peculiar features of the
case Is this: Gannon's refusal to sign
the deed really makes no difference so
far as the rights of the parties to the
suit are concerned. He is out of pos
session Of the land, the deed Of which
he Is asked to sign, and as the order
of the court requesting him to sign all
intents and purposes perfects the title,
his obstinacy goes for naught.

which had been persistentiy sought from

There is absolutely no warrant for this
outrageous assumption OF authority by
the board, an assumption which will meet
with rebuke from the courts just so soon
as the Commissioners attempt to deliver
the goods to the Potomac Company
It is known to everybody in Washington
that all the efforts Of the board TO favor
the Potomac Company have failed, the
failure being due primarily to the Illegal
