MADE A sHREwD MOVE.
Glen Echo Railway SEXES Slice Of
District Territory.

A raid on District territory, more sue
cessful than that attempted at the Aque-
duct bridge last night, has been made by
the Glen Echo Railroad Company, which
at the beginning of this year extended it's
tracks in Maryland from the District line
at Tenleytown to Chevy Chase, at the
ORTIZ end of the line, and from the Con-
duit road to within a quarter of mile of
Cabin John bridge, at the southern end.
The road has been hauling a goodly num-
Der of passengers this season. At Chevy
Chase the terminal was just outside the
District line. fifty or more feet from the
Brookville road and about 200 or 300 yards
frcm the circle.
This was regarded as too great a distance
for the passengers to walk, and arrange
me1ts were made for extending tine tracks
into the District, for which no special per-
init had been obtained. According to the
plans of the company for the extension, it
was necessary to lay the tracks across the
rockville road, and it was argued that If
application were made in the usual way for
this privilege there might be considerable
objection. the railroad is not incorporat-
ed under the laws OF the District, but &C
cordins TO the laws of Maryland.
The police did not secure an advance hint
Of the proposed vancouver. Last Saturday
light week ago a force of Iaborers was
put TO work shortly after midnight and
before daylight the extension was laid,
crossing the Rockville road with a single
track, and coming several hundred feet in
soItheasterly direction into the District
The total extension amounted to 400 or 500
yards.
The terminal of the road is now at Con-
necticut avenue extended about 300 feet
or more south of the Chevy Chase Circle,
and all that passengers have to do is to
get cut of the Chevy Chase cars walk
across tine road and board a Glen Echo car.
The police did rot discover the invasion
until daybreak the following Sunday morn
ing, when everything had been completed,
and the laborers and mechanics had left

made to Lieut.. Swindells of the seventh
precinct, and he in turn reported to Mai

PERRY EXPIATES HIS CRIME
Murderer Of Belly Lanier Hanged at Decatur,
Georgia.
He Was Cool and Collected and Main
tanned His Innocence to
the Last.

ATLANTA, Ga, September s.-H. 8.
Lanier at Decatur today. The execution
took place on a gallows in the yard of the
Kalb county Jail. The doomed man was
pale. but cool and collected to the last. On
the scaffold he declared his innocence of
the crime of murder, and reiterated his
statement that he killed Lanier to protect
the sanctity Of his home. The drop fell at
II :43 am.
History Of the Crime.
Horace Steven Perry was conducting a
small grocery business in Atlanta, when he
committed the crime for which he paid the
penalty on the gallows today. To supple
ment the family's income, Mrs. Perry took
boarders at their home on Piedmont avenue
and among these was Belly Lanier, a
young theological student. The domestic
relations of the Perrys was not happy.
Perry had become infatuated with a wo-
man of questionable character. In the
troubles that arose from this liason I.anier
became involved, and, as a result Perry
shot and MORALLY wounded him in the
court house at Decatur on Monday, March
8. After lingering for a few days. Lanier
died from the effects of the wound. Both
men were under arrest when the shooting
occurred, having been taken into custody
lowed Lanier for the avowed purpose of
avenging an insult to his wife.
Though both were searched Perry sue
ceeded in concealing pistol. and no soon
er had the party entered the court house
at Decatur than he fired upon Lanier.
After the shooting Perry said that his
only regret was the fear that Lanier
might live. He declared that Lanier had
outraged Mrs. Perry.
Lanier Denied the Charge.
Lanier strenuously denied that he had
committed the assault, and before his death
made statement in which he said Perry
was angry because he Oanier) had told
Mrs. Perry Of Perry's alleged relations
with other women.
Perry was tried for his life at special
term of the Dekalb superior court at De-
catur on Tuesday. April q, and convicted
The case was appealed to the state. SUI
preme court, which refused to grant a new
trial. Strong pressure was then brought
to bear on Governor Atkinson to save the
condemned man, but after granting n re-
spite to allow himself time to investigate
the case the governor refused to interfere
The sole plea of the Defense throughout
was that Perry killed Lanier to avenge
an outrage upon his wife.

bingham, which resulted from injuries re-
ceived by contact with the Woodside trolley
cars seventy-five yards north of the inter-
tion of the Metropolitan branch of the

trolled the motion of the car at the time
OF the fatal accident. He stated that the
accident occurred at $50 o'clock pm Sun
Cay. September 5; that just before his car
crossed the point (where the road leading
east enters the Brookville pike, he saw a
mans leg across one of the tracks when
he at once applied the brakes, but could
not stop the momentum of the car until
six or eight feet beyond where he saw the
mans limb.
In answer to the coroner and uliestions
by the jlirymen, he admitted that the car
had no fender. and that he had no instruc-
ti1ns 10 slow up on crossing the entrance
to the road, but that he was going SLOWLY

liable to the license because, though he
