CHARGED WITH MURDER
Three Oolored Hen Now in Jail Awaiting
Their Trials,
The District Attorney Taking Active
Steps to Have the Cases Heard
During January.

Active steps ere in progress in the office
of the district attorney toward the prep
aration of the cases against three alleged
murderers. all colored. now confined IN
the District Jail. 1t is the intention to
DISPOSE of ell these cases during January.
The first case will be called for trial soon
after the Criminal Court resumes its ses
sions at the close Of the holidays.
The prisoners who are charged with cap
ital crimes are Edward Smith, William NJ.
Strothers and Frank Johnson.
Hatchets Used in Two Killings.
Smith is accused of numbering Edmonia
Jackson the 18th Of November. A Ratchet
was the weapon used. The woman had
teen dead several days prior to the discov
cry Of the horrible crime, and witnesses
have come to the front who say that Smith
slept in the room with the body between
the date of the crime and the finding of the
remains.
A Ratchet was also the weapon used by
Strothers, 1t is charged, in ending the life
OF Rosa Talbot. in a house in the second
police precinct the morning of the 18th of
October. This crime was. particularly
ghastly, and the case is thought to be
clear, from the standpoint of the prosecu-
ton.
Mystery Surrounds This Murder.
Rather weird and mysterious were the
circumstances surrounding the arrest and
incarceration of johnson. A farmer named
John d. Marshall, on his way to market
early on the morning of August 3, cross
ed the Pennsylvania avenue bridge. He
had just reached the city, when a voice
called out from the darkness: Give me
match" Before Marshall had time to COM
ply with the demand there was a flash
from a revolver and bullet entered his
left leg near the knee. He was taken to
Providence Hospital. where he died some
hours later.
A post-mortem examination showed that
the bullet had passed uD through the leg
to the abdomen. Johnson was arrested on
suspicion and the evidence presented be-
fore the coroner's jury was sufficient to
warrant holding him for the action of the
absolutely no cause for the shooting.

DISTRICT LAND TITLES.
Suggestions of the Commissioners Re-
gardinE the Pending Senate Bill.

Enrd1nS the fenO1nx senate Bill.
In communication to Senator Mcmillan,
chairman of the Senate District committee,
the Commissioners today, In referring to
Senate bill 1896, Concerning land titles in
the District Of Columbia transmitted an
opinion of the attorney for the District to
the effect tina: he Is unable to advise that
the bill in its present shape is one The Com
missioners ought to favorably recommend.
The bill involves the principal features
of the Torrens' system for the registra-
ton of land titles, to set in motion the
statute of limitations SO as to perfect
land titles. and facilitate the transfer
of land. The attorney for the District
agrees that the bill has many desirab.
features, and says that if they alone were
embodied in it the measure would be OF
benefit to the community.
The Commissioners suggest that the sub
ject of the bill more nearly pertains to the
Jurisdiction of the District judiciary than
to that of the municipal executive, and they
further suggest that the advice of the chief
justice of the District Supreme Court might
aid the committee in arriving at the merits
of the proposed legislation.
