ACQUITTED OF MURDER.
Arthur Bland and Frank Turner
Found Not Guilty.

Arthur Bland and Frank Turner were ac-
quilted yesterday afternoon in Judge Brad
ley's court of the charge of murder. The
evidence was very contradictory on the
part OF the witnesses for the prosecution.
lt was shown that November 16 last. a
dance was given at the home of John
Green, on L street, in Bloodfield. John
Minor, colored, was master of ceremonies.
He was also the victim of Turner's pen
knife.
1t was testified on the part of the
prosecution that Bland came to the house
and invited Minor outside, where Turner
met him, and, after a scuffle, inflicted the
fatal knife-thruSt in the neck. The de-
fense relied entirely on evidence to show
that Bland had no connection whatever
with the tragedy, and that the killing by
Turner was in self-defense.
Thomas c. Taylor and Andrew Y. Brad
leyappeared for the accused. They showed
TO the court and jury that the dead man
was much larger than his slayer, and that
he had really assaulted Turner, who then
used the knife.
Judge Bradley instructed the jury that
there was no evidence whatever against
Bland, and Turner must be either con-
victed OF manslaughter or acquitted, as
the testimony did not Substantiate a charge
of murder After few minutes delihera-
ton the Jury. rendered verdict of &C
quittal.

A CONTEST OYER A WILL
Further Proceedings in the Van
RisWick Case.
Witnesses Called on Behalf Of Mrs
Carr To Show Undue Influence
Upon the Deceased.

The contest over the will OF the late
Mary Van. Riswick was continued yester4
day Afternoon in the circuit court before
Judge McComas. No evidence has been
addueed, and so far the trial has been
little else than contentious of counsel over
the admissIbllity of certain testimony This
morning the court will hear further argu-
ment on the relevancy of the statements
of Mrs van Riswick as to her intentions re-
garding certain property.
Mr. William i. Mattingly, counsel for Mr.
lambert outlined the defense 10 the jury.
He prefaced his remarks with "A legal
definition of undue influence which. he
said, must be abt olute coercion and not
merely persuasion. He contradicted the
statement OF Mrs. Carr's counsel that the
deceased waseasily persuaded. He Claimed
that she was q woman of unusual will
Fower, and if any Influence had been ex
ercised it was by Airs. Carr, with wHom
Mrs Y an Riswick lived. The evidence, said
counsel, would show that Mrs. Van Ris-
wick desired 10 keep the property in the
Van Riswick family, and the provisions of
the VIII were framed to carry out that
purpose.
The first witness called on the behalf
OF Mrs Carr was Dr. George Z Feiiwick,
wEo was placed on the stand to show the
physical inability of his brother, William
A Fenwick, TO testify in the case. The
latter is believed TO be an important Wit
ness, and Mr Perry Offered his desposi-
ton in lieu of the witness himself. To
explain MIR. FenwiCk's absence the brother
was placed on the stand, but the latters 5
statements did not entirely satisfy the
Lambert side, and it was decided that
the ouest:ol would 20 over fer the present
o give time for another physician To make
an examination of Mr.. Fenwick, who was
said TO be suffering so from heart disease
that attendance at the trial " ould really
imperil his life.
Mr.. John McGregor, contractor, was
called by Mr.. Perry, and asked as 10
improvem made upon certain real
estate owned by the deceased in this city
The quest on led up to another as to any
declarat.on, if any, he had heard Mrs.
Van Riswick make as TO the disposition
| OF her property. The time of the alleged
| declaration is said to have been in 1S92
This was objected to by Judge Wilson, who
| argued that declarat :ons of intention Were
| rot admissible, it not being charged that
| the deceased lacked mental capacity at
| the time the will was executed.
| Upon this point counsel argued on both
| sides until the Lour of adjournment, and
| will resume their contentious today.

An Interesting Legal Decision.

Judge Cole yesterday decided an inter-
esting legal point in the case of Frances
Batter against William F. Sa,ter, the
constable. The case grew out of an at
tachment for rent, and while Constable
salter held the goods under his writ they
were repleyined by Frances Butler. The
point was made By counsel for Salter that
a Judgment debtor could not replevin from
a constable who held effects under proc
ess of court, when the merits of the case had
been gone into. Judge Cole sustained this
contention, and directed Judgment in
favor of Saiter The latter was repre-
sented by Attorney james +. Mullaly.
This case was one of great interest to
members of the local bar practicing be-
fore magistrates courts.

THE KNIGHTS ARE OPPOSED.
Their Objections To the Extensions
of the Metropolitan Road.

The Senate District Committee gave n
knights of Labor, who are opposing the
extension OF the Metropolitan railway,
and to representatives OF that line. The
knights of Labor were represented by
John W. Hayes. general secretary OF the
order; II. b. Martin, member of the execu-
tive board, and A d. Best of Brooklyn.
Present on behalf OF the Metropolitan
line were President George H. Harries,
Counsel Nathaniel Wilson. and others.
The case OF the Knights OF Labor was
presented by Mr.. Martin and Mr. Hayes
They said that the Metropolitan road was
one that derived all It's rights and privi-
leges from the people OF the United States.
and obtained these privileges only by the
action of representatives Of the people.
He contended that a company so dependent
upon the people which deprived American
citizens OF employment solely because Of
their membership in labor organizations
should be granted no further privileges.
He thenga statement of the dis
missal of MessrS. ". 7. Smith, Dent. Casey,
| Trainor. and ei ght or nine other employees of
the company last j. une. He said they were
most Of them officers OF the local assembly.
Every effort had been made to find the
reason assigned by the company, without
avail. The Knights of Labor were fully
convinced that the men We're discharged
solely for their affiliatiUn with the order
President Harries stated that the men
were dismissed because they were dis
organizers and diSturbers; they attempted
TO establish a labor assembly among the
men in opposition to the wishes of many
of the men, who complained to the man
agement. The men who were dismissed
| made a great deal of trouble both for the
| company and for the other men whom
it employed. lie deIied the existence of q
