FRANK JOHNSON's PLEA.
Slayer of John ID. Marshall Willing to
Admit Granddaughter.

The trial of Frank Johnson, colored, I'M
der indictment for the murder of John d.
Marshall, set for today before Judge Brad
ley in Criminal Court No. 2, was, on mo-
ton of Attorney Fountain Peyton, counsel
for Johnson, postponed until Monday next.
Attorney Peyton explained that he had
only recently been assigned to defend the
prisoner and had not had time to properly
prepare his case.
Attorney Peyton added that so far as he
could see from a hasty examination, the
government could not, under any circum-
stances, convict Johnson of a crime more
serious than manslaughter. Johnson would
consent, Attorney Peyton added to plead
guilty of manSlaughter.
District Attorney Davis replied that the
proposition, being submitted without warn
ing, could not be answered by him on the
spur of the moment. The matter was
thereupon postponed, as stated, until Mon
day next.
johnson is accused of the murder of n
farmer named John D. Marshall the 23d
of last August. Marshall, on his way to
market before daylight on the morning of
sylvania avenue bridge. He had just reach
ed the city, when a voice called out from
the darkness, "Give me match " Before
Marshall had time to reply. as he declared
before he died, there was flash from re-
volver and bullet entered his left leg near
! the knee. He was removed to Providence
Hospital by those who had been attracted
by the report of the pistol and cries for as
sistance. He died at the hospital the follow
ing day.
A post-mortem examination showed that
the bullet had passed up through the leg to
the abdomen.
The fastening of the crime on Johnson
followed. He had been arrested as a sus-
picious character and when searched at
the station house loaded pistol was found
In his possession. In the Police Court he
was sentenced to Jail for carrying conceal
ed weapons. A detective from headquarters
who happened to be in court had his sus-
piclons aroused by the fact that johnson
answered the general description of the
man who Marshall said had shot him. and
by the further fact that one chamber of
the revolver had been discharged.
johnson was taken to Police HeadQuar-
tiers and later confessed that he had done
the shooting, but pleaded self-defense.

MOVE FOR TWO DISTRICTS.
Citizens of DledensburS. Md, Dis
trict Want Division.

party of gentlemen recently met in
Hyattsville, Nd. for the purpose of dis
cussing the feasibility of dividing the Bla-
densburg district into two districts. 1t was
proposed and generally accepted by those
present that the Baltimore and Washing
ton turnpike should be the dividing line;
that Bladensburg, which is situated on
the east side, should form one district and
part Fyattsville. which is situated on
the west side, should form the other. the
north and south boundary TO remain the
same. This would about equally divide the
district in voting population.
The present district is the largest one
IN the county, and, taken from a taxable
standpoint. it is as large as any two dis
tricts in tho county. The question of divid-
ing the district has been agitated for some
time by prominent members CT both poiit-
ical parties. The dividing of Marlboro dis
trict will, in all probability, hasten that
of Bladersburg.
II was decided by those present at the
meeting mentioned to call public meeting
shortly to draft bill for the division of
iadensburg district to be presented to the
legislature.
