COMMISSIONERS SUSTAINED.
They Have Right to Abandon Proceed

fnEs in Certain Contingency.
a letter was recently received by the
District Commissioners from Mr.. C. ]. Bell,
president of the American Security and
Trust Company trustee of the estate of
the late B. H. Warder, in which Mr.. Bell
protested against the refusal of the Com
missioners to take land belonging to the
estate for the purpose of Albemar1e street,
at the value fixed by jury of condem-
nation. The matter was referred to the
attorney for the District and the Com
missioners have forwarded to Mr.. Bell,
with their approval an opinion by the at
torney in the matter.
The Districts law officer holds that the
law applicable to such cases. section 264
OF the Revised Statutes, does not prohibit
the public authorities from abandoning
proceedings to acquire private property for
public uses, and he quotes several cases,
among others that of the District against
the Prospect Hill cemetery, decided by the
District Court of Appeals, as sustaining
his contention. tt-.
cit is usually held" says the attorney
for the District, in the absence of statu-
tory direction to the contrary, that the
state or political corporation should be en-
abled to count the cost of property before
taking title, SO that the public interests
may not suffer by the undertaking of
benefit. My opinion is that the Commits
sioners had the right to refuse to take the
land necessary for Albemarle street at the
valuation placed thereon by the jury of
condemnation. and to abandon the pro-

H. Pierre Waggaman was called and
sworn. He told what he knew of the trag-
edy. He met Canty about noon on 14th
street in front Of John Sherman's office.
Witness and Canty talked over some busi-
ness matters. Canty said he was in a great
deal Of trouble. Witness went to get in
his phaeton in front of the Wyatt building.
AS Canty and himself reached street
talking witness looked up and saw Mr.. Rye
coming across diagonally from the Ebbitt
House. Rye was walking rapidly and had
his right hand in his right hip pocket, and
was going straight toward Canty. Rye's
appearance caused witness to think he was
out for trouble, and in order to keep out
of it witness jumped. into his vehicle and
went to the other side Of the street. Wit
ness saw Rye stagger out in the street and
fall.
A Decision in Cnnty's Favor.
When Mr.. Waggaman concluded the jury
was excused and arguments on the ques-
ton Of the admission of evidence relative
to threats made by Rye against Canty
were submitted. Mr.. Worthington insisted
that the jury was entitled to hear all such
evidence about such threats, as it had been
shown, he claimed, that Rye approached
Canty in a hostile manner with his right
hand, which the attorney declared held a
knife, concealed either behind him or in his
pocket.
Mr.. Davis, in replying to Mr.. Worthing-
ton, claimed that Canty was the aggressor,
and vigorously opposed the admission Of
the evidence desired by the defense.
Judge Cole decided that the jury was en-
titled to hear such evidence. Such condi-
ton of facts had been established regard
ing the killing that the jury was entitled
to be enlightened on the subject of threats,
and such evidence of threats actually heard
by witnesses, whether communicated to
Canty or not, would be admitted.
Court then adjourned.
