Continuance Ordered of Proceedings
for Condemnation of Land.
Acting upon the advice of their attorney
the District Commissioners have directed
that the proceedings instituted recently for
the condemnation of land necessary for the
opening and extension of s, Decatur and
I'D streets shall be carried on. After the
proceedings had been instituted it was dis
covered that the act authorizing the open
ing of these streets enormously referred to
certain land as through lots IL and ~. in
Phelps and Nettle's subdivision of Connec-
ticut Avenue Heights, part of Widow s
Mite" The error in describing the land was
thought to be so serious as to warrant the
Commissioners in suspending the condem-
nation proceedings
A letter was subsequently addressed to
the Commissioners by Attorneys Britton

the matter or as to the exact location of
the land to be taken. The lots really Il
and AZ of Phelps and Tuttle's subdivision of

the ones contemplated by the act and the
attorneys expressed the belief that no court

and they expressed the opinion that there

ted In our city, and in a general way to
awful crimes all over the country. YOU
well say Just now the people of Washing
ton are very much aroused over a murder
case of a particularly brutal sort. The cir
cumstances of the crime have stirred the
community to point of demanding, almost
without dissent that the law be Immediate
ly applied to the guilty wretch"
You refer to the practice of our courts in
this District as a barrier to spe edy trials
for such atrocious crimes as the smell case.
The practice referred to is the taking of a
three months vacation in summer. The
tone of your remarks seems to be that
such delays of two or three months in the
laws course will not, of course, arouse in
the District the spirit of lynch law, which
has played havoc through the south to the
safeguards of society. While l am not an
apolog1st for the frequent iynchings in the
south. L want to call attention to what I
consider one of the greatest causes for
tnese unlawful occurrences, and that is the
oeiay OF the courts in taking UP the trials.
IL Is not generally known, away from the
south, that the plan of the circuit or su-
per1or ourts as established by law. is in
session every six months in each county.
While there are provisions for special ses-
sious of the courts there are none for draw
ing grand and petit juries for the trial of
such cases as the Smell and worse ones
Mark the difference between the delay here
and in the south. Here it is rule of the
courts, while in the southern states it is a
plan established by law.
There is general movement in most
of the states SOUTH particularly in Georgia
to remedy this defect in the plan of the
courts, so as to be prepared for such emer-
gencies and furnish a speedy trial and trip
for such brutes. l am of the opinion that
when these changes are put into execution,
grand and petit juries summoned instanter
the culprit put on trial, if proven guilty,
hanged in just as short a time as he tor
tured his victim, that lynch law will rap
idly disappear and law and order prevail.
[ am for speedy trial and execution.

sion from camp, while the District Ma

offensive words and his restoration to
duty followed.
