Counsel for Passau's slayer Mny Ask
the Removal Of His Case.
Rockville, Nd, May 3l.-Taylor, the ne
gro, who killed Police Sergeant Passau. of
Washington, has written from the Balti-
more city Jail 10 his Washington counsel
Peyton & Jones, concerning his trial, which
is set for June 90 at Rockville. Robert B.
Peter was appointed by the court to defend
Taylor.
1t is understood the Washington counsel
will ask that the case be moved to st.
Mary's county for trial, on the ground that
Taylor will not be able 20 receive a fair
and impartial trial at Roc' vile. This.
however, is entirely unfounded. as the
general opinion prevails that Taylor will
receive as fair and impartial a trial as
could be desired. Judge James S. Hender-
son. of this circuit, when told of Tayior'S
desire to have his case removed to st. Ma
rvs county, said: If the case is moved
from this jurisdiction to any other it will
be 10 Frederick" The defence that will
be set up by Taylor will be that the mur-
der of the Rosensteins was instigated and
promoted by John Alfred Brown, who is
indicted Jointly with him.
The counsel for Brown. Senator William
v. Bouic and George NJ. Anderson, appoint
ed by the court, state that they will ask
for a severance of the charge against
Brown. They express themselves thorough
ly satisfied with their chances OF receiving
as fair trial for their client in Rockville
as at any other point i. the county No
thought of asking removal is entertained
by them.
