CASE OF ARm1srEAD TAYLOR.
District Attorney Davis States His
Position In the Matter.


There were practically no new develop
ments yesterday in the case of Armistead
Taylor, who shot and killed Sergeant Pas
sau while resisting arrest in house on
Fowler's Hill Wednesday. The case has
been in the hands of the grand jury since
Friday, but nothing definite has been done
by that body as yet. The grand jury ad-
journed last Friday with the understanding
that it would be reconvened tomorrow.
District Attorney Henry E. Davis said
yesterday that he had not yet decided
what action TO take concerning the trial of
Taylor II have not been officially noti-
fed" he said. that the Montgomery coun-
ty authorities desire to have Taylor sent to
Rockville. do not even know that he
has been indicted. But do know that he
has been held by the co.oner's jury OF the
District of Columbia for numbering Officer
Passau.
"Wednesday next expect to have heard
from the Maryland officials and viii then
look into the whole matter carefully. II
to my mind it seems best to send the man
to Rockville. where he may answer for the
murder OF Mrs. Rosenstein, l shall deliver
him to the Montgomery country sheriff
without delay. But il | think II best to
hold him for trial as the murderer of Ser
geant Passau he will be kept IN this city.
My purpose will be to determine how the
interests of justice may be best subserved.
Having so determined / intend to act with
out undue regard for public opinion either
in the District or in Maryland.
"Of the question raised about the right
of the officers to enter Taylor's house,
have not now anything definite to say. 1t
is my opinion. however. that much of such
argument is not based on sound law
Taylor is still confined in the District
Jail and no action will be taken by the
Maryland authorities toward securing the
prisoner until after the local grand jury
has finished with the case.
1t was reported at the City Hall yester-
day that the grand jury of Montgomery
county had been hastily summoned to meet
today, and it is the general opinion of
those who are posted in reference to the
matter that the purpose of its being con-
yened at this time is to take some action
in relation to the Taylor case. No definite
action, however, can be taken until after
the coroner's inquest, which will be held
in Baltimore tonight. Taylor is the most
important witness against John Brown.
now in Jail in Baltimore. who is suspected
of being the slayer of Roselstein.

The first stay at Newport will probably
end on June Is, when the squadron will
be augmented by the cruiser New Or
leans. On June 16 anchors should be drop
ped in Boston Harbor mud. On the fol-
lowing day, which is Bostons own holiday
Bunker Hill Day, the squadron will lend
itself to make the celebration of the day
greater event than it might otherwise be.

will be there over the Fourth of July, sail
ing the next day for Newport. exercising

until the middle of July. Then the squad
ron will get under way and proceed along
the New England coast to Portsmouth, N.
