DEF ENDANT MAKES PROTEST
Broker MCGOWAN Objects to Nolle Pros of
Charges Against Him.
Insists Upon Trial, but District At
cence Accepted by Court.

Against the earnest opposition of the de-
fendant Justice Cole. in Criminal Court
No. l. today permitted District Attorney
Davis to nolle pros. the charge OF larceny
against Edwin B. MCGOWAN. a well-known
broker of this city. The court instructed
the clerk to have the record show that the
charge was nolle pressed by reason of the
fact that the Indictment was inadvertent-
ly found upon insufficient evidence"
Mr.. MCGOWAN was placed under arrest
the 26th of last November on a warrant
sworn out by William b. Matthews. en-
gagged in business in the building where Mr..
MCGOWAN was located. The allegation was
that one Saturday evening Mr.. Matthews
called at Mr.. McCowan's office and request
ed the latter to place in his safe a package
or money and keep the same until the fol-
lowing Monday, the banks had then
closed for the day. Mr.. Matthews called
and secured the package the following
Tuesday morning and left the room. He
returned several minutes later and accused
Mr.. MCGOWAN of having extracted Slio
from the package, which. he said originally
contained $500. Mr.. MCGOWAN Indignantly
denied the charge. but Mr.. Matthews in
sisted on having him arrested.
District Attorneys Statement
When the case was reached today Dis
trict Attorney Davis appeared in court in
a nolle pros. in the case, but had permitted
1t to be brought into court only after earn
est and repeated solicitation on the part of
Mr. MCGOWAN. The district attorney went
on to say that he had carefully reviewed
the facts and the evidence in the matter
several times, and was of the opinion that
the case should never have been called to
the attention of the grand jury. He could
not conscientiously stand before a jury and
ask that Mr.. MCGOWAN be convicted under
the indictment, Mr.. Davis said. and further,
he did not consider II proper to put the
government to the expense of a trial or
take the time of the court, especially as ii
was particularly busy, when trial would
clearly result in the prompt acGuittal of
Mr.. MCGOWAN. Under the circumstances a
trial would be persecution, not prosecu-
tion.
Attorney Brown Objects.
Attorney Chaplin Brown, representing the
defendant, insisted that Mr. MCGOWAN, as
a matter of justice, was entitled to trial.
He had only been resident of Washington
smirch his reputation by causing his arrest
on serious charge had been made Mr.
MCGOWAN would not he satisfied with a
mere nolle prUsequi being entered accord
ing to Attorney Brown, but was exceeding
ly anxious that all the facts in the pos
session of the prosecution should he pre-
sented to the jury in order that it might be
seen how wholly unwarranted the prosecu-
tion had been. Furthermore, il was de-
clared, Mr.. MCGOWAN had been put to heavy

Kruger would have preferred to wait
until England was involved with some
other power
Referring To the conditions under
which the Gladstone government
granted the convention of 1881 he de
MED that the grant was made because
Mr.. Gladstone feared q general Dutch
uprising.
The reason" he asserted. was be-
cause the Gladstone government believ-
ed the annexation Of the Transvaal in
1877 occurred under a misrepresentation
by Lord Beaconsfield that majority
Of the Beers desired annexation. It
was afterWard proved that this was
not their desire and the annexation
was cancelled"
