A HORSE THIEF SENTENCED.
Robert Williams Tells an Amazing
Story in Court.


Robert Williams, colored, was the de-
fendant in the Police Court yesterday to
a charge of horse stealing. The case was
heard before Judge Scott, and Assistant
District Attorney Mullowny appeared for
the prosecution. Williams was not repre-
sented by counsel, evidently figuring that
his suave manner and glib tongue would
suffice to carry the conviction that he was
innocent of the charge Not so, however.
Williams carried a conviction, but 1t was
of the charge and he was sentenced by
Judge Scott to pay fine Of $50 or serve
ninety days Imprisonment as an alterna-
tive.
Not a little amusement and considerable
amazement was occasioned by the testi-
mony of Williams in his own behalf. The
horse he was accused of stealing is the
property OF Arthur Meredith Williams
denied all knowledge of the man. but ad-
mitted his acquaintance with the horse.
He explained TO the court-though not with
a great degree of satsfaction-that the ami %
NAL had been presented to him. His ex-
PLANTATION was to the effect that, While he
was beating carpets on a vacant lot at
the corner OF North Capitol Street and
Florida Avenue he was approached by a
white man, who asked him to accept the
animal as a present. Williams demurred,
fearing that all was not right and this so
incensed the would-be donator that he
grew exceedingly angry and threatened
violence. Williams was diplomatic, and,
seeing that a quarrel with subsequent
fight was imminent, he decided to accept
the horse
Mr.. Mullowny at this point in the testi-
mony asked Williams if he was in good
health, enjoying sound sleep and a good
appetite, to which the prisoner gave an
affirmative answer, supplementing it with
request to be enlightened as TO what
prompted the question. The reply of the
attorney for the prosecution was that a
man was possessed of a wonderful physi-
cal stamina who could tell such a story in
| court and yet enjoy good health. To this
| Williams made answer that he could prove
| his assertion if he had the receipt prom
| ised him. In explanation he told the court
| that when he accepted the horse he in
sisted on having a receipt and the donor
| had promised TO furnish one. He had fail
ed to do so, said Williams for some
unknown reason.
In disposing OF the case Judge Scott ad-
vised Williams that the next time he was
so fortunate to be presented with a horse
or anything Of similar value be would dc
well ;5 demand TIE receipt and then care
fully preserve it, as there would undoubt-
edly be occasion TO use it. AS Williams
stepped down from the stand some one
muttered in an almost inaudible tone
Well, il is the old. old story-beware o.

Petitions for Divorce.

petition for divorce was filed yester-
day by Marion Belle Trenton asking for
legal separation from her husband, Charles
Edward Trenton. who. she alleges,
throughout their married life of five years
has treated her with systematic cruelty,
and in the most inhuman manner.
The parties were married in Wisconsin,
in December, 1894, and soon after came to
this city to reside. After submitting to his
cruel treatment for several years, last
year, Mrs. Trenton says. for her own safe
ty, she was compelled to leave her hus-
band and go TO work as a clerk in a store
to earn her living. On several occasions,
she alleges, her husband bad met her on
the street and assaulted her.
Samantha Peck was yesterday granted a
divorce from her husband, William J. Peck,
by Justice Cole.
A petition was also filed by Clau-
dius B. Peyton, who asks the court
to grant him legal separation from his
wife. May C. Peyton, whom he charges
with deserving him and his home. The
parties were married in this city in Sep
tember, 1895, and Peyton declares that in
February, 1897. his wife, without just
cause, deserted him.

THE TELEPHONE CASES.
Hearings Not to Begin Until the Fall
Term of Court.

1t was definitely determined yesterday that
the hearing in what are known as the
telephone cases will not begin until the
fall term OF the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict. The matter came up in Equity Court
No 2, before Justice Cole. yesterday. on
motion of Messrs Birney and Wood and
Hemphill and Peters, attorneys for the
Telephone Subscribers Association, Who
asked that definite time be set for the
trial of the case of Manning & Co. against
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, which is being made a test case
in the proceedings. At the same time
Messrs. Jere NJ. Wilson and A A Hoeling,
attorneys for the defendant company, ap-
peared and asked for an extension of time
for the purpose of taking additional testi-
mony in the cases.
The petition of the defence for addi-
tional time was granted by the court, who
stated that in view OF the magnitude of the
interest involved and the near approach
of the end of the present term of court
it would be advisable to postpone the
hearing in the cases until the October
term of the Supreme Court of the District
In regard to the taking of testimony JUS
tice Cole allowed the defence until July
/ to gather additional evidence.
The suit of Manning & Co., like that of
nearly one hundred other patrons of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany, was brought for the purpose of COM
pelling the defendant company to comply
with the act of Congress of June 30, 1898,
regulating the price for telephone service
within the District of Columbia.
The act referred to, 1t will be remem-
bered, fixed the rate at $50 per annum for
the use of a single instrument and the
necessary appliances. Notwithstanding
this the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company, through its general mana
ger at that time, Samuel NJ. Bryan, noti-
fed subscribers that If they did not pay
the old, long established rates, which for
first class service were over twice the
amount allowed by Congress, it would re-
move its instruments and appliances from
their places of business.
large number of the subscribers then
applied to the courts for injunctions, ask
ing that the telephone company be re-
strained from carrying out its purpose. In
every instance the Supreme Court of the
District granted temporary restraining or
ders and SINCE that time both sides have
been preparing for the trial of the cases.

Three NEW schools
TO Be CONSTRUCTED
Conclusion Reached by the
District Commissioners.
Plans Modified So as to Bring Cost
Within Appropriation.
Opened nj the District
Building.

A decision was reached by the District
Commissioners yesterday to erect the three
schoolhouses for which appropriations
were made in June of last year. When
they advertised recently for proposals for
the construction of the buildings they
failed to receive bids sufficiently low to
build the schoolhouses within the limit OF
the appropriations. After considering the
matter they have decided that it will be
better to build them on a reduced scale
than TO wait another year and lay the mat
ter before Congress. Bids were opened
yesterday for constructing the Lovejoy
school on a reduced scale and according
to a modified plan drawn up by the Dis
trict Inspector OF Buildings. and when it
was found that the proposals came within
the sum available for the work, it was de-
cided to build all three schools.
One of the three schools provided for Is
to be a new eight-room school building on
the site of the old Loveioy school for col
ored children, at the corner of Twelfth and
d Streets northeast. The other two build
iugs are TO be erected at the corner of
South Carolina Avenue and Second Street
southeast, and on Fifteenth Street, be-
tween Rosedale and Gales Streets north
east each to be an eight-room structure.
The amounts appropriated for these build
ings were respectively $4,000 $4,000, and
1880. The latter appropriations included
not only the sum to be paid for the build
ings, but also the amount TO be expended
for sites.
According to the present method OF hav-
ing private architects prepare plans for
schools, in order that each building might
be constructed in a separate manner, plans
for the three schools were received, but the
Commissioners were unable to erect the
buildings according to these designs, owing
10 the great advance in the price of build
ing material Bids were invited twice and
as often rejected for the Loyeioy building
and once in each Of the other cases, but all
estimates received from contractors were
uniformly too high. After the bids had
been rejected twice in connection with the
building of the proposed Loyejoy school

POLICEMEN ON TRIAL.
A Postpopement Granted in the o

On motion of counsel for the defence the
case of Policeman Oppenheimer, of the
Fifth precinct, against whom charges were
recently preferred as the result of a
shooting episode in an opium den in Four
and-ahalf Street northwest continuation
was granted until Thursday morning at IL

The case was to have been heard yester-
day before Trial Judge Pugh and several

Oppenheimer, asked for postponement,
with the result stated.
AS a sequel to the shooting episode re-
ferred to, John Cochran, twenty seven
years old, a painter, was arrested yester-
day morning charged with discharging a
revolver in the District. 1t will be remem-
bered that Cochran was accused of firing
Oppenheimer's revolver in the opium den.
Oppenheimer claimed that he was present
at the den in search of an umbrella, and
that while there he had occasion to remove
his coat and go into a room adjoining that
in which he left the coat. During his tenn
porary absence Cochran is alleged to have
secured possession of the revolver and to
have fired 1t. These may not be the facts
in the case, but they are as given to Major
Sylvester by the policeman. 1t was after
hearing the statement that Major Sylvester
ordered an investigation of the matter.
Policemen E. l.. Johnson, of the Firit,

APPLICATIONS FOR PARDONS
EFFORT TO SECURE RELEASE OF
JOHN WANLEsS.
Was Sent Up From Utah County For
the Crime of Rape-Williams Case
Comes Up.


An effort will be made to secure the
pardon of John Wanless tomorrow
when the board of pardons meets.
Wanless is imprisoned in the peniten-
tiary on q two years sentence on the
charge Of rape.
Ex-Sheriff Thomas Fowler of Utah
county was at the White house last
night having comes to- see Governor
Wells and to explain the case to the
board of pardons today. -ar1
I'VE believe that WanlesS who is only
a boy about q years of age, has been
imprisoned long enough" said Mr..
Fowler. Il have a petition signed by
the jurors who convicted him, by the
young woman in the case and by her
parents That ought to be sufficient to
secure his pardon.
1.-The people of Le1i where Wanless
lived do not think that he should be
punished any more because they be-
lieve that he was led into this trouble
by his companion who was sentenced
to five years in the penitentiary. AT
the time the crime was committed he
was drunk, which may be no excuse in
law, but considering the circumstances
of the case it must be taken into &C
count. The fact that the young women
has signed the petition should be very
strongly in his favor"
Mr.. Fowler saw Governor Wells last
evening and explained the case to him
fully. The governor would not COM
nit himself but asked the eX-sheriff to
appear before the board.
