BOW ENAND BOOKER Cases
They VIII Be Considered in the
Criminal Court This Week.
The Legal Complications Surround
ing Them The Former Charged
to EiII-Plens of Former Jeopardy
The Prisoners Alleged Offences.

Two interesting and complicated mat
ters will come up for consideration and
Acknowledgement during the present week
in the criminal branches Of the Supreme
Court of the District. One is iu connection
with the trial of Charles Bowen, colored,
who is indicted for the murder OF Samuel
Jones, and the other the case of Alexander
Booker colored, who come time ago was
convicted of assault with intent to kill
Lafayette letters, also colored. The COM
plication in the latter case was developed
Saturday, when Booker was called for SEN
tence before Justice Cole. Then it was
that the cour. was Informed Of the fact
that the prisoner was at the time of his
trial and conviction. and is now, serving
a sentence In the District jail for an Of
fence growing out OF the identical acts and
circumstances for which II was again ask
ed that he he sentenced to possible
greater punishment.
The circumstances surrounding the
Booker case are substantially as follows:
About a year ago Booker was charged in
the Police Court with making an assault
upon Lafayette LETTERS and his daughter,
Annie Barber. The testimony went TO
show that Booker lid not intend to make
an assault llpon the woman, but that she
threw herself between her father and
Booker and received a cat with knife on
her cheek. After investigation IN the
Police Court, Booker was found guilty of
simple assault and sentenced TO imprison-
ment in the District Jail for period OF
eleven months and twenty days,
which Is the longest term which Police
Court Judge can impose. After this. and
while Booker was serving his sentence In
the jail, the matter was referred TO the
grand Jury and an Indictment was re-
turned charging him with committing an
assault with intent 10 kill Lafayette JEFF
fers
Booker was brought to trial and found
guilty as indicted. For some reasoA or
other, during the proceedings Of the trial
of Booker in the Supreme Court of the
District no mention was made OF the fact
that he was tried in tho Police Court and
found guilty of making an assault upon
letters. and that the charge IN the Police
Court and the indictment by the grand

after the fight. however, Bowen was ar
raigned in the Police Court on the charge
of assaulting Jones with the handleblr Of
a bicycle. Because of the wound inflicted
! by Bowen, Jones was not able to appear
at the investigation and the hearing was
postponed. When Jones was able to ap-
pear in court and testify. Bowen WIS
found guilty and sentenced to impriso
ment in the District jail for period OF
thirty days. In a little less than a year
after Jones died and his relatives con-
tended that his death resulted from the
blow inflicted by Bowen. The physician
who attended Jones in his last illne IS
however certified that he died from an
other cause. Notwithstanding this. the
Coroner was notified and Jones body was
exhumed and an inquest held. AS the re
suit OF this Investigation Bowen was held
for murder and later indicted by the grand
jury. He was, however, not tried on this
Indictment, but was called TO trial On an
indictment charging him with man
slaughter.
On the day set for trial, Bowen's coun-
sci, Messrs. Kink, Hughes Frlsby, filed
a plea of former jeopardy" In which It
was cortonded that Bowen had already
been tried, convicted. and punished for
the identical offence foT which it was asked
that he again be put on trial.
After hearing argument on the sub,ect,
Justice Clabaugh sustained the plea made
on behalf Of the defendant. Bowen was
then held on the first Indictment found
against him by the grand jury, in which
he Is charged with the murder of Samuel
Jones. II is probable Bowen will be called
to trial this week.
