COURT DOCKETS MAY
Be CLEARED BY JUNE 2
Officials to Rush Work as
Rapidly as Possible.
Two Murder Trials to Be Heard
Before Summer Vacation Goes
Into Effect.

From now until June the work in the
different branches OF the Supreme Court
of the District will be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible. During the past week
there has been considerable talk suggest
| ing that after the date mentioned there
will be no jury trials in either the cir
cult or criminal divisions OF the court
and in consequence the work in the equity
branches will also be practically ended un-
| til after the summer vacation.
Believing that this will be the situa-
| tion 1t is the opinion OF some of those in
a position to know that iuries will not be
drawn after that date.
Can Hold Over.
Under the code the jurors are now
drawn to serve for two months, instead of
for one, as under the old law. The Jurors
now serving however, may be held over
for an indefinite time during the month
of June to dispose OF some OF the i'm
portant cases which demand immediate
consideration in either the circuit or GRIM
inal branches of the court.
1t is hardly probable. however, that such
action as this will be necessary, as the
work in the different divisions OF the court
is practically up to date.
In the circuit branch the most important
case pending which will.occupy the atten-
tion of the court for any considerable
length OF time is the suit Of Mr.. Virgil
Polling against the Capital Traction Com
pany to recover $4,000. claimed as dam
ages for personal injuries. The claimant
is represented by Attorneys d. w. and
II. II. Classic, and 1t Is quite probable
that the case will come on for trial on
Monday next before Chief Justice Biue-
ham. presiding in Circuit Court No.
Mr.. Polling was injured in an accident at
the corner Of Seventh and NJ Streets on
June l. 1889. and alleges that his injuries
are permanent.
Two Murder Cases.
In the criminal branch of the court there
are only two important Jail cases pending
which will be called for hearing before the
summer vacation. These are where the
prisoners are charged with murder, and
nave already been Indicted by the grand
jury.
Ihey are the cases OF James Free |
man, colorcd, charged with the murder OF
Mary Wells, also colored, on January 10 |
last, and Henry Silas. colored, indicted
for the murder of Nettle Carter, color
ed, February s.
There are three other prisoners held
in the District Jail on charges of MUIR
der. but indictments have not vet been
reported against them by the grand Jury.
These are Forest Pendleton, charged with
he murder of Grafton Brown on Febru-
iry q: Charles Thomas, held for the mur
Ter of Daisy Maddox. and Charles Thorn.
ield for the murder Of his wife, Mrs.
da Thorn, on May 3.
Some May Go Over.
The cases OF Freeman and Silas will be
disposed of during the next fifteen days,
hat of the former being set for trial
oday in Criminal Court No. 1, before
Justice Anderson. The trial of Sllas Is
ct for Monday. May 10.
II Is not probable that the other pris-
ners who are now incarcerated will be
allied to trial for the crimes with which |
hey are charged until after the summer
olidays. J.

Don't try to cure stomach trouble by
