The History of the Capitol.
n the Editor Of The Evening Star:


In a recent issue of your paper an article
appeared under the caption of "A Hand
some Clock" the last paragraph of which
said
THE Architectural history of the Capt.
toI of the nation Is scattered in para
graphs and reports collected In the ola
podrida of government reports. Poor in
dexing make it almost impossible to get at
anything short of a months laborious
search through dusty tones, If the data
wanted goes very far back. Architect
Clark began to compile this data nearly
forty years ago, and it Is supposed that his
very perfect collection is the only one in
existence"
This paragraph does not present the &C
tuaI conditions. Glenn Brown of this city
has for number of years displayed in
tense interest in the Identification and his
tory of the Capitol. as evidenced by pub
lication last summer of volume entitled
History of United States Capitol" An
other volume is in the hands Of a printer,
and should have been delivered last month.
These books give a complete and intelli-
gent description Of the entire building.

A LAWYER AND his CLIENT.
The True stcry Of a Recent Event.

Andrew Kelly alias Andrew Jackson
was tried last Tuesday for stealing g
horse and although his guilt was IN;
questioned he was acquitted, the Judge
instructing to render verdict Of not
guilty, because it was Shown during
the progress Of the trial that his con-
fession, made at the time OF his arrest,
was not entirely voluntary. There
being no other evidence Of any kind to
establish the fact that he stole the
horse it was impossible to prove his
guilt unless his confession was ad-
mitted. 81. d. Noise, Esq, who was
appointed by the Judge to defend
Kelly, he having beenvsunable to secure
counsel, handled the case we'll and it
was due to him that the confession
was declared incompetent and ruled
out.
Now follows the sequel: next morn
ing, ct an early hour, Mr.. Noise ap-
piled to the police for assistance in The
pursuit and capture of Andrew Kelly
alias Andrew Jackson The police give
the following version of Mr.. Noises

that Mr.. Noise retired last nig ght we'll

But next morning change came over

two turkeys and perhaps other articles,

dinary in conduct Of trial before re-
mark referred to in testimony of pre-

for the State, concluding his speech
last evening at the hour of adjourn
ment.
TUESDAY, APRIL 8.
When court convened this morning
Mr. Lee began his argument for the
defense. He spoke for more than two
hours, during which time he:discussed
the law bearing on homicide and self
defense ard quoted extensively from
the authorities bearing on the matter.
He reviewed the evidence brought out
in the trial IN a thorough and forcible
manner, making altogether an able
and telling defense of his client.
Solicitor Wilson followed making
the closing argument for the sState.
He spoke for nearly an hour and a
half. His argument was clear, logical
and to the point. The Solicitor as a
prosecuting officer has the faculty Of
doing his full duty in a fair and just
way, and his presentation Of the
State side of the case and his sum
mary of the testimony left nothing to
be desired
At the conclusion of the Solicitors
