OPENING And CLOSING
OF STREETS And ALLEYS
Solicitor Duvall Suggests
Amendment to Laws.
Forwarded to District Commissioners for
Approval-Congressional
Action Wanted.

Mr. A. B. Duvall, the City Solicitor, has
an opinion upon the draft of bill ITO
provide for the opening and closing Of
alleys and the opening of minor streets
in the District of Columbia" which was
referred to him by the Engineer Depart
ment with a view to its legal form. Mr..
Duvall says:
The provisions of existing law upon
the subject are found in sections 1905 TO
1916 inclusive Of the Code OF Law for the
District. These provisions were a repro
duction of several statutes upon the sub
ject. and we have found from actual ex-
perience that they are Inadequate.
THE proposed bill provides for con-
formations in a court proceeding instead
of a proceeding before the marshal. This
COMFORTS with the proceedings for other
concentrations of land for public par
poses. The bill relieves existing law OF n
most inequitable feature which required
the jury TO assess the cost of condemna-
tion upon the square in which the alley
was opened. The proposed bill enables
the jury to extend its assessments for
benefits to land in the confronting squares
when the benefits extend thereto. The
bill also supplies a serious defect in the
existing law in the matter of notice to
parties in interest, and it is otherwise a
very great improvement upon existing
law
Il have made a number OF changes upon
the inclosed draft. and ] submit an
amendment to be inserted at the end Of
section 10. and a new section TO be known
as section Is. ! think that upon inspec-
tion OF these amendments you will APP
prove them"

DIRECT TESTIMONY In
STEWART WILL Case
Mrs. Gregory Says She Saw
Document Written.
Mrs. Stewart Stated That Her Niece Had
Asked at What Age a Girl Could
Make a Testament.

After a hearing extending over a weei
the first direct testimony relative to the
writing of a will by Miss Alberta Stew
art was given yesterday by Mrs. Amanda
W. Gregory, an inmate of the Stewart
household. She testified that during the
early part of May, 1901, about ten weeks
before Miss Stewart died. in July of thai
year. she saw her write the alleged will
Continuing. Mrs. Gregory said that she
and Miss Stewart were in the same room
at the time. She was seated at a window
sewing. and the girl at desk near an
other window.
Miss Stewart was only little over if
teen years old when she died. She left a
paper writing. in lead pencil, which was
offered for probate as her will. The docu-
ment was written in lead pencil, and was
without date or signature. BY the terms
of this alleged will, Miss Stewart left
her entire estate to her uncle and guar
dian, Mr.. Albert Stewart, and his wife,
Mrs. Anna Bell Stewart. and their son,
Frank Stewart. Her estate consisted of
real property valued at about $780, 600, and
personally worth between $1,000 and
l0,0O0
Maternal Relatives Cut Of.
BY her proposes testament she be-
queathed nothing TO her maternal rela-
tives. and they filed a protest against
admitting the alleged will to probate.
During the early part Of the contest
over the estate. several witnesses were
called who testified that Miss Stewart had
always expressed a kindly feeling for her
maternal relatives. 1t was not, however
until Mrs. Gregory testified that anything
direct had been said in reference TO Miss
Stewart making a will.
Mrs. Stewart, the aunt Of the girl. testi-
fed that on one occasion her niece had
asked her at what age a girl could make
a valid will. 1t was some time after that,
however before the subject was preached
again. Miss Stewart then. the witness
said, referred TO the subject again. having
been reminded of II by reading the opin-
ion Of City Solicitor A. B. Duvall, on the
matter, published in a local newspaper.
At that time, after reading Mr. Duvall's
opinion, Miss Stewart. her aunt, testi
fed. stated that she was old enough to
make will.
The hearing will be resumed this morn
ing before Justice Barnard, sitting for
probate business.

ment. They are all efficient workers in
their respective lines, and the Admins
tration has for some time been anxious
that they should be given the protection of
the civil service regulation.

GUILTY OF MURDER
CASE OF CAPTAIN DEMINC.
Legality of a Court Martial Verdict
Argued in Supreme Court.

The habeas corpus case OF Capt. Peter
c. Deming was argued in the Supreme
Court yesterday. Captain Deming was
an officer in the volunteer army during
the Spanish war who was convicted by a
court-martial which was composed wholly
OF officers of the Regular Army of en-
bezzlement Of the public funds. He was
sentenced to Imprisonment for three years
and to be dismissed from the service.
He was committed to the custody of
Warden McClaugheny of the military
rrison at Leavenworth, Kan. and later
WAS discharged by Judge Hooks upon
writ of habeas corpus. The court held
that the construction Of the court being
of Regular Army officers was in violation
of the irmy regulations and statutes, and
its action therefore void.
The warden. through the Attorney Cen
eral, appealed to the Supreme Court, and
the appeal was argued for the warden by
Lieut.. Col E. II. Crowder. judge advo-
cate. The case for Deming was presented
by Mr.. J. II. HAYDEN
