DOUBLE DEFEuCE OF
LAWRENCE NORMAN
An Alibi and Suicide Theory
to Be Introduced.
SEVERAL WITNESSES CALLED
Effort Made to Prove That Victim Was
Woman of Suicidal Tendencies and
Had on Several Occasions Attempted to
Take Her Life.

Lawrence Norman colored, who is on
trial in Criminal Court No. J. for the
murder of Annie Brown. also colored, on
September last. is making double de-
fence, the one being an alibi and lhe
other that the deceased may have COM
mitted suicide
When the Government closed its side OF
the case yesterday afternoon, several wit
nesses were called on behalf of the de-
fendant to testify that Annie Brown was
woman of suicidal tendencies, and had
on several occasions attempted to take
her own life.
Alleged Victim Drowned Herself.
1t is alleged that in a fit of rage in
which she was after her quarrel with the
defendant, that she voluntarily threw
herself in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
with the intention of ending her life.
What weight this evidence will have with
the jury, taken in consideration with the
evidence that the woman called Justify
for help while she was fioundering in the
water, remains to be seen
The defence will also offer testimony TO
show that on the night Annie Brown
met her death, Norman was not near
her, and did not follow her from the
house in which they both were a few
minutes before she was drowned
When the court convened yesterday
morning the jurors were sworn and AS
sistant District Attorney Taylor briefly
outlined what the Government expected to
prove.
Opening Argument in Case.
He said that on the night of Septem-
Der last, the date on which the woman
met her death, she and the defendant
were at house on Water Street, between
Thirtieth and Thirty-fi first Streets north
west. They quarreled, and it is claimed
that Norman beat her and also threat
ened to kill her with pistol. 1t was
also stated by Mr.. Taylor that the house
in which were 1.-THE Brown woman and
Norman is situated within few feet OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
Soon after the fight between them it
is said that the woman went out into the
back yard and that Norman followed her
A few minutes afterward, it is said the
for help. People, in the neighborhood
made an investigation and discovered the
dead body of the woman in the water
Mr.. Samuel d. Truitt, counsel for the
defence. reserved the right of making an
opening statement for the defendant.
The trial will be resumed this morning.
and the case will in all probability be
submitted to the tu.y this afternoon.

S AMUEL B. GREGORY
IS BXONERATED
Charge of Abducting His
Child Was Not Sustained.
Case Was Tried in Court of Oyer and
Terminer, in Philadelphia-Re-
turns to Washington.

The trial of Samuel B. Gregory. we'll
known resident of this city, who was
charged some time ago by his wife, Mrs.
! Esther VI. Gregory, with kidnapping his
child. was held yesterday in Philadelphia,
! in the Court of Oyer and Terminer. AT
ter hearing the evidence in the case the
| jury retired, and within a few minutes
| rendered verdict of not guilty. acting
upon the charge made by the court.
Mr.. Gregory was accompanied to the
Quaker City by large number of friends.
| who were highly pleased at the decision
| reached by the jury. During the trial
Mr. Gregory was represented by NJ. ].
Colbert and Newton Donaldson, of Wash
ington; Congressman Claude Kitchin, of
North Carolina; ex-Judge James Jay
Gordon, of Philadelphia, and Messrs.
o'Brien and DAILY. of Philadelphia.
Witnesses Not Called.
There were also present score or more
OF witnesses for the defendant, from both
this city and North Carolina. but none of
them was called. Mr.. Gregory returned
to this city early last night.
The child it is said. is with its grand
parents in Crowells, n. C. Mr.. Gregory
resides at 604 Street northeast, while
Mrs. Gregory is residing in Philadelphia
The domestic troubles OF the Gregorys
have been aired at some length in the
local courts. They were begun about
eighteen months ago by Mrs. Gregory.
who filed suit for separate support and
maintenance against her husband. The
hi I
six years old. was made the principal is
sue. During the tendency of the pro-
ceedings the care and possession of the
child was awarded by the courts to Mrs.
Gregory.
Much Feeling Over Case.
A great deal of feeling was manifested
by the parties to the litigation. A mass
of testimony was taken, and the matter
came for final hearing last fall. The tes-
timony offered on behalf of Mrs. Gregory,
however, was insufficient to support the
allegations of nonsupport, and her suit
was dismissed. At that time. by order of
the court, she had possession OF the child,
and soon after the announcement of the
dismissal of her case she left the juris- !
diction and took the child with her.
She removed to Philadelphia where she |
has since resided. Some weeks ago Fred |
die was taken from her home. and she i'm
mediately accused her husband with kid |
mapping him. On the afternoon the child /
was taken away Mrs. Gregory states that !
two men drove up to her home and one |
of them called the child to the carriage I
in which they came.
Freddie was taken hold of by one of |
the men, placed in the carriage. and |
driven away. That is the last, she de- |
clares she saw of her child. One of the !
men who came to her home, Mrs. Greg /
ory states, was her husband. She imme- |
diately caused warrant to be issued for |
his arrest, charging him with abducting |
her child for the purpose of extorting |
money from her.

SIXTEENTH STREET
HEARING SET DOWN
Justice Hagner to Review
Entire Case March 28.
Order Issued Upon Application OF Prop
erty Owners for Confirmation of Ju,y
Awards-Settlement Expected.

Another important step, looking to the
settlement of the Sixteenth Street ex-
tension case, was taken in the District
Court yesterday. by counsel representing
owners of property along the line. Messrs.
Charles C. Cole, Il. Golden Donaldson. B.
+. Leighton, Chaplin Brown, and John
Ridout, on behalf of various owners, and
City Solicitor Duvall on behalf Of the
District Of Columbia appeared before
Justice Hagner and asked for the con-
iirmation of the verdict and award of the
Jury CT appraisers, which was filed On the
21th day of May. 1901.
Justice Cole stated that in all other
condemnation proceedings the District of
Columbia almost invariably moved the
confirmation CT the award without delay,
but that in this case it had not done so
for various reasons. and it was finally
deemed best for counsel representing
property owners to take this move them
selves.
Hearing Set Down for March 2s.
The court directed that an order is
ste that all questions arising out of the
monoa and the exceptions to the verdict
filed by different owners. and by the Com
missicners of the District of Columbia. be
set down for hearing, to be held Friday,
March Is, at 10 a. m.
1t is now believed by those who best
understand the situation that it will be
but short time before the award of the
jury is confirmed and the money paid the
different owners entitled to damages for
the ground condemned fer the extension
of this thoroughfare.
