NEW TRUSTEES ASKED FOR.
Georgetown Property Owners Desire a
Change Made.

Proceedings were instituted in equity
we'll, John H Magruder, Jefferson
B. Cralle, and eight other persons,
shareholders in syndicate own
ing interest in property on the river
front in Georgetown, against Allan C.
Clark, Augustus Burgdorf, and William
Mayse, as trustees, and others interested
in said property. for the purpose of hav-
ing new trustees appointed to execute the
trusts vested and to require the trustees
to render an accounting of the moneys re-
ceived by them
1t is alleged that in February, 1892, the
defendants Clark, Burgdorf, and Mayse
took title to said property as trustees for
the twenty contributors mentioned in the
deed conveying the property to them, each
of whom paid in $1,000. The price of the
property was s56,049, each of said con-
trbutors receiving a certificate from the
trustees showing his interest in the prop
erty.
1t is charged that the trustees have
neglected their duty. and that they have
not rendered proper accounts of their
trust; that defendant Mayse left the city
and is unable to perform the duties i'm
posed upon him; that for some years de-
PENDANT Burgdorf managed the property,
ard that defendant Clark has never given
the matter any attention.
The bill asks that new trustees be ap-
pointed to execute the trusts created. and
that the present trustees be required to
render an account in court for all the
they have received, showing the
receipts and expenditures thereof. Attor-
neys Jefferson B. Cralle and Wharton E.

Barnard. The Government is represent
ed by Assistant District Attorney Thomas
c. Taylor and the defendant by Attor-
neys Sellhausen and Sullivan.
The trouble which resulted in the death
Of Ward, according to the testimony.
arose over the purchase of pair of old
shoes. 1t appears that Edelin, had offered
a boy % cents for the shoes and that
Ward raised the bid a nickel and received
the goods. This enraged Edelin,, it is
said. and he commenced to abuse Ward,
who, it was stated was about sixtyfive
years old, while Edelin, is strapping
young man of thirty-five years.
Brick Did the Damage.
1t was stated that Ward picked up a
piece of brick, but did not make any
hostile movement Edelin, then, it was
testified, also picked up a brick and struck
Ward on the side of his head. The lat
ter fell to the ground unconscious and
was removed to the Emergency Hospital
for treatment. The mans injuries were
such that he died without recovering con-
seriousness.
When tie Government closed its side
of the case several witnesses were called
who testified to the good reputation of the
defendant for peace and good order.
The defendant will testify in his own
behalf this morning.

most wonderful and mysterious manner.

the ball, upon the perfectly level table,

Finally it settles down on one of the

being made the owner of the lot in ques

As to the substitute, Mr. Spooner said
