proposal to sell lots 2 and in square 65:',
between South Capitol and 1st and N and
streets southwest. All proposals were re-
jected and lots and in the same square
bought at private sale.
LAS these lots" wrote Mr.. Nash, "are of
the same block upon the same street front,
and would ordinarily be considered 20 to 20
per cent less valuable than those l offered
(being a corner), may | be informed why
my offer was refused and lots less desir-
able bought at price Of 1 remember right
about 80 per cent higher than my offer?'
Mr.. NaShs complaint was investigated by
DR.. Tindall, secretary to the board of Com
m.ssioners, and he will be informed in ac-
cOrdance Herewith by a letter prepared by
DIR. Tindall, in which he says:
referring to your communication of the
10th instant, relative to the methcd of pur-

reply that neither in your case nor in any
other instance, when the Commissioner s
asked for offers to sell to the District sites
for school buildings, did they in terms. or

learn where they might obtain the most
advantageous property and the price they

Their object in asking sea led proposals

many cases none of the pieces of property
mentioned in the sealed proposals was suit

With respect to the, specific case you

DISMISSED FROM CUSTODY.
Strangers Under Arrest Regarded as
Guiltless of Crime Charged.

The charge of grand larceny against
Thomas p. Doyle and John McNeir was
nolle pressed by Prosecuting Attorney
Given of the United States branch of the
Police Court today, and the men, who have
been in custody since Saturday night were
released. They were arrested Saturday
night by Detectives Helan, Warren and
Burrows, and diamonds worth about $500
were found in their possession. Thinking
that the men had been connected with the
robbery of Lewis Breitinger's jewelry store
on North 9th street, Philadelphia, several
days go, the police notified the authorities
of that city of their arrest
Mr.. Breitinger came here Sunday after
noon, and on seeing the diamonds declared
that they belonged to him, but explained
that they had been put in other mountings.
He produced a diamond stud which he
claimed mate to one found in the
possession of the men. The stones were
compared and the police found that the
one brought by the jeweler was nearly
twice as heavy as that found on the men.
Doyle explained to the police that the
jewelry belonged to his wife, who was in
New York. She was sent for. and arrived
here in company with McNeir's wife, and
they were questioned by the detectives be-
fore thy had a chance to their hus-
bands. who were in Jail. The ladies told
the same story which the men under arrest
had related to the police.
The accused men retained Attorney Albert
Sillers as their counsel and the case was
called in court yesterday. but was post
poned. The facts We're rehearsed before
Prosecutor Given today, and he decided
that the men had been falsely accused. and
directed that they should be released from
custody.
The Philadelphia jeweler still claimed the
property, and shortly after noon appeared
before Justice OF the Peace O'Neil and ask
ed for a writ of replevin, which was issued.
The matter will be heard before the justice
of the peace tomorrow afternoon.
