ARGUES FOR NEW TRIAL
ALLEGED ERROR I'm CONvIC.
TON OF JOHN C. DAVIS.
Government Failed to Elect on
Which Count It Would Try
Him-Jury Didn't Specify.

Arguments for a new trial were made
today before Justice Stafford in behalf
of John c.. Davis, the local lawyer. con-
victed May IS of securing more than $500.
GOO from investors in this city and Alex
andria. Justice Stafford will announce
next Friday his decision on the motion.
Attorney Henry E. Davis for the pris-
oner argued that new trial must be
granted, because of the inconsistency OF
the verdict. In that Davis was convicted
respecting the same transactions of both
embezzlement and false pretenses.
The indictment was drawn to cover
both Offenses, and the United States at
torney declined to elect on which counts
he would ask for a conviction. and the
Jury instead OF selecting the counts re-
turned a general verdict on all.
United States Attorney Wilson and As
sistant United States Attorney Proctor
urged the court TO pronounce sentence on
the embezZlement counts on the theory
that the false pretenses counts of the in
dictment are invalida and therefore the
verdict respecting them has no force or
effect.
Mr.. Davis urged that under the en-
beZzlement charge the defendant may
be sentenced to the penitentiary for
ten years and to pay a fine Of $1,000,
posed on the false pretenses charge Is
three years. Mr.. Davis characterized
as mOnstrous any proposition on the
part Of the government to discontinue
the counts on which a mild sentence
might be pronounced, and leave stand
ing the counts carrying the extreme
penalty.

acterized the assault upon the Jail as
"savoring too strongly of the Browns
willie affair." and that Capt T. n. Horn,
in command Of the Sd Field Artillery,
would make an investigation.
The men were lined up and questioned
by Capt. Horn Immediately before noon
mess call. The investigation was still in
progress this afternoon.
How Scott Got Hurt.
The affair which provoked this morn
ing's attempted lynching occurred on a
suburban trolley car Of the Falls Church
line on the night of July 4. Two civilian
passengers, one white and one a negro,
were engaged in a dispute as to the rela-
tive merits Of Jeffries and Johnson. When
words provoked blows the negro drew q
razor.
Private Scott Of Battery D, Sd Field
Artillery. detailed as a telegraph operator
at Fort Myer. saw the CLEAN of the blade
in time to receive a slashing thrust, and
the sharp edge of the razor ripped open
his abdomen.
The negro and several companions
jumped from the car and made their es-
cape. The injured man was made as COM
Portable as possible on the floor of the
car while the motorman put on high
speed to reach the hospital at Fort Myer.
Subsequently Sheriff Palmer arrested
Robert Jackson on the charge OF making
the assault on Scott Six other negroes
were taken into custody in the same case
on charges Of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct.
Scott was badly wounded. Peritonitis
has developed, SO that the surgeons fear
he may not live through another night.
The seven negroes were to have been
arraigned before Justice Lewis Dalbert
| in Alexandria county court this morn
ling. Judge Dalbert, however, ordered
a postponement Of the preliminary
hearing until next Tuesday morning at
| o o'clock He continued the hearing
because one of the attorneys repre-
senting Jackson was unable to be pres
ent this morning.
All seven negroes are in the county
iail on Fort Myer Heights. The au-
tborities have refused to accept bail for
them.
Announcement was made this afternoon
by Commonwealth Attorney Crandal
Mackey that Judge ]. B. T. Thornton has
decided to convene a special term of
court. so that the trial of Jackson and
the other negroes may be expedited.
So seriously did Col. Gerard regard the
attempted lynching of Jackson that MIR.
Mackey said he had given notice of his
intention to have a patrol of soldiers on
guard at the jail after shutdown tonight
and on any following evenings in which
further danger is feared.
Mr. Mackey is particularly insistent
that all offenders be punished. both the
negroes who participated In the assault
and the soldiers whose purpose. II con-
summated, would have put a blot upon
a law-abiding community.
