had been shot through the heart. A
32-calibre revolver was found in the
corner OF the room with all chambers
empty. Distel told Lieutenant of De

the United States against tract OF
land known as Belvoir, or the White
House tract, consisting OF fifteen
hundred acres, located in Fairfax
county, below this city, which the
government desires as site for a

afternoon, were not concluded until
about one O'Clock today, when the case

b. Smithers as foreman and handed in
their verdict assessing the value OF the
property at $40, 900, or $2s per acre.
The government had agreed to pay
$33, 900, or $22 per acre for the land.
Upon the return of the verdict the gov

ground that the appraisenhent had been
placed at too high figure. Judge
Nicol, for his clients, said that while he
thought higher figure should have
been named, he accepted the verdict.
Mr.. HiIIyer moved to set aside the
verdict because of the demonstrations
atty OF the proceedings.
Judge Waddill overruled all the mo-
tons and entered an order confirming
the verdict OF the jury. Exceptions
