WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.
ALEXANDRIA, VA, APRIL IA.

That c. Jones Rixey, the indicted
banker, must be brought to this city
bv April II for examination as to his
mental and physical qualifications, Is
the substance Of the ultimatum laid
down bv Commonwealth's Attorney
Samuel G. Brent to James r. and Harry
B. Cation, Rixey's attorneys. Failing to
produce him, Mr.. Brent states that he
will make immediate application to Gov
ernor Mann, of Virginia. for requisi-
ton papers, compelling the bankers ap-
pearance. ..
At a conference held in corporation
court, earlier in the week, between
Judge Barley and the attorneys for
the defense, the latter agreed to pro-
duce Rixey at any time set by the
court, with the proviso that the court
would assume the responsibility for
any serious consequences that might
result to Rixey's physical condition, con-
sequent upon this production. At that
time Judge Barley set next Monday.
April II, as the date on which the mat
ter would be gone into.
According to Mr.. Brent, It is not his
purpose to have Rixey brought here for
trial at once. 1t being his desire that
Rixey be confined in custody in some
suitable place, preferably Alexandria
Hospital, or even some Washington hos
pital, where he could be placed under
proper observation, where he should re-
main until he is in proper condition for
trial.
