JURORS IN MURDER CASE
Permitted TO GO HOME
Justice Wright Establishes Prece-
dent for District Of Co.
lumbia Courts.

Believing that the custom heretofore
prevailing in this jurisdiction of locking
up jurors in ordinary murder cases is an
tiquated and works hardship on the
jury, Justice Wright, in Criminal Court
No. 1, set a precedent by allowing the
jurors to separate yesterday at the ad-
journment of the case of James Ander-
son, cblored, charged with the death Of
Virginia Johnson last summer.
The court strongly admonished the
jurors not to speak to any one concern
ing the trial and not to permit any one
to address them in reference to the case.
If any one persisted in an attempt to
speak to any juror concerning the mat
ter on trial the court told the jurors to
report the matter at once to the court.
The jurors were also told not to read
newspaper reports of the trial.
''The matter Of keeping the jury to-
gether," said Justice Wright today, us
in the discretion Of the court, and when
ever circumstances would seem to war
rant restraining the jury from mingling
with the public ! should not hesitate to
do SO. In the ordinary case. however, l
think it hardship to lock up active
of the early closing hour Of the court
l had made up my mind to take this
action. and this is the first case since
reaching that determination. l followed
this custom when on the bench in Ohio
and It was sustained by the supreme
court of that state. and has since be-
come incorporated into the Ohio law"

Court Of Inquiry Appointed.

Secretary Meyer has appointed a naval
court Of inquiry to ascertain the cause
and fix the responsibility for the accident
in the fireroom Of the u. S. s. DelawaIe c,
which caused the death of nine men. The
court consists of the following-named Of
ficers: Capt. Nathaniel r. Usher. COM
manding the battleship Michigan: Capt.

building Company. and Lieut. Commander
Stanford E. Moses Of the Norfolk navy
yard.
The court OF inquiry appointed by the
Secretary will supplement the work of
the board Of investigation appointed by
Capt. Cove of the Delaware, Immediately
after the accident. The court of inquiry
will go deeper into the subject of the
causes Of the accident
1t is known at the Navy Department
only that the accident was caused by the
blowing out Of three backheaders Of a
boiler. The >backheader constitutes the
junctures of the tubes with the boiler
Such an accident as occurred on the
Delaware is very unusual in the navy.
In fact. some officers express the belief
that 1t is the only one on record.

VICTIMS OF EXPLOSION
NOW NUMBER NINE
Eugene Phillips, Fireman on
the BattIeship Delaware,
Dies From His Injuries.

NORFOLK, Va, January 19.-Eugene
Phillips, the fireman on the battleship
Delaware who was SO badly injured IN
the boiler explosion on that ship Tues
day, died about 1880 o'clock this morn
ing at the Naval Hospital. Phillips,
who was a negro, was resident of
Washington, where his mother lives at
3O7 / street northwest.
The death of Phillips makes the ninth
victim claimed by the explosion.
1t is learned unOfficially that practical
ly every tube in boiler No. on the bat
tleship was blown out by the explosion,
and that the nine men were caught di-
rectly under the big steam holder and
literally boiled to death before they could
escape through the tiny doors leading
into the other firerOoms. Several other
men are said to have been slightly burn
ed endeavoring to get into the tireroom
where the explosion occurred, but were
driven back by the scalding steam.
1t was said that had the accident oc-
CURED about an hour sooner, or at noon,
eighteen instead Of nine men would in
all probability have been killed The
fire crews are changed every four hours,
according to unofficial information, and
both crews usually remain in the room
ten or fifteen miutes after the hour on
which they change shifts, in order to
compare reports, etc.

Exactly an hour later Ely mounted his

dropped with a gentle dip toward the
ocean. and then scared rapidly over the
ships in the harbor In the direction of
the aviation field. At an altitude Of
1000 feet he circled above San Fran
cisco and headed for the field. where he
landed without mishap at 1918 o'clock.
The officials on the field knew he was
coming. because they had been advised
OF the start by the wireless. AS he
stepped from the aeroplane a company

SAN FRANCISCO, January 19-Eugene
Ely, the Curtis aviator. for the first time
in the history OF aviation. brilliantly
demonstrated yesterday that an aero
plane can land successfully on the deck
Of a warship. and for the second time
proved that an aviator can easily take
flight from vessel at sea-

teen miles through the haze. wingfng his

of warships assembled in the bay. AS a
climax he dropped on the deck OF the
cruiser Pennsylvania as lightly as bird.
and came to a stop without injuring the
most delicate part Of his aircraft. An
hour later. having lunched with the OFF,
GERS Of the ship. he sprang into his craft
again and sailed back to the aviation field
as easily as a man takes spin In his
automobile.
Ely's flight is considered one Of the
demonstrate the practical side OF the
aeroplane. At Hampton roads, by sail
ing from the deck OF the cruiser Birmtng-
ham. the same aviator several months
ago demonstrated that an aeroplane could
rise from the deck of warship. but
there was considerable doubt as to the
ability of the flying machine to Land on
the deck of a vessel.
The difficulties are many, on account
of the Scant space available for bringing
to a stop the rushing craft which swoops
out of the air at the rate Of forty miles
an hour.
Revelation to Nations.
Ely's success will be a revelation to
the great military powers Of the world.
1t means that the aeroplane is q new ele-
ment in naval warfare which will have
to be reckoned with seriously.

local promoters Of the aero smeet Ely

Testing his motor and finding that 1t
worked with perfect precision, Ely left
the ground at the aviation field exactly
at 1O:45 o'clock in the morning. After
few trial circles around the field the
aviator waved signal to the watchers
below that he was off for the wars,hip.
Heading northwest, he swept swiftly over
the picturesque San Bruno hills and dis

1.-THE news of the death of the Bishop
Of Maryland, while not unexpected, will
bring a sense Of deep personal loss to
many in Washington, especially to those
members of Epiphany Church, of which
he was so long rector before his elevation
to the episcopate,'' said the Bishop of
Washington today. in commenting on the
death OF Bishop Pa Ht.
From 1885 until the date of the crea-
tfon Of the diocese of Washington he
held jurisdiction here. and has always
had q warm place in our affection, and
won our admiration for his distinguished
abilities as an executive and leader. He
was considered by his brother bishops

authority in canon law, and one whose
advice was sought and highly valued in

feet wide, had been constructed over the

MYSTERIOUS CASE
Rich Vermont Woman Shows
No Emotion When Verdict of
Manslaughter Is Returned.

oUILDIALL. VT. May ls.-Hardly
. trace Of emotion crossed the face OF
Mrs. Florence NJ. Dodge. tho wealthy
woman Of L~unenburg. when in the Es-
sex County Court House here to-day
she heard from the lips of the fore
man Of the Jury that she had been
found guilty Of nanslaughter in con-
nsctton with the death OF william
Heath. . painter OF Dalton. N. IT,. who
was shot on Sept. II last while at
work In Mrs. Dodgs's home at Lunen-
burg.
Attired in black. Mrs. Dodge stood
impassive Al the verdict was returned.
Then she sank back in her seat between
her daughter. Mrs. Ida Bell. who has
been her constant companion during
the trial. and one OF her attorneys,
Harry Blodgett.
The imposing ~ sentence In the case
Esferred until next Monday in or
der to allow Mrs. Dodge's counsel to
study the exceptions noted by them
during the two weeks h a the trial has
been In progress. Mrs, Dodge. in the
meantime. was remarked in the us
tody of the sheriff.
Mrs. Dodge. who is the widow Of J.
Marshall Dodge of %Lunenburg, late High
Sheriff of Essex County. was put on
trial on May I. The shooting of Heath
was mysterious. and the evidence was
entirely circumstantial. No one except
Mrs. Dodge and Heath were In the
house when the killing occurred. and no
motive for the tragedy was set forth
b the State.
