DISTRICTS REPLY
TO TOTTEN'S SUIT
Jurisdiction of Local Court
Is Questioned.

The Jurisdiction of the District Supreme
Court in the suit brought by Howe Tot
ten for an Injunction to prevent the pris-
oIIcrs at the OCcoquan wOrkhouse from
being at large unguarded and working
on the roads is denied in the answer to
the suit filed yesterday by the Commits
siouers and w. II. Whitaker, superin-
tendent of the institution. The jurisdic
tiOr is denied on the ground that the
workhouse is in Virginia. being outside
the territorial limits of the local court.
The Commissioners claim they have new
er received a complaint from any resi-
dent in the vicinity of the workhouse
except from Howe Totten. Supt Whit
taker denies that prisoners are allowed
TO be at large unguarded. and declares
that no injury has resulted to the neigh
borhood by reason of the establishment
OF the workhouse. He says ne does not
know of a single case of depreciation by
any of the prisoners. and that of. the
1850 men who have been discharged many
have secured employment in the neigh
borhood
Mr. Totten alleges that residents of
OCcoquan and vicinity are constantly ter
rCriZed by the presence of the COnviCts,
and that he has been compelled. to avoid
bodily injury. to abandon his home, and
live elsewhere. He has entered suit
against the District for $4,000, on the
ground that the value of his property
has deprecated
The suit will be heard before Justice
Gould to-day. Attorneys \. S. Worthing-
ton and Charles l. Frailey appear for

represented by Corporation Counsel f.

Counsel James Francis Smith.

C"pt those which simply say, If not in

if the merger may be effected without
embarrassment to either body have been
TTt in the noncommittal class. Thus far

Acts of Defendants.
The acts of the defendants complained
of as constituting such malfeasance in

to Mr.. Hammond's answer, the acts Of
the defendant as director of the Gen.

all of the board of directors. of which but
two Of the voting trustees were members
and of which these constituted less than
a majority. 1t is claimed that no bill

Mr.. Hammond says the action COM
