ATTORNEY DENOUNCES
OCCOQUAN CONDITIONS
Transfer Of Prisoners from District March Is Ap
proved in Court Order Signed by Justice
Anderson Yesterday

Since Attorney Matthew E. o'Brien se-
cured writs of habeas corpus for the re-
lease of two prisoners confined at occo-
guam, Corporation Counsel Thomas and
the Commissioners have steadfastly
maintained that no prisoners had been
removed except by lawful authority. and
that the habeas corpus would fail.
Yesterday morning, in the District Su-
preme Court, F. H. Stephens. of the cor
poration counsel's ONCE, appeared before
Justice Anderson and admitted that I'm
less he could have ratified the action of
the District Commissioners all prisoners
at Occoquan were liable to be freed.
When the hearing was called upon the
petitions Of Edgar Fisk and William Alex
ander, in the United States Court for
the Eastern district Of Virginia, Monday
last, Mr. o'Brien raised the question that
the act OF Congress authorizing transfer
Of prisoners had not, been compiled with.
He held that the Supreme Court of the
District had not approved the transfers.
The case was continued to this morning
to have that point settled.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Stephens ap-
peared before Justice Anderson and re-
quested him TO sign an order approving
the transfer Of a hundred prisoners on
March 25 Mr.. o'Brien was notified. and

showed that the defendant deliberately
planned the death of his brother-in-law
the night before the tragedy, and carried
out this design in the morning.
The defense was represented In the ar
guments by three attorneys who pressed
forward the insanity plea They reviewed
at length the circumstances OF the crime
and declared they showed It was the
work Of an unbalanced mind.
vondermiller last night showed that the
strain is telling on him. He is no longer
alert aud debonair. For the past three
days he has seemed on the verge OF
collapse. Little doubt is entertained that
the jury win be ready with its verdict

The Washington herald., 1911-07-06

he protested against the issuance Of the
order. saying that before the court al
lowed any prisoners to be transferred to
Occoquan, II should know how the prison
ers were treated there and thelndignities
and pnnisnments that they are said to be
subjected to. He produced a card on
which were list Of questions which each
prisoner was required to answer at the
occoquan institution. The questions, Mr..
o'Brien alleged. are indecent, and that on
refusal to answer these questions pris-
oners were punished.
Judge Anderson said that the compelling
of prisoners to answer some of the ques-
tions was an outrage, and that II brought
to the attention of the court IN a proper
proceeding would be stopped. but he said
he felt that he must sign the order and
allow its validity to be tried out In the
'habeas corpus proceedings In Virginia.
Mr.. O'Brien too exception to the sign
ing Of the order, and noted an appeal.
He contends that the validity of the law
need not be argued, as the law has not
been complied with.
The signing OF the order yesterday,
three months after the removal of the
prisoners, he contends, does not help the
Districts case. He further contends that
even had the order been signed before
the removal the law is unconstitutional.

DOUBLE TRACKS URGED.

Better Street Railway Facilities.
Urging the construction of double
tracks for the lines running be-
tween their suburb and Anacostia, the
Public Improvement Association Of Con-
gress Heights held a meeting last night
in which wide variety of civic affairs
was discussed.
It was stated that the Washington
Railway and Electric Company is willing
to double track the line in question, but
objected to paving the street for three
feet beyond the tracks. as Engineer Com
missioner Judson has required them to
do. Only two feet of paving are re-
quired by law. according to the speakers,
and the cost OF the additional foot would
be $500. an expense whSch the railroad
company does not desire to incur.
The purchase OF the Wilson tract Of
100 acres for public park was consid-
cred, as was also an addition to the
present school building. which is now
greatly overcrowded.

beautiful dress she had ever seen

Jets twinkling on 1t In u-cXpected

this. She he'd her breath peering for

In the face of this, the $29 dress was
