Appear Before Judge
Mullowny.

In sentencing Samuel Thomas, Will
liam Brooks, and Robert Johnson TO the
workhouse for terms aggregating fifteen
months, Judge Mullowny, in the United

morning took another step in ridding
Georgetown of one of the worst gangs
of negro thieves which has invested that
section of the city for several years.
About three months ago reports
reached headquarters concerning a
large number of petty larcenCies which
were taking place on the north side of
Rock creek. Investigation proved that
these robberies were all the work of
one gang, composed of nine members,
and the police started in at once to
round up the component parts of the
gang.
Four of the men were convicted in the
Police Court about three weeks ago and
are now serving jail sentences.
Thomas and Brooks were given SEN
tences of six months each for their
part in the robbery, while Johnson re-
.:eived three months.
1t was also stated today that the police
are on the lookout for Benjamin Morris
and another negro who are supposed to
have formed the rest of the gang.

Prisoners.

until Monday.

on the jury as there was no doubt
that he was biased.
The fight today resolved itself into
series of causes Cor clashes, one
over Venireman Nelson and another
when the defense raised strenuous
objections to the action of the prose-
cution in bringing in a number of its
witnesses to whom the two Mcnamara
brothers were pointed out.

well will have to excuse him fol
cause. but if the council does not dC
so, the defense will exercise its right
of peremptory challenge privilege.

"In a nutshell, our contention i!
that the defendants are not entitled t,
a safe jury, but is entitled only to al
impartial one.'
He argued that no intelligent MAJ
