.BELYA A. LOCKWOOD
MUST. GIVE UP HOME
Court So Decides, But With
holds Eiectment Order Owing
( to Physical Condition.

Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood. one-time
nominee for President and dean of the
women lawyers OF Washington, must
surrender possession Of the premises at
Gla F street northwest, where she las
had her office and home for many years.
Such was the decision Of Justice An
Gerson, of the District Supreme Court
today in the suit brought by the New
England Casualty Company to eject the
ged woman, although the court de-
layed the signing Of the writ because
OF Mrs. Lockwood's recent injury and
: he uncertainty Of her present physical
condition. The attorneys in the case
we're directed to make an inquiry re-
garding the condition Of Mrs. Lockwood
and report on Monday.
"Out OF respect to the age and dis
ability of Mrs. Lockwood, ] will sign
no order today, but the plaintiff Is
clearly entitled to possession" said Jus
tice Anderson.
The litigation resulting In the eject
ment decision arose from the fact that
the casualty company wes surety on an
appeal bond for Mrs. Lockwood in a
case which was decided against her by
'he upper courts. To satisfy the claim
Of the company the property WAS bought
at a sale, but Mrs. Lockwood has re-
n sted giving possession OF the premises.
Friends made an unsuccessful effort to
raise funds to meet the demands Of the
casualty company.

Mr.. Covington was asked to come to
committee meeting today. When
he arrived he found Chairman ADAM

seated about just as though a bill were
to be considered. Mr.. Covington was
tnen informed of the object of the

Congressman Sims said he had but
one regret that Mr.. Covington is to go
on the District bench. he confidently
expected to see Maryland sent Mr. Gov,

ulated the District, however, upon the
