IN IN lBERj]L,I]uINJUNCTION lis REFUSED

Case of Thos. W. Nugent and Other!
Against Chester Cleveland ant
Others for Using Pitt Street, Be
tween King and Prince, Disposed of
The case of Thomas W. Nugent and
others Chester Cleveland and others
came up today in the Circuit Court
for the city. The plaintiffs had ask
ed for an order restraining the de-
PENDANTS from using Pitt street, from
King to Prince, as place from which
automobiles leave in maintaining ser
vice between Alexandria and Camp
Humphreys. 1t was alleged that the
parking of automobiles upon the
square caused noisy proceedings in
the neighborhood, that often gambling
and the drinking of liquor was in evil
dence, rendering conditions unsatis-
factory to persons residing on the
square. Robinson Moncure represent
ed the plaintiffs, and Mesrs. Gardner
L. Boothe and R. B. Washington the
defendants.
After hearing the evidence in the
case, Judge Samuel G. Brent refused
to grant an injunction, stating that
willie he sympathized with the parties
who made the complaint, it was nee
esary for the parties against whom
the complaint had been urged to have
some point in the city from which
conveyances could depart. He fur
ther said that when the jitneys made
the neighborhood in which he resides,
a "Charing Cross" complaint was
made, as would be the case no mat
ter where they are located. As to
the alleged noise sometimes occasicnd
by the ckauffeurs and others, the po-
lice coul.l and doubtless would see
that order is observed.
