Hyatt HMansion | Tenants
Get Temporary Writ
To Prevent Closing

Court action by tenants of the
Hyatt Mansion has temporarily
halted proceedings by Hyattsville
officials to close the three-story
building.
The latest step in the legal fight
to oust the more than 80 occupants
of the house at 5000 Rhode Island
avenue, Hyattsville, occurred Fri
day when a temporary injunction
against the city officials was granted
in the Prince Georges County Cir
cult Court, Upper Marlboro.
Attorney John N. Torvestad of
Colmar Manor filed a petition for
the injunction on behalf of Mrs.
Grace F. Baer, lessee of the prop
erty, and other tenants.
AS result of the writ, hearing
scheduled tomorrow in Hyattsville
Police. Court against Mrs. Baer and
two of the subtenants, r. P. Miller
and Clyde Gibson, will be post
poned until after hearing in the
Circuit Court March II.
The three residents of the prop
erty were to, face the court on
charges of Yplating a city ordinance,
which the tenants claim is ''uncon-
stitutional. The ordinance, adopted
by the council last October, was
aimed at the Hyatt Mansion and
the Octagon House.. another old
structure which already has been
closed.
The temporary injunction, signed
by Judge John B. Gray, jr., named
the Hyattsville mayor and city coun-
Gil and Police Chief Howard H.
Holmes. The officials were directed
to show by Saturday why the per-
manent injunction should not be
granted.
The mansion, which was termed
a fire hazard by the council, has
