as being n of the many in the
community and that Wilson was
afraid of his life being taken at
the hands of a man who had re-
turned to the apartment for the
purpose of getting his wife out
at "any cost"
Judge Lester L. Cecil charged
the jury that the two choices in
their deliberation were either
murder in the second-dregee or
first-degree manslaughter and to
consider all the facts in the case
with caution, especially the ele-
ment of self-defense and to con-
slider if Wilson had a chance to
retreat and to refrain from shoot
ing the victim.
Wilson was removed to the
County Jail following the ver-
dict but was later releas I'd on
bond pending the sentence lat
er.
Eikenbary told The Daily Ex-
press, it was the wish of Wilson
to choose the second-degree charge
instead of manslaughter, AL
though the second-degree was the
"big gamble" since it carried a
life in prison penalty, while the
lessor conviction is a 100 year
penalty. Wilson will be eligible
for parole in II months on good
behavior.

John Adams. who formed a syn
dictate with Robert Morris of Phil
adelphia and John Nicholson to
speculate in the real estate of the
new Federal City. The syndicate
obtained title to 1924 lots without
advancing much cash, and the
three went to debtors prison in
Philadelphia when the venture
failed.
Washington has become known
as such a real estate bonanza that
it is hard to believe how tough
the going was in the early days.

eight years before the Govern
ment moved here, brought less
than he had paid for it when 1t
was sold about 20 years later.
At any rate Greenleaf's specu-
lation led to the building of sew

city at Buzzards Point, which soon
became known as Greenleaf Point.

The Island" because at one time
it was cut off from the rest of
Washington by canals. The
canals were part of the plan of
L'Enfant, who designed a city
not only of beautiful streets but
of beautiful waterways.
The original canal was thought
to be merely a matter of digging
a ditch to connect the two streams
which skirted Capitol Hill. Goose
Greek, the Tiber as it was gran
diloquently called, flowed from
north of the Capitol and turned
west below it to meander through
