in a bathroom for nearly two

Young Henley's hostage, John
Coffey, was unhurt in the gun
battle in the home of Edward E.
Coffey, where Henley once lived
as a State ward.
The teen-ager, described as
"incorrigible' by a welfare Off

father. Police were unable to
explain why he then held the
younger Coffey captive.

u. 5. Studying
Seizure Ruling

Government attorneys are
studying today what their next
move should be after the Court
of Appeals set aside a jury
award for property taken for
the Southwest redevelopment.
The case involved a $1,000
award to Miss Mayme j. Riley
for her home at 1923 Delaware
avenue S.W. The Redevelop-
ment Land Agency took it I'M
der condemnation proceedings
for the Area B development.
The Court of Appeals, in a
81 decision, set aside the sward
and ordered a new trial. It
pointed out that the jury award
was $4,000 less that the purchase
price OF the home plus the cost
of improvements. 1t held that
the trial judge should, ct least

involved. A considerable part Of
the property is held by the Dis
trict and Federal Governments.
The land agency's position on
the Riley case was this: Granted
that Miss Riley had more in
vested in the property than the
appraisers figure and the jury
award. it was still felt that the
award represented a fair value.
If a property holder made an
unfortunate deal in buying prop
erty the land agency should not
be made to bail out the owner.
Areas B and C take in prac-
tically all the Southwest area.

A4OCl IllC oI1lOkC ClCdICu WHICH
1854. as part of the Southwest
redevelopment plan, Miss Riley
found herself without home,
and with a jury award of $4,000
less than the purchase price plus
improvements on the house.
She still owed $8,902 on the
house when it was seized, $1,000
more than the jury award.
In desperation, she gave up
her job last summer to get pen
sion benefits coming to her to
pay off the balance on the $500
gas heater she had added.
Cost $4,000
Miss Riley, who is colored,
bought her home in 1851 for So
$50 on a 30-year mortgage. She
spent 1887 on Improvements,
making the total cost $4,000.
I'm grateful for the decision, 4"
3.-year-old Miss Riley said. 81
hope the other people in town
will get what's due them. 1t
seems to me the Government
wanted something for nothing. "
She said she had heard talk
of the redevelopment program
affecting the area, but had been
treasured about it. Friends re-
called that there had been talk
of such a project for 80 years
but nothing had happened so
far.
Then, three years after she
moved in, the blow fell with the
condemnation order. Her most
immediate problem was the gas
heating plant, which had been
installed the latter part of 1852.
According to her attorney. John
j. Spriggs, who has handled her
case without fees ever since she
came to the Legal Air Bureau for
assistance, she had the heater
removed at the Governments
request.
Paying for Storage
Il paid for the moving, and
am paying storage on it," Miss
Riley said. II owed the Federal
Housing Administration the $500.
They waited a year, but finally
they wouldn't wait any longer"
There seemed only one solu-
ton. To get her pension money
to pay her debts, she resigned
from the Civil Service Commits
sion last August. She had worked
there for IL years as a file clerk
and searcher, and had perma-
nent status.
She and her family now live
in an apartment at 1109 Fourth
street Sc. which the redevelop-
ment agency helped them find.
After a bout with asthma. she
has been working as a domestic,

her experience fits her. She
received her final check for I'M
employment compensation this
week.
After calling the court every
Thursday for the last month to
see if an opinion had been given,
she didn't call yesterday because
she was working. She didn't
learn Of the decision until she
returned home in the. evening.
Now, it's a matter of wait
and See." But Miss Riley is
sure Of one thing.
II wish I'd never bought a
house." she said.
