PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Disfranchised Voters Who Deposited Their Baliots at the Late Election, Ete. Correspondence of The Evening ir. Hyarrsvinze, Dee. 11. Quite a stir has been made in Kent district, this county, since the election. It is alleged that some thirty-five republicans whose names had been stricken from the poll books under | the operation of the new law were informed | that their names werestill on the list and that | | they came to the polls and voted. One case, it | is said, was notorious from the fact that a voter's name had been stricken off and on ap- taken to the circuit court, where Judge oke sustained the ofiicer of registration; y "8 name was found on the poll book on election day and he voted. Suspicion is rife that the books were tampered with, and the im- portant qu now is, who ix the guilty party? Unser the new law the registration of- ficers of the various districts pri books, which must be caact copies of each othe After the last registrats books are to be deposited with the clerk, where they are kept till election day, when one of them is sent to each of election districts throughout the county. In the ease in question the book sent back from the clerk's Ofiice to the election officers did_ not note the names of the thirty-five republic: off by the registrar of that distr charges are made—some that the registrar, Mr. Duvall, sold out to his political foes and some that the books were manipulated while in the eustody of the county clerk. Mr. Duvall, inacard in the Marlborough papers, brands the statement against him as a false~ hood. Certain it is that perties whose names had been stricken from the lists voted, and it islikely thatthe matter will be sifted’ to the bottom and the guilty parties brought to jus- tice.

Bat Little Progress Made in the Ward Trial ‘Today. ‘THE PAXEL EARLY EXHAUSTED AND SIXTY TALES- ‘MEN ORDERED SUMMONED FOR TOMORROW MORNING—THE SCENE IN THE CRIMINAL COURT ‘TODAY—THE ORDER OF CHALLENGES. Chief Justice Bingham stepped up to his seat on the bench in the Criminal Court promptly at 10 o'clock this morning. A bailiff puts glass of water on the desk in front of him as one of the preparations for his day's work. A little stack of law books ‘and several sheets of note Paper and pens and ink were also placed infront of the judge. The bar and the standing room outside of the bar were well filled with spectators. \ Frand K.

THE COURT'S JURORS. ‘When the court opened the business in order was the completion of the jury. At the ad- journment of the court last night there were twelve jurorsin the box, who had been accepted by the court as competent, having, in the opin- ion of the court, formed no such’ opinion re- specting the Ward case as would disqualify them from sitting as jurorson the ease. "These twelve were: Michael Hailinan, Edward For- rest, Geo. E. Johnson, Wm. D. Campbell, John E. Sinclair, James F. Manning, Frank ‘Jung- haus, Thos. B. Carpenter, Geo. W. Simms, Geo. Gibson, Leonard Emmert and Chas. H. Turner. DISCUSSION AS TO CHALLENGES. At the opening of the court this morning there was at once a discussion as to the order to be followed in challenging jurors. ‘The de- fense has a. right to twenty peremptory challenges and the ggvernment _ five. The question discussed was whether the govern- tment had. to exhaust ita challenges before the defense begun theirs, or whether, as District Attorney Hoge suggested, the government should “make one challenge and the defense should then make four before the government took its turn again, Chief Justice Bingham said that he had been informed that the mode suggested by the dis- trict attorney had been at times followed here, but there seemed to have been no general rule. He remarked that. if the governinent’s chal- lenges were exhuusted first he could conceive of a state of things which would be very un- desirable to the government. After some discussion the court said that he thought i ir and proper and in no way injurious to the interests of the defendant to follow the plan proposed by the government. THE PLAN DECIDED UPON. Thus the plan decided upon was that the gov- ernment should open with one challenge and upon the yacaney in the box being filled to turn the jury over to the defense, who would shen have the privilege of making four chal- lenges. ‘The vacancies thus occasioned filled the govermment should have the privilege of exercising one of its unexpended challenges and the defcnse in turn four, and that the chal- 1 proceed alternately in the until the government had exhausted the defense its twenty challenges. ‘ceussion of the order of challenging m hour.

Mr. Cole- man insisted that if the government passed one of its challenges it waived all right to that challenge sub: Judge Bingham held that they w ight of challenge only as to the jurors in the box at the time the govern- es content with as to any new quently came into the box. on wax going on the court me quite crowded. Among the new Senator Voorhece, who sit down rd and shook the hand which Ward held out to him, Hic talked with Ward a little in alow tone as the case proceeded. ‘THE FIRST GOVERNMENT CHALLENGE. It was nearly 11 o'clock when the government announced its first challenge. The object of the challenge was Mr. George Gibson, the printer. Mr. Gibson gathered up his coat and iat and lefi th2 box apparently much pleased to get out of $t. ‘The clerk then drew the name of Charles V. ‘Trott from the jury list to fill the vacancy. Mr. Trott’s opinions were so strong that the court excused him. ‘Andrew J. Cockrell’s name was drawn. Mr. Cockrell's impressions of ths case were such that it would take evidence to remove them. He said he had no bias for or against the de- fendant and he thought he could render ae im- partial a verdict as though he had never heard of the case before. The juror was accepted by the court and Mr. Wilson noted an exception to the ruling of the court. ‘The right of challenge then passed to the de- fense. Mr. Wilson said that they would now waive nges, provided the government said their chal it was content with the jury. ‘This started a diseussior again as to the mode of proceeding, but Judge Bingham declined to e « ruling on any hypothetical case. FIRST CHALLENGE BY THE DEFENSE. Mr. Wilson then used his first challenge against Mr. James F. Manning, who left the box. Geo. G. Donaldson’s name was drawn and he was accepted by the court. ‘The defense then challenged Leonard Em- mert. ‘The regular panel was exhausted when Mr. Donaldaon’s name was drawn and the court di- rected that the names of sixty talesmen be n from the box and summoned by the mar- sl ‘The court cautioned the jurors already ac- cepted by the court that it'was their duty to preserve their minds in the impartial state which had led the court to accept them. He cautioned them not to converse with each other any one concerning the ease, and if any one pel d king to them about it to re- port thet percon to the court. who would be Gealt with asa person attempting. to intluence jurors. ‘The court then at 31:25 a.m, excused the ac- cepted jurors until 10 o'clock tomorrow and adjourned the Ward case until that hour, when it is expected the sixty talesmen drawn by the clerk will appear in court, ges ALEXANDRIA, THE HENRY STREET RAILROAD TRACK. The conference between the city council com- mittee and the railway managers with regard to the occupation of Henry street by the tracks of the Pennsylvania railway has not yet taken place, owing to the illness of one of the railroad managers, “The action of the city council in directing the corporation attorney to suspend action in the courts has st the matter there, and even should the conference take place its results cannot now be returned to the city council until about the middle of January. It may, therefore, be considered certain that the Henry street tracks will remain undisturbed until next spring. KNIGHTS OF PYTRIAS.

Miss Standiford, it appeared, worked in May's tailor shop, next to the drug store in which defendant was employed. She testified that about 9 o'clock Saturday morning she was walking along C street southwest between Ist and 3d strceta when O'Donnell came along on a bicycle. He dismounted and. stepping up to her, said: “If you can meet the tailor out you can meet ‘me out. The tailor owes me morey and unless you compromise the matter I will expose you to the tailor's wife.” ‘O'Donnell was placed upon the stand and vir- tually admitted what Miss Standiford charged, but stated that he had seen the tailor and Miss Standiford hugging and kissing. Judge Miller remarked that he (the defend- ant) had admitted what the young woman said. “But is that insulting longuage,” asked the defendant, ‘when addressed to a prostitute?” ‘This remark angered the judge, who severely remarked: “If you cut your vile capers on the street you can’t in this court, and if you repeat that remark you will be put in the dock.” James T.
