Runaway Accident and Uther Local Notes. There was a runaway yesterday after- noon, in which two people were injured, though, fortunately, neither was #erlously hurt. The victims were Mr. and Mrs. Jules Demonet of 1900 H street northwest, who were out driving in a horse and buggy. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon the horse became frightened at 28th and U streets and ran away. The brute dashed down the hill, and at 28th and Q streets Mr. Demonet was thrown from the buggy. Though he landed cn the ground with con- siderable force he was only injured to the extent of a slight cut on the aead and a general sheking up ef the system. Meanwhile the horse kept on his wild run, Mrs. Demonet holding the reins and endeavoring to stop the beast, but to no avail. At 28th and M streets the horse attempted to make a short turn and upset the wagon, throwing Mrs. Demonet out and landing her near the iron fence of the fountain at this point. She was picked up by Policeman Connors and carried to the residence of Mr. Frank Buckley, at “805 M street. Drs. Louis and James Mac- kall and Dr. Mayfield were summoned and relieved the injuries of the lady. They pronounced her wounds very painful, though not necessarily dangerous. Later in the evening she was removed to her home. Real Estate. Julia A. Memmert, Loulsa S. Wagner and others have deeded to Emelia B. Miller parts of lots 24 and 25, in Hopkins’ subdi- vision of square 111. Julia A. Memmert has transferred to Louisa S. Wagner an undivided one-half interest in part of lot 36 of square 1232.

The ‘same and others have transferred to the same parties part of lot square 1232; east part of lot 149, square 1235, and east part of lot 1, square 1208.

Judge Bradley this morning disposed of the applicaiion of Michael Burke for re- lease from the workhouse, where he is serving a sentence for second offense of selling Hauor without a license. The jus- tice denied the man’s petition, holding that the sentence, while an erroneous one, is, nevertheless, valid. Burke, as heretofore stated in The Star, was convicted in the Police Court last month. The information filed against him there charged him with a second violation, and Judge Kimball senierced him under a first offense, making the penalty $300 or 120 days in the workhouse in default. He falied to pay and went down. Yesterday his attorney, Mr. M. M. Holland, filed a petition for his release from the work- house on habeas corpus proceedings, claim- ing that Burke was convicted of a second offense, and that, as the statutes provide both fine and imprisonment as punishment for a second violation of the law, the impo- sition of a fine only was an arbitrary, un- lawful and unauthorized sentence, one be- yond the power of the court to impose. At the hearing before Judge Bradley this morning, Mr. Holland briefly argued that the sentence imposed on Burke by Judce Kimball was a void one, and that his client should, therefore, be discharged from custody. The District was represented by Assist- ant Attorneys Mason N. Richardson and James L. Pugh, jr. Mr. Richardson sub- mitted that the Police Court had jurisdic- tion of the offense and of the accused, and that if the lower court erred that ques- tion could not_be raised. in habeas corpus proceedings. Mr. Richardson also called attention to the fact that the man’s coun- sel had in the Police Court submitted to its jurisdiction, promising that if only a fine was imposed the defendant would con- test the matter no further. While the sentence was, said Mr. Richard- son, erroneous it was not a void one, and the man should not complain of the court’s leniency. His petition should, therefore, be denied. Judge Bradley said that Burke was con- victed on an information containing two counts, one charging a. first offense and the other a second offense, and the ver- dict was a general one. Unquestionably the judge inadvertently imposed an er- roneous sentence, but it cannot be held under habeas corpus proceedirgs that the sentence was a void one. The Police Court undoubtedly had juris- diction of the offense, and of the person accused, the justice said, and a valid ver- dict having been rendered, the sentence, althovgh an erroneous one, is a valid one. The prizoner’s complaint, in fact, is that the Police Court did not give him all the law required. “The Police Court,’” Bradley, “did not give him enough, and it pity that it not, so that his re- peated violation of the law could not have ‘Deen made ‘r for him and his amuse- ment in that kind of thing stopped. There fs no doubt that the defendant could, if the term of the Police Court had not expired meantime, be taken back to the court and remarked Judge to the workhouse to | term of imprizonment.” . —_——>—_— If you want anything, try an ad: in The at you wish, you will got an answer. — THE SATURDAY STAR Will Be Full of Interesting Matter on Timely Topics.
