Failure Today to Secure Jury to Try Arthur Lando Arthur Landon, a young colored man, who formerly lived at 72 I street south- west, was placed on trial today In Criminal Court No. 1 under an indictment alleging the murder of Henry Bradley by stabbing him, while the parties were near the inter- section of 7th and H streets southwest, the 12th of last December. After his arrest Landon made a full state- ment of his connection with the affair. He said he had known Mrs. Bradley, wife of the deceased, for several months, but not until the evening of Tuesday, December 12, had he even seen her for a period of two weeks. He met the woman that evening, he said,-on 3d street between H and I streets southwest, and accepted an invita- tion from her to accompany her to her home. “While walking along H street the woman remarked that her husband was approaching; that he was armed with a razor and a stick, and that he intended to cut the defendant. Mrs. Bradley thereupon ran off. : According to Landon, Bradley assaulted him with a club, and, fearing he would be beaten to death, he made one stab at the breast of the man. He did not know until the following day, he says, that he had cut Bradley. ‘The regular panel was exhausted before a jury was secured, so an adjournment was ordered until tomorrow, additional tales- men to be summoned in the meantime. ar THE FUND EXHAUSTED.
