He favored House bill 34 proposing a road along the south bank of the Anacostia River from Anacostia Bridge to the steel plant, noting access was poor and a private road was the only current route.

Paolucci Death Warrant Sets Monday Execution
The death warrant for Italian convict Joseph Paolucci, sentenced for the September 13, 1906 murder of Elizabeth Dodee, was signed by Justice Barnard. Unless a writ of habeas corpus or presidential clemency intervenes, Paolucci faces execution Monday between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM. His lawyers express little hope for commutation despite appeals, while prosecutors reportedly oppose clemency. Paolucci, suffering from consumption, reportedly weighed under eighty pounds.
