In charging the grand jury, Judge Mattingly stated that it had been ru- mored that persons operating alleged gambling institutions in the county were in the habit of ceasing operations during sessions of the grand jury. He stated that it was the duty of the jury to investigate these reports. He also called attention to the severi- ty of the charge of bribery, especially in cases of officers charged with en- forcing the law. He called attention to the various cases submitted to the grand jury by the State's attorney, J. Frank Parran, and that the duty of the jury was not confined to these cases, but it was its province to Investigate all cases of violations of the law with which members of the jury might be familiar, William T.

Rosenfeld is accused of being the driver of an automobile which forced Lawrence Webster Bowles, 19-year-old Chillum farmer, off the Ram's Horn road on November 24. Bowles, who| was driving & light delivery truck, was forced off a bridge across the Eastern Branch of the Anacostia River, and submerged beneath the waters 20 minutes. ‘The driver of & milk truck aided a group of university students, said to in- clude Rosenfeld, in pulling Bowles from the water.

Kreitzer was bound over to the jury following & coroner’s inquest into fatal shooting on January 18 of Melvin Ryon, 30-year-old civil engineer of the Bladensburg Suburban and Sani- tary Commission. The shooting occurred in Kreitzer's home, where Ryon and three compan- dons were visiting. Police have been T tedly told that Kreitzer was flour~ the gun in a playful manner, and aimed and fired at Ryon on a dare. Only one shot was fired and the man fell dead. Kreltzer then is said to have put the body in his automobile and drove the machine into a clump of dense woods about a mile from his home. A short time later he was arrested by County Policeman V. M. Nichols and led the officer to the body. Both Kreitzer and Rosenfeld are at liberty under bond. Few Criminal Appeals. The efficient manner in which the county’s Police Court has kept the Circuit Court’s docket from being filled with appeal cases. is.seen from the fact that there are only about 20 criminal appeals docketed to be heard this term as against several hundred during the last term before Police Court was | | | | Eight of the appeals are from Police Court and the rest from justices of gelee. Only five criminal appeal cases ave been carried over from last term. State Attorney J.

It is expected the court will complete its work in about three weeks. —_—— WOMAN, 100 YEARS OLD, IS FOUND DEAD IN BED Mrs. Kate Russell Was Native and Lifelong Resident of Loudoun County.
