T0BE“ACGDENT Two Witnesseé, Present When Ryon Was Shot, Deny There Was Row. BY GEORGE 8. PORTER, Staft Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., April 16.—Defense _Attorney M. Hampton Magruder, in his opening address to the jury in the trial of' Henry Kreitzer, charged with the murder of- N. Melvin | Ryon December 18 last, indicated that ( accident wbuld be the defense, and his | cross-questioning of State witnesses was in line with that view. Lyle Simmons and Bernard Watkins, | two of the mutual friends of the men; who were in the Kreitzer home at! Bowie the hight Ryon was fatally shot, were the first Witnesses, and admissions were obtained from them that no quar- reling or drinking preceded the firing of the shot. The party was in a friendly mood, they testified. Jury Is Selected. Before a courtroom crowded with| spectators . eager to -learn the “inside story” of the mysterious shooting of Ryon at Kreiter's home, the defendank entered a plea of not gullty when the trial commenced with his arraignment by Summerfield D. Hall, clerk of the Circult Court. The task of selecting a jury was then begun. With the prosecution and defense ex- ercising their rights of challenge, the following jurors were selected: Charles Pritchard, Laurel; John F. Empey, Seat Pleasant; Irving B. Trabane, Marlboro; Robert Tilch, Oxon Hill; William_ S. Chichester, Aquasco; J. Turner Ba- den. Aquasco; George and W. J. Wyvill, Willlam Burroughs and Vincent Wells, all of Upper Marlboro; W. T. Richard- son, Mellwood, and Louis Seger, Not- tingham. Baden was designated fore- man. A second panel was required. The unusual circumstances under ‘which Ryon was shot and the versions obtained by police of the shooting led a coroner’s jury to order Kreitzer bound over to the grand jury at an inquest held shortly after the occurrence. Note Payment Mentioned. According to the testimony given at the inquest, Ryon visited the Kreitzer home the evening of December 18. After someé social conversation mention was made of payment of a note due on an automobile, it was testified. In searching for the note, Kreitzer came across a pistol, the coroner’s jury was told, and began pointing it at per- sons in _the room. As he leveled the gun at Ryon, the latter is said to have declared, “You haven’t nerve enough to shoot.” Thereupon, according to the testi- mony, the gun was discharged. Only one shot was fired, and Ryon fell dead. ‘Witnesses at first did not realize what had happened. A few minutes later, however, they fled. Kreitzer placed his vietim’s body in his automobile and drove to a dense clump of woods about a mile from his home. Abandoning both the body and machine, he returned to Bowie, where he was arrested by County Policeman V. M. Nichols. When taken into ous- tody he led the officer to Ryon's body. Ryon was 30 years of age and an engineer of the Bladensburg Suburban Sanitary Commission. Kreitzer was held at the Marlboro Jail for several days, finally being re- leased under $2,000 bond. Upon being indicted by the Prince Georges County grand jury last week his bond was in- creased to $5,000. He is represented by Attorneys M. Hampton Magruder and Frank Hall. Prosecution of the case is being con- ducted by State's Attorney J. Frank Parren. Judges Joseph C. Mattingly and Willlam M. Loker are on the bench. Witnesses for the State are Lyle Simmons, Bernard Walker, ‘Robert Walker, Herbert Jones and Edward Gasch. Persons summoned by the de- fense include Fred Pohlman, Herbert Jon Lewis Pascault, Policeman V. M. Nichols. Bernard Maenner, sr.; Mrs. Bernard Maenner, Frank Tompkins, Bernard Lauro, Stanley Hicks, Julius Cramer, Leslie Basin and John Ber- brick, sr. All reside at or near Bowie. ROCKVILLE.

ZONING ENGINEER ‘- PROBABLE BY MAY 1 Appointment of Arlington County Official Depends on Commis- sions Plans Materializing. CLARENDON, Va, April 16—If plans of the Arlington Zoning Commis- sion materialize, a zoning engineer will be employed and get into action by May 1, Robert H. Forman, & member of the commission, declared last night in a"talk on this important question before a meeting of the Arlington District Coun- cil of Citizens’ Associations. Definite recommendations in this connection are expected to soon be made to the board of supervisors, the body which has power of appointment. Mr. Forman asserted that the zoning committee of the council could be invaluable aid to the commission, and urged its co-operation. He assured the council that any suggestions would be given careful consideration by the com- mission. Expressing the belief that more pr gressive action would result by increa: ing the personael of the board of super- visors, C. 1. Kephart offered a motion, which was adopted, providing for the appointment of & committee to “inves- tigate and report the feasibility of add- ing two more members of the board.” As now constituted the board comprises one member from each of the three magisterial districts. It was pointed out by Col. James G. Pepper thai the proposed change would necessitate a constitutional amendment. ' ‘The finance committee was instructed by vote on motion of Mr. Kephart to | investigate the status of the delinquent tax situation in the county. This is a matter, Mr. Kephart declared. in which the people should be fully informed. He said that when improvements are pro- posed the usual response is there are no avallable funds. He expressed the view that if the matter is comprehen- sively reported an improved method for collecting the delinquent taxes mightbe | worked out and the money used to good advantage on county projects.

Special Dispatch to The Star. HARRISONBURG, Va., April 16— Indicted yesterday on a charge of burning the Elkton ice plant May 6, J. C. McClung, owner of the plant, and Roy Wheeler, young attorney and real estate agent, both of Waynesboro, will be arraigned in Circuit Court next Mt:‘ndly. Both are at liberty on $5,000 each. ‘Wheeler remains a patient in a Char- lottesville hospital. He was seriously injured in an automobile accident at Ivy last Tuesday night. McClung was teady to appear today, but the court emu:nwd to the delay of his arraign- ment. Wheeler is named as the principal in the arson count, which charges con- spiracy to defraud 20 fire insurance companies of the $25,000 policies an the ice plant, while McClung is named 2s an accessory before the fact. The Elkton ice plant, unused for three years, was purchased last De- cember by McClung for $20.000. Wheeler, who had the property listed for sale, was at the plant alone when the fire broke out, it is alleged. The defendants deny any ml‘:'?m charge, maintaining that they will lose by the fire, as the insurance policies are made payable to the trustees to secure the $15,000 bonds issued sgainst the plant.
