10 CUBURBAN NEWS. THE EVENING SEEK RECIPROCITY IN CRIMINAL CASES Prince Georges Authorities Would Avoid Delay of Ex- tradition Proceedings. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBOROQ. Md, June 5. Claiming to be handicapped and un- necessarily delayed in the prosecution of many important criminal cases, es- pecially in the recent roadhouse shoot- ings, by having to go through extra- dition proceedings to reach both wit- nesses and principals, authorities in Prince Georges County today expressed the bellef that their efforts to punish criminals would be more successful if some legal arrangement could be work- ed out whereby Maryland police would be authorized to summon persons from Washington and the Washington police given the same privilege in Maryland. Among those who are strongiy in favor of an arrangement giving police authorities in counties bordering on the District of Columbia concurrent juris- diction in the serving of criminal proc- esses is J. Frank Parran, State's attor- ney for Prince Georges County. In the great majority of criminal cases in his jurisdiction, Parran point. the Maryland au- where they know them without thorities cannot reach first going through requisition processes. The result is not only that the offenders have ample op- portunity to perfect alibis, but in many instances succeed in making clean “get- aways,” the prosecutor says. One instance was cited of a Negro charged with a statutory offense who fought extradition successfully for sev- eral years, until an entirely new State's attorney had taken office, and when finally brought to Marlboro, had a host of witnesses to prove an alibi of being miles away from the scene of the offense | at_the time. In both the recent roadhouse affrays it has been necessary to gather witness from Washington, while in a third roa house shooting, that at the Blue Grass Inn, near Bladensburg, last August, the Victim himself never could be reached by the Maryland authorities. In that instance three men were charged with assault with intent to kill. The victim was shot several times in the foot and leg and had to have his leg amputated. Some months after the actual shooting, the State’s attor- | ney was informed, a settlement had been reached between the principal parties involved. However satisfactory that may have been to the parties themselves, it was not at all satisfactory to the Govern- ment prosecutor, who is endeavoring to put an end to such occurrences. G. 0. P.

Immediately after the ex- ercises, which were out of doors, he re- turned to his bed. “It is this pharasaical nationalism.” he told the gathering of 25,000, “which frames public_policies as if there were no other members of the human family but ourselves. It acclaims inter- national trade and international financial interdependence. and then proceeds to build tariff walls so high as to make both difficult as possible.” PR Report Peace in Venezuela. 2y Cable to The Star.
