CONTEMPT IS HELD REMOVABLE CHARGE Commissioner Turnage Rules That Bowles Must Answer to U. S. Court at Baltimore. Contempt _of court was held yester- day to be a removable offense by United States Commissioner Needham C. Turn- age, when he held Norman S. Bowles, former member of the District bar, for removal to Baltimore to answer a charge of contempt of court preferred by Judge William C. Coleman of the Federal Court of Maryland. Bowles appeared in a case before the court and repre- sented himself to be a member of the bar of the District, after he had been disbarred by the District Supreme Court. Bowles recently was fined $100 by the local court for holding himself out as a lawyer after his disbarment. An appeal from that decision is pend- ing in the District Court of Appeals. At the hearing before the commis- sioner, Bowles offered a pardon from President Coolidge, under which he had been released from a prison term, and urged that it restored his civil rights, in which he included the right to practice law.

The only suspect, Dr. Floyd D. Leach, eccentric dentist, was released in the afternoon, forestalling habeas roceedings by Stanley Doyle, awyer, and American Legion enthusiast. Leach, a former soldier, had been seen in the neighborhood of the teacher's home Saturday night, the night of the slaying. The earliest matches were made without phosphorus, so were harder to light than those of today. They were generally sold in boxes with special sheets of sandpaper inclosed on which to rub them, and often quite elaborate instructions ‘were given.
