October Resuming their investigation of d gambling establishment on Bl densburg road, the County grand jury yesterday questioned five men whom, it was informed, could shed :ome light on the operation of | the place. Among those questioned was J. Frank Lillard, Hyattsville lawyer and presi- dent of the néwly formed Taxpayers' Association of the county, which has for its slogan, “For the first time the truth shall be told.” Speech Brings Hearing. Lillard was given his opportuniy to reveal “the truth” before the jury as a result of having referred to the gambling establishment in a firey £peech before the county Municipal As- sociation last week, police said. ‘The others heard by the jury yes- terday were persons whose names were furnished by, Charles B. Calvert, who appeared before the jury the opening day of court. They included Lee Earle of Brentwood and #. H. Baker of Mount Rainier. As was anticipated, police found it difficult to serve summonses in the case, five witnesses being all they could reach out of & list of 16. It was re- ported several witnesses had taken "irips to dodge the summonse: This tends to confirm State’s Attor- ney J. Frank Parran’s statement made before the county commissioners when Calvert’s first complaint was filed, that it was exceedingly difficult to prose- cute the establishment. - At that time Parran declared he believed, from pop- ular report, that the place existed, but said it was almost jmpossible to get witnesses to testify against it. Whether or not any definite infor- mation Was obtained from the witnesses yesterday will not be known until the jury submits its repoft late today or tom w. Elght Bitls Returned.
