TWO ARE CONVICTED FOR AUTO DEATHS Prince Georges Jury Holds One. Other Tried by {ndges. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO. Md., June ‘Two men were convicted on manslaugh- | ter charges, while a third pleaded guilty to arson as trial of the April term criminal cases was resumed here yes- terday, Those convicted of manslaughter are Frederick O. Randolph, 700 block of Sixth street southwest, Washington, and Wallace Bowling of Chgrles County. Both charges were the result of fatal automobile accidents. William Floyd Pinkney, colored, inmate of the House of Reformation, Cheltenham, pleaded guilty to arson in connection with a fire in the broom factory there. Sen- ven;A{; ‘dnlr?fh case was deferred. indolph was adjudged guilty by a jury after about an hour's deliberation. His conviction is the result of an acci- dent July 6, 1930, at Jenkins’ Corner, in which George L. Portrast, first block of P street northeast, Washington, was killed. Three cars were involved in the accident and several persons injured. Randolph was indicted in November, but remained at liberty until last montl when Constable A. C. Thompson recog- nized the man when he appeared in Police Court on a driving-while-drunk charge. Randolph is now serving 60 days on the drunk-driving Ch“{lei which was preferred by Deputy Sher L. E. Dutrow. Bowling was convicted after a trial before Judges Willlam M. Loker and Joseph C. Mattingly. He was the driver of a car which struck a tele- graph pole on the Southern Maryland pike, killing Raymond Grimm, a pas. senger in the machine. Walter J. Mitchell, president of the State Senate, represented Bowling.

The youths were picked up in the Southeast section early today by a patrolman who found them asleep in their parked automobile. They were held fcr investigation at No. 7 precinct station house when it wasflearned their general description fitted that of the robbers. Trio Produce Guns. The manager of the drug store, ! Edwin |O. Cockey, was counting re- { ceipts at the closing hour when two young men, bare headed and dre like students, strolled in and ordere scft drinks. In a moment they were joined at the fountain by a third youth. All three finished drinks and then each produced a_gun. One bandit grabbed several bags of | colns and currency from Cockey wh his confederates were robbing the soda clerk, Joseph Van Devanter, of $1.50 and a customer, Charles Willilams of 1803 Newton street, cf a small amount of change.
