It was stated that “this is one of the most important changes made in the traffic regulations for some time and it is very important that every member of the force be thoroughly familiar with the method of turning under these regulations, especially the left-hand turn, that they may be able to regulate traffic, when assigned to traffic duty, in an intelligent and safe manner, and to impart intelligent in- formation to motorists on request when it is necessary to instruct them in the manner of making a left turn.” PERSHING SEES HOOVER Eyropean Conditions Not Discussed, | Says General, After Trip.

LEVELED G | | Policeman Va;.lghn Clutche: Motorist Fleein, A revolver leveled at his head failed | to deter Policeman V. V. Vaughn, Traf- fic Bureau, when he was arresting a man last night for a minor traffic offense. The officer disarmed the motorist withoat injury to himself or the gun bearer, Moses P. Owens, col- ored, Clarendon, Va. Vaughn, with the muzzle of the re- volver covering him, clutched the bar- |rel of the gun and after a short struggle gained possession of it. This account_of the incident was told to Judge Ralph Given in Police Court today by Policeman F. J. Rowen, Vaughn's companion, during the trial of Owens on a charge of having concealed weapon. Judge Given sentenced Owens to 360 deys in jail and praised Vaughn highly for his “bravery and coolness in an | 2 UN FAILS TO STOP } OFFICER IN JAILING DRIVER s Weapon and Overpowers g From Arrest. emergency whers most officers probably would have failed.” Rowen and Vaughn, patrolling on motor cycles, spotted a car parked un- lawfully on Seventh street near D. As the officers approached, the driver shot his machine into gear and turned into D street toward Sixth. He failed to make a left turn into Sixth street. overran the curb and almost entered the Police Court Building without using a door. The policemen alighted and ran toward Owens' machine. It was then the cornered man drew his gun. Owens told Judge Given he was carrying the revolver for protection. “I had a hunch that man wasn't going to shoot,”” Vaughn said, “but to tell the truth I didn't fully realize my danger until afterward. Then there was plenty of cold sweat.” The | long confinement and an additional $250,000 for alleged libel claimed to have been contained in a published in- terview with, Goddard | Herbert S. Ward. Washington attor- | mey. yesterday filed notice of motjon for the two judgments with Deputy i Clerk Alex Campbell in the Richmond Circuit Court. The notice was delit- | exed to Sheriff J. Herbert Mercer. who { tarned it over to Deputy Sheriff &. J. Wingfield for service today. Campbell charged in the notice of the suit for $500.000 that he would | mever have been indicted or put | trial for the murder, which was dis- | covered when the Baker woman's bod- | was found in the culvert April 12 {1930. “had it not been for the falsr | untrue and malicious report” of Gor dard, made allegedly after “negligen incomplete and ili, considered tests.” Interview Is Quoted. ‘The second judgment for $250.000 is sought on the basis of an interview published in a Washington newspaper September 25 of last year, while Camp- bell was under indictment for murder and awaiting trial. The article. it is <harged, quoted Goddard as saying that Campbell’s revolver fired the shots that killed Mary Baker and that he was “absolutely positive” of this statement. _The real estate man was arrested in connection with the murder July 124, 1930, and acquitted after trial in | the Supreme Court f6r the District of Columbia last Navember. The murder, | meanwhile, has never been solved. | _ Campbell said he requested Arlington | County authorities to forward the re- | volver taken from his home here to | Goddard. after the latter represented himself “as an expert in a scienge he | called the science of forensic ballistics” | and advertised that he “could determine | whether or not a certain projectile had | been fired from a particular firearm. | There was no other evidence at the time, he said, directly or by implication, ! to connect him with the slaying. Tests Held Faulty. ‘The ballistic expert “did not use rea sonable care, caution or intelligence” the selection of the tests and examina- tions he made of the revolver and the projectiles fifed from the murder gun and taken from the body of the woman, Campbell charged He further charged that Goddard did not measure or compare the bullets re- moved from the bodv with the barrel of the pistol. and that he did not properlv compare the width of the lands and grooves on the test bullets with the markings of the fatal bullets. It is also alleged that Goddard “en- larged the photographs either of the test bullets or of the fatal bullets a greater or less number of diameters, whereby the said major markings made { by the lands and grooves of one wers made to coincide with similar markings on the other.” Had not Goddard en- larged the two sets of photographs a different number of diameters the marks would not have coincided, Campbeil claimed. The tests “resulted in the defendant making a false. untrue and malicious report to the authorities by whom the plaintiff was held in custody. or to the newspapers of the country, or to.both. ! that the plaintiff’s gun had fired tbe fatal bullets,” according to the notice due to be served on Goddard today. False Pictures Charged. It was further alleged that Goddard in making the photographic enlarge- ments threw a strong cross or side light upon the bullets, “placed in such a manner as to disguise the ridges and marks upon each.” In this manner. Campbell charged. Goddard procured “false and misleading photographs.” Goddard's evidence, Campbell charges, “compelled him to undergo a long and arduous incarceration, that his life was put in jeopardy. that he suffered a loss of great gains and profits in his business, that he was compelled to in- cur great expenses in attorneys’ and other fees, and that he was compelled to incur great costs and expenses in and about procuring his liberty, and in and about defending his life.” He charged, in conclusion, he “under- went great mental and physical pain and anguish and that his nervous sys- tem . was shattered by anxiety and worry.” PLANS DELAYED JUMP ‘McEnight to Drop Half Hil; Be- fore Pulling Cord.
