SU'IBN 0“.’!‘3 ‘BMHON V Lottie | THE EVENI TOMLINSON MAY GIVE SIDE TODAY Character and Alibi Wit- nesses Defense Reliance Up to Date. J. Wiilam Tomlinson was expected to take the witness stand today in his District Court robbery trial. 8ince Monday the Government has | paraded witness after witness before the jury in a determined effort to prove that the lawyer planned and directed the robbery August 18 of Sam Siratonis, proprietor of a tailor shop at 3003 Fourteenth street. The defense so far has relied on character and alibi witnesses. On trial with Tomlinson is Philip John Pratt, colored, accused with an- other colored man, Charles Henry Bass, of actually perpetrating the crime. Bass has pleaded guilty and freely testified against both Tomlin- son and pratt. Woman Is Witness. ‘The principal witness this morning was Mrs. Sadie A. Gentry, notary pub= lic with offices in the Woodward Build- ing, who was put on the stand by de- fense counsel in an effort to bolster | Tomlinson's alibi. She testified Tomlinson was wait- ing in her office when she arrived for work between 9:30 and 10 a.m. on August 18 and remained there between 20 minutes and half an hour after her arrival. Pratt, the last witness yesterday, was on the stand again this morning when court convened, and most of the morning was consumed in his cross-examination by Assistant United States Attorney Samuel F. Beach, who hammered at him continually in an effort to shake his story or confuse him. Throughout, however, the col- ored man denied any connection with or knowledge of the robbery. Trial Justice F. Dickinson Letts i told opposing counsel this morning he intended to finish the case today even if it required a night session. The highlight of the session yester- day afternoon was testimony by a lawyer, Dorsey K. Offutt, who for- merly represented Bass. “Did Bass say to you he did not make his state- ment to the police until Inspector Thompson and Capt. Keck promised him probation, and said they would see that he got it?” inquired Defense Counsel James A. O'Shea. Affirmative Answer. When Justice Letts ruled the ques- did.” Justice Letts then turned to the jury and explained Offutt had re- ported the matter to the court yester- day morning and that the court had called in attorneys for both sides so they might be advised of the situation. The same question had been put to Bass when he was on the stand Mon- day, but he denied any promises had been made to him. Earlier in the day Assistant United States Attorneys Beach and Charles B. Murray voluntarily had with- Pratt testified his signature was ob- tained, by Detective Sergt. mother and sweetheart would be re- leaser from police custody. Ambrose denied such coercion had been used. Tomlinson’s wife, Mrs. Josephine B. Tomlinson, testified near the close of the day as an alibi witness for her husband. She said he took her to work in his automobile on the morning of at | August 18, the date of the robbery, | adding she did not leave him until | 8:45 am. The robbery occurred about 7 am. Fur Coat Purchased. Explaining how she remembered the date, she produced a little green diary in which she had noted that she purchased .a fur coat on that day. She said she asked her husband that morning as they were driving to work to meet her in the evening to purchase the garment. Pratt was the last witness of the day. Speaking in a scarcely audible voice, he said-he was at his home, 44 I street northeast, the morning of the robbery. His only dealings with Tomlinson, he testified, were those of client and attorney. He first met Tomlinson through his employer, whom he de- | scribed as a bootlegger, he said, ex- plaining that Tomlinson was his em- ployer's lawyer. He later employed Tomlinson as an attorney in two traffic cases, Pratt declared. Three colored witnesses also placed | Pratt in his own home at the time the robbery was committed.

SILVER SPRING, Md., May 27.— Grieving over the death of her child, “Sonny,” who was killed in an auto- mobile accident in Washington four years ago, Mrs, Leah Lentz, 26, was found shot through the heart in the attic of her home, 9902 Franklin ave- nue, yesterday afternoon, surrounded by toys, clothes and mementoes of the lost baby. Dr. L. M. Irving, who conducted an investigation with Montgomery Coun- ty police, issued a certificate of suicide. A .38-caliber revolver was found beside her. Mrs. Lentz, sister-in-law of Mickey McDonald, was found by Mrs. Jack Martin, her sister-in-law, who lives in the home with the Lentz and McDon- ald familles. She had not heard the shot, but became alarmed by her sis- ter-in-law's prolonged absence. Another son, Jerry Lentz, 5, was playing downstairs when Mrs. Lentz went up to the attic. Members of the family said she had threatened to take her life several times. She had been seriously injured in the accident in which “Sonny” was killed anq atill bore scars of it. Her husband, Oren Lentz, collapsed when he was told of his wife's death and was under treatment by a phy- sician. Funeral arrangements had not been completed early today. THREE LURAY CHILDREN HURT IN ACCIDENTS £pectal Dispatch to The Star. LURAY, Va, May 27.—Three chil- dren of this vicinity were hospitalized yesterday for treatment of injuries suffered in nearby accidents. The 18-month-old daughter of Clarence Wood. Rileyville, drank lye from a cup filled by her mother for washing clothes. Ivan Dingess, 16, of Stanley, almost severed his left hand as he was cutting wood. Both were taken to Page Memorial Hospi- tal here, where the condition of the Wood child was undetermined. Young Dingess underwent an operation. James Estep, 7-year-old son of | Horace Estep, was taken to Rocking- | ham Memorial Hospital after a swing he was using broke in Luray Park. Physicians said they feared he might lose his right hand. Rciief (Continued From First Page.) would have made “actual need” the primary requisite for a place on work- relief rolls. In the relief controversy administrae tion leaders, seeking to reverse ten- tative allocation of one-third of the $1,500,000,000 fund for special pur- poses, said they would demand roll calls putting each Representative on record for or against each proposed diversion. “These changes would practically destroy the bill as a relief measure,” said Majority Leader Rayburn after leaders. | He said they would force droppinz‘ 1,200,000 persons from work relief rolls, whereas the administration proposed reducing the lists by only 500,000. A strong coalition of members fa- voring the earmarking of some of next | year's funds for the public works proj- ects was urged by its leaders, how- ever, to “stand pat on your actions.” | (The House approved the allocations Tuesday in a preliminary vote, which i was subject to reconsideration.) “The earmarking of some $500,- 000,000 of this fund will not in any way interfere with the relief pro- | gram,” said a letter circulated by Rep- | resentatives Starnes, Democrat, of Alabama; Cartwright, Democrat, of | Oklahoma and Beiter, Democrat, of New York. ! President Roosevelt, on the other hand, has expressed a preference for devoting the entire fund to work re- lief. Officials of Secretary Ickes' Public Works Administration said they were | taking no part in the fight of the earmarking coalition to give them $300,000,000 for additional loans and grants to cities. Even should the allocation be ap- proved, they explained, President | Roosevelt would hold the purse strings through his power to grant or refuse P. W. A. applications. A White House ruling that most of any P. W. A, grant must be spent for relief labor has resulted, P. W. A, officials said, in few communities showing interest in the $150.000,000 still available. Another of the earmarking pro- posals, sponsored by Chairman Jones of the House Agriculture Committee, would provide $10,000,000 to build small lakes and ponds in the South- west “dust bowl.” The purpose would be to raise the water level by con- serving rainfall.

By the Associated Press. Sumner Welles, Undersecretary of State, will be asked to appear before the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee within a few days to explain provisions of the eight pacts between the United States and other Ameri- can republics for which approval was asked yesterday by President Roose- velt. Chairman Pittman of the commit- tee predicted no delay in approval of the conventions. Drafted last Winter at the Buenos Alres Conference, the principal pact, according to Secretary Hull, leaves each nation free to act in accordance with its own legislation and other treaty obligations, but at the same time “envisages the general objective of a common neutrality policy.” > o Lone Veteran to March.
