A2 Thurtdty, Nsvsmbsr 21, 1142 SENTINEL Attorneys Will Appeal Rilling In Giles Case Defense attorneys for two brothers sentenced to death for the rape of a Hyattsville girl said last week they plan to appeal to ruling by Circuit Court Judge James H. Pugh in which the judge rejected their plea for a new trial. They also said they probably will file another new trial mo tion in Montgomery County based on an affidavit submitted to Judge Pugh before he ruled on the new trial motion. The motion for a new trial for James Giles. 21, and John Giles, 23. both of Spencerville, was based on an affidavit from a 17-year-old Odenton girl which the attorneys contend contra dicts testimony presented in the Giles’ trial by a key prosecutoin witness. Judge Pugh sentenced the brothers to death for the rape. The Court of Appeals upheld the convtbtion. A third person implicated in the rape of the white girl, Jo seph E. Johnson, 23, also of Spencerville, was sentenced to death by an Anne Arundel Coun ty Circuit Court last week. At torneys for Johnson say they will appeal the sentence. The case has generated wide spread interest, resulting in the formation of a Giles-Johnson Defense Committee in the coun ty. The committee has collect ed 2,579 petition signatures in its drive to save the trio’s lives. The Odenton girl’s affidavit filed in the Giles brothers’ case allegedly offers sharp contra diction to testimony given by Stewart Foster, 21, the assault ed girl’s escort on the night of the rape. At the brothers’ trial, Foster testified he got into a fight with the defendants after they ap proached a car in which he was Rally Will Protest Hiss TV Appearance A public rally to protest the recent appearance of Alger Hiss on an ABC network TV show will be held Friday at 8 p.m. in the auditorium of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, 8787 Georgia Ave., Silver ■ | Spring. | Sponsor of the rally is The B _J. 1_ „ Crusade for Survival whose I chairman, according to the an nouncement, is Henry Noyes.

The assault on the girl followed. The trial brought out con flicting testimony about what Foster and the defendants said to each other. Foster said the defendants used profane lan guage. He denied he used pro fanity himself. But according to the Odenton girl, Foster said the fight start ed when he told the Negro brothers, “get the hell out of here, you niggers.” Foster testified at the trial that he did not know what his date’s reputation was. But ac cording to the Odenton girl, Fos ter expressed his "familiarity with the reputation for chastity” of his date and “he stated that he knew it to be bad.” Defense attorneys contended that their newly discovered evidence about the victim’s reputation sheds new light on the principal defense at the trial —the claim that the girl consented to advances. The attorneys say that Fos ter's description of the conver sation between himself and the defendants was the "crucial evi dence” upon which the Court of Appeals sustained the convic tions. The Odenton girl’s account, they continued, “was basically and materially contradictory” to Foster’s testimony. The girl’s testimony at a new trial, they said, "would be competent and highly material to the issue tried herein.” wBSK, ' 'iflHn ■ h b m o 8k * V A JB|| Hr R'fß f W Thumbs Up During Eye Test Members of the Rockville Lions Club cooperated last week with the D.

Ed Mervis Photo Renewal Plan (Continued from Page 1) Street across from the high rise apartments. Also beyond the five-year com pletion goal is a plan for a rapid transit station and a com muter parking garage near the Baltimore & Ohio RR tracks just north of the freight station. Under a plan proposed last Nov. 1 by the National Capital Transportation Agency, Rock ville would be the terminal point of high speed mass transit along the B & O right of way enabling residents to commute to downtown jobs without hav ing to brave traffic snarls. Key feature of the plan is a compressing into a relative ly small area of the new busi ness district’s mainstays—the department store, all of the retail shopping facilities, and the big office buildings. A huge parking garage would be erected immediately to the rear of the present County Fed eral Building and extending westward. The plan also calls for large underground parking areas beneath the complex of office buildings and stores lo cated on the west end of the east-west mall. Additional parking areas would be located on large lots behind the Co-op and Grants stores in the North Washington Street Shopping Center. Another pedestrian-generat ing feature of the plan Is lo cation In the revamped area of the county’s new central li brary which would also serve as the regional library facility. In addition, the plan calls for erection of a multi story park ing garage on the site of the present county parking lot on Perry Street which the city hopes the county will build as the county’s population expands and with it the number of coun ty employes. A long dreamed of plan to ex tend East Jefferson Street west ward at Perry to eliminate the present Jog in that thorough fare is also included in the pro posal. Drawn up by the city’s planning department, the plan has been several months in the making. First step was receipt of a $119,584 grant from the federal government last January to fi nance preparation of the plan. City Manager Walter A. Schei ber and Planning Director Rus sell L. Montney stressed that the proposal they removed the wraps from this week is a “pre liminary” one and subject to major change if the need is demonstrated. Future stops Include sub mission of the proposal to the Federal Urban Renewal Ad ministration for review and recommendation. Then a formal public hearing will be held In the city, and revisions made, then formal adoption of the plan by the city govern ment. Then the plan will be resub mitted to the FUR A for final approval. Demolition of build ings and resale of land will com mence shortly thereafter, pos sibly by late next year. Somerset Zoning Is Withdrawn A controversial rezoning application which would clear the way for high rise apartments on a 30-acre tract of land in Somerset was “withdrawn without preju dice” after the County Coun cil refused to act on the ap plication Friday night. The request has brought loud objection from the Town of Somerset which envisions the wooded tract as a park. The Council’s action to defer the decision on the case resulted from the Council’s desire to await completion of a master plan for the area. Objection to the rezoning plan began to develop in mid-1961 when the Mayor and Council of the Town of Somerset held a public hearing which resulted in strong protests from ctiizens. The town’s officials later presented a 1,600 signature petition ot the council object ing to the proposal and sent along an official protest over tlie signature of the mayor. In a brief filed with the Coun cil last week, Somerset officials noted: ' “There is a great need for the preservation of open space In this area, and this property, which is beautifully wooded and of rough terrain, is ideally suit ed for park purposes. The Town has requested the Maryland-Na tional Capital Park and Plan ning Commission to designate this land for park use and has Itself offered to contribute a very substantial portion of the cost of acquisition. The Town has also made application to the Federal Government for a grant running up to 30 per cent of the cost of acquisition.” Mayor Warren Jay Vinton also requested that the applica tion be denied without permis sion to withdraw without preju dice. The area is located on the west side of Wisconsin Ave. about one-third of a mile north of the intersection of Wisconsin and Western Aves. In other business, the Council postponed action on a zoning application to build high-rise apartments on a site across the Potomac from the controversial Merrywood estate. The application was made for Milton Polinger, contract pur chaser of a 12.5-acre tract on MacArthur Blvd. near Cabin John Gardens. flllllllllllll!llll!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllll||||||| | Piano & Organ | | CHRISTMAS CLUB | This Ad Is Worth 1 *SO I Toward tho purchose of aoy NEW PIANO or ORGAN lay Away Yaar hrekaa For Christmas Dailvary (Oaa to a cuitomor) PIANO & ORGAN FOUNDATION, INC.
