{Policeman Shoots
'Prowler' He Found
Sitting in His Auto
An eleventh precinct police
man, aroused from sleep by a
neighbor’s call, early today shot
and wounded a man sitting in
his car, then called by telephone
to report the incident to his pre- j
cinct.
The wounded man, who gave his
name as J. Fred Carper, 1000 block
of Quebec street N.W., was reported
in a “not serious” condition at Gal
linger Hospital with a bullet wound
in his lower left leg.
His* landlord told police* he is a
salesman for the Monarch Food
Pioducts Corp. The landlord,
Henry Gengler. said Carper's wife,
an expectant mother, is visiting
friends in Roanoke, Va.
The policeman, Pvt. Edward Neill,
27, colored, of 6139 Banks place N.E.,
is an Army veteran. He has been
on the force 14 months and is de
tailed to police headquarters as an
undercover man for the vice squad.
Pvt. Neill said he shot the man
because he thought he was reach
ing for a pistol. After the shooting,
he said, he found the man did not
have a weapon.
The policeman gave this account
of the shooting:
About 3:30 a.m., a neighbor, Sam-:
uel Hale of 6138 Banks place N.E.,
called him to say:
“Some one has just been trying
to get into my house with a key. I
I chased him away and now he's
sitting in vour car.’’
Pvt. Neill pulled on some clothes,
j stuck his .38 caliber service revolver
in his belt and ran out of the house
He saw a man sitting at the
wheel of his car and apparently
trying to start it, although he had
no key.
The policeman yanked open the
right front door and asked:
j “What are you doing here?"
The man didn’t answer, but he
made a motion toward his right hip
j pocket. The policeman pulled his
pistol out of his belt and fired once
! at the man’s leg. The man groaned,
| “My God, I'm shot," and said noth
; ing more.
The policeman helped the man
out of the car and told his wife to
j call police and an ambulance.
Pvt. Neill and other police said the
man appeared to be in a dazed con
i dition.
At Gallinger Hospital. Dr. P. A.
Stebbing said Carper told Dr. Mar
garet Shelton that he had taken
several drinks.
Mr. Gengler, owner of the house i
where Carper rents a room, said
tie saw the salesman last about 3
p.m. yesterday at the house. He
suggested that Carper might have
been to the circus last night.
Mr. Gengler said he had known
Carper for the last four months, and
considered him a “completely re
spectable man" of temperate habits, j
For the last six weeks his roomer1
has been ill. suffering from periodic
stomach trouble, Mr. Gengler said.
He spent three days in bed last
week and was not fully recovered,
the landlord said.
Pvt. Neill, according to police,
-.erved with the Army in the South
Pacific and has a clear record on
the force. He has an 8-month-old
daughter.

^/ashing’s such a simple matter these days!
All I do is put clothes in ... set the dials . . .
add soap . . . take clothes out. Just as easy as
it sounds, too! Not only does my automatic
washer do the work of washing ... it rinses
clothes thoroughly, cleans itself and shuts it
self off. It delivers a fresh, sweet laundry . . .
and from the time I click that switch, I’M FREE!
"I can follow on through, rain or shine,
because my Electric Drier tumble-dries the
whole wash indoors and my Electric Ironer
lets me sit down for those finishing touches.
"It’s my fool-proof formula, for MORE
leisure with LITTLE effort and it works like
a charm. Just ask any woman who owns an
All-Electric Home Laundry.”
