CLARK JURY OUT ALL NIGHT; IS HUNG OBSERVERS BELIEVE
POLITICS CROPS
UP IN TRIAL
OF C LAR K
Defense Attorney Reprimand
ed for Slur at Democrats in
Embezzlement Case
Out all night, the jury in the
case of Berry E. Clark, former
clerk to the Montgomery county
commissioners, charged with em
bezzlement, had failed early to
day to return a verdict, strength
ening the belief of those who
followed the trial that it would
be "a hung jury.”
For one moment last night dur
ing final arguments in the case
at Rockville politics burst out and
created consternation.
Slap at Democrats
This was when, in the heat of
an impassioned plea to the jury,
Thomas L. Dawson, star orator
for the defense said:
"Good old Berry Clark, who
was good enough and fine
enough for the Democratic
party until it kicked him out!”
The presiding judge, Hammond
Urner, leaned over the bench and
said:
"Mr. Dawson, that was an
unfortunate remark.”
Thus the judge put an end to
the outbreak and Mr. Dawson
apologized.
Defendant In Tears
At one time, Clark broke down
and cried. This, when his attor
ney’s laid stress on “his descent
from a noble sire.”
The case was highly involved
with mathematics. The prosecu
tion had charted out bank ac
counts, showing them by devious
devices to the jury. The defense
ridiculed the presentation as so
much silly nonsense, and at one
time charged that if anyone were
to blame it “was a system of mis
management” in the office of the
board of commissioners.
At the end of three hours of
argument the case went to the
Jury at 9 o’clock. Judge Urner’s
charge to the jury was to bring
in either one of two verdicts —
guilty or not guilty.

Agreement Leading to Lower
Light Rates Looked for
As Imminent
An agreement between the Pub
lic Utilities Commission and the
Potomac Electric Power Com
pany which would end litigation
and subsequently result in reduc
tion of electric rates, was ex
pected today following another
conference between representa
tives of the two bodies at the
District Building this afternoon.
Following a get-together yes
terday which lasted nearly six
hours, Maj. Gen. Mason M. Pat
rick, chairman of the commission
said:
‘‘Excellent progress has been
made. It is hoped that an
agreement will be reached at
another conference tomorrow.**
Although nothing was revealed
as to the nature of the “pro
gress,” it was indicated that a
document admitting the authority
of the commission to fix rates
has been tentatively agreed to
and that only the approval of
the power company officials is
necessary.
In the event an agreement is
reached, it is believed it will
carry the commission’s authority
to fix rates independently.
