THIRD TRIAL IN DOUBT FOR CLARK IN EMBEZZLEMENT CASE!
PRESCOTT SAYS
HE HAS MADE
NO DECISION
Second Jury Which Disagreed
Is Said to Have Stood 9
to 3 for Conviction
Whether Berry E. Clark, against
Whom 97 indictments charging
embezzlement were returned by
a Montgomery county grand jury,
and whose two trials on one of
the indictments alleging a short
age of $426, resulted in hung
juries, will be tried a third time
is problematical.
State’s Attorney Stedman Pres
cott said today that while he re
gretted that the jury could reach
no definite agreement, he has
made no plans for the present.
The jury which received the
case Thursday night at 9 o’clock
was discharged by Chief Judge
Hammond Urner and Associate
Judge Arthur Willard late yester
day afternoon. As in the first
trial last June, the jury was held
until all hope of an agreement
was dissipated.
The first jury deliberated 18
hours; the second for 18 hours
and 45 minutes. When dis
charged following the first trial
the jury stood 11 to 1 for acquit
tal. Yesterday it was 9 to 3 for
conviction.
GAHWLEB
SENT TO JAIL
Said to have swindled two auto
mobile salesmen of SSO under pre
tense that he was going to buy a
car, James Thomas colored, 27,
the 1100 block Bladensburg Rd.
N. E., was sentenced to 360 days
in jail by Judge Gus A. Schuldt
yesterday.
William R. Wolfe, automobile
salesman of Silver Spring, Md.,
said Thomas approached him and
told him he wanted to buy a car.
He then asked the salesman to
drive him to a nearby apartment
house where he said he could ob
tain the money to make a pay
ment on the car.
Upon arriving at the apartment
house, Wolfe said. Thomas left the
car but returned in a few moments
and asked for change for SSO.
The salesman gave it to him and
Thomas and money disappeared.
Hugh H. Sinclair, 500 block East
Capitol St., another salesman, tes
tified Thomas worked a similar
trick on him. Traffic Bureau Po
liceman L. H. Peterson arrested
Thomas as he was attempting to
“buy” a car from third man, he
said.

HELPER INIAID
EXONERATED
A charge of assault on Forest
Smith, of Forestville, lodged
against Albert Remmer, of
Hyattsville, was dismissed in
police court at Upper Marlboro.
Remmer allegedly beat Smith
with a blackjack while he was
arresting the man after a raid
on a still near Forestville early
this month. Thomas Pinkney, a
worker at the still, was fatally
shot during the raid.
Charges were filed against
Remmer because he is not a law

of the raiding party the power
to deputize him. Four police
men and constables, under bond
in connection with Pinkney’s
death, testified for Remmer.

FORCED TO EAT,
GAR'S GLOOMY
Fred Orsinger, director of the
aquarium of the U. S. Bureau of
Fisheries, is still playing nurse
maid to the stubborn five-foot
alligator gar, gloomy snouted
fish which went on a hunger
strike a month ago and only a
few days ago started eating
again—reluctantly.
This Arkansas king-fish wanted
its own way, and got it until
Orsinger forced food down its
gullet. Whether the fish wants
this nurse-feeding continued, or
merely has lost the habit of eat
ing at all, Orsinger still has to
feed the gar. He is non-com
mittal on how long he will keep
it up, before letting the fish
filibuster without without inter
ference.
