CHARGED WITH MURDER
Joseph P. Sylvia Declared to be
Slayer of Emmett E. Wood.
Joseph P. Sylvia was lodged in
the District jail' last night formally
charged wifh the murder of Em
mett E.' Wood, soda fountain clerk,
on September 18, in the basement of
the Liggett drug store, in the West
ory Building , northeast corner F
and Fourteenth streets, Washington.
At an inquest in the District
morgue yesterday a coroner's jury
decided Sylvia was the - perpetrator
of the crime. 'The 'verdict was
based on. strong circumstantial evi
dence.
Woodi the jury found, rcame to his
death "by fractured skull, hemorr
hage and shock, caused by being
hit on the head by an iron pipe in
the hands of Joseph Salvia."
Eighteen witnesses were, present
at the inquest, but ofnly seven Were
heard, the jury frequently inter
rupting the testimony to declare
that enough evidence had been pre
sented.
The most startling fact brought
out at the inquest was the an
nouncement by Dr. W.. Browne Carr,
deputy coroner, that Wood had been
killed not more than thirty minutes
after he was last seen in the store.
This declaration was established
by the fact that an autopsy, per
formed on the boys body by Dr.
Carr, and statements by employes
,at the drug stote, proved Wood
had eaten lunch in the store just
before leaving. The food he had
eaten, the autopsy brought out,
was in t/he first chamber of the
stomach from which it would have
been expelled after thirty minutes.
Wood was seen leaving the store
at 12:20 o'clock on the afternoon of
the murder. Sylvia, Who is a Port
uguese, and Wood were seen in the
basement shortly ' before 12:50
o'clock. At that time, detectives
daim, Sylvia was threatening Wood
vitih his clenched fist. 'Wood was
never seen alive after that time,
and, according to Carr, must have
met his death shortly after the last
witness had left the basement,
which, so far as .is known, was occu
pied only by the two men.

Kates, in a-special; session of Cam
fden Criminal Court yesterday morn
?ing. ' '
p As the trial concluded at 10:30
Judge Kates pronounced sentence.
The negro appealed for' protection
from the mob, the court assured him
>.hat s\iCh protection had been pro
vided, and a minute later Whitings
jplaced in a high speed automobile

To Our Patrons
Alexandria, Va., June 2, 1919.
In line with our progressive banking methods, and to meet the de
mands of our patrons, wc are installing on July 1st, an up-to-date Safe
Deposit Department, under the personal supervision of one cf our
officers.
This has been made necessary from the fact that a large number
of our depositors owning Liberty Eond3 and other securities desire a
safe place for their keeping.
It is our plan to enlarge the number of Sate Deposit Boxes, and
make a rental charge to meet the operating expenses of this Depart
ment. This charge will become effective Juiy 1st, 1919, and a bill will
be sent out at that time to the holders of boxes, and if any desire
to make any change we will be glad to have them call before the
bills are rendered for the ensuing year.
