Rockville.

Trial of Emmett Griffin to Begin at
Rockville.
Emmett z. Griffin, charged with man
slaughter as the result of the killing of
Albert A Johnson a plumber, at Cabin
John Bridge. Sunday night, April Is, last,
will be arraigned for trial tomorrow
Henderson, of the Montgomery County
Circuit Court. Robert e Dennison, who
accompanied Griffin at the time OF the
killing, is under $500 bond to appear as a
United States witness in the case. Bond
in the sum of &. 600 was given by Griffin.
The tragedy at Cabin John Bridge -oc-
CURED about O'Clock Sunday Eight,
April 10, and resulted in the death of
Johnson at the Georgetown University
Hospital from a fractured skull early the
following morning. Several arrests were
made by Detectives Henderson and Peck,
who were assigned TO assist the Maryland
authorities. but q week elapsed before
Griffin and Dennison finally surrendered
TO the police. Griffin was employed at
the pension agency of Patrick O'Farrell,
New York Avenue near Fourteenth
Street northwest, and resides at 1892 Six
teenth Street northwest Dennison lives
with his parents at 1917 r Street north
west
The claim set up by the mer is that
the trouble, and subsequent killing of
Johnson, resulted from drunken quar-
rel on the part OF the deceased, whom
they admitted meeting in the neighbor-
hood OF the bridge on the fatal night.
This version OF the killing is denied by
friends OF Johnson. who declare the de-
ceased man bore an excellent reputation,
and was known as quiet inoffens!ye
man. The deceased was brother in law
of Sergeant Sullivan. OF the Third pre-
cinct station. and lived with his mother
and family on Street, near Second
Street northwest
Griffin and DennisOn went to Cabin
John that Sunday night and met shortly
before O'Clock near the hotel About g
o'clock they started across the bri5ge for
this city. They bOushht cigars at smsII
stand at the east entrance TO the bridge,
where Dennison claims TO have been jos
tied by a drunken man who was looking
for a fight Griffin took the part Of his
companion he says and went a short dis
lance. then exchanging blows with the
alleged assailant. He soon returned to
the stand, and found that Dennison had
been assaulted Almost Immediately
Griffin said. the drunken man again at
tackled his friend. and three men pouneed
upon him. In a few minutes both he and
Dennison were released. however. but
johnson followed them toward the bridge
There. says Griffin. the man fell sustain
ing by the shock fracture of the skull
Shortly afterEard both Griffin and Den
nison returned to the city. Johnson was
brought here also and placed at the hos
pitaI where he died
After their arrest. Griffin and DeBnis9n
were taken to Rockville by Deputy Sheriff
Gather, and later released ON bail.

says, regarding it as great annoyance
to patients in the Hospital.
ter, that the most prominent public ath-
leth park we have should be in such
cioEa proximity to an Institution where
the sick must be cared for, but this con-
dition has prevailed for years, and, in ny
opinion, radical changes must be taking
place IN the process OF the city to bring
about this vigorous remOnstrance against
the ball grounds. Everybody knows the
character of the demonstrations that are
made by the enthusiastic friends of COM
peting football eIevens, High School Ca

CARNATIONS. and there is no doubt it
would be satisfactory In view of the fling
of the petition If such entertainments
were conducted at a greater distance
from the resident neighborhoods.
AS / have heretofore stated 20 the
Commissioners, there is no doubt that
there is growing sentiment for the To-
cation of shows circuses, and other ex-
hibitions at some point without the well
settled districts of the city, where many
interests are at times affected -
Upon motion Of Mr.. Ross the consider

path of the years the clear eyes of love

shall call home. And when tie mar
rage is contaminated and the home

the minds of wife and husband, a
thought that lies too deep for words,
