SEEKS MEN BEHIND
SIX POOL SELLERS
Myers Station Convictions
Brings Grand Jury Probe in
Anne Arundel County.

ANNAPOLIS. April 2O.-The grand
Jury of Anne Arunde' county Is still
considering two phases OF the invasion
OF the county by pool sellers at
Myers Station, notwithstanding the six
months jail sentences imposed yester-
day on six men convicted as principals
following the raid on January is.
Judge Brashears and States Attorney
Green are most anxious to find out the
interests thar were BEND the alleged
pool room and whether or not any pro-
lection was promised them. The court
has also ordered a thorough probe of
the alleged escape Of twenty-five of the
witnesses either from the jail or be-
tween the time of the arrest and their
incarnation.
1t is believed that one or more Of
those sent to Jail may give Information
as to those higher up"
The investigation as to the alleged
escape of some of the witnesses may
also bring out the names of those who
were active in attempting to secure
the release of certain witnesses and
may shed some light on the Annapolis
people who are believed to have been
identified with the alleged pool room.
State and county officials say they
have the backing OF public sentiment
in the effort to get at the bottom OF the
affair.
