Friendship Heights At War
Lone Woman Object of Wrath
MRS. HILL DENIES
SHE DEF|ED COURT;
SAYSSHE WASILL

Characterizing the entire procedure
as prompted by neighbood spite and
the prejudice OF county officials, Mrs.
Leonore Caldwell Benson Hill indig.
nantly denies she is dangerous to the
community OF Friendship Heights or
that she has defied the Montgomery
county sheriffs. Again refusing to ap'
pear before Judge Henderson yester.
producing q doctors certificate or
having the sheriff take her to court
by force. Mrs. Hill inFists that the
warrants for her arrest for disorderly
conduct were sworn out by her six
nearest neighbors solely for the pur.
pose OF humiliating her. while States
Attorney Albert n. BOuic intimates
that Mrs. Hill Is attempting to fout
the law and the county officials whose
duty it is to enforce It, He sent a
message to her, through her husband,
that her action is anarchistic.
Friendship Heights, delicate irony
in nomenclature; is up in arms against
Mrs. Hill. According to the combined
woman power OF the place, there can
be no peace until Mrs. Hill has been
subdued, bound over to keep the
peace, and tried on the disorderly con-
duct charge, lodged by Mrs. Anna H.
Roach, wife OF Prof. Charles Roach,
OF Georgetown University, which cites
Mrs. Hill as having brandished a gun
on the public highway on Wednesday,
to the detriment OF the peace, gov
eminent, and dignity. OF the State of
Maryland" Even a reversal to the
status quo ante will not satisfy the
COMPLIMENTARY In fact. but an
enforced change in Mrs. Hills actions,
Remains In BED.
Mrs. Hill remains in bed, stoutly
maintaining her inability to rise and
go to court. She laughs to scorn her
neighbors' claims that they fear
bodily injury from her. She quickly
sketched a family tree sufficiently
flourishing TO shelter all OF Friend
ship Heights and part OF Somerset be-
sides. AS proof that she is not a
person lightly to be charged with
disorderly conduct and breach Of the
peace, she displayed photographs Of
the ancestral Caldwell castle in Ire
land and reproductions OF the coats
Va a. ms u bSNAA AhG Sdlu"cll anu
Benson families.
She herself is a writer on Eenealog-
ical subjects. A typewriter card on
the front door elucidates the fact that
gas and electric men must present
themselves between the hours OF IL
and l only, that no telephone calls
are answered before IL a. m, that
articles are not bought from itinerant
peddlers, that calls are received Thurs
day afternoons only, all others being
requested to leave their cards in the
mail box-all per order Of Leonore
Caldwell Benson HILL" In a com
munity where II is en- reggie to swap
mayonnaise dressing recipes over the
back fence, the sensation OF Mrs.
Hilrs front door PRONUNCIATION can
easily be imagined.
The sheriff being unfortunate
enough TO present himself on Friday
found II necessary to break down
three doors before he succeeded in
reaching Mrs. Hill with his six war
rants. A short time previous Mrs.
Hill had gone to one OF the windows

who have remained friendly to Mrs.
Hill, consented to go on the bond.
"All of these women have tried In
times past to be friendly with me-
Mrs. Hill went on, "but their pursuits
were not mine.
Mrs Hill Is a progressing woman
in the early forties and has resided
In Friendship Heights fourteen years.
The women who have complained
against her are Mrs. Charles Rippey'
wife of an instructor at Mckinley
Manual Training School; Mrs. Emery
H. Bogley. wife OF a Washington
lawyer: Mrs. H. w. Onatt, cousin
of Governor Harrington. OF Maryland;
Mrs. Clara N. Frost, whose husband
Is in the Department Of Commerce,
and Mrs. Charles Roach.

the visit, she withdrew TO appear later
with a note addressed to Judge Hen.
derson telling him she was I'll and
unable to appear. This, she declares,
she thought was the end OF the mat,
ter for the day. Sheriff w. Frank
Gauthier thought differently, how
ever. therefore the three broken doors.
Apropros of which, Mrs. Hill hints
darkly that the entry was unlawful
and that she has perfectly good
claim for damages against the county.
All. All JeaIOuby."
"Jealousy-Jealousy. pure and sim.
pie. is the explanation of this entire
matter" Mrs. Hill declared to The
Times. ION my mothers side l am a
Caldwell; on my fathers a Benson. On
the maternal side we trace our an
cestry back to 4O6. My mothers great
aunt, Rachael, gave Baltimore street
to Baltimore. gave the first public fe-
male seminary, the first orphan asy.
lum and the first public burying
ground. l am also related to the Mary
GwendOlin Caldwell, who gave the
money that made the Catholic Univer-
sity in Washington possible"
Mrs. Hill explained the matter OF
the shotgun. She produced q small
rifle her husband calls q eat gun"
81 suppose those women thought
this little rifle was a 42-centimeter
gum" he laughed, as he admitted that
Mrs. Hill had ''potted" q cat on one
occasion.
Mr.. Hill is in the Interior Depart
ment, Is an inventor and writer on
engineering subjects.
II ought at this moment to be work
ing on something to help stop this
war, instead OF spending my time on
this little flivver case" he declared
to State Attorney Bouic, while at
tempting to settle his wife's case. He ap-
peared at the court house with a young
lawyer, J. Francis Moore. from Easily
Smiths office, in the hope that the
attorney could appear for Mrs. Hill.
State Attorney Boulc insists Mrs. Hill
must appear in person. and refused to
accept her personal bond. Judge Hen
derson has asked 81 100 bond and Mrs.
Moore, mother OF the lawyer, one of

Sued Car Company.

Six years ago Mrs. Hill sued the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company for damages on account of
injuries sustained in falling from a
car. She got a verdict OF s11.5o0. She
says that she was an invalid in a
wheel chair for three years but that
her neighbors were so Jealous OF the
verdict thst they claimed she was
taking and that she went to Keith's
Theater the very evening the verdict
was rendered.
She herself swore out q warrant
enjolning Mrs. Bogley to keep the
peace q year ago. Judge Henderson
settled the matter out OF court.
She was also the complainant last
summer against several residents OF
the Heights for working about their
places on Sunday. AS q result OF a
recent letter from her, a motorcycle
policeman was stationed at the Dis
trlct boundary to apprehend motor
lists without a Maryland license.
Friendship Is only about a quarter OF
q mile over the line in Maryland and
many OF the residents were operating
with only a District license.
Most OF the alterations which have
eliminated in the present action have
resulted from the fact that the COM
munity Is a subdivision, governed by
a chairman elected by the property
holders. Recently the Bogleys wanted
to put up a garage on their land i'm
mediAtely adjoining the Hill property.
Mrs. Hill objected. She hac law
yer look up the deed OF the property
and discovered that II was forbidden
to bsIld any clubhouse within seventy
Ave feet of the road. The Bogley's lot
was seventy-three feet only. They had
to abandon the idea OF their garage,
which occurrence did not further the
amenities between the two families.
Mrs. Hill also objected when Mr..
Offatt wanted to sink water boilers
for drain pipes on her side Of the
street and was sustained.
Sheriff w. Frank Gauthier, who.
with two deputies. broke into Mrs.
Hills room last Friday, declares he is
somewhat puzzled. When he returned
to Rockville he found in his mall q
letter from Mrs. Hill mailed just
prior to his visit to her house. IN
which she invited him to come, de-
clarIng she was afraid OF no one:
that her colors are the red. white
and blue that don't run" The letter
was sealed with an American nag
seal. Sheriff Gauthier declares the
welcome had been rubbed OF the mat

and Mrs. Claus Hexom and Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Wooley, each about 10
years old, disappeared from their
homes unaccountably yesterday aft
