Gamble is concluded will be made by
Judge william Cloth, counsel for
Kathleen Burgess.
Failing to have the case called for
trial. Judge Cloth will resort to
habeas corpus proceedings in an eff
fort to have the Burgess woman re-
leased from the Alexandria county
jail.
There is absolutely nothing on
which they can hold this girl" Judge
Cloth told The Times representative.
"She merely was a victim of circum-
stances. can secure her freedom
merely by using the statement of
Commonwealth Attorney Frank Ball
before the jury yesterday"
During the course Of his state
ment to the jury, Mr.. Ball said. among
other things, that when Gamble and
Robert L Newman, the other soldier
implicated in the killing of the WASH
ington jitney driver, proposed that
they get him out of town and take his
life that the Burgess girl objected and
threatened to return to her home in
Laurel. Nd.
Mr.. Ball further said that after the
jitney driver had been done to death
on the Alexandria county roadside
that Kathleen Burgess became hys-
terical and berated the soldiers. At
that, Mr.. Ball said, the woman was
threatened with the same fate.
"The girls conditi Dns demands that
she be given attention in her home"
Judge Cloth said today, and there
is no justice in holding her In jail"

Armstrong denied that Gamble had

Detective Grant. who prepared the con-
feSSion that Gamble signed. testified that
he used only facts given by Gamble him.
SELF. Gamble, he said, came int0-a room
at Richmond, where he was and asked:
II Robert should say that you seOry was
untrde and that you had murdered a
man and then robbed him and made on
with his automobile. what would you
say?'
Grant quoted Gamble as saying:
Newman wouldn't say any such
thing"
But suppose he did say it?" Grant
said he asked him.
az would say il was a lie,'" he
said Gamble replied.
Grant then said he exhibited New
mans signed confession, in which
Newman admitted striking werres,
but claimed that Gamble had struck
the fatal blow with a bar of iron

that of the ,jitney driver. 1t gNNs ad-
mitted as evidence. The deed mans
stick pin and ring, taken from him
after the recovery of his body, were

the Commonwealth attorney, that
Werres had been struck in the chest
after having his head crushed.

sat erect and indifferent to the pro-
ceedinEs, has begun to take livery
