SNOWDEN WITNESS
SEEKS RETIREMENT.
Deputy Marshal House Of Bal
timore Was Charged In Trial
With Third Degree"
IS A FINE OFFICER.
Physical Disability Cause Of
Action. Request Being Con-
sidered By Police Board
of Baltimore.

Deputy Police Marshal Samuel
House, in charge of the Headquarters
Detective Force of Baltimore, who had
general supervision over the investi-
CATION and was a witness in the Bran
don murder case which stirred Anna
polls and the whole State so deeply
last summer. has asked for retirement.
Physical disability forced the Tesig-
nation.
For the past 10 years Deputy Mar
shall House has been under the care of
surgeons and physicians. He under
went a number of major operations.
Most of the advance work in the de-
partment requiring skill was delegat-
ed to the Deputy Marshal.
Sam" House as he is generally
known, was one of the men charged
by John Snowden, the convicted muir
derer of Mrs. Brandon, with having
third degreed" him in an effort to
force a confession Immediately after
the negro had been arrested and TAX
en- to Baltimore Police Headquarters
for safe keeping. This was during the
trial of the famous case at Towson in
January lie charge was denied on
the witness stand by House and by
Marshal Carter.
House had a reputation in Balti-
more of being able to do more with
negro cases than any man on the force
because of his belief that except in
rare cases kindness would elicit more
from cOlored persons than fear and
man-handling. 1t was this fair
treatment to negroes that caused him
to capture Ike" Winder, a notorious
negro murderer who caused a furore
in Baltimore County II years ago.

Both British and German tanks

The Germans made a determined
attempt to rush towards KENNEL

Washington. April 25.-Repeated
declarations of the German emperor

and assertions from the same sources
that Germany was taken by surprise
by the Russian mobilization. attaches
particular interest to certain papers
taken from Captain Won Papen, late

is that this letter was written March

reads:

several railway trains were blown up
