MARYLAND MOVES
IN EAGLAN'S CASE
Requisition for Return of
Former Caddy Presented to
D. c. Supreme Court. y

Sheriff William L. Aud of Mont
gomery county. Md, today presented
to Justice Stafford, acting chief JUS
tice of the District Supreme Court, a
requisition of Gov. Harrington of
Maryland for the return to Rockville
OF Forest Eaglan, alias wooden
head" on a charge of assaulting Miss
Mary Saunders. a War Department
employe, July 5.
Hearing on August S.
Justice Stafford directed the is
suance of a warrant to United States
Marshal Splain to bring Eaglan be-
fore the court for a hearing August
S, when Sheriff Aud and States At
torney Albert M. Bouic will present
witnesses to identify Eaglan and to
show that the accused was in the
alleged assault.
Both Maryland officials werec onfident
today that Miss Saunders will be able to
identify her assailant, at least sufficient
ly, when the other evidence is heard,
to establish the fact that Eaglan is
the man wanted.
Future Proceedings.
Should the identity be established, the
justice will order the return of the
prisoner to Maryland. Counsel for
Eaglan, in that event, would probably
sue out writ of habeas corpus and put
the Maryland officials to a proof of the
charge against Eaglan.
No Indictment has been reported
against the former caddy, the requisi-
ton being based merely on aff1davits.
One of the affidavits is signed by the
victim. who says that the accused
'isfof the same color, the same size,
the same age and of the same general
resemblance of the negro who at
tempted to assault her"
Sheriff Aud is named in the requi-
sition as the agent of the state to
whom the prisoner is to be surren-
dered.

him that the boys OF Great Britain
equally would have to go-indeed the
boys OF every part Of the far-fiung
British empire--as well as the boys
of France and Italy and Spain and
Brazil and those Of half a hundred
other nations; and that Bulgaria. in

after all 1t would be more profitable
to submit whatever differences she
may have with Rumania to the ar
bitrament of the executive council of
