$500 MURDERER
REWARD CLAIMED
BY TWO PARTIES
Baltimore Detectives Ask
For Entire Sum; Police
man Wants Share. /.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. March TO-
Since the sentence of Robert Robin
son to be hanged April l for the
murder of James Elder Tydings in
April, 1919, has been fully affirmed
by the Maryland Court OF Appeals.
the claimants to the reward of
s2,50O offered by the Anne Arundel
County Commissioners for the ar
rest and conviction of the murderer
are pressing the matter.
That there are conflicting claims
to this reward Is shown by corre-
spondence brought before the COM
missioners on behalf OF the Lancas-
ter and Dougherty Detective Bu-
reau. of Baltimore. and also by r.
d. childress. a policeman of Lynch
burg. Va.
The Baltimore detectives state
that they claim the reward and that
no one else has any claim whatever.
Asserting that they arrested the
murderer and collected and pro-
duced the evidence upon which Rob-
inson was convicted, Mr.. Childress
claims that had II not been for the
information which he gave to the
detectives they would in all prob
ability never have found him. He
claims that he located Robinson at
Forest Depot, Va, and that he per-
sonally made the arrest He thinks
he is entitled to at least one-third
of the reward.

Dahe Jurors live in Ardmore.
States Tactics Clear.
The State, judging by qualifying
questions asked. is going to prevent
the trial of Jake Hamon on what
ever his shortcomings may have
been in his lifetime. Prospective
jurors time and again were asked
IL they were willing to disregard
the life of Jake Hamon and not
try him.
The talemen were reminded by
States counsel that Hamon did not
always regard his family ties with
the sanctity that others might have,
and, as the attorney general termed
IL, did not always kecp the Ten
Commandments. Pointed questions
were asked veniremen. The prose-
cution wanted to know IL the pros
pective jurors believed that the
law was made for all. binding on
all alike"
The State is not hiding the fact
that it seeks to try this case solely
on its merits and that sympathy
should have no place in the con-
sideration of a verdict in the case
of Clara Smith.
The State fully realizes that il
is greatly Handicapped with a wom-
IN as a defendant. especially in
this county. where persons charg-
ed with murder are not always
easy TO convict. Only one sentence
to life imprisonment has been i'm
posed for murder in Carter County
in the last year and that was
early this week
1t is indicated at this early stage
of the trial that the prosecution is
perfectly willing to confine the is
sues to things that actually trans
pired between Hamon and Clara
Smith on the Sunday afternoon in
November in the Randolph Hotel
when he was shot.
Throughout the long afternoon
the courtroom was crowded to ca
pacity.
The widow of Jake Hamon, dress
ed in black and wearing a heavy
veil of mourning draped from her
hat, entered the court room short
ly after 3 O'Clock. She took her
seat opposite Clara Smith on the
States side of the counsel table.
Accompanying the widow were her
two children. Olivebell. a daughter,
and Jake. jr.; her father. Jasper
Perkins. of Chicago; a sister, Mrs.
Olive Shepard, and husband, o. H.
