In anticipation of difficulty in securing
jury to try Guy Vernon Thompson, under
indictment in the Circuit Court here for the
murder of James Bolton and two children,
who were killed when Bottoms home, near
Germantown. was blown up on November
18th, Sheriff George E. Nicholson has, by
direction of Judge Peter, summoned rs
talsmen to be present in court here this
morning, when Thompson's trial will begin.
They are to stand by" in case they are
needed. According to John A. Garrett,
Thompson's attorney, insanity will not be
the contention of the defense, as has been
suggested. Thompson, so Mr.. Garrett de-
clares, insists that he is innocent of the
crime with which he is charged, and the
defense will be along that line.
Mr.. Henry Jewell Broadly. of Baltimore,
has purchased 326 acres Of land from Mr..
j. S. Tomlinson. the founder of Cabin John
Park, which lies just west of Cabin John
Bridge, in this county. The tract pur-
chased is traversed by the Conduit Road
and will be divided into 2,400 building
lots 50xl00 feet. 1t adjoins Cabin John
Park on the West. The two tracts formerly
composed what is known as the Bowling
farm" A plat Of this new subdivision is
now being made by County Surveyor Chas
j. Maddox and will be finished as soon as
practicable. to be followed by beautifying
the ground and the erection of many houses.
Mr.. Broadly is brother Of Mr.. Calvin Broadly,
of this county, lawyer by profession and
a successful promoter Of enterprises in
other sections of the country such as he
is about to undertake here. With the large
financial backing that he has the new
park will. without doubt, be one Of the
most picturesque and prosperous on the
Potomac. The subdivision has not yet
been named.
