ARREST IS MADE.
IN PURCELL
Staying
Maryland Police Hold Man
Wanted Here for Attack on
Policemen.

John T. Slaughter, colored, thirty
four years of age, was arrested to-
day by Maryland authorities, on
complaint OF the Washington police
who have issued q warrant charging
the man with implication in the
staying Of Policeman John Purcell,
on the night OF October 10.
The Staying occurred in a dark
alley in the rear Of the Bell School,
First street and Virginia avenue
southwest. At the same time
Purcell was slain, another police.
man, II. r. Crawford, was shot in
the abdomen, and is still at Cas-.
ualty Hospital In a critical condi-
ton.
The Staying occurred when Pur-
cell and Crawford, both colored,
cornered five negroes in the alley,
who were attempting to break into
a garage where liquor was reported
to have been stored.
Slaughter is being brought to
Washington this afternoon. He
was arrested at Monkey Hollow,
Nd after. being Swallowed for the
past week.
With the arrest Of Slaughter to-
day, police believe they have in
custody all of those implicated in
the killing.

ASKED To
RULE ON lie
DETECT0R'
Decision Sought on Legality Of
It's Use in Trial Of DR..
Brown Slayer.

The question whether a '''lie de-
tector," which its inventor claims
is infaIlible in determining by its
oscillations whether a person is
telling the truth or gentle fib.
q plain faIsehood or q bold lie Is
being told, has any standing in law
and should be admitted as a de.
ternining factor in a court Of law,
Is up for the decision Of the Dis
trict Court Of Appeals.
The case in which the question
was raised is that Of James AL
phonso Frye, who was convicted Of
second-degree murder In connection
with the death November 49, 1920,
Of DR.. Robert Brown, a wealthy
colored physician, whom he shot
and killed at his residence, 1897
Eleventh street northwest. The nc.
cused was sentenced to a life term
in the penitentiary.
Lie DetectOtr Refused.
It was during the trial that the
Of the "psygonameter," or lie de-
tector, said to have been perfected
by DR.. William M. Marston, IT., a
scientist who some time ago was
arrested on a charge of alleged
fraudulent use of the mails. An ap.
peal was taken on the ground that
the lower court refused the intro
duction Of the lie detector as an in
strument OF law, the court at the
time stating that the invention had
not yet been sufficiently perfected to
prove of legal value.
In a brief submitted by the &C.
cused's attorneys to the Court Of
Appeals they claim that when a
person is telling the truth he is
in a mental state or condition of
truth, and that when he Is telling
q falsehood he Is in a mental con.
dition or state Of deception.
The argument is advanced that
II the testimony of an alienist as
to ones mental condition is per-
mitted in court, there is no valid
reason why the testimony Of a lie
detector expert should not also be
admitted.
Only As Evidence.
1--WE disclaim any intention of
attempting to substitute the opin-
ion Of the expert in the place of
the opinion of the jury" says at
torney for the accused, ''but his
testimony Is offered in the same
way and for the same purpose as
the testimony Of any other expert,
the weight to be determined by the
fury"

CHECK IS MADE
ON JEWELRY
TAX
Bureau Of Internal Revenue Is
Making Nationwide Sur
vey on Returns.

The local office Of the Internal
Revenue Bureau today is complet-
ing a check-up on all stores in Wash
ington which sell jewelry. The activ-
ity Of the Washington office is the
part Of a nationwide drive for the
collection Of delinquent taxes on the
sale Of jewelry and to compel the
prompt filing of returns.
Conditions in Washington are re.
ported as good. An investigator has
visited more than 100 stores and re-
ports that all Of them have been
making the proper returns within the
specified time.
Instructions have been given to
the Washington office to impose pen
alties wherever disregard or evasion
Of the law is disclosed. A survey in
q few widely scattered cities shows
that large percentage OF stores
have failed to pay the s per cent sale
tax.
Practically all goods carried by
regular jewelers. and those who have
jewelry as a side line are subject to
the tax. This includes pawnbrokers.
