RESULTS
IN Staying
CHARGE.
Montgomery County Youth
Held in $1,000 Bond at
Rockville.

ROCKVILLE, Md. April IRE
ceiving information Thursday eve
ming that Clarence NJ. Griffith, a
prominent resident of the upper sec.
ton of Montgomery county, who
died in a Washington hospital on
Tuesday as result of injuries sus-
tanned in a fall about week before,
had made a dying statement in
which he indicated that J. Lawrence
Burdette, leading amateur baseball
pitcher of the county, and last year
the mainstay in the box of the
Boyds team of the Montgomery
County League, was responsible for
his fatal injuries, States Attorney
John A. Garrett ordered an investi.
cation, and several hours later
Sheriff Clay Plummer placed Bur-
.dette under arrest.
Taken before States Attorney
Garrett, Burdette at first stoutly de-
MED all responsibility for Griffith's
injuries, but, after virtually an 1li-
night grilling, made a statement, the
authorities claim, in which he said
that he and his father, John Bur-
dette, and Griffith had spent some
time drinking hard cider at a house
two miles from Boyds, and while on
their way home he and Griffith had
words about a trivial matter and
blows were struck. The wrangling
was kept up, he is reported to have
until the trio reached a
point a short distance west of BoydS,
along the Baltimore and Ohio rail-.
way tracks, when hostilitieS were re-
newed. While he and Griffith were
graphing, the latter fell down q
steep ten-foot embankment and
landed on the railroad track. He
and his father helped the injured
man home, with no idea he was
seriously hurt.
In his dying statement, Griffith is
understood to have stated. that Bur
dette knocked him down the bank.
A charge of murder was preferred
against Burdette yesterday, and in
the afternoon he was released ON
bond of 81, 900 after States Attorney
Garrett and Judge Robert Peter had
conferred.
Burdette is about twenty.four
years old and unmarried. Griffith
was fifty-eight years of age, and
leaves wife, two daughters, and
two sons.
Because the marriage license clerk
here erred in the form of oath al
ministered to William f. Thompson,
a young resident of Gaithersburg,
when he obtained license on March
2S, last, to marry Miss Virginia L.
Mobley, also of Gaithersburg, the
young man was acquitted in the eli.
cult court here of a. charge Of
perjury.
The indictment charged that
Thompson gave the girls age as
nineteen when he knew her to he
several years younger, but 1t was
shown that the elicense clerk, in
swearing him at the time he OBJ
tanned the license, used words which
were, in effect, an oath thar tho
questions and not the answers 10
the questions asked were true.
\ Former States Attorney Thomas
L. Dawson, who represented the de-
PENDANT, raised the point that
Thompson had not sworn one way
or the other concerning the girls
age. and the court promptly agreed
with him.
Although the license was issued,
the marriage did not take place be.
cause the parents of the girl got
wind of what was up and took steps
to prevent the ceremony being per.
formed.

Daugherty Probers to DeIye

ton as Attorney General, seeking
to trace the source Of liquor,
brought to the famous Little
Green House on X street." Is plan
ming to delve into the liquor scandal
here in 1921 which resulted in the
demotion of Detective .Sergeants
Frank Bauer and Thomas Sweeney,
assigned to headquarters here, to
,privates in the police department.
Bauer and Sweeney acted as
guards to nearly 500 galolns of no.
proof whiskey which was removed
from a distillery at Westminster,
Md, to the Russian Embassy here.
Morgan ]. McInerney, special
agent Of the Department OF Justice,
and chauffeur to President Coolidge
when he was vice president, has
been summoned from Atlanta, Ga,
to tell what he knows about the
liquor removal.
McInerney at that time was en-
pIoyed by the Eagle Transfer Com.
pany. This company sold a truck
to the embassy and McInerney was
engaged to drive 1t to Westminster.
Md. In the party which went to
the Maryland town and which re-
turned to Washington with the
liquor were said to be:
Major i'm Party.
John NJ. Major, .right-hand man
of Edward B. Mclean, publisher
of The Washington Post.
McInerney, who acted as a
chauffeur.
Frederick J. Haske, chief clerk
Of the Russian Embassy.
Detectives Bauer and Sweeney.
The liquor is said to have been
delivered to the embassy here. The
committee is seeking to learn OF
the disposal Of the liquor after it
reached the embassy, All Of those
who took the trip to Westminster
are expected to be subpoanaed. The
committee is expected to dig into
this affair early next week.
The party left Washington on
February "a and returned to the
city February 26. They stopped at
a hotel at Westminster.
Oyster Asks Probe.
It was not until some months
after the liquor trip to Maryland
was made that Commissioner James
F. Oyster learned that two mem
bers Of the police department acted
as guards. He ordered an i'm.
mediate investigation.
This inquiry it is said revealed
that there was nothing unlawful in
removing the liquor, inasmuch as
the Russian Embassy had obtained
a permit from the Commissioner Of
Prohibition.
The Commissioner, however. felt
that Bauer and Sweeney should not
have engaged in such an affair and
reduced them to privates. Both
men were on leave at the time they
acted as guards. Bauer was later
restored to a headquarters detec-
tive and retired. Sweeney was also
restored in his old job and he is
still a detective sergeant.
