CLAIM
Ex-Deputy Sheriff Humphrey,
Serving Term, Is Innocent,
J. c. Stafford Says.

Charging that former Deputy
Sheriff Everett E. Humphrey, Of
Prince George county, was the
victim of a "frame-up" to kill
him politically, friends of Pun
phrey today declared that power
full influences would be brought
to bear to clear him Of the stigma
which has attached to his name
through his conviction on a charge
Of substituting prisoners at the
Marlboro Jail.
Prisoner Clears Humphrey.
Armed with an affidavit from
Grover c. Hall, who was substi.
tuted in the Marlboro Jail for J. C..

deputy sheriff are planning to go
to Baltimore tomorrow and lay be.

evidence of Humphreys innocence
Hall. who has just finished a
flve-month term for his part In
tarily appeared before Pumphrey's
friends in this city and told them
that Humphrey knew nothing Of the
substitution.
II had agreed with Stafford to
serve in his place. and he said
he was going to pay me well. He
took me to. the Jail as a sort Of a
valet for himself. then he walked
out and I began serving his SEN
tence. Humphrey did not know any
thing about the transaction" Hall
asserted today.
Accused Is In jail.
Humphrey is now serving six
| months sentence in the Baltimore
city Jail for his alleged part in the
conspiracy.
| Sheriff Sweeney, who was indicted
as one of the participants, has never
been brought TO trial, Hall charged.
Charles Tayman, a cousin OF
Sheriff Sweeney's, Is the jailer at
Marlboro. Both are connected with
the reigning political ring In Prince
Georges county. and they are said
to have the upper hand" In MARI
boro politics. >
| At the time Of Humphreys trial
Hall was not given an opportunity
to testify. Had he done so, 1t Is
charged, he would have offered
evidence purporting to clear the
deputy sheriff Of any guilt.
| j. G. Stafford, the man for whom
Hall was to have substituted, had
been sentenced to five months for
alleged violation of the prohibition
law. He Is now serving that SEN
tence, as well as one for his part

Hall duplicates Jailer.
That Tayr1an, Marlboro jailer.

charge made by Hall.

STAFFORD went to the jail they had
an arrangement that Hall was to
stay in Stafford's cell with him.
and was to act as handy man
Tor Stafford. Sweeney denied on
the stand that he had any knowl-
edge Of Hall being in the same
cell with Stafford.
Humphrey, according to a friend
here who. wished to remain un-
identified, was about to file his
candidacy for sheriff when he
was framed" 1t was charged.

Demand is made by the executives
Of the board that Congress initiate
thorough investigation of the gen.
eral statements that "a ring exists"
and "once and for all set at rest
these rumors. II false, or bring into
full view the nature and character
Of any such combine. IL it ac-
tually exists
Never Proved. They Say.
The point was made today by the
officials that this is not the first
time that the ring charges nave
been Haunted in the press and that
inasmuch as they have never been
backed up with specific facts. the
circulation Of the rumors are kept
fresh in the public mind and tend
to discredit real estate operators
and owners as a body.
President Weldon, of the ]. C.
Weldon Company. a veteran real
tor, declared today that he has
never in his life even entertained a
suspicion that ring" or Clique
of real estate men or owners ex-
listed in this city for. the purpose
of influencing or fixing the scale
of prevailing rents. =.
IF ring exists here, I would
certainly like to know the facts, and
! believe that It is up to Congress
to uncover them or cease from
seriously entertaining such general
charges as were made yesterday"
he said.
Petty Gives Statement.
Urged to give the viewpoint Of
Washington real estate men on the
charges, Executive Secretary Petty,
Of the board. made public the fol.
lowing statement:
I'm my capacity as executive
secretary Of the Washington Real
Estate Board and during my eigh-
teen years experience in the local
real estate business. have never
seen nor heard of any combination
of owners or builders formed for
the purpose of fixing or controlling
rents or rent levels. The Washing
ton Real Estate Board already is on
record with the Senate District COM
mittee, having addressed a letter
to Senator Ball some weeks ago,
offering to cooperate to the fullest
extent in assisting the committee
In determining whether such q com.
sbination exists in Washington.
Such rumors are made from
time to time and given considerable
prominence in the local press and
1t would beathe best thing possible
to-; have Congress- thoroughly inves-
stigate the whole subject once and
for all. so as to set at rest these
rumorse IL false or to bring into
full view the nature and Character
of any such combine. II It actually
exists.
Board Wants Facts.
1.-THE fundamental purpose of the
Washington Real Estate Board is
to maintain among real estate brok.
ers a high standard Of ethical prac-
tice in the conduct Of their bust.
ness and to render the public EFF.

In handling real estate transactions.
With these purposes In mind Il win
