Former Montgomery Attor-
ney's Friends Hope to Free
Him in Four Years

Predictions that John A Gar
rett, former States attorney of
Montgomery county, Nd, and con-
fessed embezzler and forger, will
serve but four years of the
eleven-year sentence imposed upon
him yesterday in the Rockville
court were made today by many
of his friends in the county.
Many of his victims, who be-
fore his trial went to him person
ally and not only forgave him but
offered him financial and legal
assistance, are ready and willing
to sign a petition for his pardon
when he becomes eligible for par
don after one-third of his term
has been served.
Public sympathy for Garrett is
high in Montgomery county and
this feeling was increased today
when it became known that fol-
lowing his arrest he had set about
to convert all his property into a
form in which it could be applied
to make restitution to his victims.

His beautiful home at Bethesda,
six miles from Rockville, which
he is said to have purchased in
h NHTffn 20 Of
the courthouse following his trial,
was transferred to his own posses
sion following his arrest and now
can be disposed of to satisfy his
creditors.
Garrett was on his way to the
Maryland penitentiary at Baltimore
within an hour and a half after
sentence had been imposed yester'
day.
He made no effort to delay his
removal to the penitentiary," said
Sheriff Clay Plummer. "He asked
to be taken to his home at Bethes'
da, where he was with his family
but a few moments"
At CARROTS own request he was
not brought back 70 Rockville but
was Immediately taken to Baltl'
more by automobile, ia the .custo-
dy of Deputy Sheriffs ]. Stanley

He was delivered to Captain Pill
Ter at the penitentiary last night
and was taken to a receiving CELL
where prisoners are held until as
signed to a permanent cell ana
to work. Garrett appeared anX.
ious to learn the prison rules ana
asked what was expected of him.
He was told that the onlya regu'
lation he would have to observe
during the night would be lights
out" at 10 o'clock.
That's fine" Garrett replied.
AS he was locked in his cell, as
Convict No. 29.96S, he called, "Good
night"
Patrick ]. Brady. acting warden,
went to Garrett's cell today ana
explained the prison rules under
which he must live. The former
States attorney and political leader
OF Montgomery county probably
will be assigned as a clerk in the
overall shop, it was stated.
Unless he is paroled or pardoned,

international News Service.


The far-reaching moral effect
of the Government attack on the
''biIlion-dollar" rum business was
reflected today in reports to the
Treasury indicating new activities
not only on the part OF Federal,
but State and municipal law en-
forcement agencies.
State governments which had
let down on enforcement of local
prohibition laws because of the
apparent inexhaustible supply,
have declared war on the rum
traffic, encouraged by the results
obtained by the Federal authori-
ties, the prohibition unit declared.
Cooperation Is Pledged.
New pledges of cooperation have
been received from several COVER
nors who said they were about to
inaugurate special enforcement
campaigns.
"The Federal Government is
manifesting a much stronger de-
termination to enforce the law than
at any time in the past, both on
land and sea-" Wayne B. Wheeler,
chief counsel for the Anti-Saloon
League, declared.
''The effective use Of the pad
lock provisions of the law on land
and the presence OF the fleet on
- hAo
stimulants to prohibition advocates
since the Volstead act went into
effect"
Wheeler said that new life was
entering into enforcement in the
country.
Fleets Being Increased.
Prohibition Commissioner r. A.
Haynes said that the plan Of pass
ing responsibility of enforcement OF
minor phases of the law to the
local authorities had been
success.
He called attention to convictions
and indictments in large number
of conspiracy cases brought
against public officials in the last
few months.
No let.up in federal activities on
land or sea was in prospect, ac-
cording to Treasury officials.
The coast guard Is increasing Its
facilities on the Great Lakes, while
a strong force Of patrol boats is
on the Pacific. Both
and coast guard forces
have been concentrated near the
Canadian and Mexican borders.
Smugglers are showing consider
able activity on the Pacific. Off

Negotiating With Mexico.
Government representatives are
