CLUES FAIL
To GIANT
SUSPECT

-
With members OF the homo
eide squad divided as to the
manner in which Charles Leop
Smith, SO years old, of ga
Tenth st. S. E., was slain last
night, police are no nearer
solution of the case than they
were IL hours ago.
Mrs. Mary Agnes Garvin,
SO, of 1862 Quincy st. N. E.,
who was with Smith at the
time of the Staying, and who
was herself slashed across her
abdomen by a knife or razor,
holds to her story that she was
attacked by giant negro while
near the New York Avenue
bridge, and that Smith was
killed when he went to her
rescue.
Mrs. Garvin is under arrest in
Casualty Hospital. Her husband,
Sergeant Michael Garvin, of Boiling
Field. and her son, william Jeffer.
son Anderson, IA years old, also
are being detailed by the police.
Detectives Sweeney and Waldron
were today searching for a taxi cab
driver who was said to have taken
Smith and Mrs. Garvin to the
southeast section of the city and
then to the bridge. near the DIS.
trict asphalt plant at Florida ave-
nue. and Third street, N. E.
1t was learned that Mrs. Garvin
made several attempts to have her
son bring a blanket from the family
home, but that the boy could not
leave the place until $50 o'clock
without being intercepted by the
step-father.
The boy told the police that
Smith had been with his mother
all Of Tuesday night and yester.
day. and that they only left the
house because Garvin was due to
return from his post at Boiling
Field.
Edward Vincent, Waterman at the
District asphalt plant, at Third
Street and Florida Avenue North
east, informed police that Mrs. Gar,
win and Smith came to the office Of
the plant and asked to use the teIe-
phone.
He did not hear the conversation,
he said, but the couple waited. and.
short time later, the son appeared.

Although the Weather Bureaus

SUNSHINE mary
LOVED OPERA
By WILLIAM MOORE

Out of the dim recesses of
memory today came a flood OF
"reminiscences Of Sunshine Mary
the venerable dispenser of news
papers and good cheer. who died
yesterday at her home. 1921 c
st. N. W..
Sunshine Mary"--her real name
was Mrs. Margaret D. Bailey. but
few knew that--simply radiated
good will. No one knew that deep
down in her heart she harbored q
tragedy which. it is said. caused
her to forsake a career in light
opera for the mental task Of selling
papers.
Woman of Mystery
Mary was a woman of mystery.
Reporters, ever on the lookout for
an opportunity to pierce the veil
of mystery with which the little
old woman had enshrouded herself,
were politely, but firmly rebuffed
when they became too inquisitive.
An interesting sidelight on 'Sun.
shine Mary" which brought out for
the first time her career as a light
DPSto was ASSColCu
four years ago. At that time /
was music critic for The Wash.
ington Times.
One day. while purchasing a
paper at her stand at Thirteenth
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue,
Mary said:
Can you get me pass to hear
The Washingtonians7 play The
tonight"'
Knew Her Opera
/ was surprised that Mary should
manifest interest in a Gilbert and
production, and said as
much,
Mary informed me, with rare
modesty, that she herself had once
sang in light opera, specializing in
Gilbert and Sullivan. Warming up
to her subject, she said:
"Out in Los Angeles, when was a.
young wcman, sang in 'Pinefore.'
Sure, Z had leading part-Little
Buttercup. And the critics said I
did the part to perfection, too"
why did you sacrifice an operate
career to -?" Here halted.
But Mary continued:
to sell newspapers?"
!. nodded.
= THAT my boy, is something you
or nobody else will ever know. 1t is
a secret. II l told you it wouldn't
he secret, would it?" Her face lit
up with one of her rare smiles as
she continued arranging her papers
in order.
That night Sunshine Mary" was
perhaps the most enraptured auditor
the Washingtonians had at their pro-
ductlon of The Mikado."
