GRID STAR NABS
MARAUDER

When Willie Thornton, q negro,
who, police say, has made a spe-
cialty Of robbing fraternity houses,
visited the Phi Alpha Delta House
Of Georgetown University, 211l Ban.
croft Pl. N. W., early this morn
ing, he hardly expected to arouse
two former giant football stars from
Marquette University, Robert Fink
and Mark Wilmer. He did, how
ever, and made the mistake Of try.
ing to fight his way out.
For the past few years an elusive
short colored man, has made the
rounds Of the fraternity houses,
usually early in the morning. He
was seen a few times but always
escaped.
This morning Thornton walked
in the front door, took off his hat,
coat and shoes and tip-toed to the
third floor, while everyone slept.
He had taken about $40 in money
when he stumbled into the room
Of Fink and Wilmer.
Wilmer, pretending to be asleep,
watched him a few minutes, then
dove half way across the room
and grabbed Thornton in flying
tackle. The skirmish lasted very
few minutes.
He was turned over to police Of
the Eighth precinct.

PRO(;TOR'S
ANYER

Recessed over the weekend, the
Busch murder trial win enter its
final week Monday when John f.
McCabe, last of four men charged
with the murder Of Policeman Leo
w. K. Busch last September %.
takes the stand for the completion
of his cross-exanination.
Although he has been completely
exonerated by Nick Eagles, Sam
Moreno, and John Proctor, the three
other men on trial, McCabe yet has
to face the interrogation Of James
B. Archer, veteran attorney repre-
senting Proctor.
Upon completion Of his testimony.
few character witnesses win Be
presented by James A. O'Shea, Me-
Cabe's counsel, following which, II
the Government does not decide to
introduce rebuttal testimony. closing
arguments are expected to be begun.
u. s. witnesses Due
It has been indicated by Assistant
United States District Attorney
George d. Horning, jr., however,
that the prosecution may call a
number Of witnesses to rebut the
testimony OF witnesses for Moreno
and Proctor.
An alienist has testified that
Moreno's mentality did not exceed
that Of an 8-year-old child, while
certain medical testimony in behalf
OF Proctor, who was wounded when
Busch was shot, may be met with
contradictory technical evidence.
At any rate, it Is the general
consensus among trial officials that
the case win reach the jury by late
| Wednesday or early Thursday.
Each side win be given an allotted
time for argument, one attorney to
represent each defendant, while
Assistant United States District At.
torney James j. O'Leary, who has
been assisting Mr.. Horning, prob.
ably will close for the Government.
The Busch trial is peculiarly in.
dividual in almost every phase, but
in courthouse circles the opinion ex-
lists that it is particularly set apa. t
from other and similar cases in that
each Of the four defendants has
maintained separate stories, no two
OF which correspond in all charac-
tertstics.
Case An Odd One
This individuality is further
marked by the sensational develop
ments of yesterday, when Eagles
broke down before the jury and com
fessed he had lied in his testimony
of Thursday when he named Nc.
Cabe as the slayer Of Busch.
Briefly, the several defendants,
each denying he fired at the slain
officer, lay the blame on the other.
Proctor, the first to take the stand,
te4tified "either Moreno or Eagles
fired the fatal shot; Moreno, fol.
lowing him, said Proctor was the
man to fire, with Eagles shooting
second, while Eagles, after having
first said McCabe started the shoot.
ing, admitted he falsely testified,
but swore that he was telling the
truth when he said Proctor shot
