PERMISSION GRANTED TO
SHOOT WILD FOWL ON LAKE
Garrett County Sportmen May
Try Their Luck on Waters of
Deep Creek This Year.

Permission to shoot wild fowl from
the shores of Deep Creek Lake and its
tributaries between November 1 and
January 81 has been granted by Sweep
son Earle, Conservation Commissioner
of Maryland, and E. Lee LeCompte,
State Game Warden, according to a
letter received recently from the office
Of the Commission by The Republican.
Sportsmen of Garrett county asked
for this privilege last year, but ow-
ing to the fact that the lease between
the corporation owning the property
and the Conservation Department,
made no provision for this matter. the
request was refused.
Below is the letter from the depart
ment to The Republican,:
Baltimore, Nd, Oct. 26, 1927.
To the Editor of The Republican,
Oakland, Md,
Dear Sir: During the fall of 1926,
quite a demand was made on the Con-
servation Commissioner of Maryland
from the sportsmen of Garrett county
for permission to hunt wild fowl on
the waters Of Deep Creek Lake, this
demand being brought about by the
number of ducks which were attracted
to that section by reason of the i'm
mensity of the water area in said lake.
At that time the lease between the
corporation owning the property and
the Conservation Department made no
provision for this matter, and it was
impossible to grant the request of the
sportsmen.
The Conservation Commissioner this
season, with the cooperation of the
corporation owning the property, now
has the power to grant said permits
sion, and to those interested notice is
hereby given that hunting of wild fowl
will be lawful from the shores of Deep
Greek Lake and tributaries between
November 1 and January 81, inclu-
sive, daily, except Sunday from one
half hour before sunrise to one-halt
hour after sunrise, except the shore
line between the State road bridge and
the Narrows bridge on the east side
of the lake, which is a game refuge
where it will be unlawful to hunt any
species of game with gun or dog at
any time.
While hunting from the shore is
permissible, hunting from boats Of
any description is positively prohib-
tied. Dead ducks, however, may be
recovered by boats propelled by oars
Very truly yours,
SWEPSON EARLE,
Conservation Commissioner.
E. LEE LECOMPTE,
State Game Warden.

league should function perfectly"

CAR SAVES w A. KOELKER

dict of Not Guilty.

Demonstrating to the satisfaction
of the Court that he could not operate
a motor car gave William A. Koelker,

not guilty in the paternity case con-
Quoted against him by States Attor-
ney William A. Hustler, on the testi-
mony of Carrie May Beeler, Of Oak
land, in the Circuit Court last Friday
morning.
The tide of evidence was strongly
against Koelker until near the close
of the case, the Court admitting be-
ing impressed with the evident truth
and straighforwardness of the State s
star witness, Miss Beeler. The Court
then said that it would render YER
dict of guilty or not guilty, according
to the burden of evidence concerning
Rockers ability to drive car, since
the offense was, according to the tes-
timony, committed while the defen-
dant and the witness were enroute
from Oakland to Frostburg in an au-
tomobile.
Rockers Wife Supports Accused
Attorney Harry R. Donnelly then
produced several witnesses, among
them Rockers wife who testified to
! his inability to drive. The accused also
offered in support of his case the
fact that he had never applied for a
drivers license, though he said he
said he had operated tractors while in
the Army.

State attempted to show that Miss
Swami had used the monkey to break
the brick, and then arranged them to
look as though Mosser had thrown one
of the pieces at her.
Joseph Friend and w. A. Gender al
so testified to seeing the bricks and
brick dust on the monkey wrench. L.
D. Shank was put on the stand again
and identified the bricks.
Mondays Testimony.
Practically all of Mondays session
was spent in examining the States
witnesses-thirty-two in number, al
though only half of them testified.
Forced to Shoot"
The defense contended that Miss
Swami shot Mosser only after she had
been provoked into doing it. Early
on the morning of May 26, it was
stated, Mosser came to the farm at
Swanton, which Miss Swami leased
from him, and demanded entrance to
the house. When he was refused, it
was claimed, he endeavored to force
the door and threw a brick at her.
His vile language and threatening
manner, the defense asserted, forced
her to shoot, without aiming, in order
to brighten him away.
Chief Judge D. Lindley Sloan and
Associate Judge Albert A. Doub were
on the bench.
Defendant Calm.
A graduate of Mercy Hospital of
Baltimore, Miss Swami, who has had
considerable nursing experience, came
to this section several years ago for
her health. When she appeared in
court Monday, evidence of the term
she spent in Jail showed plainly on
her face. However, she seemed other
wise to be in excellent health and took
a deep interest in the trial. She was
calm and smiled family at the testi-
mony offered by the various witnesses.
She was dressed neatly in black
dress and brown hat, with string Of
pearls around her neck. Her only sis
ter, Mrs. Nellie Bussey, of Baltimore,
sat beside her during the trial.
