4 IDENTIFY BOY
SLAYER
Times staff Photo

Vivid memories of what they saw
along a roadway at Salem, Mass.
six years ago, have caused three
women and a boy to identify Carl
Panzram as the man who was with
12-year-old Henry Mcmahon when
he was lured to his death in a
berry pasture.
Panzram, who is being held at the
District jail on housebreaklng
charges. recently made confession
outlining his record as child MUIR
derer. His own story, however, was
not taken with entire seriousness by
the police until Identification came
yesterday.
Photograph Identified
A life.sized photograph of PAM
ram was sent to Salem by the police
and yesterday Walter Cream, COM
panion of the murdered lad; Mrs.
Bertha NJ. Luxton, of Marolehead;
Mrs. Theresa c. Parsons and Mrs.
Margaret Cream all declared posi-
lively that the picture was that of
a man seen with young Mcmahon
just before his death.
All four spoke of the profile, the
eyes, the shape of the head, as that

basement.
Esterline went to his office from
his apartment in the Benedict at

spending the entire day at work.

who was operating the elevator, told
the police that The elevator bell on
the fifth floor rang at 1880 o'clock
and that in answering it he carried
the lift to the floor above by acci.
dent.
Head Crushed
He expressed the belief that
Esterline did not see the cage pass
by him and then opened the door,
trying to see where it was.

a certificate of accidental death on
the facts as related by Maher and
by E. r. MayhaIl, of the 100 block

FREDERICK, Md, Oct. -.
The jury which viii decide
whether or not Samuel 7.
Robertson, Bethesda building
contractor, murdered Edward
L. Mills, Montgomery county
dairy farmer, early on the
morning of July Z, 1927, is
composed Of u middle-aged
Frederick county citizens.
Selection OF the jury was COM
pleted within an hour and a halI
after the trial opened here today
in circuit court before Judges Hani-
mond Urner and John s. Newman.
The twslve men who compose the
jury were-selected from among
forty-three talismen who answered
to their names in court.
First 5 Rejected
The defense counsel exercised
nineteen of their twenty peremp-
tory challenges while the State used
seven of the ten allowed by law.
Five of the talismen were ex-
cused by the court when they failed
to qualify under the law. Two or
these three stated that they did
not believe in capital punishment,
while the other declared that he
had formed an opinion in the caSe.
Selection of the jurors dragged
along very slowly at first. The first
five talismen were rejected on
challenges of defense counsel and
out of the first panel OF twelve
men only three were selected.
All of the questioning Of the
talismen was done by Judge Urner.
who asked them whether they had
formed any opinion; were they re-
lated to either Robertson or Mills
and were they opposed to capital
Except for the five who were
excused by the judge, the answers
of all the prospective jurors were
in the negative on each Of these
questions.
1t was difficult to determine on
what ground the opposing counsel
rejected some and selected others.
Neither side asked any questions.
Eliminate Young Men.
It seemed, however, that defense
counsel were eliminating the young.
apparently between the ages Of 10
and IS.
The names of the jurors are:
Joseph Hilldebrand. John F. Long.
Charles d. Wood, Charles +. Ro-
Charles A. Siffords
Claude c. Lewis, H. c. Boone, ]. Al.
vim Fox. Harry c. Crum, Joseph 4.
Kaufman, j. William Gaver and
Elias E. Shipley.
The courtroom was crowded long
before court convened. Most Of the
spectators were men.
One of the early groups to or.
rive was Mrs. Robertson and her
four children ranging in age from
2 to II years.
While court was in session the
two youngest ones near babies, ran
and played around the courtroom
evidently without the slightest real
ization of the trouble which has
visited their family.

This was the verdict of the corners
jury today after it had heard testi-
mony from Joseph M. Browne, ele-
vator inspector Of the District Gov
eminent. indicating that the respon-
sibility for the tragedy rested upon
the Federal authorities. who had
twice been notified that the proper
safety devices had not been installed
on the shaft.
Twice Notified Grant
Browne declared that he had twice
notified the office of Col. u. S.
Grant. Third. superintendent OF
public buildings and parks. of the
lack of safety devices in the eleva-
tors of the Department of Justice
building. which is owned by the
Wardmah Construction Company.
The verdict OF the coroner's jury
was that Esterline came to his death
through the carlessness of A. party
or parties unknown to the jury for
not equipping the elevator door with
the safety devices required by law"
Esterline's skull was crushed when
the defending lift struck him Both
legs were broken by the fall and
his lungs were caved in, testimony
from physicians at the inquest
showed.
The door OF the elevator shaft
at the fifth floor landing was open
apparently, and Esterline. leaving
his office at 1870 o'clock last night,
peered down II In an effort to
see where the cage was stopped. 4

Entering the store. Chaplin, ac-
cording to Irving Sirota, proprietor.
walked to the counter and in a
menacing manner, his coat pocket
bulging with what appeared to be
a gun, demanded Jack
Sirota later told police that the
man appeared to be befuddled and
apparently under the influence of
some sort of stimulant. When
some change was offered him. the
would-be bandit is said to have
waved it aside telling Cirota to put
that back in the cash register"
After standing and eying his
victim for several seconds Chaplin,
the druggist stated turned and ran
from the store, standing on the
corner, where he endeavored to stop
several machines
The teird attempt to get lift
was successful in making the mo-
torist stop but resulted In Chaplin s
falling into the tolls Of the law.

Gus, Mrs. Lila Smith, 48, was
severely burned in a fire which
Quilted her home in the 200
block of Eighth st. N. E.,
shortly after l a. m. today,
and is in Casualty Hospital In
a serious condition.
Her husband, Sidney l.. Smith. 81,
is being held at the Ninth precinct
for investigation. When arrested by
police he was being treated by physi.
clans in front of the house. having
suffered burns on the hands.
Mrs. Smith was rescued from the
second-story window of her bedroom,
the fire having spread rapidly from
the first floor. The police are now
checking UP on the husbands story
of how he happened to leave the
house before making sure that his
wife was safe.
The home is owned by DR.. Joseph
Rogers, superintendent of Casualty
Hospital He purchased it recently
from the Smiths. who have occupied
it for 20 years. The loss Is fully
covered by insurance. Smith Is SAID
to have been a former employe OF
the Southern Railway.
The house had little furniture IN
1t, but more than 100 fruit jars were
found by the police.

Seventh precinct station, was on
his way heane when he noticed
Chaplin waving wildly at all motor
lists who passed him. Pulling into
the curb the officer noticed Sirota
and a clerk, Frank Bruno, in the
door of the store. Both men shouted
that Chaplin had attempted to hold
them up.
Chapin. according to Bridges,
made no resistance but readily ac-
companied him to the station house.
Chaplin had nothing on him that
could be called a dangerous weapon
police say.
Blames IL On Rum
The prisoner stated that he had
been drinking and did not know
what he had done or what could
have prompted him to try to stage
a daylight holdup, or any other
kind for that matter.
He was later transferred from
the Sixth to the Seventh precinct.
