7 OUTS BLAMED
FOR HOLD-UP

Slight hopes were held out by
Maryland and District police today
that the two masked road agents"
who robbed F. H. Smith, 67-year-old
race horse owner and trainer, after
slugging and kidnapping him, will be
apprehended,
The loss Of $4,000, Smith takes
more or less philosophically, as he
had a profitable season at the
Laurel track.
The veteran racing man says he
was on his way to his stables Sat
urday morning when two highway
men jumped out from points of
concealment near the railroad tracks
on the outskirts Of Laurel and
dubbed him.
He was carried to a waiting auto
mobile and taken to lone spot on
the road near Bowie, Md. There his
clothing was searched and the
money, which represented fair
part OF his Laurel winnings, was
taken from his wallet.
Smith did not notify the Laurel
police until yesterday, saying that
he would not be able to identify the
robbers because they were masked.
He Is OF the opinion that they were
race track touts or hangers.on who
had made study of his personal
habits. knowing it was his custom
to come to his stables early in the
morning with money on his person.
TITS just break of the game" "
Smith said today. He owns such
horses as Sun Flower, Sun Persian,
Fair Rowena and Prickly Heat at
the Dayton farm. He also has two
horses on the Kentucky tracks.

Buddy became violently i'll Sat
urday. Mrs. Bonner bundled the
pet in her arms and drove to the
dog and cat hospital of DR.. /. NJ.
Cashell, 2100 block L st. N. w.
DIR. Cashell found Buddy's VAL
liable life was In the balance. There
was nothing to do but perform a
dangerous caesarian operation. Mrs.
Bonner. who, is secretary Of the
Washington Cat Club, returned to
her home feeling there was practi-
cally no hope for the black-spotted,
gray Persian beauty.
AS DR.. Cashell clipped the fur
from the left side Of his patient. he
explained to young assistant that
comparatively few operations are
performed on cats because they are
unusually susceptible to disease.
When the side had been we'll shaved,
the assistant administered ether.
In less than Is minutes, DR..
Casheli had accomplished a feat
rare in the annals of the veterinary
profession and Buddy was the
proud mother Of three fine kittens.
They soon set up squealing that
indicated they were healthy and
Buddy purred as she never had

ROBERTSONO OUT
$4,000 PAY

A man is presumed to be innocent
until proven guilty Of a crime,
according to the law. At the same
time the accused must manage his
own defense, even to the point of
financial ruin in order to establish
his own innocence.
This at least seems to have been
the experience of Samuel T. Rob-
ertson. acquitted Saturday at Fred.
erick of the Staying of Edward l..
Mills, Of Bethesda.
According to Robertson he has
spent in excess of $4,000 since the
day he was arrested and held in
connection with the death of Mills.
Four houses that he had under
construction went to pay the heavy
expense of attorneys and experts
brought from New York to counter
the charges of the State. While
exonerated he has been compelled
to spend his private fortune to
establish that innocence with which
a man is supposed to be clothed
when arraigned on a criminal
charge.
AS pointed out by friends Of Rob.
ertson, the money has been spent
and despite the innocence of the
accused he has no redress, but must
bear the financial burden resulting
from false accusations against him.

BAR

Three youths made the mis-
take early today Of getting
fresh = with j. A. Harris, night
manager of Riley's Garage, in
the 600 block Of Pennsylvania
Ave. S. E. Harris resented
their attitude, and, when the
smoke of battle cleared away,
two slightly battered young
men were carrying their un-
conscious companion to their
automobile.
Harris was alone in the garage
when the three men entered at 2
q. m. Police believe they intended
to rob the establishment. One OF
them removed fire extinguisher
from the wall. Harris ordered him
to replace It.
The man set the fire extinguisher
on the floor and walked over and
struck Harris in the face. The
other two men began to make re-
marks which aroused Harris ire.
SO he picked up an iron bar and
stepped into the fray. When he
put the bar down one of the men
was unconscious on the floor and
the other two were pleading for
mercy. Before Harris could cal.
police the two men who were able
to stand up picked up the un-
conscious man and fled to wait
ing automobile.
Harris gave police good descrip.
lions OF all of the men. Believing
that the man who was knocked
unconscious may be seriously in
jured, police are watching the hos
pitals to place him under arrest il
he Is brought in for treatment.

Latson Mcdaniel, 30-year-old
commercial photographer, to-.
day prepared to fight his way
to freedom Of the charge.

that he will fix bond Of $4,000 for
Mcdaniel, and that he Is preparde
to bring the man to trial at once.
Refuses to Talk
Mcdaniel has consistently refused
to discuss his arrest, merely stating
that he is innocent Of the hold-up
and will be able to explain where he
obtained the money found sewed in
his coat when his room was
searched.
Asked to explain how three per-
sons had positively identified him
as the man who held up the bank
and escaped with $1,000, Mcdaniel
said people are sometimes mis-
taken-tfig is one OF those times.
County Detective Joseph Nolte
and washington Headquarters De
tective Thomas Nally, yesterday
searched the basemen at 80 Co,
Iumbia Ave, Takonla Park, Nd,
where Mcdaniel lived and where lie
was arrested, and claimed to have
found q .3S calibre automatic re.
volver and seven cartridges of
corresponding size.
DisOwns Gun
Mcdaniel disowned the weapon
and added that he had never
owned q gun"
Mcdaniel told Sergeant Burdine
at the time Of his arrest that his
home was in Orlando, Fla, but that
he had been living in the vicinity
OF Takoma Park for 10 years. OF
this time about year and a half
had been spent in Walter Reed
Hospital. where he was a patient.
His father and a brother are living
i'm e small Georgia town, he told
the police, but he refused to give
their names or to tell them in what
town they lived.
A search of clothing In McDan-
fePs room at the time of his arrest
disclosed 81 asa in 81, SO and $40
bills sewed in the lining of a suit.
Mcdaniel said this represented the
savings of three years, which he
had hidden to prevent attachment
by his estranged wife. He at first
told police he was not married.

Two Wrangell Candidates

Wrangell furnished two candidates in the legislative contest. Charles Benjamin, candidate for the territo- rial senate, and P. c. Mccormack, candidate for the lower house of the territorial legislature
 According to the returns received to date the odds appear to be against Mir Benjamin, and it is not unlikely that he will lose out. There is no doubt whatever that MT. Mccormack is elected.
 When Norman R. Walker, the Democratic candidate, was cam paigning he told the voters every where he went that they were fortu- nate in having two such good men as MT. Benjamin and himself to choose from.
 With two good men in the race it was inevitable that one good man would be defeated. MT. Benjamin boiled the highest vote in Wrangell of any candidate. It was big com pliment and shows the high regard in which he is held in his home town.
