Service Warning
The Capital Traction Company,
which for two years has been paying
dividends out of surplus, served mo-
tice some time ago that a fare in
crease would be asked this spring.

owner of the Washington Rapid

merger proposal, also will be invited.
Mr.. Fleharty today was dubious
about appearing saturday night at
the special meeting of the entire
federation, when the merger plan

ming. He scents in this move a
carefully laid plan of the traction I'M

Association members throughout
the District will be warned to be
on the lookout for a pamphlet hav-
ing the appearance OF the bona

is a eulogy Of Mr.. Wilson and the
company plan signed by Mr.. VIII

Unless Hunts attorneys exercise
any more of their peremptory chal-
lenges, 1T is probable that witnesses
will begin taking the stand today.
After three days OF questioning and
cross-questioning of veniremen, final
selection of the jury to sit in judg-
men on the youthful pair seemed
definitely in prospect.
Already under sentence of death
for the Staying of Marian Parker,
an attitude of indifference toward the
outcome of his second murder trial
had been adopted by Hickman. He
is reported to have told his attor-
news that he has no fears of being
hanged.
After the jury is sworn in, the
Thoms trial, it is expected, will
proceed speedily. With their efforts
mainly centered on preparing briefs
for submission to the California
Supreme Court as arguments in
support of their appeal from the
death sentence, Hickman's attor-
neys have indicated that they will
introduce only a few dispositions
taken in Kansas City and the testi-
mony of only a few witnesses as
evidence in the present trial.
Mrs. Eva M. Hickman, mother Of
William, and his brother, Alfred,
will probably be called to testify,
defense coGnsel announced.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-02-20

The defense was granted per-
mission to place the one remain
ing witness on the stand when he
arrives, and the State then began
it's rebuttal. Testimony depicting
incidents preceding the finding of
Smith T. Petty's ax-hacked body
buried in the basement of the
Petty home, was presented.
Pardue to Testify
The state will place the Rev.
Thomas CrhunderbolD Pardue, the
fiery little evangelist who divulged
Mrs. Gatlin's alleged penitentia'
confession, back on the witness
stand. The evangelist maintains
that Mrs. Gatlin confessed the
crime.
The defendant declared in her
previous testimony that her mother
committed the crime, but that she
herself confessed it when she went
to the evangelist to question him
about mothers soul" The
evangelist, she said, swore with
bible against his heart he would
keep the "hypotheticar' confession
a secret.
Prior to closing It's case, the de-
Tense attempted to further cor
roborate the defendants contention
that her mother now dead, COM
mitted the crime, but after the wit
ness, Mrs. Robert Roscoe, testified
in the absence of the jury, Judge
Cameron Macrae sustained the
State objection to the testimony.
Mrs. Roscoe testified. in the alb
sence of the jury, that on the night
of last March when Mrs. Petty
died, the defendant pleaded with
her to CONFESS and ask for
giveness" before she died.
Starting it's rebuttal testimony
the State put r. c. -Corum, Reids-
vile painter, on the stand.
The jury already has heard two
versions of the murder of the for
mer i cotton mill foreman. Pardue
has testified that Mrs. Gatlin made a
voluntary confession to him that she
was guilty of the staying. Mrs. Cat
lin admits that she made such a
confession to the preacher, saying
1t was due to his hypnotic influ-
snce" over her.
On the stand, however. she said
that her mother killed Petty while

Meanwhile, eighteen policemen
from the Fourteenth precinct ana
other precincts. and three headquar-
ters detectives, had beaten the
open spaces in the neighborhood ana
searched every automobile within q
radius Of half a. mile.
There are several elements OF
mystery in the kidnapping which

is that when Mrs. Shuttleworfh un-
dressed the baby when she finally
had him safe at the Bethesda hOnies
she found that the infants clothing,
with the exception OF the little

torn to shreds.
The fathers theory is that, who
ever took the baby carried him into
a house not far from the Shroyer
home, took off the sweater suit,
tore the undertaking. and when
the police arrived and combed tbs
neighborhood, got frightened ana
decided to abandon him.
