Robertson Held For Grand Jury.

After he had requested the action. Sam
uel T. Robertson. Bethesda builder. was
held for the grand jury Friday on charge
of numbering Edward L. Mills. dairy farmer.
on July last. The decision of Justice
Samuel Riggs. Of the Police Court. ended
two-day preliminary hearing.
At the conclusion Of the States testi-
mony and after the defense had examined
one witness. Stedman Prescott, attorney
for Robertson. told Justice Riggs it was his
clients desire that he be held for the grand
jury.
Mr.. Prescott added that Robertson took
this occasion to tell the public that he-was
innocent of the charge and that he knew
nothing of how Mr. Mills met his death
AT the trial. the attorney said. Robertson
will produce testimony showing conclu
sively he is innocent and that il would
have been foolhardy to produce evidence
at the preliminary hearing.
The Justice then announced the defen-
dant would be held for the grand jury with
out bail. and Robertson was returned to Jail.
DIR. Calvin Goddard. of New York. form
srly Of the Johns Hopkins University. testi-
fed for the State as firearms expert He

Wilson Trout. which resulted in his arrest !;
Robertson said he had taken the pistol
from Trout. Pistol No. 2 is the one of
which Robertson is said to have admitted
ownership.
His examination showed. DR.. Goddard
testified. that bullet taken from Mr.. Mills
body had been fired through the barrel of
pistol No. 2; while an empty cartridge
found beside the body had been marked
by the firing pin of pistol MOI The weap
ons are said to be of identical construction.
The expert gave technical explanation
of his conclusions.
The only witness placed on the stand by
the defense at the preliminary hearing was
Mr.. Peter. the States Attorney He was
asked if Capt. Charles Il. Burns. of the
Detective Bureau of the Baltimore Police
Department had not used abusive and
prOfane language to Robertson when the
latter was being questioned at police head
quarters in Baltimore. Mr.. Peter said the
only thing of the kind that occurred in his
presence was Capt. Burns occasional use
Of the word damn"
Capt. Burns himself cross. examined as
to his treatment of Robertson. admitted
he might have threatened to stand him
on his head and spin him like top"
The preliminary hearing was held in the
quarters of the Circuit Court. as the police
court was not large enough for the crowd.
Mrs Mabel Robertson. wife Of the accused
man. sat beside him during the hearing.
