TRIAL To BEGIN
WEDNESDAY,
MORNING

Despite statements made every
day since Monday that charges
would be drafted and served on
Police Inspector William s. Shelby
and Lieut.. Edward j. Kelly, in
connection with their trial for
alleged inefficiency and bungling
of the Mcpherson murder case,
they failed to arrive yesterday.
The charges will be positively
completed today. however, accord
ing to Corporation Counsel VIII
liam w. Bride and his assistants,
Robert e. Lynch and Walter L.
Fowler. Bride has designated the
latter two to prosecute Shelby
and Kelly before a special trial
board of which Major l.. =.
Atkins, Assistant Engineer Com.
missioner, is chairman.
Hearing Is Postponed
The delay in preparing the
charges was explained by the fact
that the prosecutors have been
busy interviewing grand jurors,
witnesses and newspaper report
ers having knowledge Of the Nc
Pherson case. The interviews
took place behind closed doors,
with clerks warning away inquir-
ing newspaper men.
A definite development in the
forthcoming trial was the post
ponement yesterday of the hear.
ing until next Wednesday. This
was at the request Of James A.
O'Shea, attorney for Kelly, who
is to appear in a case in District
Supreme Court Monday. This re-
moved the necessity for colnplet-
ing the charges and serving them
by today, which otherwise would
have been required in order to
give the accused 40 hours in which
to go over them, before the hear.
ing.
Soon after the first Mcpherson
Grand Jury charged that Shelby
and Kelly had n1ishandled the po-
lice investigation Of Mrs. McPher-
sons death, Bride and assistant
Engineer CommiSSi Donald A.
Dawson were designated to in
quire into accusations for the Dis
trict government.
Charges Based on Report
The specifications which they
presented, Z against Shelby and
18 against Kelly, were based on
this Grand Jury'S findings.
The prosecutors, however, are
said to believe that there is not
sufficient evidence to support all
these specifications, hence their
lengthy check-up with Mcpherson
witnesses. Bride said no speci.
fications will be preferred outside
Of those based on Vthe Grand
Jury findings, and that some oe
these probably will be omitted
in the formal charges now being
drawn.

FADE AS rain
NELTS ICE

The blanket Of ice which en-
veloped the streets OF washington

tenders, and other minor dam
ages.
The highway, which is one of
the main arteries bringing in
traffic from Arlington and Fair
fax counties, was blocked from
8 to ii o'clock by the jam. AS
