HEATH IS JAILED
IN LIQUOR DEATH
Detroit Elevator Mechanic Is
Silent When Arraigned and
Placed Under $50, 900 Bond.
BY the Associated Press.


DETROIT, September 12-John M.
Heath, Detroit elevator mechanic, was
in Wayne County Jail last night await
ing trial on an indictment returned
against him yesterday by the Federal
grand jury in connection with the death
of Richard j. SandlandS, Federal pro-
hibition agent, whose body was found
in the Detroit River August 6.
The indictment against Heath charges
assaulting a Federal officer with a
deadly weapon, making off with Gov
eminent property and violating the
tariff act by attempting to Smuggle
liquor into the United States.
Arraigned before Federal Judge
Charles C. Simons this afternoon, Heath
stood mute and a plea of not guilty
was entered for him. His bond was set
at $4,000, two sureties. No date was
set for his trial.
Sandlands disappeared August after
he and a companion officer had seized
wife, Maxine. Four days later Sand
lands body was found floating In the
river. An autopsy revealed a broken
neck, believed to have been the cause
of death. Heath was arrested after a
weeks search by local and Federal Of
ficers. Questioned, he said Sandlands
fell into the river during struggle with
him when he questioned une omcer S
authority to search his cruiser. 1t Is
believed by Federal authorities that in
juries suffered during this struggle
caused Sandlands' death.
Mrs. Heath. against whom charges
were placed for time, told q story
similar to her husbands.
Conviction of Heath on the three
counts mentioned in the indictment
would mean a maximum penalty OF IA
years imprisonment and $4,000 fine.
Federal authorities base their liquor
charges against Heath on the discov-
cry of several cases Of whisky IN the
river bound together with ropes similar
to those found aboard his cruiser. No
liquor was found on the craft when 1t
was seized.
