PRISONER TAKEN
AFTER FIST FIGHT
Officer Uses Blackjack to Subdue
Man Arrested as Drunken
Driver.

A spectacular battle between a police
man and a man he had arrested on a
charge of driving while drunk was wit
messed last night at the corner of Fiji
teenth street and New York avenue by
hundreds OF excited theatergoers.
After an exchange of blows, the
poSceman subdued his captive, CARLYLE
G. Lomax, "a, of the 1900 block of Fiji
tenth street, by bringing his blackjack
into play. The man was taken to
Emergency Hospital to have scalp
decorations treated, and then was lodged
at No. | precinct on charges of driy-
ing while drunk and assaulting an Of
flcer.
The policeman, j. o. Hite of the
franc Bureau, went to East Executive
and pennsylvania avenues to investi-
gate a traffic accident. The car of
Lomax. Hite said, had collided with
that OF John Hennegan, IL, of Balti-
more.
Hite arrested Lomax and was walk
ing with him to patrol box when his
prisoner hit him on the jaw. Both
men rolled into the street during the
Tight and the policeman's uniform was
badly torn.
For an hour after the battle police
headquarters was beseiged by telephone
calls from spectators asking for details
OF the incident. Inspector Albert J.
Headley. then on duty as night super
1ntendent, expressed the opinion that
the officer was justified in the use of
his blackjack. Hite was ordered to
make complete statement of the case
to Headley.

GRAND JURY TO HEAR
HIS VIEWS WEDNESDAY
What He Saw at Dinner for New

Senator Smith w. Brookhart, Repub-
lican, of Iowa, who mas been subpoenaed
to go before the District grand jury
Wednesday morning to tell about a din
ner for reelected and newly elected
Senators at a local hotel in 1926 at
which he said he saw TASKS, will have
something to say on the subject of pro-
hibition in the Senate before he tells
his story to the grand jury.
Senator Brookhart gave notice to this
effect today, when he declared in the
Senate:
II desire to give notice that upon to-
morrow as soon as can get recognition
after the converting of the Senate ]
shall briefly discuss the enforcement o.
the prohibition law in general and Wall

speech would be.

tor, refused to either affirm or DENY
widespread rumors that dry forces are
being concentrated in the Capital for a
WhlrlWfnd campaign against the dow
of liquor here.
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover
Today declared that he knows nothing
of any special plans of the Prohibition
Bureau of drying up Washington with
agents imported from other fields, and
he declined to comment on the suggeS-
ton that such action might be needed
in the Capital.
That DR.. Doran may have some such
plan, or may at present be working il
out. was admitted by Anslinger, but be-
yond that he refused to make any state
ment.
Reports Of Squad Gathering.
Reports have it that there is being
gathered in Washington special corps
OF dry agents working under the prolli-
blt1on administrators orders and indie
pendently of the regular prohibition
unit assigned to the Washington dis
trict; and that. evidence is being gath
cred quietly by these agents In prepa-
ration for series Of raids and arrests.
The mobilization of the dry forces,
the reports indicate, would be under
the usual plan of the Prohibition Bu-
reau. where special action is deemed
necessary, of bringing into the city a
group of men not known to the boot
Logging trade, which would work UNDER
cover, apart, even, from their own COL
leagues of the regular unit assigned
here.

quently has followed this policy with
success where cities have shown stub

regularly assigned prohibition agents.

KELEHER LOSES
FIGHT TO ESCAPE
TERM IN PRISON
District Appeals Court Rules
He Must Serve 8 Years
and g Months.
mccoy SENTENCE HELD
IN PENALTY LIMITS
Convicted on % Counts of Indict-
ment Charging Gaming and
Race Betting.
John B. Keleher, who was convicted

John B. Keleher, who was convicted
OF conducting a place where bets could
be made on horse races. at 1913 II
street in November, 1926, must serve
the term of eight years and nine months
in the penitentiary imposed on him
some months ago by Chief Justice wal
ter I. Mccoy.
The District Court of Appeals today
in an opinion by Justice Charles H.
Robb, affirmed the conviction OF keleher
and declared the sentence could not be
one count the maximum penalty pro-
vided by the law. He also must pay
fine of $500.
Keleher had been convicted on all
% counts of an indictment charging
the setting up of a gaming table, per-
hitting others to use the premises for
gaming and for accepting separate bets
on horse races at different times. Bets
were placed, the opinion points out. by
Robert L. Shivers, an agent OF the De-
partment of Justice in November, 1926,
and In December, 1926, raid was
staged and a quantity OF gambling
equipment taken.
Sentence of Justice Mccoy.
The sentence as rendered by Chief
Justice Mccoy was for S years each
on counts of the indictment, to run
concurrently, with 2 sentences OF year
each on two other counts and Is SEN
fences of 90 days and $500 each, TO
rim concurrently to each other and to
the Swear term, making total OF 3
wears and months of imprisonment
and a total fine of $500.
The appellate court found that there
was SUFFICIENT evidence to sustain the
conviction and brushed aside as with
out merit a number of exceptions on
behalf of the defendant. Justice Robb
pointed out that it is not improper to
ioin charges of felony and disdemean-
ors in the same indictment in separate
counts. since the District code in section
o3A provideS that where the sentence
is Imprisonment for more than one year
it shall be in the pentitentiary ana
cumulative sentences Of more than one
wear shall be deemed one sentence for
the purpose OF this provision.
No Abuse of Discretion.
The court held there was no abuse
of discretion in the action OF the trial
Judge in denying bill OF particulars
and a motion to require the Govern
ment to elect on what counts-t woulo
esk n conviction. The action OF the
trial Judge In refusing to quash the
search warrant which was issued only
against Charles D. Payne, a co-de-
fendant, is upheld by the appellate
tribunal, which points out that Keleher
failed to assert any interest in the
property seized and was not in a posi-
ton to challenge the validity OF the
warrant nor to ask the return of the
property to q third person.
Assistant United States Attorney VIII
liam H. Collins conducted the prosecu-
ton of Keleher and argued the appeal.
ATTORNEY Daniel Thew Wright repre-
sented the prisoner at the trial, but
withdrew after the conviction and
Keleher was represented on appeal by
Attorney II Morris Wampler.
