''In the first place, it is claimed
that the employment of Mr.. cyan

said Bingham. 1T is difficult to
know exactly what is meant by
this expression, contrary to good
morals but if it means anything

something in this employment
which was immoral in the sense of
being diShonorable or corrupt. To
this charge, Mr.. President, I plead
not guilty.
There was nothing in his en-

pared to go before the Court
of Appeals with a petition
to allow the reporters lib

The reporters, German M.

were Immediately remanded
to the District Jail by
United States Marshal Z. G.
Snyder and two deputies.
The three reporters were
represented by their coun-
sci, Wilton J. Lambert and
George D. Horning, jr., and
when their case was called
Lambert arose and informed
Justice Frederick L. Sid
dons that a study of the sit
uation reveals that the law
grants the reporters no di-
rect privilege.
Accordingly, he asked that
the petition for the writ Of
habeas corpus be dismissed and
the reporters returned to
custody.
He made it plain, however, that
an effort would be made to have
one of the justices in the District
Court Of Appeals admit the re-
porters to bail, pending a final
hearing on their appeal.
Lambert called the courts
special attention to the fact that
the appeal from Justice Peyton
Gordon's 45-day sentence was
noted in good faith and will be
diligently prosecuted. The desig-
nation of record has already been
made, and the appeal bond was

HEARD

Search has been instituted in
local and out-of-town hospitals
for a woman believed to have
been struck by a policeman's bull
let early today as she fled in a
green Hudson sedan with two
male companions from the scene
of downtown fur robbery.
The shots we're fired by Police
man F. R. Rabbi, of the First
precinct, as it sped away. The
two male occupants of the car
had smashed the plate-glaSS show
window of Francke's, furrier
at 1923 G st. N. W., and had
taken more than 5000 worth OF
coats and neckpieceS.
Woman Heard to Scream
A few minutes after Rabbi had
sent five shots after the fleeing
car, Detective Sergeant Charles
WarfieId, Of the headquarters
clothing squad. who was watch
ing a suspect at Seventh and H
Streets Northwest, heard a Cal
stop and a woman scream The
driver Of the car got out and
looked around, diving quickly
into the car when Warfielu
started to run toward it. The
car disappeared north on Seventh
Street.
Previous to staging their raid
on Francke's, the two men loi-
tered for a moment in front Of
William RoSendorf'S fur shop at
1918 G St.
Police Put Off Track
One of the pair leaned too
heavily against the window,
causing the burglar alarm to go
off and at that moment, several
pedestrians rounded the corner.
The men then went into the next
block and made their raid while
police investigated the cause of
the burglar alarm at RoSendorf'S
Rabbi came through the alley
next to Francke'S just at the
time the men climbed into their
machine, the engine of which was
running. They went east in G

ON TRIAL
by XMAS

Robert A. Mcpherson. jr., jailed
on a charge of first degree muir
der in connection with the Stay
ing of his wife, Virginia Nc
Pherson, will probably know his
fate before Christmas, it was
indicated today, as Department
of Justice agents neared com.
pletion of their investigation.
The youthful bank clerk will
be given speedy trial, John E.
Laskey, special assistant to the
Attorney General stated, and it
is more than likely that he will
go before a jury sometime early
in December.
BungIed at Outset
At no time since the Depart

but have been convinced from
the outset that the pretty nurse,
whose nearly nude body, q pa.
lama cord .knotted about the
throat, was found September 4,
in her apartment in the Park
Lane, was the victim Of a muir
derer.
The case at the outset was so
badly bungled by members OF the
homicide squad that it has taken
weeks for the super Sleuths OF
the justice department to run out
the many angles of the strange
murder.
New Evidence Seen
More than 1000 witnesses have
been examined by the special
agents in charge of the inVestiga-
ton and it is understood that on
Saturday certain information was
unearthed that pointed TO the
husband as the slayer Of his
wife.
Despite assertions in certain
quarters to the effect that the
Department of Justice was pre-
pared to back up the police de-
partment in it's suicide Theory,
Government agents have been
convinced all along that Virginia
Mcpherson was slain.
Just what the nature of the
new evidence may be, operatives
refused to divulge but did indi-
cate that it is strong enough to
bring the husband to trial.
That the evidence is vital is
proven by the fact that LaSkey,
