REST

The entire night shift of the
Fire Department will no
longer be required to leap
from bed when an alarm Of
fire is sounded as the result
of an order issued by the Dis
trict Commissioners today.
Fire Chief George S. watson has
worked out plan whereby firemen
will be aroused from their slumbers
only when an alarm of fire IL
sounded In the section of the city
in which they are located.
The Commissioners approved the
plan, and declared 1t an order today.
Heretofore. when an alarm OF fire
was sounded in Chevy Chase, MEM
bera OF the fire companies in Con-
gress Heights were required to jump
from bed and take their positions be-
side the apparatus.
Chief Watson pointed out that this
practice lessened the physical ability
of the men and constituted a justi-
fable complaint. AS result of the
Oh ,er issued today. when a fire alarm
is rung in the northeast section. all
firemen in that part of the city will
take place beside their apparatus, but
firemen in the three other sections of
the city will be ALLOWED to sleep until
a second alarm Is sounded.

liam McEwen. narrowly escaped
death early today in a scuffle with
an armed colored man.

other policeman, were attempting
to arrest Marion Ray, 3S, of the

nection with the alleged theft Of
an automobile tire when Ray re-
sisted him. Ray had been ques-
toned at the home of neighbor.
Both policemen were wrestling
with Ray when he is said to have
drawn a pistol punched it into
the stomach OF McEwan and pulled
the trigger. McEwan. however.
prevented the weapon from dis

no application in a Federal court.
BY stipulation the record of the
offer Of compromise for $500 was
then allowed and read into the rec
ord Of the trial. The cons deration
DIR. Dollman offered to the mar
cotic division in support of his re-
quest for compromise was that
he had issued the prescriptions in
the course of his professional pra3c.
tice and had known Mrs. Horner for
over Is years; that he had no Grim.
inal intent in issuing the prescrip.
tions and was willing to give testi-
mony for the Government against
the principal offender at the
trial of the case.
Beckley, the pharmacist, was dif.
dicu1t witness and evaded some
questions OF the defense and gave
voluntary testimony where it was
not called for.
Hints of a ''frame.up'' against
the pretty defendant came as a
surprise to the spectators when
Burnett, out of a clear sky, asked
him:
Is lt not fact that you gave
Mrs. Horner dope and then had her
obtain prescriptions from DR.. Doll.
man to cover it?"
Beckley denied this as well as the
hinted accusation that he had sold
narcotics to others and compelled
Mrs, Horner, d helpless addict, to
obtain prescriptions from the physi.
c1an to cover the sales, realizing

cotics after Mrs. Horner's husband

The instance arises in the trial
of Mrs. Stanley Herner, attractive
young wife of a local automobile
distributor on charges of altering
narcotic prescriptions, in District
Supreme Court.
The Horner trial was continued
over until Monday at the close Of
two days interlocutory fireworks
at the Argyle Pharmacy who ad-
mited films some of the narcotic
prescriptions which Mrs. Horner
is charged with altering. and who
denied the questions of Attorney
John H. Burnett, Mrs. Horner's
counsel that she was the. victim
of a frame.up to cover alleged IL
legal activities in narcotic dis
pensing between the druggist and
the physician. who signed the
prescriptions.
Records Requested
The question of the right of the
court to require the record of the
alleged compromise agreement be-
tween the bureau and DIR. M. G..
,Dolman. society physician, who
admitted giving the defendant 222
prescriptions for narcotics in less
than a year, came when Burnett
asked the court to aid him in
having the records produced.
Yesterday a subpoena was is
sued to Colonel Mutt directing him
to produce in this court all the
records of the correspondence in
regard to DIR. Dollman,' Burnett
told Chief Justice Walter 1. Nc
Coy, Colonel MUTT is NOT in
court at this time, but his solicitor
is present and tells me he has
instructed Colonel Mutt that he
should respectfully decline to com
ply with the process" he said.
Rights Of Jury
When questioned regarding the
pertinency Of the Do1lman records
in the bureau Burnett told Justice
Mccoy that Dollman had given tes-
timony in the case and that the
jury was entitled to know his mo.
tive in festifying for the Govern
.ment when he was under indict-
ment himself.
II he has been promised inn
munity on condition that he testi-
fled as he has for the Government,
then the jury is entitled to know
IT," Burnett declared.
Chief Justi,e Mccoy was inclined
to agree with Burnett, but. by an
agreement the bureau counsel was
allowed sufficient time in which to
place the matter before the Gem.
missioner of Internal Revenue.
The colrt indicated, however,
that he woul have the records pro-
duced at all costs and declared that

records privileged was intended to
