RULING ON PROPERTIES
/ FINANCED BY THE FIRM
Decision Held Important Step in
\ Legal Battle Between Officials
and Stockholders.

Motion for the appointment of re-
ceivers for a number OF properties
financed through the F. H. Smith Co.
were denied today by Chief Justice Al
fred A. Wheat in District Supreme
Court.
At the same time the court named
the American Security & Trust Co. as
trustee. registrar and depositary under
certain deeds of trust and the National
Savings d Trust Co. as fiduciary under
further trust.
The new trustees supplanted F. H.
Smith Co. appointees.
Chief Justices Statement.
Chief Justice Wheat declared in a
memorandum that 1.-THE appointment
of new trustee whose competency. im-
Partially and integrity are beyond
question makes it unnecessary and in
advisable TO appoint a receiver. For
obvious reasons, a receiverShip is to be
avoided in cases like this unless the
conservation of the property emphat-
1cally demands it. I am not persuaded
that such a condition now confronts U.S.
Motion to appoint receiver will. there
fore, be denied. Motion to strike out
the affidavit filed in support of the mo-
tion for receiver will also be denied"
The requested appointment of re-
eeivers was denied to security holders
of the New Amsterdam Co, Hilltop
Manor Co. and the Properties Invest
nent Corporation. The actions were
drought recently by John H. Baggs,
Charles D. Robbins and others.
Backed by Ownership Corporations
The local banks were appointed
trustees, registrars and depositaries as
a result of actions brought by repre-
sentativeS of the ownership corpora
tions in their capacity as friends of the
court"
Chief Justice Wheat, in a separate
action, declined to grant motions ask
ing that amendments to one of the
bills Of complaint against the F. H.
Smith Co. be stricken out. The pro-
posed amendments contained directions
for the trustees. This litigation was
brought by Lucy /. Jones and other
bond and stock holders.
The courts action was considered an
important phase of the legal battle be-
tween the officials and stockholders of
the F. II. Smith Co., which began fol-
lowing indictment of numerous officials
OF the company last December.

ONE-MAN SEARCH
ON IN BAKER CASE
Police Have Definite Suspect
in Mind in Girls Brutal
Murder.

Police officials investigating the MUIR
der of Mary Baker indicated today that
they have but one definite suspect in
mind. Reports that a new suspect,
whose name has not hitherto been
brought into the case, is now believed
to have committed the crime were en-
phatically denied at police headquarters
1t is known that the authorities are
concentrating every effort on the ap-
prehension of this suspect That police
nave in their possession definite in
formation linking MIN with the murder
was indicated by one official, who said:
II we did not have good reason to be-
lleve he committed the crime we would
not nave spent so much money and
time trying to find him."
Tests Made of Pistol.
Tests of the pistol turned over to
police have proved conclusively ac-
cording to Inspector William S. Shelby
that this was the weapon used in the
murder. 1t was believed the authorities
have recently received additional in
formation indicating that the man they
suspect of the crime had this pistol in
his possession on the day the young
Government clerk was slain.
While the local authorities concern
trated their efforts on tracing the pistol.

were pushing a Nationwide search for
Herman H. Barrere, who. police believe

up the crime.
verify reports that Barrere went to
Boiling Field some time after the girl
had been killed and attempted to secure
transportation from the city in an ARMY
plane. Police were also trying to learn
whether he ever kept an automobile
at the flying field
Several men stationed at the field
told police that Barrere had come there
a few days after the murder and thar
he attempted to borrow money from
them.
Trail Lost in South.
Barrere, after he left washington
was traced to Philadelphia and then to
New Orleans. The trail was lost in the
Southern city and according to IN
Spector Shelby police have received no
information concerning his whereabouts
since that time
1t is understood that the weapon
police have in their possession was
turned over 10 them by a former en-
ployer of Barrere. This man said the
pistol was usually kept in his home,
but that subsequent to the murder he
missed it and then found it later in
desk at his office. Police would not di-
vulge the reasons why the owner of the
gun, after finding it at his office, was
led to believe it may have figured in
the crime.
Police authorities were not inclined to
take seriously reports that Barrere had
been seen recently in the vicinity of
Washington. They expressed the opin-
ion that he has probably left the
country.
