A. T. Killing CLEARED
OF GIFT CHARGES
Jail Dentist Denies Accept
ing GratuitieS From Sim
clair and Day.

A special board Of inquiry appointed
to investigate reports that Albert Z.
King, dentist at the District Jail, had
accepted gifts from Harry F. Sinclair
and Henry Mason Day, wealthy oil men,
while or after they were serving their
recent sentence, announced today after
o public hearing that the accusations
had not been subStantiated and the
incident was closed
The hearing was held in the Office
Of Lieut.. Col william L. Peak, super
intehdent OF the jail, who, with Capt.
NJ. M. Barnard, superintendent Of penal
Institutions Of the District, and George
S. Wilson, director of public welfare,
constituted the special investigating
board.
King denied the reports that Day
had given him an automobile and that
Sinclair had presented him with q
wrist watch, and declared that he had
not received any gifts or gratuities
from either. He said he knew the
two men, however, and had given their
teeth a prophylactic treatment on one
occasion while they were inmates ct
the jail.
Three Of i've witnesses requested to
attend the hearing appeared. r.
Ellis, jr., manager OF a garage where
King was alleged to have bought an
automobile; Mrs. Elise M. Cumberland,
1924 Linworth place southwest, who
said the dentist was friend of her
family, and Douglas Warrenfels, re-
porter.
Witnesses Refuse Accusations.
Warrenfels, who in his capacity as
a reporter investigated the reports OF
the alleged gifts of the wealthy Oil
men, declined to testify against Killing,
as did Ellis.
Newspaper stories have reported
that preferred formal charges against
DR.. Killing and that such charges are
the basis for this hearing" Warrenfels
told the board. THAT is not correct.
IT was asked by Mr.. Wilson, director
of public welfare, whether I cared to
submit any formal charges against DR..
King and declined. My only in
terest in this affair has been as q news
paper reporter seeking to verify stories
that were given to me and to report
the proper authorities and they initi-
ated this investigation. They are in
possession Of all the information I
have"
Capt. Barnard remarked that he had
given information to the newspapers
about the Killing case, but denied that
he had told them that the reporter had
preferred formal charges against the
dentist.
Ellis declined to testify on the
ground that he did not feel justified or
under any obligation to do so, since
the accusations were not of q serious
nature and involved only an infraction
of prison rules If they were substan-
tiated.
Wanted to Help Accused.
Mrs Cumberland, who said she APP
peared before the board because she
believed she could help DR.. Killing, de-
clared that the dentist had never men,
toned anything in her presence about
receiving gifts from either Sinclair or
Day She said she knew King had an
automobile, but didn't know where he
got 1t.
Wilson said that the Board of Public
Welfare and officials of the penal in
stitution felt obligated when the re-
ports involving Dr. Killing were called
to their attention to make thorough
Investigation

our skis, hoping we would be able to
retrace our steps. Then it began to
snow and we began to get a bit ner-
vous. We hurriedly roped and began our
descent.
Fortunately the snowfall was not suf-
hcent to cover our tracks, and when we
had cleared the first steep slope the
clouds lifted enough so we could see our
way across the worst of the crevasses.

PACKERS SEEKING
LAW MODIFICATION
Swift and Armour Sue to
Sell Other Food
Than Meats.

BY the Associated Press.
Representatives of two large packing
companies prepared to renew in the
Supreme Court of the District Of CO.
lumbia today their effort to secure
modification of the packers consent
decree.
The suit brought by Swift & Co. and
Armour &c Co. last year to obtain per-
mission for handling other food than
meats and for freedom to sell their
product direct to consumers and through
their own distribution facilities was
scheduled to reach the stage of evil
dence taking. Counsel for the packers
planned to place on the stand officials
OF the Commerce and Agriculture De-
partments, from whom they sought
statistical data on the economic and
legislative changes of recent years.
These, the packers contend, have
made the consent decree unnecessary
to safeguard public interest. They are
seeking to prove also that its oper-
alton Is detrimental both to live stock
producers and meat consumers.
Both the American Natinoal Live
Stock Association and the National
Wool Growers Association were expect
ed to seek permission to intervene in
support of the packers, while the Ma
tional Wholesale Grocers' Association
and the American Wholesale Grocers'
Association will join the Government In
opposition to modification.
Pleas for Intervention on behalf of
these organizations were to be heard by
Justice Jennings Bailey. The Govern
ment case Is being handled by John
Lord O'Brian, Assistant to the Attor-
ney General.
