DRIVER ON TRIAL
IN JOHNSON CASE
Is Witnesses to Tell of Acct
dent to Son of Base
Ball Favorite.
BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent of The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md, April 5.-With
approximately Is witnesses summoned
to testify on behalf of the State, most
Of them women prominent in the social
and club life of Bethesda, George Peter
Of this town, went on trial in the
Police Court here today on a charge of
driving while under the influence of
liquor, one of two charges growing out
of the injuring of Walter johnson, jr.,
son of the Washington base ball player,
in Bethesda several weeks ago, when
Peters car is alleged to have struck the
youngSter.
Probably no case of recent months in
the County Police Court has attracted
such wide attention as the one on trial
today, having stirred up considerable
comment Immediately following the &C.
cident because of the fact that Peter
was charged only with reckless driving
by County Policeman Joseph Oldfield.
Oldfield, it was said, made a thorough
investigation at the time of the &C
ctdent, but saw no reason for making
any charge other than the one Of reck-
less driving.
However, when the club women heard
of the accident many of theih expressed
surprise at the single charge made. and
later, it was said, DR.. Benjamin C.
Perry, president of the board of county
commissioners, and in charge of the
western suburban district in which the
accident occurred, hearing of them, di-
rected the police of the western district
precinct to pursue further investiga-
ton, which resulted in Oldfield swear
ing out another warrant against Peter
on the charge of driving while under
the influence of liquor. Peter, it was
alleged, was at dinner at which a
number of the club women, who have
been subpoenaed to appear against him,
were present, just short time prior
to the accident.
State Attorney Robert Peter, jr., who
is the Police Court prosecutor also, said
that the driving-while- drunk charge is
being tried at this time as result of
q demand made by counsel for George
Peter. The prosecutor said that the
other charge. that of reckless driving
will be held for trial until after young
johnson is able to leave the hospital,
so that he can be called as witness.
