CLAIMED TO BE
DEPUTY SHERIFFS

Alleging that Aida r. Graham
and two men representing them
selves as deputy sheriffs forced
their way into the house in which
she was living, caused her severe
external and internal injuries, and
c&rted away the furniture of the
house on which she had paid the
rent, Sue C. Pentecost today filed a
complaint in which she asks $4,000
damages from Aida Graham, Johr
Doe and Richard Roe.
John Doe and Richard Roe were
fictitious names given by the plain
tiff because she did not know the
lcal names of the men who claimed
to be representatives of the sher-
ifs office.
The plaintiff had rented the house
at 40 Olive street from Aida r..
Graham, she asserts is her com
plant, and had paid her rent when
the defendants knocked at her door
yesterday. demanding admittance.
One of the men showed badge,
saying he was a deputy sheriff.
When the plaintiff refused to let
them into the house, according to
her statement, they forced the door
open, pushing her forcofully back
into the house and causing her to
fall, bruising her body and injur.
ing her internally, and causing her
20 become unconscious. Regaining
consciousness, she stated, she asked
them to call doctor, which they
did not do. They were busy carry
ing furniture out Of the house.
Representatives of the sheriff =
office today were investigating the
report, trying to determine who the
two men were who represented
themselves as deputies.

VICTORY FOR D. c.
SEEN IN DECISION
Bride Lauds Ruling Reckless
Driving Is "Depravity,"
Meriting Jury Trial.

Corporation Counsel William W.
Bride in o written statement yesterday
declared that the Colts case on reckless
driving, decided by the Supreme Court
Of the United States Monday. was .
victory Of the District on the main ques-
ton involved.
The main point in issue, Mr. Brides
statement said, was the contention Of
counsel for the appellant that one
charged with violation Of any Law or
for even O single day u entitled to q
Jury trial. The court refused to take
such q decided position, but held that
the offense Of driving so reckleSsly as
to endanger property and individuals
was an act of obvious depravity," which
cannot be characterized as O petty Of
tense, and hence merits jury trial.
Jury Trials Have Seen Given.
As to the course to be followed by
the District, Mr.. Bride pointed out that
ever since the decision in the District
Court Of Appeals holding Colts entitled
to q Jury trial, every defendent accused
Of reckless driving who has asked for q
jury trial has been granted one, that
no change in procedure in this respect
will be necessary. He said that in flu
ture persons thought to be guilty OF
reckless driving where there is no i'm
mediate danger to life or property in
volved will be charged with some Of
tense other than reckless drivir ior
which they may be tried by court with
out jury, but I'VE shall not hesitate to
charge reckless driving where the facts
warrant it."
Pointing out the enormous impor-
lance Of the decision in directions other
than the immediate question Of Police
Court procedure, Mr.. Brides state
ment goes on to say:
Reckless Driving Held "Depravity."
THE decision Of the Supreme Court
is Of prime importance for the clasSifi-
cation in which 1t places the offense
on driving so recekleSsly as to endanger
property or individuals. It was held
that an automobile is such a dangerous
fundamentally that to drive it through
the public streets Of a city so reck-
lessly as to endanger property and indi-
viduals u an act Of obvious depravity,
which cannot be characterized aS q
petty onense; that such an act was
indictable at common law, and there
fore is O wrong in itself and not an act
merely made wrong by statute.
THE word 'depraVity' used by the
Supreme Court II synonymous with
moral turpitude' Therefore, one guilty
Of this offense IL subject to all the
penalties accompanying the conviction
Of q crime involving moral turpitude.
For example, he may be disqualified for
service on q jury, it may affect his
credibility as . witness, and 90 even to
the extent Of affecting good character
where that 10 involved, such as for
admission to the bar or for securing
certain licenses.
"The effect Of the decision II very
severe upon the person found guilty Of
the charge. The prime question in
volved, that for lesser crimes and VIC
lations Of the municipal regulations
trials without jury may be held, IL obvi-
ously Q victory for the Districts co..
tentaon."
