exceeding all previous records,
was attained by Flight Lieutenant
Bellini, of the Italian air corps,
shortly before he crashed to his

the first measured mile at a
speed of almost eight miles a
minute, and was turning to nego'
tiate the second lap when his

WITNESS FINED,
MAN FREED

A two-hour legal battle in po.
lice court at Upper Marlboro yes
terday resulted in a s. fine for
Elsie May Haas, tai Seventh
st. 8. W.. for disorderly conduct.
Charges Of assault and battery
and impersOnating an officer,
filed against Jerry Cosby, Of
FOFestviIIe, who held the woman
for county police, were dismissed
Mr.. Cosby was represented by
Attorney Frank Hall, of Upper
Marlboro.
Indictment Sought
Despite the fact Mr.. Cosby was
cleared in the lower court, Allan
Bowie, States attorney, noted an
appeal and will seek his indict-
ment when the grand jury meets
next month.
The arrests grew out Of a
family quarrel in the Haas home
in ForeStville August 3. At that
time, it was said. Mrs. Haas,
who had left her husband. Ray.
mond, returned to the house and
a quarrel followed.
Mr.. Cosby said he heard the
disturbance and went to the
scene in the role of peace-maker.
He had the woman arrested only
after she assaulted him, he said.
The highlight Of the hearing
came when Mr.. Bowie. upon com
pIetiOn of the case against Mr..
Cosby, prosecuted his star wit
ness on the disOrderly conduct
charge.

A torrential rain that accom-
panied the hurricane flooded
