17.-Vincent J. Selbicky, who was
arrested and held in connection
with the investigation of the muir
der of Emanuel Thorne, youthful
Marine, today beat charge of
illegal possession in police court

BANDIT SLAYER
NOW PLANNING
VACATION
Bank Head, C. A. M. Wells,
Orders Change in Business
Hours for Insurance Gain

Claude H. Owens, cashier of the
First National Bank at Upper
Marlboro, who despite being cov-
cred by machine gun engaged in
a pistol duel in which he shot and
killed Chicago gangster, is to be
rewarded with $500 by his employ
ers.
When a trio of bandits entered
the bank last Thursday two of
them went behind the cages while
the third stood guard at the door
OF the institution with a machine
gun.
Owens, insead of complying with
the demand of Joseph Jervis
Hayes, leader of the trio, to hand
over the bank money, seized a re-
volver and fired four times, three
Of the bullets striking the gang
Ster. A fourth shot went wild.
The bank officer said that he
has made no definite plans for
vacation time, but will probably
take his leave early and enjoy the
money given him by C. A. M.
Wells, president of the bank.
AS a result of the attempted
holdup, during which two of the
gangsters escaped, banking hours
have been changed from 9 a. m. to
4:30 p. m. to from a. m. to 3
p. m. This, it was explained, is
necesitated due to the fact that
holdup insurance only covers the
bank between the latter hours.

It was testified that NarciSen.

went to his home, ate a hearty
dinner, and shortly afterward
complained Of a violent headache.
He fell in the bathroom in

ear had been there some time
and was caused by a blow.
Defends Her Husband
Mrs. Farber, sObbing on the

Dispute Over Note
The dispute, it is said, was over
a note of Narcisenfeld which his
brothers-in-law had indorsed and
on which a payment was due.
The amount Of the curtailment
was the issue, it was stated.
Farber added:
Maurice got excited and lost
his temper. We had q lot of
words. but he cooled off and

COMPLETE CAS-
DATA ASKED

A letter asking more specific
information on appliance adjust
ments made since last May was
sent to the Washington Gas
Light Company today by the
Public Utilities Commission.
The letter was in reply to a
report submitted by Bert HI. Peck,
company engineer, that the
washington and Georgetown COM
parlies from May. % to August II
had made a total of 3O,SS7 in
SpectiOnS and adjustments to ap-
pliances other than complaints.
The commissions letter asked
that the total figure be broken
down and divided to show how
many adjustments had been
made in connection with pressure
surveys: how many adjustments
had been made on complaint and
service calls. and how many ad-
juStments were made in connec-
tion with new installations of
appliances.
Last June, the commission
ordered the company to submit
ten-day reports in connection
with pressure and appliance sur
vey work. The reports were not
made on schedule time and the
commission called upon the COM
pany for complete report. Peck's
report was the answer, but it
proved unsatisfactory.
