'dastardly crime against the
working class.
Not satisfied with one boss
jury, the court yesterday ar
ranged for a second jury. Two
of the young workers were sentenced
to death in the electric chair on
Tuesday. Another was sentenced
yesterday afternoon. and two juries
were out last night considering" the
cases of the remaining six. One jury
had the case of five, four of whom
are II years old, the fifth 16 years
old. The second jury had the case
of 14-year old Roy Wright for whom
the State fearing the rising wave of
working class protest, has agreed not
to ask the death penalty.
Three Sentences.
The two workers sentenced on
Tuesday are Charles Weems, 20; and
Clarence Norris, Is. Haywood Pat
terson, II, was sentenced yesterday.
Sentence of death for five of the re-
naming six is foregone conclusion.
Juries Prejudiced.
Both juries are made up of Negro
hating business men and plantation
owners. Though the nine workers
are Negroes there is not a single Ne
gro on the jury. Though they are
workers there is not a worker on the
jury. This is what bourgeois de-
mocracy calls trial by jury of
ones peers The jury in the case
of the first two to be sentenced to
death were out only SO minutes.
They not only brought in verdict
of guilty, but they brought in a
recommendation for death in the

NEW BUS LINES
START IN MAY
Photo by International

Two new bus lines will make
their debut in downtown Wash
ington early next month.
One line, operated by the Capi'
tai Traction Company, will sup
plant the street car service in the
F and G Streets and Seventeenth
and Twenty-sixth Streets area
The other line, operated by the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, will run from Fifteenth
and K Streets to FoXhall Village
and Potomac Heights.
The Public Utilities Commission
late yesterday gave its approval to
the new lines. The Capital Trac'
ton line will begin operation May
3, while the date has not been
set yet for operation of the Wash
ington Railway line.
Substitution of buses in the
F and G Streets area resulted
from the petition of the Capital
44dSG4O44 NOAA4Ho44J w dHd44NSE1 Aus
car line. The bus service will be
over the same area as now served
by the street cars, except that the
buses will not make the loop at
Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth
Streets and Pennsylvania Avenue
and will extend around the White
House, Treasury, and State, War
and Navy buildings. A 10-minute
headway will be maintained, eX'
cept during rush hours, when ser.
vice will be every five minutes.
The route for the Foxhall and
Potomac Heights bus line has not
been fully mapped out. Buses
will leave Fifteenth and K Streets
daily between Z and 9 a. m. every
half-hour. From 9 a. m. to 4 p.
M, service will be on the hourly
basis. From 4:45 until 6:15 p. m,
the half-hour service will be main
tanned. Hourly service will then
be maintained from 7 until the
last bus leaves at 10 p. m.

Louise Teuber's Chum Tells of
Marriage to Marine; Body
Found in Nude State in Hills

SAN DIEGO, Calf, April 81
GN.S0-Two days after the
nude body of beautiful, 17-year-old
Louise Teuber was found hanging
from tree on Black Mountain,
officers faced additional nysteri-
Gus angles in the investigation
they hoped may lead to the solu-
ton of the "love lynching" that
assertedly followed a trySt be-
tween the girl and one of many
admirers.
Secretly Married
From a girl friend of the mur-
dered party girl" police learned
that LouiSe had, at one time, been
secretly married to a private in
the United States Marine Corps.
The former husband, now said
to be stationed on a battleship at
San Pedro, will be brought here
for questioning.
Since the girls body was found
Sunday, scores of persons have
been questioned by officers. But,
aside from the fact that Louise
was disgruntled with her home
life and had planned to leave
for Seattle, and that she had
many men friends, officers had
learned little.
StrangTed to Death
The girls father, william
Teuber, a barber, said Louise
left home without permission
Thursday night to attend a road
house dance.
She also absented herself from
home Friday night and was not
seen alive again.
Final report Of the autopsy
surgeons revealed that her death
was caused by Strangulation and
that she had not been attacked
before her death.
She is believed to have put up
furious battle for life be
fore a blow apparently from a
blackjack ended her struggles, a
coroner'S examination disclosed
today.
Beneath the strangled girls fin
gernails several bits of human
flesh and skin were revealed, &C
cOrding to the examination.
Left Home, Note Says
Two notes sent by Louise
shortly before her death, one to
her father and the other to her
sister, today offered the only
possible solution to the mystery.
The notes stated she left her
fathers home here Saturday and
intended to go to another city be-
cause she was discontented with
conditions.
The note received by the girls
father, William Teuber, a barber
shop proprietor, read:
"I have been trying a long
time to be satisfied with the
way. you are running the house
and can stand it no longer.
81 am leaving town tonight
and not coming back"
Felt Urge To Be Modern
In her second note, the girl
expressed her desire to become
modern"

Teuber was known to keep COM
pany were being questioned by
criminologists and deputy sheriffs
