CRIME RECORD.
CHARGED To
N|MBLEY
Served Time for Forgery,
Say Police investigating
Drowning Of Wife, Child

The question of whether the
drowning of Mrs. Elizabeth VIM
bley and her 3-year-old daughter,
Wilma, occurred in the District
or in Maryland was to be deter
mined today.
Detective Sergts. James F.
Springman and Floyd A. Truscott,
accompanied by a surveyor were
to go to the spot, where survey
will be made.
Detectives are also eager TO
know whether Harry c. Wimbley,
husband o. the woman, and now
held by police, could have seen
the canoe overturn from where
he said he was standing.
Woman, Man Sought
Police are also searching for a
woman companion Of Winlbley
and for a colored man who As SUD,
posed to have seen the drowning.
CAPT. Edward J. Kelly today
said Wimbley has . criminal rec
ord, and has served time for
forgery.
Captain Kelly also said he had
uncovered a bit of duplicity on
the part of Wimbley. He said the
accused man rented a drive-it-
yourself car recently to go after
his wife in Dendron, Va, and
bring her here, and fixed the
Speedometer SO it registered only
81 miles instead of the 800 miles
of the trip, with a consequent
bill of only Sc.
It had been reported that po-
lice had found a red-haired wo-
man companion of Wimbley, who
is being held by police together
with John Crowder and William
j. Jungren.
Detective Springman refused to
deny or affirm this, saying:
II won't tell you anything.
Furthermore, 1 don't intend to
tell newSpapermon about any
case as long as I am in this
office"
Detectives, however, are inves-
tigating the authenticity of Mrs.
Wimbley's signature on a $4,000
accident policy taken out by her
husband last July and naming
himself as beneficiary. A probe
of the drowning has also been
instituted by the life insurance
company which underworld the
accident policy.
Auto Policy, Too
It was learned that Wimbley
has filed claim against an insur-
ance company for collection of
1000 on his automobile, reported
stolen several weeks ago in Wash
ington.
WimbIey, police said, told a
friend the automobile had been
burned while on a visit to Okla
hOma.
Wimbley separated from his
wife last December. 49,,
Yesterday police learned she re-
ceived $4,000 in insurance bonds
from her first husband, william
Traylor, who was drowned two
years ago near Baltimore. Police
found one of the bonds, of $1,000,
among Wimbley's effects.
Detective Dennis Murphy is in
Dendron. Va, the home of Mrs.
Wimbley, investigating certain
phases of the case.

WILL TURKEYS THIS YEAR BOOST HIGH
Good Time to Send Nice Fat GObbler to Some
 Needy Family
A PLEASANT SURPRISE

How high will the turkey roost this Thanksgiving? We'll, there is nothing definite on that just yet, but unless the bird wants to remain on the roost, the price will have to come within the reach of peo- pie of small means, although some say that more. turkeys will be bought and sent to families this year than ever before, by citizens who will not be particular about the cost. No doubt many will re- member their less fortunate neigh bors, but even well disposed people will want fair price and in this way make their money go as far as possible.
 Anyway, it will be good time to surprise needy families by sending them a turkey without any inform ation as who paid the bill. That's the best way you ever made pres ent to folks who might feel hurt if they thought 1t came to them as a charity offering. Find out who might have to go without a turkey unless some kindly neighbor re- membered them, and see that they get one and let 1t go at that, bear ing in mind the fact that smaller things will not go with @ reward in the future state, and that charity covers a multitude of sins.

The schoolhouse committee sees no objection to granting the peti- ton of residents of Bunker Hill, who want their children to have bus service to and from the Bunker Hill school.

The city has been fur nishing these children trolley tic- kets, but seems there is no trolley service within a reasonable distance of many of the children.
 The only joint difference between the school officials and the peti- tioners is about making three trips, one in the morning, another at noon and then again after school Is dismissed The , schoolhouse committee. to whom the matter was referred, favors granting the petition with the understanding that the bus pick up the children in the morning at their homes, and take them home after school is dismissed.

Dr Edward B. Farley was the speaker of the Health Forum at the YMCA last night. His subject was Shoes and Feet" He first de- scribed the normal foot, and it's uses and spoke of weak and de- formed feet and the treatment of same.
 Weak feet are usually found on persons who failed in youth to de- velop the muscles, fragments and fascia about the arches through play, and later subjected them to undue strain in occupations requir- ing long hours of standing. Over weight is also a cause.
 Neglected treatment often results in stiffening of the foot and caus- ing pain in legs, knees and even hip and back.
 Ordinary supports are not suffi- cient, the best results can only be obtained by made to order steel supports made over corrected plaster paris models. Actual cures take about one and one-half years.
 Shoes of calf skin with straight inner border and narrow shank and a trifle long are best. Exercise also plays an important part in maintaining good feet and correct ing weak feet.
 Dr Samuel Atkins will be the speaker next week. He will have as his subject "X-Ray" ... .. .. ..
