Hash Is Guilty
OF Manslaughter
In Patricide Case
Rockville Jury, After Record
Trial, Returns Decision
Against Youth

Lowell Hash, 22-year-old Ounce
Orchard resident, was convicted Of
manslaughter in the death of his
father, Edgar J. Hash, by a jury in
the Montgomery County Circuit Court
Saturday. Sentence was deferred.
The jury, which was given the case
at 2:15 o'clock Saturday morning
after the longest continuous court
session in the county's history, delib-
Grated for hours and 10 minutes be-
fore returning it's verdict at 9:25 A.
M. The maximum penalty for man.
slaughter is 10 years in the State
penitentiary.
Testimony of Addison Phipps, a
first cousin of the defendant, who
struck and fatally injured his A
year-old father with an iron pipe dur
ing an alteration in a barn on the
Hash dairy farm at Ounce Orchard
last June, is believed to have played
an important part in the jury's de-
cision.
Shortly before the case was given
to the jury, Phipps, employed by the
elder Hash at the time of the alterca-
ton, told the court that young Hash
struck his father while the latter was
seated on a milking stool and that the
father made no attempt to attack his
son, as claimed in tie elf-defense plea.
The defendant, whose testimony
was corroborated in part by his two
brothers said that his father grabbed
metal stool he was using in milking
cows at the time and. rushed toward
the son with the stool appraised as If
to strike him. Carried back by the
onslaught, the witness said, Lowell
Hash grabbed pipe and struck his
father several times, telling him.
Young Hash said Phipps was in a
nearby dairy room at the time of the
alteration and could not have seer
what transpired. Several witnesses
who testified that Phipps had since
remarked to them he did not see
what had transpired in the barn, also
were presented.
Testimony also was introduced IN
an effort to show that Phipps, who
was discharged by young Hash and
his mother three months after the
death of the elder Hash, has testlneo
AGAINST the defendant to revenge
his dimsissal.
Hash said that his father was drink
ing at the time of the alteration. he
testified that he asked his father
which pasture he should use to turn
out the COWS for the night and was
told by the latter that he didn't give
damn" where they were put.
His father, the witness said, then
grabbed up a milking stool, rushed
toward him and struck at him several
times. He said that he believed his
father, who had threatened both ms
life and that of his mother on several
occasions, intended to kill him ano
he seized the pipe and struck him ov-
or the head. The elder Hash died IN
the Montgomery County General Hos
pital later that night.
The case went to trial Friday at
1920 A. M, and was given to tne
Jury Saturday morning after 10
hour session, which was halted only
for brief intermissions and recesses
for meals.

MY CABIN By ANNE CAMPBELL

SHALL have a cabin with no | pictures in it. There will be wide windows gleam-
 ing in the sun. Every oaken frame will hold land
 scape in 1t, Changing in the morning and the
 setting sun. Nothing ever painted will excel the splendor Of the lovely scenes that bless my
 weary gaze. Dawn will come with fingers silver
 tipped and slender, And the midnight moon will leave
 her misty ways. Paintings cannot tempt me when the
 hills and valleys March outside my window in eter-
 nal pride. From my hilltop cabin where the
 east wind dallfes, l shall see the treasures Time has
 deified.

SOME BABIES LIKE sNAKEsi

TWO groups of months ! old infants were placed in two separate rooms-and snakes permit ted to run around among them. Oh, yes, the snakes were harmless. had less possibility for harm even than any newborn puppy!
 Now for the result. The group of children from normal homes screamed with fright. The other, consisting of babies born and raised in the hospital, allowed the snakes to crawl over them-in fact, they watched them with delight r
 The point made by the scientists who sponsored that experiment Is that our fears are not natural or instinctive, but implanted. The ba' bies in the hospital had been iso. lated from the fear suggestions against snakes which are planted in most children.
 All that Is, of course, of interest

to us. What Is more important to all of us, is the implications, which we cannot escape, that in every de- pertinent of life we "grow our own fears"
 The worries which, according to doctors, are the chief burden of modern life, therefore the worries that kill, are the result of special fears. And so many of those spe- cial fears have no more basis In fact than the fear of children against the wiggling snake. So many of our fears are implanted and cul- tivated long before there can pos sibly be any sense to them.
 It would be good plan to take inventory" of our fears, to bring them out in the open, set them up where we can look all around them and analyze them and track then down-to what they really are.
 There is one fear-or distrust, which is the same thing-that is perhaps more of a burden to us in everyday life than any other. That Is the one that has to do with peo- ple=because they happen to be diff ferent from ourselves. Adults in this enlightened age allow their viewpoints to- be warped by no more intelligent distrust than that of the child who has a horror of any Chi nese because ".yellow men eat chll- dren" and of Italians because a de mented Italian "burnt the barn down." Fear myths of that kind, of course, exist In direct proportion with ignorance. But there are some so deep-rooted emotionally that even education does not always eliminate them. We can combat them only by bringing them out in the open and testing ourselves against them the way scientists test to over come their doubts.

 At Wilby the faculty meeting was held at 8:30 and students meetings followed, while similar sessions were held at Leavenworth following the assembly of the faculty at S:00 o'clock.
 For the first time in many years there was 8 minimum of confusion at the grammar schools, due to the fact that double sessions are now thing of the past in all the primary grades. Com binations of classes and transfers of pupils, together with extensive repairs made at Chase and Mary Abbott schools have eliminated the neces- sity of the stagger system.

5,00O,0O0 of Them in New York Guarded Like So
 Much Gold

Washington, Sept. 5-(UP)-No shipment of U. S. gold ever was moved with more precision and caution than that attending the four block transfer of 5,00O,0O0 criminal fingerprint records of the Department of Justice. Indexed cards of more than 5000 of Amer ica's most dangerous kidnapers, murderers extortionists and gang sters were moved intact here in D. 900 file cases. Federal officers stood guard throughout the trans fer, described as one of the most precise and best planned moving day for any federal unit.
 Hundreds of outlaws unquestion- ably would have welcomed the chance to stage holdup and ran- sack the files for their fingerprints. The records, invaluable to the gov ernment and state police forces, had been collected over a period of 10 years. In case of loss they could not be duplicated. The divi- sion of investigation of the depart ment was the first unit moved to a new building on Pennsylvania avenue. Within a month the entire department will be housed under one roof. the first time in many years Fingerprint records will be safeguarded with all modern in- ventions in the new section. Fire. long a peril in the old building, will not cause J. Edgar Hoover, di- rector, and his associates to fear whenever they hear the wall of siren.
