ELLICOTT CITY, Md, March 26.-
A jury made up largely of Howard
County farmers, with an Ellicott City
insurance agent as foreman, was
chosen in a little more than half an
hour this morning to try Berry E.
Clark. former clerk to the Board of
Montgomery County Commissioners,
on a charge of embezzlement of county
funds.
The case was brought to this county
seat after the State had requested a
change Of venue following three trials
by Montgomery County juries, all of
which failed to reach decision.
Judge Forsythe Presiding.
The trial is being presided over by
Judge William Henry Forsythe, jr., of
Sykesville. in the historic Howard
County Court House. States Attor-
ney Stedman Prescott of Montgomery
County, who handled the prosecution
single-handed in the three previous
trials, is being assisted in the fourth
hearing by James Clark, States at
torney for Howard County.
Appearing in the defendants behalf
are Attorneys Albert M. Bouic and F.
Barnard Welsh Of Rockville and Jo-
seph P. Donovan of Ellicott City.
Only about haf-doZen of the 20
special veniremen summoned in addi-
ton to the regular panel of IS jurors
in the case were called upon to COM
plete the jury, although the defense
exercises more than a dozen peremp-
tory challenges.
James F. Clarke, Ellicott City, was
chosen foreman of the jury when
the defense challenged Edward E.
Bealmear, first man chosen, after the
jury had been formed. Other jurors
are:
Lawrence Phelps. Clinton NJ. Eas-
ton, Homer D. Mclean. Henry L. Eyre.
George A. Humphrey. George w. Mills,
L. Walter Dorsey, Milton L. Baxley.
William H. Hanson, Phillip German
and Talbot G. Shipley.
Shortage Given As $4,000.

Board of Montgomery County Com
missioners two years ago when an
audit of his accounts is alleged to
have disclosed a shortage of approx
imately $4,000 in county funds en-
trusted to his care.

bezzlement of S426. The same indict-
ment was used in the three previous

Mr. ArviZu was heard in two groups
of Mexican songs of the type that
has won him fame in his own coun-
try. His voice, a light tenor of in
sinuating quality, came over with
good effect, even when using the
falsetto which he employed more
than is usual for a tenor of his
range, in the upper register. His
manner of singing his numbers, which
in any other language or any other
type of song would have been senti-
mental, was appropriately warm in
feeling and won him several recalls.
Fine understanding was evidenced in
the accompaniments of Harry Wagner
of the Army Band
Two folk dances, one Of Mexico.

GARDENERS skill in interpreting dances
of Spanish character has basis of
sound technique that is the outcome
of studious research in this field. A
