IL am. today at which time Shoe

asked for another continuance in the
case, saying "he understood" the
Representative was in the West.
Assistant United States Attorney
David A. Hart objected to another
continuance, pointing out that three
other requests for a continuance had
been granted. Judge Given said:
I'm view of these other continu-
ances, it begins to look like he is going
to ignore this court"
Judge Given then ordered the writ
issued and declared the S25 collateral
which Shoemaker posted on his arrest
forfeited.

tive Raymond ]. Cannon of Wiscon-

asked to withdraw as Shoemaker's
counsel He said he told Shoemaker
several weeks ago he would not rep
resent him again, and said he disap-
proved of the Minnesotans tactics in
the case.
Cannon told the court the United
States attorneys Office and the court
itself had been more than fair" in
their treatment of the Representative.

Representative of the United States
should not see fit to appear"
When the writ ordered by Judge
Given is issued, a warrant for Shoe

Newman charges that Shoemaker
drove up behind his automobile at an
intersection. and, because the cab
driver did not move quickly enough in
response to a go" traffic signal,
bumped the car several times. Later
Shoemaker is alleged to have got out
of his automobile and struck Newman
several times.

ARREST MAY SOLVE
Staying OF STILES
Coiored Man, Found in Jail,
Is Reported to Have
Confessed.

Solution Of the double killing Of
Newell T. Stiles, 35-year-old bank
teller, and James johnson, SO, colored
was claimed by homicide squad de-
tectives today after the arrest Of Harry
M. Duvall. 25. colored, 500 block of NJ
street.
Duvall. according TO Detective Ser2t.
George E. Darnall, chief of the squad,
confessed firing on both Stiles and
johnson a week ago Saturday night
Previously, Darnall said, Duvall had
been identified by two witnesses.
Duvall was arrested Friday on =
charge of intoxication. In Police
Court the next day he was sentenced
to 10 days in jail. Meanwhile. how
ever. Detective Sergts. A. M. Tolson
and Clyde N. Strange had been max
ing an intensive search for him, fol-
lowing receipt of a tip.
Identified by Woman.
When the detectives learned Of Du-
wallis arrest, they obtained a court
order for his release from Jail and
took him to police headquarters, where
he was picked from a lineup Of seven
men. One of the persons who identi-
fed him, according to Darnall, was
Miss Fanny Robinson, colored, l40O
block of N street. who was with John
son at the time of the shooting.
johnson, according to Miss Robin
son. was shot at Ninth and N streets
after he voiced objections to Duvalls
advances to the woman. After the
shooting. Darnan said, Duvall fed
through an alley TO the 900 block Of
M street. where he encountered Stiles
AS the bank teller stepped from his
parked automobile, Duvall called TO
him:
What do you think you are look
ing at?"
Victims Died Tuesday.
Before Stiles could answer, Duvall
opened fire, sending two bullets into
his abdomen. Johnson also had been
shot once in the abdomen. Both men
died Tuesday, Stiles in Emergency
Hospital and johnson in Garfield
Hospital.
Stiles, an employe of the Security
Savings and Commercial Bank. Ninth
and G streets, lived at l4l0 Military
road. He was the father Of two small
children.
An inquest probably will be held to-
morrow.
Duvall was arrested as a suspect in
the murder of Park Policeman Milo
Kennedy in Logan Circle about two
years ago, according to Darnall. who
said:
1T looks as though Duvall de-
liberately had himself arrested for
drunkenness, believing it would steer
us off his trail We were about to
arrest him anyway. and he evidently
thought that being in Jail would let
him out, as far as we were con-
cerned. AS soon as we learned Of
his arrest, however, We went to work
on him"

DIVORCE PLANNED
BY JEAN HARLOW
Blond Actress Will Base Suit
on Grounds of Incom-
patabiIity. !
BY the Associated Press.

ny IHe ASSOCldLeu fTeSS.
HOLLYWOOD. Calf, May Jean
Harlow. blonde film actress and her
third husband, Harold G. Rosson, have
separated. She has announced that
she intends to seek a divorce on
grounds of incompatability.
Only a few hours after she had
served as the matron of honor at a
wedding yesterday, the screen star
announced she had packed her belong
ings and left their Beverly Hills home
She said she would file suit for divorce
against her cinematographer husband
as soon as her film work would permit
This is not matter of one being
wrong or the other being right" said
the actress. 1T is simply a question
of both of us being sensible people and
realizing it is better for us to admit
failure.
Likens Marriage to Business.
There was no specific reason. Mar
riage can be likened to business and
If person doesn't make a go of it, it
is the logical thing, l feel, to be big
enough to admit failure rather than
try to conceal it. With Us marriage
Just didn't work and we realize it is
for the best to separate.
There is no i'll feeling between us
and l sincerely hope we can always
remain friends
Rosson could not be reached for a
statement.
Miss Harlow's announcement did not
come as a complete surprise in the
film colony, for there had been rumors
of a separation. The couple eloped
to Yuma. Ariz., last September 18.
The actress marital life has been
one of tragedy. She was married first
at the age of Is to Charles F. McGreW,
I'd, of Chicago. they separated after
two years. Charging cruelty, she OBJ
tanned a divorce in January. 1881.
In June, 1882. she was married to
Paul Bern, film director, at the home
of her parents here. Three months
later he shot himself to death. A few
days later Dorothy Millette. who
claimed to be the common law wife
of the director. leaped to her death
from the deck of a Sacramento River
steamer.
Seek Half of Estate.
Last January 81, German A. Koch,
Sacramento public administrator, filed
suit here seeking half the Bern estate
under will filed for probate October
81. 1892 He said Bern had continued
to support Miss Millette until within
few days of his death. She had no
heirs, Koch said He fixed the value
of the estate at S24,037 exclusive Of
four insurance policies which totaled
$4,000. The actress is opposing the
action.
Rosson wooed the blond widow
while they were on location in the
Arizona desert. He previously had
been married to Miss Nina Byron and
they were divorced in 1926
Miss Harlow appeared first in COM
edy film roles in 1929 and advanced to
stardom in "Hells Angels"
Rosson had attended the marriage
of Carey Wilson, screen writer. and
Carmelita Geraghty, actress. at which
Miss Harlow was matron of honor.
