Suspect Accused of Setting

two daughters died in a fire that
destroyed their home in Fran

charged with their Staying and
with arson.
He is alleged to have set the
house afire, allowing his wife,
Nellie, 40, and the daughters, Be-
atrice, 10, and Frances, IL, to per.
ish in the flames, thus paving the
way to collection of large
amount of insurance on the lives
Of the three victims and on the
dwelling.
Lived in Alexandria
Sheriff E. P. Kirby, of Fairfax
county, said it was the insurance
angle of the case that started
an investigation shortly after the
fire late the night of last October
%. On Saturday, Sheriff Kirby
requested Wise's father.in-law.
Harry Javins, to sign a warrant
and Wise was taken into custody
Saturday night at his home in
Alexandria, where he has lived
since the tragedy.
Sheriff Kirby said Wise would
be brought before a trial justice
for arraignment, but the date is
uncertain. If Wise is bound over
to the grand jury. the sheriff said,
commemorative Attorney Farr,
the sheriff and other officials will
appear to ask his indictment.
According to Wise's story at the
time Of the fire, the women were
trapped upstairs by flames sweep
ing the stairway. He said he
shouted to them to go out a win
dow onto the porch, and that
while they clambered out he ran
to get a ladder to rescue them.
When he reached the porch, he
said. the women had disappeared
inside the house.
Wise Severely Burned
His efforts to reach the women
inside the house were baked by
the flames. Wise continued. Neigh
borS found Wise with severe burns
m his hands and arms and he
was taken to the Alexandria hos
pital.
A son, Woodrow Wise, 81, who
was on the ground floor, escaped
uninjured.
The daughter, Beatrice, a grad
uate of the Lee-Jackson High
School, near Alexandria, in 1882,
was employed in a Washington
department store. Frances was a
freshman in the Lee-Jackson
school.

Complying with the request by
the Public Utilities Commission
that it's complete independence be
maintained, the District Commis.

sioners obtaining any voice in the
transactions of the utility unit.
School Freedom Planned
The Commissioners are consid.
ering a revision of the bill giving
them larger powers, granting ex
emption to both the Board of Edu
cation and the board Of trustees
of the Public Library.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
said the arguments presented at
a recent public hearing had con.
vinced him that these two boards
should not come under the juriS-
diction of the Commissioners.
Another provision of the bill
which has raised a storm of pro,
test is the clause enlarging the
police powers of the District heads.
Dictatorship Charged
The Commissioners would be
given the power to prevent any
large body or group of persons
from entering the District when
lit appears evident to said Com
missioners that such persons will
cause disorder or tend to disturb
the orderly transaction of public
or private business"
The regulation, it is charged in
complaints, would give the Com
missioners dictatorial powers on
who would be permitted to enter
the city.
Commissioner George E. Allen
announced that there are two
courses open to the Commission.
ers in revising the bill.
One is to rephrase it before it
is submitted to Congress, the
other to allow the bill to be in,
troduced in Congress in it's pres
ent state and leave it up to the
legislators to whip it into final
form.

Money Thefts
In all cases in which young Penn
was charged with taking property
without right, theft of small sums
of money was involved, the records
show. In most instances other
boys were implicated with Penn.
/. Defends Action
Denying reports that she had
sentenced the boys to a six-year
term, until they reach the age
of 81, Judge Bentley said:
I'm the first place, there Is
no such thing as a sentence in
Juvenile Court. A. youth is COM
mitted to an institution for an
indeterminate period.
RECORD AGAINST THEM
"It always has been my prac-
tice to grant probation if posi-
BILE, and especially on a first
OffenSe. But / felt in this case,
in view of the boys records, I
could not grant them prOba.
ton.
II felt that the only solution
was to commit. them to the Ma
tiOnal Training School, where
they will be given every atten-
ton.
ut will be up to the boys to
make good, and as soon as the
school authorities feel that they
may safely be returned to their
homes, they will be granted pa
role.
"This may be done in six
months, or a year, or longer,
depending on the boys them
selves. The school authorities
are anxious to rehabilitate the
boys placed in their care, and
cooperate in every way to help
them come back.
PROCEDURE EXPLAINED
"A youth may be committed
until reaching the age of ma
jOrity, FL, but l have never
known of a boy who has served
more than 20 months in the
place before being released on
probation.
when the authorities are sat
iSfied that he can make good if
given another chance, then he
is released to his parents or
friends.
II considered this case very
carefully before l committed
these two boys. The case is now
out of my hands. The school of.
ficials now have the boys, and
will do everything to help them.
II consider there has been
gross misrepresentation about
this case, and I am willing to
present all the facts before any
inquisitOrial body that may be
called.
81 believe that the course I
have taken is the best thing for
the boys themselves"
The Washington times., 1935-01-21

The Department of Justice to-
day began an investigation of
Judge Fay Bentley's action in
Juvenile Court of sentencing two
15.year-old high school students
to the National Training School
for Boys for "joyriding" g"-taking
an automobile without the own
er's consent.
Judge Bentley, defending her
action, asserted that she did not
sentence the boys for any speci-
fled term, and denied that she
had fixed the sentence until they
reached the age of 81.
But the commitment papers,
made out and signed by the
woman jurist, carry the words:
&c. he be committed to the
National Training School for
Boys until reformed or until 81
years of age"
The words until 81 years of
age" had been typewriter in,
directly above Judge Bentley's sig
nature.
Judge Out of Office
Efforts to reach the Judge to
ask her to explain this diScrep-
ancy were unavailing. Although
she had been at her office today,
she left before Ralph Cusick, at
torney engaged by the parents of
the two boys, Billy Tanning and
Arthur Penn, arrived to file a
motion to set aside the Judgment.
Judge Bentley's secretary said
she had left to "attend a meet
ing" and would not be back at
her office today.
Mr.. Cusick filed his motion
with the clerk of the court and
said he would be in court again
tomorrow to argue it. The motion
lists IL alleged errors by the
woman jurist, asserting that the
boys were denied their const1tu-
tional rights.
Attorney Cusick was asked to
bring the parents of the boys to
the Department of Justice and
make their complaints about the
action of Judge Bentley.
Father Is Bitter
Frank Tanning. contractor and
father of one of the boys, COM
planned bitterly, saying:
"These boys were not given a
chance. Even a murderer gets
a fair trial. These boys did not.
Even Hauptmann is being
given a fair and impartial trial,
and these boys are certainly en-
titled to more consideration than
they received"
Mrs. Tanning said her son took
the automobile because he was
frightened" She said:
"He had been ordered to re-
port to the Juvenile Court for
truancy, and he was scared to
death. He wanted to get to his
grandmother's home down at
NarrOws, Va, and so he took the
first car he saw to get there.
He is not a bad boy but was just
frightened"
Young Tanning has no court
record other than this truancy
charge. The Penn youth has a
long record, however. His mother
said he began associating with a
crowd of older boys when he was
only 10 years old and they got him
into trouble.
