WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-Mere-

Upon recommendation of the

lex Van Mugs, who was instrumental
in securing the original Nicholson
appointment, is a member. There is
no doubt of approval, it is said.
Minister Nicholson is credited
with very adept handling Of the
Paraguayan post in the difficult days
of the long drawn-out Chaco war
fare. 1t was this ability as a di-
plomat which brought the new re-
ward high officials declared.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholson, when the
new appointment is approved, will
leave their palatial home at Ascun-
cion for new and lovely mansion

POLICE MOVE AGAINST
AMBULANCE CHASERS
Meet a Man Radio Accident Call,
Is Changed in Drive.

An effort to outwit the ambulance
chasing lawyer was repealed yeSter-
day, when Chief Mike MorrisSey
ordered a change in the verbal
legend which dispatches radio pa
trolmen to the scene of an accident.
No longer will the phrase, meet
a man," send police cruisers land
legal lights to the place of mishap.
A new and undiScloSed phrasing has
been adopted and henceforth will
be a call to arms.
The innovation, it is said. is
necessitated by the undue confusion
and hindrance which police expert
ence when arriving at an accident
only TO find the victims receiving
legal instead of medical attention.

CASE GOES
To JURY
MONDAY
10 to ! or 9 to 2 for AcquittaI
Is Consensus of Opinion of
1 Gambling Fraternity

Gamblers were betting 10 to ]
today that Sam Beard and his
~ codefendants will be found
not guilty in the gambling con-
spiracy trial which ended alb
suptly at noon.
This was learned as the de-
Tense rested suddenly after in
PRODUCING only a few character
witnesses for one of the 10 de-
PENDANTS, and plans were made
for final arguments to the jury
Monday.
No Reason Given
Police declared the Washing
ton underworld feels that the
case is "in the bag" and for that
reason is offering big odds on no
conviction. Lieut.. George Little,
head of the vice squad which
staged the raid on the alleged
Beard headquarters in the 900
block G st. N. w. last october,
trapping the IS men. said:
"Members of my squad have
been told that the odds of 10 to
I are being offered that there
is no conviction. The talk all
over town is that the case is lin
the bag They do not say If
there is q plant ON the jury or
what, but they are sure Of no
conviction"
Members of the vice squad said
that they had been informed the
betting was that the jury would
stand 8 to or 10 to l for con-
Viction, with resultant mistrial.
2S-Minute Defense
There have been many rumors
of a plant" on the jury, the off.
GERS said. The assistant United
States attorneys who have prose
cuted the case, John FINELY and
Roger Robb, refused to comment.
After the Government had
pounded away at the portly Beard
and his codefendants for almost
five days, it took the defense but
% minutes to present their case
and the trial ended with an
other demonstration of fireworks.
Overlooking Beard entirely, the
defense confined itself to bring.
ing on a number of character
witnesses, all of whom testified
to the good reputation of Willie
Carroll, one of the 10 defendants.
Congressman Aid
Two congressman, Representa-
tive Patrick Boland Cd, of
Pennsylvania and Representative
John j. Delaney CD, of New
York, were included in the list
of defense witnesses.
They were not in court but it
was stipulated that they would
testify as to the good character
Of Carroll.
