where his family was well known. His

Killeen's criminal record extends
over a long period of time, but he
has had only three serious brushes
with the law, emerging victorious in
each case.
Once Tried for Murder.
His first major difficulty came In
1921. when he was brought to trial
in Rockville on charge of numbering
Mrs. Bessie Harris during a party al
the Cabin John Hotel. Mrs. Harris
allegedly was shot down when she
attempted to separate Killeen and
Burnett w. Tanner in a fight. Six
months later Killeen was acquitted
but on the following day pretty Eve
lyn La Rue, who had testified for the
gambler, died of an overdose of poison
in Washington hotel.
Some six years ago he was tried in
Rockville on gambling charges and
again acquitted.
In 1880 ne was defendant in a
sensational gambling trial in District
Supreme Court. The jury was out
Tor hours, but finally found him not
guilty.
He was arrested numerous times
for petty offenses, beginning on Nav.
9, 1906.
Paid Small Fines.
In 1925 the grand jury ignored
gaming charges against him. Other
arrests were for drunkenness. disor-
derly conduct, assault and vaprancv.
On none Of these did he serve a iail
sentence. In 1907 he paid a SIS fine
on a gaming charge and in 1925 he
forfeited $50 on similar allegation.

sam Beard, another gambler leader,
VINO was recently convicted for the
f1rst time in his life of gaming charges.
several years ago, when Beard was
sent to Jail following his conviction
Tor violating income tax laws, Killeen
reputedly took over and operated
Boards gaming establishments.
Only few months ago Killeen was
taken before the District grand Jury
and asked to identify a safe and an
adding machine found in one of
Boards gambling houses. Killeen,
however, refused on the ground the
testimony might tend to incriminate
himself.
Police said they had evidence the
safe and adding machine were pur-
chased by Killeen for Beard.
