PUC|L|ST ACCUSED
OF TORCH MURDER
Staying of Manuel Silva,
Spanish Sailor, Laid
to Step-son, Fl.
BY staff Correspondent of The Star.


FREDERICK, Md, November 10
Sunday Solution of the mystery
surrounding the murder of Manuel
Silva, 45-year-old Spanish seaman,
whose charred body was discovered
early yesterday on a lonely Mont
gomery County road. was announced
this morning by States Attorney
Sherman P. Bowers.
A charge of murder was lodged
against Alfred Brown, colored. 81
year-old step-Son of the murdered
man and a professional boxer, after
Montgomery and Frederick County
authorities questioned relatives and
Frederick County Jail
Brown denied he had any part in
the killing. Bowers declared that the
body of the murder victim, which was
charred virtually beyond recognition,
had been definitely identified through
a set of false teeth and that the State
has conclusive evidence" that Silva
was slain during an argument with his
step-son at their home in Doubs, Md,
on Thursday morning.
Sister Accuses Brown.
Bowers holds the murder occurred
during a brawl between the two men
as a climax to series OF argu-
ments which had taken place since
Silva accused his step-son of stealing
a chicken from him two weeks before.
Police have a. statement given them
this morning by Mrs. Blanche Smith,
colored, a sister of the accused man,
disclosing that the murder occurred
during the argument. Gladys Har-
ris. colored, a cousin of Brown, also
was examined by investigators and is
regarded as a material witness in the
case, according to the States at
torney
Reconstructing the, story told by
witnesses, Bowers said he has infor-
nation disclosing that Brown and
Silva engaged in a fight at the house
on Thursday morning, the former
welding a foot-length iron pipe and
Silva using a knife. According to
Bowers, Silva was struck over the
head with the pipe and the latter
collapsed with a fractured skull,
which an autopsy performed in Rock
vile yesterday afternoon had dis
closed to be the actual cause of the

thusisstic army of Community Chest
volunteers is ready to launch tomor-
row city-wide drive for at least ST.

if human needs are to be alleviated
n Washington in 1896.
Convinced by a careful survey that

actual starvation, threatens the city's
destitute If the minimum relief fund
is not secured, the Chest army will
push forward determinedly in the
hope of exceeding the bare goal by a

The exceptionally critical situation
this year is the result of cutting off
from the District of Columbia of Fed

last night by DR.. William Mcclellan

to be the absolute minimum with
which the IS agencies affiliated with
the Community Chest can carry out

based on the understanding that Fed

for major relief needs. Withdrawal

auditor of the District, at a recent
meeting of Chest campaigners. He
said hunger and privation will plague
the Nations Capital unless the extra

raised.
Maj. Donovan explained that Dis

sufficient to care for the 5000 fam
lilies in which there is no employable
person and that this leaves nothing
for the unemployed except what may
be raised in addition to the Chest
goal.

Teeth Expectancy
Figures Worked Out

What it the life expectancy of your
teeth?
Speaking statistically, you can ex-
pect to hang onto your first perman-
emit molar for 1872 years if you are
six years old and 1872 years if you are
60.
These are the figures on tooth NOR
tality in general that were worked
out and presented recently to the
New York State Dental society by
DR.. Thaddeus P. Wyatt of New York.
According to Dir. Wyatt's table,
based upon actual histories in thous-
ands of cases, the first permanent
molar is lost more often between the
ages of IL and Is years. Thus, if you
hang onto your permanent teeth dur
ing the critical period up to 20 years,
your statistical chances of having
them at 60 are good.
Based upon these tables, DR.. Wyatt
advised particular care of the teeth
in this 20 year period.
