MARKS ANSWERS
BROWN ONCR|ME
Reports He Knew of Alleged
Gambling Place and His
Men Conducted Raid.

Capt. Sidney ]. Marks Of the
eleventh precinct replied today with
a complete denial to implications in
recent letter from his chief that
he was ignorant of the existence of
an alleged gambling establishment
within two blocks of his police station.
He had been called upon by Supt.
Of Police Ernest w. Brown to ex-
plain why he had not reported the
place, which was raided by q head
quarters squad Wednesday.
Raided Last Year.
Not only was the place known to
him, but his men raided it last year
and visited 1t again only a few weeks
ago. Marks declared In his official
report. He said the last visit failed
to disclose any signs of gaming, and
because Of this he believes that the
establishment must have been re-
opened just before the vice squad
raid.
Eleventh precinct records show the
premises was mentioned as suspected
as far back as January 2, 1894, and
was reported closed in June of last
year, Marks reported. He said 1t was
raided April 6, 1884, and Claude Cool,
who was taken in the raid wednes-
day, was arrested and charged with
permitting gaming.
Cool Was Acquitted.
Cool was said to have forfeited $25
collateral and been re-arrested on an
attachment. He was tried and &C
quilted of the gambling charge. Thir-
teen other persons taken into custody
forfeited IS each on disorderly con-
duct charges, Marks stated.
The place in question is located In
the 2400 block of Nichols avenue
southeast. Cool, the man arrested in
both raids, Is a former policeman.
At a recent meeting of police Off
cials with the Commissioners, Marks
said his precinct had no gambling
establishments. Maj. Brown called
this statement to the captains atten-
ton in demanding a report.
Brown said today he has not closed
his investigation Of the case.

BULLETIN.
ROCKVILLE, Md, May 21.-
The grand jury investigating con-
Anne Lyddane and three men,
completed its examination of wit
nesses this afternoon. 1t is ex-
pected to report tomorrow.
ROCKVILLE, Md, May al
Arthur Beall. Darnestown garage man,
and his wife, Josephine, were wit
nesses today as the grand jury pre-
pared to complete its taking of testi-
mony in an alleged murder con-
spiracy by Mrs. Anne Lyddane and
three men upon the life of Mrs. Lyd-
danes husband, Francis "Slom" Lyd-
dane.
After a dozen witnesses had gone
into the grand jury room yesterday
and this morning, 1t appeared likely
the investigation would be complete
this afternoon, although the results
probably will not be known until
Thursday, when the jury is expected
to return It's report in open court.
In a divorce suit against her hus-
band two years ago, Mrs. Beall named
Mrs. Lyddane as a correspondent.
The suit was withdrawn by Mrs.
Beall a few days later following a
settlement in which Beall transferred
to her property valued at approx
mately $4,000.
The Beall couple are now recon-
ciled and apparently happy together.
They entered the court house arm in
arm and left in the same manner
after both mad testified briefly in the
jury room.
Declined to Talk.
Both smilingly declined to discuss
their testimony with reporters, al
though Mrs. Beall was more emphatic
on this point than her husband. Beall
intimated it was the usual" line OF
questioning with regard to his friend
ship with Mrs. Lyddane.
Another witness this morning was
James McDonough, house painter
and neighbor Of the Bealls in Darnes-
town.
Newspaper men we're excluded from
the third floor Of the court house
where the jury probe is in progress
by order of Judge Charles E. Wood
ward. The grand jury investigation
is being conducted with the usual
secrecy in order to shield witnesses
from undesirable publicity.
One of the last witnesses to appear
Yesterday was Bert c. Sarrar, a Treas
ury Department handwriting expert
His appearance presumably was In
connection with a typewriter said
to have been used by Mrs. Lyddane
and recently impounded by States
Attorney James H. Pugh.
Carnell Is Witness.
Another witness yesterday was John
H. Carnell, Rockville bartender, and
alleged contact man" in the con-
spiracy, who Is said to have turned
States evidence.
The men against whom the prose-
cution seeks indictments are John
M. :Borland and Edwin H. Davis, both
of Washington, and now under ar
rest with Carnell in default Of $10,-

Offenders Fines Are Paid

Seeing that in this way the law
merely propagated what it wished
to kill. a priest and a conbler, work
ing each without the knowledge Of
the other. hit upon plan by which
these offenders could be kept in
their families and helped to over
come the evils which had thrown
them into jail in the first place.
These two men personally paid
the fines Of the offenders who
seemed to deserve such kindness.
and permitted those they had be-
friended TO repay them in small in
stallments. This also gave such
kindly folk a chance TO visit the Of
Tenders and see what had caused the
fall by the side of SOciety'S highway.
Usually an adjustment could be
arranged: a better Job found for the
overburdened man hospital care if
necessary. attention for his children,
a more sanitary home. or a can Of
paint to restore responsibility to the
old home.
The Law gradually examined these
efforts as contraSted with its own
Incarceration, instead Of curing,
deepened the soreness Of anti-social
attitude ~ made II a spreading
disease rather than a durable all
ment. It taught the criminal what
he would better have remained ig-
norant of. took from him the ability
TO depend on his earning power, and
g =
simple methods of the priest and the
cobbler made a far wOrthier citizen
Of him than did the bulldozlng OF
guards. The probation system was
devised.

Penalty of Fines Initiated

Somewhere along the line some
one got the idea Of suggesting that
ne pay the state the equivalent Of
the service which he would be to
the state, thus came the payment
OF fines The costs of the court
came into being as the realization
came that only a small proportion of
society made courts necessary. and
therefore those who made them
necessary should pay the costs.
This appeals 10 just mind. Yet
we have sometimes two men who
committed the same crime. one very
poor and the other perhaps not so
poor. one can hand an amount OF
money 10 the clerk for his fine: the
other can not. The first may walk
down the street. free. to his family
and his Job. The second must look
out at him from behind the bars,
thinking Of his Job now lost and
his family unprovided for. Is this
justice?
Further. the second man comes
out from behind the bars thinking
that he has been treated unjustly.
he finds his family in a sad state OF
affairs; he can not find another job
Nothing but a repetition Of crime
can keep him and his family alive
Instead Of a mere first offender. an
other public enemy has been
created.
