MRS. MADDOX PINS
HOPES ON HEARING.
Defense Attorneys Will Try
to Free KiIIeen Slayer
Next Week.
BY Stan Correspondent of The Star,

BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, December g.
A determined effort to free Mrs. Lii
lian Maddox of the charge of mur-
dering Edward v. (Eddie) Killeen
will be made upon her arraignment
in Police Court Thursday for a pre-
liminary hearing into the Staying Of
the notorious Washington gambler.
Police admittedly have been un-
able to discover any flaw in the story
of self-defense told by Killeens 35-
year-old paramour, and defense at
torneys are carefully preparing for a
vigorous endeavor to have Police JUS
tice Harold C. Smith quash the charge
IN his court
State Satisfied.
The State itself announced today
that it is satisfied" with Mrs. Mad
dox's story that she shot and killed
Killeen when he attacked her and
threatened her life during drinking
bout at his Brookmont, Md, home two
weeks ago.
States Attorney James H. Pugh
declared that 80 far as the county is
concerned We are satisfied that the
Staying occurred in the manner de-
scribed by Mrs Maddox"
] 1t had been said unofficially that
detectives spent days in an attempt to
discover any possible flaw that might
exist in the woman's account of the
shooting and in dispelling any sus-
picion that the killing occurred in
some other manner.
RumOrs Groundless.
Underworld rumors that Mrs. Mad
dox might have been hired by rival
gambling interests to rub out"
Killeen, or was paid TO secrete a gun
man in the Brookmont home which
she and Killeen frequented, so that
the overload of Washington gambling
might be disposed of, were proven
groundleSs.
The preliminary hearing was set for
10 o'clock Thursday morning after a
conference between States Attorney
Pugh and State Senator Stedman
Prescott Of Rockville and Harry
Whealan of Washington, attorneys for
Mrs. Maddox, who has been confined
in the local jail since the Staying.
The hearing was originally sched-
uled for this week, but postponed be-
cause Senator Prescott was engaged in
@ trial in Prince Georges County.

ISOLATED with an inflatiOnary
juggling Of our money, that one
hesitates to touch it. Never
theless, there is every indication
that the new dealers are bent
upon Cheapening the dollar by
giving dollars away for great
deal of Overvalued silver. The
game is to put silver up by put
ting dollars down.
This operation will be over
discounted, and sharp specula-
tive reactions will occur. But
one may guess that silver will
eventually become still more
valuable in terms Of paper dol

the best silver stocks will be
bought by shrewd spectators.
The amazing point is that such
stocks did not jump until day

was getting ready for a general
bear market in anticipation of
recession in business.
AS to the general business fac
