2 Policemen Charged
With Rough Arrest

men said, Mrs. HUNT declined to
tell where her son was.
At this juncture a younger son
entered the room; pointed to an
adjoining room, and told the po-
lice:
"He's in there"
BROUGHT OUT PRISONER
Policeman Cardona forced open
the door of the indicated room
and a few minutes later emerged
with his prisoner. When the
youth was arraigned in Police
Court later in the day, he de-
manded a jury trial.
Bail was originally set at 500
but was raised to $500 when the
policemen told the court of their
difficulty in making the arrest.
Mr.. HUNT told Captain Groves
that he intended to carry his COM
plant against the two officers to
higher police officials. He said
the policemen broke a door at
his home in making the arrest
and declared the whole affair
grew out of his refusal to pay a
dental bill for the Hilder youth.
Young HUNT is employed as a
clerk in a store.

Complaint against alleged rough
tactics employed by two Twelfth
Precinct policemen in arresting
a 19-year-old youth on an assault
charge, was lodged today with
Capt. Hugh H. Groves, precinct
commander, by R. S. Hunt, father
of the youth, 200 block S st. N. E..
The trouble started last Thurs
day. The youth, Richard Hunt,
got into a fight with Richard
Hilder, of Glen Carlyn, Va, a cap
tain in the Tech High School
cadet corps, during drill period
at the school grounds. Young
Hilder lost a front tooth as a
result of the encounter.
SwOre Out Warrant
The vanquished cadet captain,
after complaining to police, swore
out a warrent for young Hunts
arrest on the assault charge. Po-
licemen G. w. Cardona and H. A.
Frank called at the Hunt apart
ment on S Street at 7::30 a. m.
yesterday to serve the warrant.
Mrs. Hunt requested the po-
licemen to leave the warrant with
her, declaring she would bring
the youth to the station later.
When they refused, the police

Chemical Analysis Awaited
In Autopsy; Dying Woman
MumbIed to Doctors

Harry c. Nickunn, an engineer
employed on a. Treasury Depart
ment construction project, was
being held for investigation in
Hyattsville, Md, today as police
awaited the results of an autopsy
on the body. of his wife, Mrs.
Henrietta E. Nickum.
Attending physicians told po-
lice that she murmQred "some-
thing about being, poisoned" be-
fore she died last night at Provi-
dence Hospital.
Members of the dead worDA4A'S
family discounted poison theory,
saying an elder sister died some
time ago Of apoplexy, accom-
panied by the same symptoms of
which Mrs. Nickum complained.
Scout Poison Theory
No charge has been placed
against the husband. A Magruder
Macdonald, District coroner, ex.
planned that it will be several days
before the chemical analysis of
the woman's body has been COM
pleted.
Mrs. M. ]. Dodson, 1900 block
Rhode Island Ave. N. E., said the
NickumS were very devoted and
secuted the theory she had died
Of poison.
This contention was supported
by Mrs. Nickum's son, Wilton
Todd, 26, of HyattSville, and Mrs.
j. w. Brown, her sister, of the
Rhode Island Avenue address.
Peculiar Symptoms
On the other hand, DR.. Mac
Donald said that DR.. Martin j.
Keane, of Riverdale, who had
been called in on the case, told
him that Mrs. Nickum had symp-
tons which were more or less
unexplainable."
DIR, Keane also told the cor
oner that a neighbor of the
Nickums informed him that Mrs.
Nickum had complained to her
OF being poisoned.
Mr.. Todd said he thought his
mother was probably delirious
just before her DEATH"
Analysis Awaited
Mrs. Nickum also has a daugh-
ter, Mrs. j. r. Lieb, 80, of Balti.
more, who is employed in the
District Attorneys office there.
The Nickums had been married %
years. It was Mrs. Nickum's Sec
ond marriage.
DR.. Macdonald, after complet-
ing the autopsy at the District
Morgue, said he could not make
q statement until after the chem
ical analysis was completed.
The chemical analysis is being
made, it was learned, because the
preliminary autopsy is said not to

of Representative Wright Patman
O), of Texas, the group moved
swiftly toward their report of the

ABC Board to suspend as well as
revoke licenses, fixes the final
hour for consumption Of liquor in
public places at 2 a. m. on week
days and IL midnight Saturdays
and provides for the amount OF
advertising manufacturers may
supply in retail establishments.
The committee authorized an
amendment to the bill which
would reduce the tax on light
wines.
Under the committee amend
ments the tax on light wines OF
less than IA per cent would be
reduced from IS cents to 10
cents per gallon.
Curb on Advertising
Another a m n d m mt would
limit to $40 the amount Of ad-
vertising material a manufacturer
could give to retailers.

adopted the Ellenbogen bill de-
signed for this purpose.

President Indicates Message
Rejecting Patman Bill
Will Not Wait Long
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service


The Patman bill, directing
immediate cash payment Of adj
justed service certificates for
Americas World War veterans,
was withheld from the White
House today when Senator Thomas
CD of Oklahoma, filed mo.
ton for reconsideration Of the
vote by which it passed the SEN
ate.
The Thomas motion prevented
Senate attaches from sending the
bill to the House for Speaker
Byrns' signature before deliver.
ing it to the White House.
Senator Thomas, Senate author
of the Patman bill, made the mo-
ton to forestall a similar motion
by Senator Bennett Clark CD
of Missouri, an enemy Of the
measure. 1t was apparent Sena.
tor Thomas would ask the Senate
to defeat his own motion, thereby
releasing the bill for White House
approval or veto.
Starts Debate
A prompt decision was not
reached as the motion was de.
batable, and debate developed on
other issues.

Although he did not state posi-

bill, Mr.. Roosevelt made 1t plain
at his press conference today he
has little sympathy for the meas
ure, and indicated a veto message
would go forward before the TO-
day deadline.
House to Override
Irrespective of what the Sen.
ate may do, the House will en-
act the Patman bonus bill over
a presidential veto, Speaker Byrns
conceded today. The Speaker
said:
"The House will override a
veto by a comfortable margin"
A presidential veto, assailing its
inflationary features, was reported
waiting at the White House today
for the Patman bill providing inn
