accident several days ago, ap-
peared in court on clutches.
In making his plea. Mr.. Dawson
declared Sutton was not a member
Of the gang, and that his indict-
ment was a stigma on him" One
count of the indictment, charging
Sutton as an accessory to the
crime, was dismissed by the court,
and he will be tried for conspiracy
to commit murder only.
James H. Pugh, States attorney
for Montgomery county, who came
here to prosecute the case, eSti-
mated it will take at least three
and half days to present the
States case against McDermott.
Although the movements Of
Montgomery county authorities
and members of the special will
son squad" were yelled in secrecy,
it was learned that Sutton and
Dunn were moved from the Dis
trict Jail to Cumberland sur
rounded by Gordon Of Montgom-
cry county police and special depu-
ties.
Two Main Witnesses
william Cleary and Dewey Jen-
kins, codefendants in the murder
indictment, were brought here last
Friday. Both are reputed to have
turned States evidence and con-
Stitute the chief witnesses Of the
prosecution
Sutton, Dunn, Cleary and Err.
est Myers were indicted by a
Montgomery county grand jury
for the mistaken identity" STAY
ing of Wilson in front of the home
Of Edward Mickey" Mcdonald
in Takoma Park, Md, as he halted
his automobile to place a paper in
o box. -, ....
Cleary, identified by police as a
Baltimore and Philadelphia gam
bier and racketeer, turned States
evidence on a promise of immunity
and, during the trial, Myers testi-
fled they were lying in wait for
Mcdonald at the time Wilson was
murdered.
jenkins Not Called
jenkins, indicted for conspiring
to murder Mcdonald and for car
rying concealed weapons, is also
reputed to have turned States evil
dence, but was not used during
Myers trial.
Myers was found guilty and was
sentenced to life imprisonment in
the Maryland penitentiary during
q trial in Montgomery County Cir
cult Court at Rockville early last
month.
Petitions for a change Of venue
filed by Thomas L. Dawson, secre-
tary Of state Of Maryland, and
Dorsey K. Offutt, counsel for SUIT
ton and Dunn, respectively, were
granted by Montgomery county
court officials and the trial was
ordered removed to this judicial

HERR|0T FIGHTS
RED CONTROL
IN FRANCE
Leftists Win in Vote
But Lack Power
In Parliament
BY MICHAEL WILSON

PARIS, May 4 U.N.SO Elk
IRENE leftists Of the popular
front" scored overwhelmingly in
the French parliamentary cleo
tions, returns showed today, but
weakness Of the light pinks" ap-
peared likely to rob the winners
Of the trusts Of their victory.
Political experts, analyzing the
returns, predicted that despite its
absolute majority in the new
chamber of deputies, the popular
front" paradoxically will not be
sufficiently srtong to take over the
government.
Communist and Socialist fac
tions Of the victorious popular
front" today laid diverging plans
as to the course they will pursue
in the Chamber Of Deputies.
Leon Blum, Socialist leader, de.
clared:
1--WE insist that we are ready
to fulfill the role which belongs
to us of constituting and direct
ing the popular front govern
ment."
Maurice Thorez, secretary-gen-
eral Of the Communists, said:
1--WE can finally succeed I'm
making the rich pay by . levy
on big fortunes"
Although the Socialists are now
the strongest party in parliament
with 146 seats, and the Commu-
niStS captured u seats to aid in
giving the popular front a numeri-
Cal superiority Of BIT Of the cham
Der Of deputy's 618 places, it was
understood that 10 or so Radical
Socialists led by former Premier
Edouard Herriot will thwart the
extreme socializing ideas Of the
majority.
Herriot, it was stated, will re-
fuse to support anything with a
Communist hue, and he will pref
erentially vote with the center
coalition, which will be supported
by the rightiSt minority.
Although four cabinet ministers
and one under Secretary Of State
were not reelected in the run-off
balloting, it is expected Premier
Albert Sarraut will maintain the
intention he avowed Saturday or
reshuffling the cabinet posts, re-
fusing to resign, and going before
the chamber June to ask for
support.
Financial Crisis
He will declare. it is ANTICIPATED,
that only a moderate government
can maintain internal order IN
France and prevent war in Europe.
His strongest argument will be
figures showing the flight of CAPT.
tai from France, which is. believed
to have amounted to more than
1000 million francs in gold last
week.
Draconian economic and finan-
cial laws and also a possible
change in the governorship of the
Bank Of France are expected
shortly because the treasury
Golfers are almost empty and
taxes are not being collected in
the amount expected.
The newspaper Intransigeant
expressed typical moderate and
rightiSt opinion on the situation
when 1t stated in an editorial:
BE calm. We are watched
Indignantly from the exterior.
Civil war would only lead to
foreign war"

to the injury Of his counsel in an
automobile accident near Rock
vile April 20, were overruled by
judges Of this circuit. The prosecu-
ton was ordered to proceed with
the trial when court conveneS here
today.
States Attorney James H. Pugh,
Of Montgomery county, said he
would contest any attempt to OBJ
tain a severance of trial of Sutton
and Dunn, as he wished to dispose
of both cases at the same time.

upon his power. Property acquired
from an executor by third parties
with knowledge of his trust and
his disregard Of its obligations
can be followed and recovered.
To those Of us who still enjoy
the stately reasoning of ca. ].
Field, Smith v. Aver is delightful
reading. His analysis Of why the
Bank Of Dillon was charged with
notice of everything that Gilbert
as executor was doing with the
assets because he was also an
officer of the bank while acting
for it in transactions with the es-
tate, is unanswerable. The opin-
ion is also Of use in constituting
Montgomery's will. In the case
under consideration by the Su-
preIne Court, the testator had left
certain funds to be used in a GER
tain business. The application of
other funds Of the testator for use
in that business was held to be
a devaStavit. This, Of course, was
a slight deviation compared TO- the
complete obliteration here.
Should we tire the court by cit
ing authority to refute the idea
expressed in the opinion that the
infant who never got anything
from the estate should, after COM
ing of age, in this case, repay be-
fore being given his inheritance ?
Ransom is paid to thieves under
