PROBE TO BE SOUGHT

Justice Department May 1nvesti.
gate-Lack of Guards
Blamed.

A Justice Department investigation
of the fatal stabbing of colored
prisoner at Lorton Reformatory Sat-
urday will be sought by Capt. M. M.
Barnard. superintendent of District
penal institutions.
The victim, Peter Smith, would
have been released next month, after
completing a sentence. for house,
breaking. Capt. Barnard said Smith
was stabbed by Alphonse Branch. 20,
also colored, who is serving $50 days
for larceny. The fight started when
Smith stepped on the other mans
foot, Barnard declared.
In announcing his intention Of
seeking an investigation, he said:
"Tl1e murder was cold-blooded af-
fair, which the guards were unable
to prevent. If we had more guards
here, then 1t could have been pre-
vented. have asked for an increase
in the guards several times, but Con-
gress refuses to appropriate money for
them. There has been considerable
increase in prisoners, but none in the
guards, for several years"

MAY DATE
FROM JANUARY |
Conferees Also Expected to
Agree to Increase Limit
on Accumulation.

Senate and House conferees may be
able to compromise on an earlier date
to put the changes in Government
leave into effect, and on some increase
in the limit on accumulation of un-
used leave, but the amount of annual
leave is likely to remain at the 26 days
voted by the Senate.
Nothing definite will be known until
a meeting is held, but these were the
indications today as the Senate pre-
pared to agree to the conference asked
by the House. This step is expected
during this afternoon, at which time
Senators Bulow, Democrat. Of South
Dakota; McKellar. Democrat, of Ten
nessee, and White. Republican, of
Maine, will be named Senate conferees.
The House late yesterday named Rep
resentatives Ramspeck, Democrat. Of
Georgia; Sirovich. Democrat. of New
York, and Lehlbach, Republican, of
New Jersey.
A conference probably will be ar
ranged within few days. 1t is under
stood some of the Senate members
would not be averse to changing the
effective date from July to January
/ of this year, and that the limit on
cumulative unusued leave might be
fixed somewhere between the 120 days
in the House bill and the go days in
the Senate measure.
The Senate group. however, is ex-
pected to resist restoration Of the
House provision to allow additional
leave for overtime work. The Senate
Civil Service Committee favors a sep
arate study of how to compensate
employees for overtime, but takes the
view that granting additional leave
for overtime might result in Unequal
tiles in individual cases and might
encourage the bureau chiefs to require
unnecessary overtime.
At present annual leave is limited
to Is days. The bills reduce sick
leave from 80 to IS days. but con-
tain the cumulative feature on un-
used sick leave. and also give depart
ment heads discretionary power to
advance 80 days additional sick leave
for serious illness.

ITS EVIDENCE IN
RUM PLOT CASE
Agent Tells of Conversations
Showing Defendants Lis
tened to Police Radio.
MRS. MARIAN MAN0I
FILES DIVORCE SUIT
Nine Defense Attorneys Will
Complete Presentation
Next Friday.

The Government this morning con-
cluded presentation of evidence in its
prosecution of 81 alleged bootleggers
who have been on trial in District
Supreme Court since February IS,
charged with operating huge Illicit
liquor ring.
Only one new witness testified for
the Government today. He was Fran
els j. Sweeney. Alcohol Tax Unit in
vestigator. one of the three Federal
agents who listened over a tapped
telephone wire which connected with
the alleged headquarters of the ring.
He related conversations which
showed that members Of the or
ganization listened to police radio
calls and In one instance delayed a
delivery Of liquor because of a dis
turbance at the place to which 1t
was destined.
At the end of his testimony, Assist
ant United States Attorneys Henry A.
Schweinhaut and Howard Boyd an
nounced the close of the Governments
case.
While the trial was in progress this
morning, Mrs. Marian A. Manoi, iii
Fourth street southeast, wife of John
Manoi, one of the defendants. filed
suit for absolute divorce, stating to
the court that her husband had been
bootlegger for several years. She
charged infidelity and named a CO.
respondent. Through Attorney Ray
mond L. Neudecker she stated that
her husband is an Italian subject and
that she married him December 6.
1926. They have one child.
Although he dresses and has the
appearance of gentleman of leisure,
he is engaged in illegal liquor enter
prises, she said.
Prospects were that the nine de-
fense attorneys will complete presen-
tation of their evidence by Friday and
that the case will go to the jury not
later than the first part of next week
Two other agents who Supervised"
the tapped wire for almost two months
occupied the witness stand yester-
day. Their testimony brought vigor-
GUS objections from defense counsel,
who contended it was in violation of
the communications act of 1884. The
communications act, they contended,
makes it an offense to intercept inter-
state telephone calls.
Assistant United States Attorneys
Schweinhaut and Boyd argued that
the evidence was admissible and that
there were no court decisions bearing
on whether the law applied to Gov
ernment agents acting in the course
of their offlc.l duties.
Justice LettSA ruled that the con-
versations overheard might be related
to the jury, but cautioned the agents
that they could stnd on their con-
stitutional rights a. ID refuse to testify
if they thought tt.eir testimony would
incriminate then.
The agents testifying yesterday were
