TRIAL
SET FOR MARCH
HagerstoWn Date Arranged
After Change of Venue
Is Granted.
BY the Associated Press.

HAGERSTOWN, Md, January u.s.
Mrs. Anne Lyddane, whose trial for
alleged conspiracy to murder her hus.
band was transferred here from Mont
gomery County, was scheduled today
to 60 on before a jury for the second
time early in March.
The docketing of the trial in WASH
ington County Circuit Court for the
first or second week Of March was ar
ranged at conference between Judge
Frank G. Wagaman and States At
torney Martin L. Ingram, the county
prosecutor.
The change of venue to the fourth
| judicial circuit was granted the de-
tense yesterday by the three judges
Of the sixth judicial circuit at Rock
vile. states Attorney James H. Pugh,
who will head the prosecution, asked
the case be transferred to Baltimore.
Further postponement of the trial
appeared likely as the chief Of the de-
tense counsel. Stedman Prescott. is 4
State Senator from Montg omery
County and may desire to attend TIE
special session of the General Assem-
bly, in Maj oh.
Mrs. Lyddane was tried las. June
of the charge of conspiring to murder
her husband, Francis S. Lyddane, but
there was a jury disagreement. In
asking for a change of venue, the de-
tense presented aff1davits, alleging a
fair and impartial trial could not be
received in Rockville.
States Attorney Ingram said today
that it would not be possible to reach
the Lyddane case before the first of
March. The next term OF Circuit
Court starts February 10 and the
criminal docket is scheduled to be
taken up February TO- He believed
a week will be required for the trial.

cedure and based upon an alleged
violation Of law or statute.
Followed strictly. the Juvenile Court
law does not give the court the
privilege of basing its decision upon
character circumstances leading up
to the alleged offense, rather it places
emphasis only on, the question Of
whether an offense was committed.
System Upheld by Many.
For such q system Of dealing with
juveniles there are many defenders.
Many members Of the legal fraternity,
for instance, upheld it as an approved
vehicle Of law enforcement, for pro-
lection Of society and for protection
of the individual defendants rights.
The special needs Of children, they
maintain, are met in the broader
application Of the probation prin-
ciple, in the use Of special institu-
lions for commital and in the prac-
tice Of excluding the public from trials.
Proponents of the pending legisla-
ton, however, favor making the court
. social agency, empowered to become
= foster parent" to any child whose
family circumstances are considered
unsuited for development Of a useful
citizen. They would give it jurisdic-
ton ia beyond that Of the present
law and would make it powerful
agency of reform.
Such q court, as outlined by the
bill, would have no trials, no juries, no
attorneys, no convictions-instead it
would have informal hearings and
conferences between the children and
adults involved and the investigating
officers who are serving the court.
Primarily it would not be concerned
over how to punish a child who stole
some groceries-rather it would be
concerned with why the deed occurred.
II such motivation should be found
in some home circumstance Of the
subject. the court would be empowered
to direct the parents to change their
method Of bringing up the child. And
II parents are not believed capable OF
able to NIL their normal function, the
court would be empowered to make
other disposition. Confinement in an
institution supposedly would be d.
rected only in extreme cases.
Application Of the act and juris-
diction of the court would be ex-
tremely wide by terms Of the pending
bill.
Twelve Applications.
For instance, section provides thai
the act should apply to any of the fol.
lowing under 10 years Of age:

Naturally, they were all up In arms
against Senator Duffy for putting such
a bill in the congressional hopper. a

AOt 30 consecutive years, ulculUcIS
= of the United States Senate and
the House have listened to the reading
of Washington's farewell address on
the birth anniversary of Americas
first President. Though some of the
Senators and Representatives profess
to know this masterpiece by heart they
have always enjoyed hearing others
read it.
In all that time. since 1900. no voice
was raised against the reading of this
famous document until the present
session. Now, in the House, Represen-
tative Joseph P. Monaghan, Demo-
crat, of Montana, who was not born
when the custom of reading the ad-
dress began-he is. only 29-rises to
throw a monkey wrench in the ma
chinery. It takes unanimous consent
to have the address read. Because the
House wouldn't let him speak not long
ago, the man from Montana says he'll
see about this farewell address stuff.
At the same time, that fire -eating,
poetical, philosophizing Mississippiaus
John E. Rankin, declares he'll find a
way to silence the Monaghanian threat
and drink once more from the eternal
springs of Washington's wisdom. In
| the meantime, Vice President Garner
with his House days behind him
hands the task Of reading Washing

L. Bachman of Tennessee, who came

WHEN the new King Edward VIII
w of England, then Edward Albert.
Prince of Wales, visited Washington
some Is years ago, he made hit i'm
mediately with every one. Now. down
on Capitol Hill. those who had the
privilege and pleasure Of helping to
entertain the former Prince of Wales
are recounting some of the amusing
incidents Of his visit. He proved, first
of all, to be a Democrat Of the first
water-and showed that he had a
keen sense Of humor.
On the ride down Pennsylvania ave-
nue. from the White House his royal
highness was shown the Capitol. One
of the party, pointing out the build
ing. said. "On your right is the House
Of Representatives and on your left,
your excellency. is the Senate" The
Prince looked and asked: where is
Congress?" A Senator laughed and
said, "Oh, Congress is adjourned"
About that time they arrived in the
Capitol grounds. You know" the
Prince said, 1--WE often wondered
what would happen to America If it
had House of Lords"
Some of the good Samaritans. for
prohibition was in force then, figured
that the Prince, being from a wet
country, would like an appetizer be-
fore luncheon. So law maker rustlec
up dry Martini. AS the Prince
slipped his drink. he asked, with a
twinkle in his eye: When will pro-
hibition start in your country?"
And from these and various other
little incidents, being recalled now by
those who had part in the of1icial
| welcoming, the legends of the King Of
| England are growing on Capitol Hill
| where all hands seem to have affec-
tionate spots in their hearts for the
new monarch.
