Riley's behalf, Defense Attorney
Verne c. Anderson announced. The
four-Joseph Reardon, Roy Cor
nelius, Harry HalliSey and Jerry
Mullahe-were convicted in the alb
duction.
Anderson also said he would ask
the State to assume expense OF
bringing "alibi' witnesses here
from Washington to testify Riley
was in that city at the time of the
kidnapping. Mattler was abducted
September 9, 1928, and released
eight days later after a ransom Of
$4,000 had been paid.

Gently from Jackson prison, will be

riding habit gang" who staged a
number Of holdupS in Washington
and vicinity, recently, will be re.
turned to the Capital today.
The youths, John Joseph Kurz,
10, and Paul Berger, 18, waived
extradition and agreed to return
with two Washington detectives
who are en- route here. A third
man escaped.
The youths were captured Fri.
day night by Chief of Police F.
D. Marshall, who was walking
down the street when he saw a
fight and ran to break it up.
Two Flee in Auto
AS he approached Kurz and
Berger ran, jumped into a car
and drove away, while q third
man fled in the opposite direction.
Chief Marshall jumped into an
other car and started in pursuit,
firing at the fleeing car. One Of
his bullets struck a rear tire and
the car crashed into a ditch.
AS the chief ran up Berger at
tempted to draw an automatic
pistol, but the officer covered him
with his own weapon and Berger
threw up his hands.
The car in which they attempted
to flee was stolen during the hold
up of two couples on the Mount
Vernon Boulevard last week, Chief
Marshall said. The Virginia tags
had been replaced by New Jersey
plates, stolen when the gang fled
north after staging robberies here.
Detective SergeantS Elmer Lewis

Bowie Ends; Numbers
Boys on Vacation

1t should be strictly understood
that there is nothing official about
this story. But if you play the
numbers, and the numbers man
doesn't come around today, don't
be surprised. Hes having a holi-
day.
At least that's the word which
came up through the grapevine
today. The explanation-unoffic-
tally, you understands this:
Bowie's racing season is over.
That makes it necessary to get
the numbers from some other
track. The boys don't like New
Orleans, and they don't like
Charles Town. You can do your
The Washington times., 1936-11-30

own guessing as to the reasons,
but some folks do say that the
N'Orleans races aren't exactly on
the up-and-up. Of course, there
was some "sponging" at Bowie
this year, but that's different, it
appears, from the viewpoint of
the numbers operators.
Latest adviceS are that the re-
suits at the Bay Meadows track
in California will be used here
after and until further notice as
the basis for the Washington pay
off. They won't be in until about
5 in the afternoon, or later.
So today while the boys get
squared around, the numbers col.
lectorS had a day of rest.
