She Charges Oscar E. Allen
Shot

Mrs. Grace Riley, ATT F. street south
west, filed suit for $4,000 in District
Court late yesterday against Police
man Oscar E. Allen, who alleeedly
shot her dog, "Tippy."
She charged that the officer killed
Tippy "wantonly and without cause" +"
In poor health and often confined to
her home, Mrs. Riley valued the dogs
companionship highly, she said.
Tippy was brown and white water
spaniel. Mrs. Riley took him home
four years ago, when he was three
weeks old. He became a friend of all
the neighborhood children and parttc-
ularly Of Betty Riley, 1s, daughter Of
his mistress, according to Mrs. Riley.
On the afternoon Of Sunday. Au-
gust 2, friend Of Betty parked his
car in the alley between the Riley
home and the fourth precinct police
station. He honked his horn and
Betty and Tippy ran out to investi-
gate. The dog barked and Allen,
across the alley, leveled his revolver
and fired, Mrs. Riley related in Police
Court. Tippy was killed instantly.
Mrs. Riley said the officer stated he
thought the dog had rabies.
-Four days later Mrs. Riley was
brought into Police Court on a charge
Of allowing her dog to 60 unmuzzled.
Judge r. E. Mattingly dismissed the
case and advised her to sue. The suit
was brought through Attorney Lowell
J. Bradford.

Hartman, Dorritt Green and Paul
Little-took Frooks into custody as he
waited in q Pennsylvania avenue

bank
Robb said the scheme was concocted
several weeks ago when Mrs. Krieger
went to the Alexandria bank and leased

matter and set last night as the meet
ing time.
Pierce, Robb said, informed the dis
trict attorneys office of the plot, and
detectives were assigned to the case.
Frooks told Robb he had been
promised q fee of $500 to represent
Mrs. Krieger.
Robb said there have been previous
complaints against Mrs. Krieger for
allegedly making false claims for
damages.

Philip Everhardt Armstrong, who
denied telling a fellow employe, IF

cross oss-examination near the end of a
hearing before the National Labor
Relations Board.
Discharge of Armstrong, drama
critic. and a fellow employe was fol-
lowed August l3 by a strike and the

Edward g. Woods, heading counsel

She said, "Yes, still read them,

Did you say. If you walk through

SHIRLEY TEMPLE
PLOT UNCOVERED
Atlanta Youth, is, Taken
Into Custody-Letter
Demanded $25, 900.

A 16-year -old Georgia boy, who ap-
parently was inspired by newspaper
accounts OF an extortion plot on
Shirley Temple. was released on his
recognizance by G-men in Atlanta to-
day, following his alleged confession
that he wrote a $4,000 demand to
Mrs. Shirley Temple"
The latter. received and opened
by an employe handling the child
screen stars "fan mail" was mailed in
Atlanta on August /, the day that
newspapers told Of the arrest by
G-men at Grant, Nebr., of q 16-year-
old farm boy for q similar offense.
At the Federal Bureau Of Investi-
CATION it was said the Atlanta boy,
Frank Edward Stephens. will be cited
to the United States attorney for
determination as to whether prose-
cution will be undertaken" Stephens,
it was stated. told Investigators he
had served five years in a reform
school for truancy and that later
he was arrested on a burglary charge,
but released by the juvenile court.
The Atlanta letter. like that OF the
Nebraska boy. demanded $4,000 as
. guarantee against threatened harm
to Shirley.
Get the money II you want to keep
Shirley" the letter said. The money,
it was stated. should be mailed to
"Mr. Curtis Palmer, 142 Whitehall
street southwest. Atlanta. Ga"
Agents of the F. B. I. conducted an
investigation at the Atlanta address,
which was that OF a grocery store
where Stephens has been working on
Saturdays. Curtis Palmer" was un-
known at the store. Stephens was
questioned in the course of the in
quiry and yesterday the F. B. I. an
nounced he confessed sending the
letter.
The Nebraska boy, Sterling w.
Powell, mailed his threatening de-
mand to Shirley on May o, last. The
paper was traced to a store In Grant,
Nebr., where Powell was arrested
August /. He. too, made an alleged
confession.
