Boy, IA, Shoots Golden Eagle
In Maryland-and He's Lucky

Because the lawmakers Of Mary
hand don't feel A. strongly about
mans feathered friends In this In
stance eagles. as do those Of the
District, l4-year-old Harold Hodges
missed committing 9n illegal "assas-
sination" by some 20 yards last
Friday afternoon.
Shipping at sparrows that afternoon
with 20 caliber rife. Harold sur
prised himself and all the neighbors
by bagging golden eagle.
The shooting occurred in Prince
Georges County. Md. close by where
Naylor road crosses the District line
from Southeast Washington.
A thoughtful witness, remembering
that the District laws make it strictly
illegal to go around shooting eagles
or any other birds, raised the ques-
ton of whether Harold had shot him
self into an embarrassing situation.
Inquiry at the Office of the Biologi-
cal Survey, at which time the bird was
identified as a golden eagle, brought
the comforting information that
Maryland is one of only seven States
that doesn't protect its eagles by law
Intrigued now at what might have
happened if the shooting had been
done in Maryland but the bird had
fallen dead in the District, inquiry
was made at the twelfth precinct sta
ton and at the Office of Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Karl Kindelberger.
It was agreed at both sources that it
would be risky to stand in Maryland
and shoot q man in the District but
that they didn't feel quite so strongly
about an eagle.

than half 4 hundred detectives and
Federal agents drifted through the
underworld tonight seeking the slayers
Of Mrs. Esther Gordon, SO, whose body
was found stuffed in barrel on the
Queens bank of the East River yes
terday.
The search turned into more or less
definite channels when the victim,
who had been beaten, stabbed and
shot TO death, was identified as the
widow Of Max (One-Eyed Maxie) Cor
don. notorious narcotics peddler and
ex-convict, who was killed July 81 in
An automobile accident near Ell Paso,
Tex
The Department of Justice became
interested in the investigation, it be-
came known, on the theory that Mrs
Gordon may have been killed because
she knew too much about the mar
cotics racket.
Detectives declined to say whether
they had found anything to support
such 4 theory.
Hold Black Bag.
They announced late today they
were holding a black bag found in
Mrs, Gordon's hotel room, but refused
to diNulge its contents.
Mrs. Gordon, whose body was clad
In mourning for the husband she
buried here August 5, was identified
at the morgue by Benjamin Joseph,
who lived at the Hotel Edison, where
the widow registered last Tuesday
when she came to New York from her
home at Revere, Mass.

he had known Mrs. Gordon for sew
eral years, told detectives he last saw
her at the hotel Thursday evening
She said she had an engagement for
later that evening, but did not say
with whom.

homicide squad, directing the inves-
tlgation, said Mrs. Gordon's first hus-
band was Isadore Mussman. a Boston
