transfer OF the money from this
Intermediary to the bookmaker to
establish the status OF bet.
A similar view is held by Superin-
tendent of Police Ernest w. Brown.
While uncertain whether the new
turn of affairs will Tighten or compli-
cate" the task that authorities have
undertaken in seeking to root out
gambling here, Garnett views it as
depositing a problem on the Capital
doorstep that must be given con-
sideration.
He pointed out for example that
the Chesapeake e. Potomac Telephone
Co. is cooperating in the present
drive on gamblers, but that 1t will not
be possible to deny wire facilities to
any establishments that are set up in
Prince Georges County because they
will be conducting legal business.
"Ofhand you might think that this
(legislation) would do away with our
troubles" said Maj. Brown, "but there
is no way of telling yet"
Large Operators Expected.
The police head said it was reason
able to expect that only large oper-
ators would locate in Prince Georges
County, because of the 100000 fee
that will be exacted, and perhaps, he
said, the little fellows" will keep try
ing to make a go of 1t here and take
their chances on police interference.
Meanwhile reports are current that
an expansion Of betting operations is
in prospect in Prince Georges. 1t Is
taken for granted that the La Fon-
taine establishment will continue to
do business at the old stand and ar
rangements for one, and perhaps two,
additional places also are said to be
under way. Undoubtedly the amount
of play-actual and expected-Will be
the determining factor, although the
present county commissioners oppose
anything smacking of chain store"
set-up, and the bill was framed with
the intent to keep the books in the
hands of Marylanders.

CH[0ROFORMCASE
PLEA|SSET TODAY
Most of Charlottesville Dis.
appointed at "Compro-
mise" Avoiding Trial.
BY w. HI. SHIPPEN, JR.,
Stan Correspondent OF The Star.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, April I
Delay only served to quicken in
terest here today in the guilty plea
expected in a few hours from DR.
Richard G. Miller, SO, alleged chloro-
form killer Of 18-year-old Cleo
Sprouse.
The dentist was to have pleaded
guilty Monday to q second-degree
murder charge In the death Of the
pretty high school Junior, who wa.
one Of his patients. The arraign-
ment was postponed until this morn
ing, however, and late yesterday II
was put of again-this time until
pm. today.
Shortly before DR.. Miller was to bt
arraigned the presiding Judge issued
strict orders governing the activitie.
of photographers and reporters. Judge
Smith took the precaution. he ex.
planned, to prevent interference with
the administration of justice and the
exploitation Of most serious occasion
for sensational entertainment.
Meanwhile Charlottesville debated
the most sensational Staying in the
several generations since a mayor OF
the town bludgeoned his wife to
death and was later hanged in the
court house yard.
Citizens Are Disappointed.
The university city Is taking the
expected "compromise" settlement
with some relief, but chagrin is the
dominant emotion. The conservative
element had been alarmed over the
prospect OF a sensational trial, with
the threat OF undue publicity"
And the conservatives, although un-
doubtedly in the minority, seem to
have prevailed. The man In the
street Is complaining bitterly. Even
the local daily attacked the compro-
mise editorially.
The Daily Progress yesterday point
ed out that the commonwealth has
charged DR.. Miller with first degree
murder. Either DR.. Miller Is guilty
of the charge or he isn't" the edi-
torial said. Prevailing opinion Is
that jury representative OF the peo-
pie should determine his innocence or
his degree OF guilt"
There was strong possibility that
Judge Lemuel F. Smith Of the Abe
marie Circuit Court would ask for
some testimony this afternoon before
passing sentence. Second-degree mur-
der is punishable by from S to 20
years imprisonment under Virginia
law.
DR.. Miller. police say, has signed a
statement saying Cleo died under an
anesthetic he administered in prepa-
ration for an illegal operation The
girls body was discovered by students
on the following morning, March 2,
near the University Of Virginia Gene
tery.
DR.. Miller, well-to-do member OF
his profession. with a wife and two
children living here, was returned to
the local jail Sunday night after a
months stay in the Henrico County
Jail at Richmond.
Four prominent Virginia attorneys
make up DR.. Miller's defense counsel
The arraignment is expected to be
brief.

POSSE OF 250FF
T0F|ND AIR DEAD
None Thought to Have Sur
vived Crash in Arizona
"BadIandS."
By the Associated Press.

81 the Associated Press.
McNARY, Ariz., April IA posse
Of rs picked mountain climbers
plunged at daybreak today into the
Eastern Arizona "badlands" in search
of a wrecked airliner and its eight
occupants, virtually given up for dead.
Their goal was the rugged western
slope of 10,500-foot Baldy Peak, where
air searchers yesterday spotted the
tangled ruin of the once proud 81
passenger Douglas ship, which lost
Its way while being "ferried' from
Los Angeles to New York for sale
to Holland firm.
Seven Miles to Trudge.
Seven miles of painless wilds lies
between the searchers and the wreck
age, almost hidden in grove Of
quaking aspen on the mountainside.
Snow is from 4 to 6 feet deeI on level
stretches and fills box canyons to a
depth of up to 20 feet.
The snow baked first efforts of the
ground searchers late yesterday, fore
ing them to return here and to nearby
Holbrook for additional equipment.
They hoped a night of freezing cold
would harden the snow sufficiently to
enable them to travel over it.
Mai. A. D. Smith, who discovered
the wreckage, and other alrmen were
ready to take off from Albuquerque,
N, Mex, to aid the ground parties by
circling over the scene. 1t is lmpos-
sible to land an airplane near the
peak.
From nearly so volunteers officials
picked the most hardy and experienced
for today's gruelling trek.
Heading the party were Sherifts
John Num- of Springerville and Lafe
Hatch of Holbrook, Arizona State
Patrolman Jack Buzard and Maj
Victor Bertrandias, export manager
for Douglas Aaircraft Corp, builders
and owners of the fallen plane. Vet
eran hunting guides led the way.
All Thought Killed.
Those who saw the Wreckage from
the air yesterday were unanimous in
their certainty none of its occupants
could have survived the apparent
head-on plunge against the mountain
slope.
They couldn't live in that" de-
clared Maj. Smith, as he gazed at
the tangled and blackened wreckage.
II was looking for the outline of
an airplane," said Frank Filen, Asso-
ciated Press photographer aboard Maj.
Smiths ship" but it looked like any
thing but an airplane.
''It was black, with glistening places
here and there where the metal
showed through. 1t must have burned,
but we were not close enough to say
whether the black was ashes or OIL
Those on the plane were Pilot Glen
Moser, his father, E. R. Moser, Los
Angeles; Co-Pilot Joe Voolfolk, 80;
Hollywood; Merle Estey, 20, and his
wife, Mrs. Lucille Estey, Hollywood;
Bernard Troy, jr, 33, Santa Monica;
Roland Kent, Los Angeles, and Mrs.
B. B. Bruderlin, Ocean Park, Calf.
Although searchers felt certain the
wreckage was that Of the missing
plane, speculation was raised at Salt
Lake that it might be that of West
ern Air Express plane which disap-
peared last December is with seven
aboard.

done much to eradicate the rosy tintS
from the domestic picture in this
Chevy Chase home. OF late q subtle
hint of dissension had crept into their
most casual relationships, and Millie
was at loss to account for it.
She knew that she was an ideal
housewife. She hadn't changed much
in 10 years except to lose the look of
girlish freshness. And even that WAS
replaced by charming mature air.
And it couldn't be money pressure, for
Elmer had never been poor.
II she had bothered to talk it over
with Elmer he could have put his fin
ger on the trouble instantly. but, of
course, he wouldn't have. Elmer had
fallen in love with his young, wise
cracking secretary
The years had brought to Elmer the
knowledge that, though it was 10
years since he had promised to love,
honor and obey, the predatory In
sincts Of the male still cropped up now
and then, and in contrast to Millie
his placid, uninquisitive wife, Elena
was a rather breath-taking and daz-
cling creature.
Elena, he knew, was always right up
TO the minute on all the current events,
the latest shows, the new books. In
addition. 1t would have taken less
observant man than Elmer to dis
count the mellifluous charms which
Elena so unconcernedly Haunted to an
appreciative world.
CPRINGING from a necessarily en-
forced intimacy at the office, an
affair had suddenly enmeshed Elmer
snd his secretary in its throes And
while it brought to both of them mo-
ments of practically unalloyed bliss,
there were also other moments when
they reasoned like normal persons and
thought of the anomalous position in
which both he and she and Millie
were placed.
You know, Elena, this thing has
nearly got me on the ropes" he con-
tessed to her. Elena made few mean
tngless marks in her notebook before
she looked up.
I'VE may as well face the facts, El-
mer!" she observed. II love you, and
YOU love me. Millie loves you, too,
but you say that as far as you care
she might not exist. So what's the
logical answer to that? YOU have
to get divorce!' Elmer looked
haraSsed.
It's not as simple as all that" he
pointed out. Il said didn't love Mil
lie, but not that I hated her. After
all, she's been a good wife to me and
/ can't hand her a shabby deal like
that!"
ELENA looked pensive. What il
- she asked you for divorce?"
I'D give it to her in minute" e.
mer cried. But, say, just what have
you cot on your mind? You must have
some reason for making crack like
that" Elena laughed and snapped
Ter fingers.
I've got just the thing! It's worth
q trial anyway" Elmer bent quiz
Eical brow at her. Il have a young

co llcdILlly.
Sounds silly, but we'll, we'll
see! You send that handsome young
cousin around in the morning and
We'll talk it over!" Elena jumped up
and tenderly kissed him. Elmer
thought that he'd try anything for
chance to marry the sweet kid!
Jimmy proved to be much better
than Elmer had expected. He fitted
all the requirements exactly He was
tall, good-looking, well-dressed. And
when he talked Elmer saw that he
was no dummy. Hope welled in FL
mer's breast that maybe it wasn't a
silly scheme at all.
I'm going to send you out to the
house two or three times with a mes
sage for my wife" he instructed.
After that you're on your own =.
and good luck! You'll find a drawing
account at the cashiers desk to cover
1ncidentak, and don't spare the
horses"
JIMMY didn't need the parting in
junction. His first trip to the
Brown menage convinced him that his
new job was going to be pleasure
Millie, he discovered, looked about his
own age, and while not exactly a raw
ing beauty, she had her ints. He
even went so far as to wonder II Elmer
wasn't just little bit touched in the
head for wanting this pretty incum-
brance eliminated from the scene.
In three visits Jimmy had the situa-
alton well in hand, even to the extent
OF taking her out to new show on
Elmer's club night. There followed
other engagements, as Elmer began
to find it necessary to attend lengthy
business meetings in the evenings
Millie began patronizing beauty shops,
bought new clothes and seemed to drop
five years from her actual age. Elmer
was delighted.
1t wasn't two months until the blow
OF came, only 1t wasn't entirely as
Elmer had expected On one of his
off nights he and Elena had gone STEP
ping and later went to her apartment
for midnight snack and final drink.
Elmer was affectionately kissing her
good night whom Millie and Jimmy
burst into the room, closely followed
by three policemen. Elmer glared at
the double -crosser. Jimmy had known
his plans.
THE trial, of course, was a honey.
Millie had Elmer with the goods,
and in addition her lawyers called
Jimmy as witness, who told about the
underhanded deal he had been hired
to carry out. The Judge gave Millie
a divorce -. and $4,000 as settle
ment to assuage her bleeding heart
Elmer fumed and swore vengeance
upon Jimmy, but there was little he
could do about it. It was pay up or go
to Jail! He paid.
The day after the trial he was sitting
glunly at his desk when a telegram ar
rived. He opened it and nearly had
apoplexy. 1t said:
Thanks for so G's stop married
Jimmy this morning stop love and
kisses stop. Mile"
