Probe Tampering Charge
Meanwhile, Federal agents were
checking on charges of attempted
jury tampering, voiced by pros

opened Tuesday.
Immediately after completion
Of the tentative jury, a commo-
ton was caused when Alexander
Berger attorney for Murray Blee-
field, of Brooklyn, who also is on
trial suddenly arose and cried:
Gust a minute, Your Honor,
can't find my CLIENT"
Then Berger faced the specta-

"Is Murray Bleefeld here?"
There was no answer, but
George S. Silzer. counsel for the
Parkers, remarked in stage
whisper:
"He's probably in the district

United States District Attorney
John j. Quinn, in charge of the
prosecution, snapped back:

1t has been rumored frequently
that Bleefeld might be called as
a Government witness in the case.
The hubbub ceased when Blee-
field entered the courtroom, es-
corted by United States marshal
who said he found the missing
defendant sauntering about the
halls outside the courtroom.

29.-Trial of six former Prince
Georges county policemen, a JUS
tice of the peace, a bondsman and
a police clerk on charges of con-
Spiracy to obStruct justice will
likely be held early in June.
Judge Joseph c. Mattingly, one
Of the three Circuit Court juriStS
who yesterday concurred in a de-
Cision which voided pleas in
abatement previously argued by
attorneys for the defendants, said
the court in all probability would
summon members of the petit
jury at that time. The defendan IS
cannot be brought to trial at al
earlier date. it was pointed out,
since three of the attorneys con-
nected with the case are members
Of the State legislature, now in
special session.
The unanimous decision of the
three judges, rendered yesterday
by Chief Judge Walter j. Mitchell,
sustained demurrerS filed by
States Attorney Alan Bowie and
Special Prosecutor Ogle Marbury
following argument on the abate,
ment pleas by defense counsel on
April 10.
The please sought quashing OF
the indictments, returned by a
special session of the grand jury
last December, on the grounds that
the jurors had been supplied with
evidence illegally. In his decision,
Judge Mitchell cited numerous
similar decisions of the State Court
of Appeals as ground5 for uphold
the demurrers.

Dogs who won't be left behind are
problem. Whatever the odds, they
mustn't be permitted to race around
the streets, Letting a pup chase a
car, even with lesson attached, isn't
the solution. The scenery Is too un-
certain. Pups should know that when
his boss says No" she means It.
Theoretically speaking, training does
the trick.
Some dogs don't care much for book
larnin'." They'll make up their own
minds. The board of control may
mean one thing. Pups will mean
another. II the matter isn't pressed
he'll reserve the right to take the
situation into his own paws. When
things have reached that state the
car chaser must be held with force.
Solution No. l is to leave him In
the house with some one to stroke
his brow. Some dogs must have
company in their darker moments,
Otherwise they're liable to seek re-
venge by chewing up the radio.
II no human consolat ton Is to be
had, Pups had better be placed in
his own dog yard. Lacking such one
might tie him up, but not with 4 rope
or leather lead. A chain is less likely
to be eaten. OF course there's the
chance that he'll be frantic enough
TO hang himself All Of which brings
one back to the original point. Things
are 20 much simpler II Pups can be
trained not to chase the family bus

Awfully nice and romantic to rush out
with trowel and tell your hostess
that you'd like to do some wedding for
her. And 1t sounds just lovely to the
hostess.
Until . she comes by and fnds
that you have pulled up all her zin-
Mas, or all OF her carefully cherished
columbine. Sometimes she is sweet
and long suffering and doesn't tell
you what you've done. But we really
wouldn't blame her at all II she locked
you up In the cellar until 1t turned
dark.
If the city friend, who really doesn't
know weeds from asters, would Just
stick to lawn moving, things would be
much easier for every one. But II
she's not that kind We would suggest
to her hostess tactful sequence of
distraction. II the lawn mower
doesn't appeal. try her out with the
spraying apparatus, or get her started
building stone wall. One hostess

tors little plots Of their own in which
they may plant and pull up what they
like. This works splendidly, for the
visitors even get so excited about
their spot Of garden that they buy

But the casual guest who wants to
feel OF mother earth again is hard to
handle. Maybe . sand pit and a toy
shovel would b the safest thing for
her. JEAN

Isabelle, IL years old, is In tears.
Brother, is, Is red-faced and cross.

Now, Isabelle. You mustn't behave

Il don't want to 60. The boys
won't dance with me. They never

toes and bump me around just to get

And hate her, too. I hate the whole
business, and won't CO." And away
she runs.
Junior, talk to her. You surely
can find a nice boy to dance with
