Immediately after stopping their
cars they stepped to the ground
and started for the house. One Of
the detectives jumped up and
ordered them to raise their hands.
Instead, Captain Keck explained,
they opened fire. Asked why more

Police Seek Bandits
Who Fled Ambush
One Shot to DeGth'
In Trap; 2 Others
Mav Be Wounded

Surprised by a police ambush
last night as they attempted to
rob a wealthy Washingtonian at
Thirty.eighth Street and Suitland
Road Southeast, one of four ban.
dts was shot to death: Two OF
the remaining three woh escaped
are believed to be wounded.
Riddled with gunShot was Carle'
ton G. "Cotty" Williams, 30, an
alleged oay roll bandit, of the TOO
block of Fourth st. N. W., who
fell fatally wounded with five
slugs in his body after his gang
had refused to surrender to six
detectives armed with Submachine
guns, shot guns and rifles.
The three bandits who escaped
amid a hail of lead made their
getaway in two waiting auto
mobiles, returning the gunfire as
they sped away. One of the auto
mobiles was later found aban-
doned near the scene, its frame
riddled with shot.
Police said today they expect to
arrest at least one OF the three
yeggmen who escaped. Identity Of
the other two also is said to be
known.
RESULT OF TIP
Immediately following the bat
tie, a general radio lookout was
sent to police in nearby cities, ask
ing them to be on the watch for
any one applying for treatment
of gunShot wounds.
The police trap was the result
of a tip received by police two
days ago. according to Capt. Ira
Keck, advising the yeggmen
planned to rob the safe of Charles
Nelson, which was said to contain
about $4,000. The Nelson home
is located in the $500 block of
Suitland Rd. S. E. The trap was
sprung last night at 8 o'clock.
The car which was later found
abandoned bore Maryland tags.
Captain Keck revealed.
One of the facts leading up to
the robbery tip, police revealed, was
the reported theft of an acetylene
torch and tank of oxygen, stolen
from a local welding company a
few days ago. The bandits am
bushed last night are believed to
have been the culprits who stole
this equipment.
Following the gun battle last
night, Williams was taken to Gal
linger Hospital where he died
shortly. According to Captain
Keck. Williams was at liberty un-
der heavy bond" since January
!. One Of these charges, it was
intimated by police, was the 1900

action of the Atlanta author. She
CROPPED for words. Then
I'm overwhelmed"
The award for the novel, OF Civil
War days in Georgia, carried with it
$1,000 in cash-a pittance compared
to what she has earned from the
1,350,000 copies of the book already

Mitchell joins distinguished group

Take 1t With YOU" by Moss Hart and

marked fashion the educational value
and power of the stage ."
Burns Mantle, drama critic of the
New York Daily News, who last year
criticized the Pulitzer drama award to
Robert Sherwoods Idiots Delight"
said he thought the play chosen for
first prize should have more dis
tinction in writing, be little more of
serious consequence and significance in
the theater"
