2. Jordon says he wrote to Garnet
because he felt that it would be un-
fair to marry the Bierholm girl with
out first making certain that their
home would not be broken up at some
later date by another arrest.
3. The Bierholm girl testified she
had asked Jordon not to involve her
in the case, and he had promised not
to do 50.
1. Three policemen-T F. Heide,
F. j. Hack and M. J. MAhAney, the
latter a detective sergeant-told the
Department Of Justice during the cur
rent inquiry, according to papers
filed by Holzworth recently in the

Mrs. Jaynes told her Immediately after

about 6 feet tall and had gray eyes
and light hair Mrs. Jaynes backed
the description, Mrs. Bell said, by
explaining that the man who did the
shooting had lunched in the T Shoppe
on the afternoon OF the hold-up.
S. George L. Goodacre, Jordon's en-
ployer at the time Of the robbery,
told me:
Tommy couldn't possibly have Wis
tied the T Shoppe on the afternoon
of the hold-up. He was on duty
then-working from 7 am. to pm.
He was always = good boy. anyway,

me that he would not have voted
for a first-degree verdict had he
understood Justice Let's charge to

Holzworth in reporting the finding Of
the incidental to the White House.
Points Against Jordon.
Against Jordon are these points:
l. In 1881, several months after the
killing he and the Dodsworth woman
admitted having talked of holding up
the T Shoppe.
2. After the conspiracy to rob
charges against Jordon and the
waitress had been dropped, he went
to Mount Vernon. -Four years later
on May 5, l935-Jordon addressed
the following letter to United States
Attorney Leslie c. Garnett from the
New York town:
Dear sir: About the fifteenth day
Of August, 1881, I was arrested as
q suspect in the Garden T-Shoppe
murder case The grand jury did
not indict me, and l was free.
Since that time, I have tried to
stay out of trouble and have sue
ceeded. Now to the point of this:
I am thinking OF getting married
and OF course I have told the girl
the truth. The only cloud on my
name is my past connection with
that case. I would like to know if
there is any possibility of my going
through another investigation? am
confident that it would not hurt
me, but i fairness to the girl, I
would like to know definitely whether
or not I am through completely with
that case
Trusting that you will give me
this information as soon as con-
venient, I remain,
THOMAS JORDON."
Garnett turned the letter over to
Maj Ernest w. Brown. superintendent
Of police, who sent Detective Sergt
Robert j. Barrett to Mount Vernon.
Assistant United States Attorney
Roger Robb-who subsequently prose-
cuted the case-accompanied him.
Jordon not only confessed, but waived
extradition.
3. Jean Bierholm. the girl whom
Jordon described as his sweetheart,
testified that he told her he was in
the T Shoppe, that there was some
trouble and some one shot"
4. Other witnesses told the jury that
two men participated in the robbery,
that the one who did the shooting
was a short man"
S. When Jordon first appealed for
executive clemency, he did not deny
he was involved in the hold-up, merely
asserting that the evidence could not
/ support a first degree conviction.
6. While the original police Incl
dental obviously did not correctly
describe Jordon, a police incidental is
often obtained from highly excited
witnesses and in itself is not consid-
cred of great importance
Points in Jordon's Favor.
In Jordon's favor are these facts:
l. Jordon claims the conversation
with the Dodsworth woman regarding
the possibility of holding up the I
Shoppe was not serious-not so fal
as he was concerned, at any rate.

Of being broke, that guessed I'd &C

DAYLIGHT SAVING
PROTESTS MOUNT
Committee Is Flooded by Pc.
titions as Time for Hear.
ing Nears.

An avalanche of protests against
the Sacks bill to put Washington on
daylight-saving schedule poured
into the House District Committee
yesterday, just 48 hours in advance
OF the initial public hearing on the
measure.
The hearing will be held in the
caucus room of the old House Office
Building tomorrow at 10 am. before
q special subcommittee Of the Dis
trlct Committee, headed by the bills
sponsor, Representative Sacks, Demo-
crat, OF Pennsylvania.
The sudden opposition to the bill
came as surprise to Sacks, whose
check-up several days ago, on his own
mail and the letters received by the
committee, showed a ratio of nearly
3 to in favor of daylight saving.
Sacks, however, said testimony at the
hearing probably would reflect more
accurate picture of public sentiment.
Protest From Veterans Groups.
OF the latest protests, the principal
one came from the Veterans Admin
1tration in, the form OF two petitions
signed by the employees One petition
contained 1875 names and the other
a8. A notation on the former said
many more names could be added
II time permitted.
Representative Randolph, Demo-
orat, of West Virginia, a member of
the District Committee, plans to lead
the congressional opposition to the
bill at the hearing. He said he would
60 before the subcommittee with at
least dozen reasons why daylight
saving should not be adopted in the
District.
When Sacks introduced the bill last
month he had no intention of having
1t made effective this year, but he
has learned since, he said, there is
a pronounced demand" for the ex-
ira hour OF daylight this Summer, and
for that reason he proposes to seek
House action at the first opportunity.
NIilkman Wants It.
"A modified cross-section Of men
and women would be particularly ef-
fected by the tine-saving proposal
strengthens the affirmative argu-
mentS.
"A milkman had this to say: THE
only sun see is the misty, gray kind
In the early morning. I sleep all day
and wake up when it's dark An
extra hour in the afternoon would
be swell"
From a woman who sympathized
with those who must tend the needs
Of infants came this comment:
