The Washington times., 1938-02-28


Senator from New Mexico, to be
the trial justice who will hear the
case in the event Of an indictment.
Thus two classmates who fought
out issues of law years ago in
George Washington University's
law school will face each other
IN the trial of Baron Won Blau-
one as sitting justice upon the
bench, the other, Ray Neudecker,
as the prosecutor, at the bar!
TESTIMONY TONIGHT
Oh, there will be an indictment,
all right!
Tonight at $50 Ruby Robert
and 1 will go before the grand
Jury over VOL to tell what we
know of the fictional murder OF
Ronald Brooks. It parallels in
astonishing detail the big spy
story that broke" in Saturdays
evening papers! They are plenty
busy, these international spies.
these days! !
And, just as the G-men trapped
those agents who we're selling the
secrets of our Notifications to
same unnamed foreign powers, so
we will prove to the satisfaction
Of, the special grand jury OF the
air that the Baron Won Blau
headed a similar organization IN
this country. =.
&Of course, we have hinted at
that for two weeks, but tonight
Mrs. Louis G. Caldwell will appear
10 tell exactly what she knows
Of the baron's activities, and so
w;ll Mrs. Mehitable Larkin, who
lived next door to Brooks.
BOTH STORIES IMPORTANT
= do not know that Mrs. cald'
well will have a great deal to say.
but I know it will be important.
But, If I know Mehitable Larkin.
she will talk plenty! ....
Ruby is still under the care OF
her doctor, recovering from the
fatigue and excitement OF the
last few days efforts. But If she
has rested, she will be there TO-
night. So will Miss Ruth Overton
and Mrs. j. Haden.
: Promptly at 9:30 the Special
Grand Jury, comprising Louis
Baer, Art Brown, Maurice Con-
slant, Richard Elliott, Forbes Fair
BARN, william S. Green, Charles
FIartel, Wesley Hales, Robert Kar-
mel, Mrs. Florence King, Mrs.
Constance Keith, Ben Logan, Mrs
Eva Lowen, Russell Mcguire, Sar-
kis Manoukian, Kay Nacken, Mrs.
esther C. O'Rourke, Frank Por-
tillo, DR.. I. Lewis Sander, Nor
velle w. Sharpe and Albert B.
Wolfe, will convene in the Special
Grand Jury room at VOL.
CHARGE BY WALSH
! A few minutes later United
States Senator David I. Walsh, Of
Massachusetts,, will deliver the
charge which will explain their
duties to the Grand Jurors.
Then Special Prosecutor Ray
nnond Neudecker will present the
witnesses, several Of whom are ex-
Oected to make damaging revela-
tions regarding the activities Of
the fictional Baron Won Blau!
Meanwhile that nobleman PAGES
his cell at the District Jail with
far less calm than he exhibited
during the first few days Of his
arrest. His failure to connect with
counsellor I understand the Sen
ator who was approached to de-
fend him has thrown him down
flat, after the breaking Of Satur-
days international spy story, say
ing he didn't believe anybody
could defend the Baron in the
teeth Of such adverse psychology
has worn him down.
He frownS now instead Of smiles,
and he smokes innumerable of
those long cigarettes which he has
for years had especially made for
him.

taches tell me. and the society
leaders who apparently were eager
TO aid him, have-particularly over
the week-end-not been so enthu
siastic.
DR.. Harry Douglas will again 70
cite for the jury his reasons fol
pronouncing the death homi
eide.
1t will be a bad night for the
Baron!
But the same group whom Ruby
Robert and I believe raised thC
money for his defense have finally
approached another of the Dis
trict's outstanding defenders -
man skilled in the technicalitiei
Of the law and whose dramatic
instincts, like those of the famou
Earl Rogers, of California, havu
won as many cases for him as hi
legal acumen. Will he agree II
take this case2 Nobody can say.
