Jury INSTRUCTED
IN CRIMINAL LAW
Carusi Holds Classes to
Equip Panel to Function
More Inte||igentIy.

Members Of the new grand jury,
many Of them middle aged and gray
haired, figuratively have been put
back in school by their mentor. As
sistant United States Attorney Eugene
Carusi.
Convinced that the jury, which, of
course, is composed Of laymen, could
function more intelligently and ef-
f1ciently If its members had smatter-
ing of law and criminal procedure. Mr..
Carusi decided it was up to him to in
struct> them
Accordingly. he prepared a manual
outlining the various steps leading up
to the presentation of a case to the
grand jury and the essential elements
Of each of the more usual crimes.
Copies were distributed to the jurors,
who were told to be prepared to recite
on their lesson the next day.
Hears His Classes.
The next morning Prosecutor Carusi
became Professor" Carusi. who heard
the lessons" Of his class. The role
was familiar one to him since, in adj
dition to his duties at the Courthouse,
he Is dean of the National University
School of Economics and Government.
Mr.. Carusi explained he is deter
mined to keep the grand jury docket
current at all times so as to assist in
the current drive by Acting United
States Attorney David A. Pine for 4
speedier administration of justice.
In line with this policy. 1s indict-
ments were returned last Friday, only
two days after the new grand jury
was impaneled, and 20 more today.
Charged in True Bills.
Among those charged in today's
true bills were Benny Witherspoon,
John H. Bell and Charles H. Brown,

TRANSFER OF BEARD
TO LORT0N IS HIT
Reconsideration Sought by Grim.
inal Justice Group, Fearing
Gambling Contacts.

Reconsideration of the recent trans
fer Of Sam Beard, former Washington
gambling leader, from Atlanta Peni-
tentiary to Lorton Reformatory will
be sought by the Washington Criminal
Justice Association.
DR.. James A. Nolan, director Of the
association, said today he plans to
take up the matter with Ray L. HUFF,
superintendent of District penal insti-
tutions, as soon as possible because,
he explained. the members of his
organization feel that. in view of the
gambling situation here now, Beard
should be kept as far away from
Washington as possible"
I'VE believe Beard might be able
to re-establish his old contacts with
Washington's gambling fraternity de-
spite Lorton's strict rules governing
visitors" DR.. Nolan said.
He pointed out that former United
States Attorney Leslie c. Garnett had
requested that Beard be sent to At
lanta instead of Lorton. Boards
transfer last Saturday apparently was
made in a routine way by the classifi-
cation board at Atlanta, but DR.. Nolan
said he felt that Mr.. Huff would not
have approved it had he been familiar
with the local situation"

ASK DEATH
TOD. c. CRIMINALS
Nichols to Seek Statutes
Dealing With KIDNAPPING
and Robbery Here.

The death penalty would be exacted
as the maximum penalty for kidnap-
ing and robbery in the District under
bills .'hich Representative Nichols,
Democrat, Of Oklahoma plans to in
troduce today.
Aroused over serious crime Situa-
ton in Washington, Representative
Nichols, a member of the House Dis
trict Committee, declared:
If it's true that Washington is
crime infested. I intend to make it un-
healthy for criminals to operate here. :"
One of the bills would provide the
District with kidnap law patterned
after the so-called Lindbergh Federal
law. The other would amend the
District Code to increase the penalty
for robbery with firearms or other
dangerous weapons to a minimum of
20 years imprisonment and electro
cution as the maximum The maxi
mum penalty now is Is years i'm
