Pound guilty of the poison high
ball murder of his wife, Corydon
A. Black, 35, today faced a 20-year

ment was set by a grand jury

of deliberation.
Mrs. Cordelia Black was found
dead in her apartment october 8,
1896, while her husband was found

Won BLAU FATE
IN BALANCE AS
VERD|CTS POUR
Case Is Taken Seriously
By Radio Jurors

The "fate" Of the Baron von
&lau is in the balance. And no
Grand Jury ever took it's sworn
duty more earnestly than the
thousands of radio jurors who
have heard the proceedings of the
6ctional case of Baron Won Blau
nightly over Station VOL since
February %, and who have fol-
lowed the stories of Carroll Peeke
and Ruby Robert daily in The
Washington Times.
Hundreds of letters are being
received at Station VOL and The
Washington Times, and indica-
tions are that until midnight of
March 20, when the contest closes,
verdicts in this controversial fic-
tional murder case will continue to
flood the mails.
Senator William Gibbs McAdoo,
Of California; Dean Henry Graf
tan Doyle, of George Washington
University, and Mrs. Elizabeth K.
Peoples, director of the District
Of Columbia Community Centers,
comprise the committee of award,
who will read the verdictS, and
select the prize winners in this
unique contest.
PRIZES FOR WINNERS
, Winners of the first prizes
one each for the best verdict of
guilty and of not guilty-will re-
ceive a round trip, 25-day cruise
to the British West Indies, the
Bahamas, Jamaica, and Bermuda,

the Canadian Steamship Lines.
They have a choice of sailing

Winners of the second prizes
one each for the best verdict Of
guilty and of not guilty-will re-
ceive round trip to New York
on one of Eastern Airlines' luxuri-
Gus planes, also on date of their
own choosing.
Laymen and professionals alike,
their imaginations fired by this
gripping radio drama, are writing
verdicts for the conviction or &C
uuittal of the defendant. The
Baron Won Blau stands as a very
real man, wrongfully accused, or
Justly to be punished, in the minds
. Of thousands of men and women
who have followed the case with
rapt attention, and anyone OF
whom may win a splendid award.
For remember, your verdict,
which must be given in less than
600 words, will be judged solely
on your decision, as radio jurors,
as to the guilt or innocence OF
the Baron Won Blau, upon the
evidence presented for the "gov-
ernment" by Special Prosecutor
Raymond Neudecker, and counsel
for the defense John j. Silica, for
mer Assistant United States At
torney.
THERE'S NO "CATCH"
There is no mystery. There is
no Catch" You are simply to-
give in your own words your YER
dict Of guilty or not guilty, bear
ing in mind the charges made to
you as radio special grand jurors
by Senator David I. Walsh, OF
Massachusetts, and as the radio
petit jury by Senator Robert F.
Wagner of New York; and the

tor Dennis Chavez, Of New Mex
tco.
