Oy Emil BOgen, M. L., And Len
mann w. S. Hisey This book is
written SO that anybody can un-
derstand it, and it has many
drawings to make it plain. Here
are some of the things it says:
People shouldn't drink alcohol
because the body uses up a lot
of energy trying to burn it up.
Sometimes the doctors give
person who has "a high tempera.
ture a sponge bath with alcohol.
But it isn't good for a person to
drink.
1t makes d person get tired
quickly because the body has to
work 80 hard to burn it up.
When person is drinking he
gets nervous. Even very little
bit makes a person slower and
can cause q terrible accident.
When | e,ple drink they think
they are nice and warm Wheu
they aren't. 1t makes the skin
hot when the inside of the body
is really cold. Drinkers often
take off their hats and coats in
cold weather and die of pneu.

Mrs. Betty Bierer, 10, of Balti-
more, and Walter Stinnett, "a, of

Police said Mrs. Bierer accused
stinnett of killing CAN'T and de-.
Fclared the affair had been
planned. Mrs. Abel also accused
Stinnett of firing the shots.
Stinnett, however, according to
police, named Mrs. Bierer as the
killer, and declared the shooting
climaxed a drinking party.
FLED ACROSS RIVER
After killing CAN'T and robbing
him, the trio fled in his car, they
told police. They abandoned the
car on the Maryland shore of the
river, stole a rowboat, and crossed
the river to Fair View Beach.
There they went to a store and
attempted to cash a check they
had taken from CAN'T in an effort
to get funds to flee. The store
keeper became suspicious, refused
to cash the check and notified DO
lice.
The two girls and the man
spent the night on the beach, and
this morning were picked up by
State Policeman R. A. Simms and
taken to the Fredericksburg Jail,
where they admitted the killing.
CHECKS RECOVERED
Police said that when they
searched the trio they found a
number of checks stolen from
CAN'T. They had only few dol
lars in cash, however.
Stinnett formerly had been en-
ployed by CAN'T, he told police,
and the girls both said they were
acquainted with the man.
They went to his home Monday
afternoon, they told police, and a
drinking party followed. The
killing took place some time Mon
day night, and they fled. The
body of CAN'T was not found until
last night when James Fowler,
40, of Cove Point, Md, went to
Gantt's home to see him on a
business matter and found the
