guilty verdict against Scheid, in either
first or second degree murder, or vol
untary or involuntary rnanslaughter.
The commonwealth attorney said
the jury would be justified in finding
not guilty verdict only if they be-
lieved that Scheid "had reasonable
grounds to think his life was in dam
ger" before he shot. He declared the
prosecution will prove that an ''un-
lawful homicide" was committed.
After the jury was excused late yes
terday,s Judge Mccarthy told the at
torneys he felt too much time was
being taken up by witnesses who were
put on the stand before being inter-
viewed. He said that unless this fault
was corrected the trial might continue
through the Fourth Of July for no
reason that can see."

DEATH ON LAUNCH !.
TRIP IS PROBED.
Theory Mrs. Perez Ended
Life Is Disputed-No
Inquest Planned.

Maryland authorities today were in
vestigating the drowning on June 81
of Mrs. Maria Perez, SO, visitor at
1916 v street Sc, whose body was
recovered yesterday at Tilghmans
Island.
Sheriff Samuel Carroll of Easton,
Nd, said no inquest was planned, as
suicide was indicated, but Lucien w.
Bowen, owner of launch from which
Mrs. Perez dropped into the water near
Sharps Island, disputed the suicide
theory today. He said he believed
Mrs. Perez accidentally fell from the
boat while changing her position.
The suicide theory apparently was
based on reports that the drowning
woman refused to grasp life preservers
thrown to her by members of the
party of eight with whom she had
gone fishing. Mr.. Bowen said last
night he believed Mrs. Perez did not
reach for the preservers because she
had tainted or suffered a heart at
tack. He said she was subject to heart
attacks.
MIR. and Mrs. Bowen accompanied
Miguel Perez, husband of the drowned
woman, to ST. Michaels, Md, last
night to take charge of the body,
which will be brought to Washington.
Mr.. Bowen said they would inform
Sheriff Carroll of the belief Of those
aboard the launch that Mrs. Perez's
death was an accident.
The sheriff said last night Judge
E. T. Miller. conorer, would inquire
into the facts of the case before re-
leasing the body.
He said the body was sighted by
Raymond Webb, colored resident of
Tilghmans Island, after it had been
washed ashore by the tide. The body
was removed to st. Michaels on di-
rection of the sheriff,

HOUSEKEEPING
TERMS GIVEN TWO
QuantriIIe and Milton Are
Described in Court as
HabituaI VioIators.

Sentences Of from to IS years
for housebreaking and from 2 to 10
years for grand larceny were i'm
posed yesterday afternoon in United
States District Court by Justice Jesse
C. Adkins in each case on Carmen
g. Quantrille and Henry r. Milton.
In sentencing the men, Justice Ad-
kins observed that he did not know
Of any more deliberate HOUSEKEEPING
in the District. He declared the
offense was "a very bold one and was
carried out with careful preparation"
and that the perpetrators were
"habitual violators Of the law"
The Government reconstructed the
crime on the basis of a $21.20 Gov
eminent check, originally given to a
colored W. P. A. worker, Charles Mad
dox Of ZIG H street S.W. This check,
the Government said, was In the safe
stolen from the premises Of the
Washington Beef & Provisions Co..
Inc, lilo Z street S.W, on September
11-12 Of last year.
Cashed At Service Station.
The Government prosecutors, As
sistant U. 8. Attorneys John w. Jack
son and Cecil r. Heflin, showed to
the jury's satisfaction that Milton
on September IS brought this check to
a service station attendant and had
it cashed
The check was alleged to have
borne the signature of James Conroy;
Milton vouched for the check, pulled
out a roll Of bills as collateral for the
amount to show that it was good and
told the attendant to take a damp
rag and wipe of any flngerprint on
the check, according to the Govern
ment's contention at the trial. The
Government asserted that Milton had
approached a man in the vicinity
Of the gasoline station and asked him
If he knew where there were any safes
in that locality, as he knew a man
who could open safes as easily as q
cigar box.
Handwriting Expert Questioned.
At the trial the Government pro-
duced Bureau Of Standards expert,
who examined specimens of GUAM
trille's handwriting and testified that
these were written by the same man
who wrote the James Conroy" sigma
ture on the check. The Government
argued that recent possession of stolen
property, .unexplained, here permits
the jury to infer that persons who
have it are guilty of housebreaking
and larceny. The Washington Beef
& Provision Co., Inc, had taken in
the check in the regular course of
business.
The safe and its contents were
valued at more than $1,000 and it
weighed $500 pounds, the Govern
ment said.
At the time Of the arrest Of the
pair, it was brought out that Milton
had served under Detective Sergt.

in the Marines. Quantrille, 80 years

 There should be an early bad- lime enforced from infancy. The young chlj should be pzat to bed awake aad not taken from his bed during tn night.

 l. is essential that the young child even during infancy spend part of the day outside, except in extremely bad weather. In the winter months this should be in the Warmest pat of the day. This enables the child to acquire resistance against colds and con- tributes to the development of good appetite and sound sleep.
 Correct habits ot eating and sla ping with plenty of time for play in the sunshine will do much to lessen the incidence of the so- called hidden" diseases of chibd- hood, Frequent examination by the family physician to detect these conditions in their beginn- ingS should do nguvch to minimize their effects.
