Bond Salesman Won't
Prosecute His Wife,
Held in 5tabbing
Police Find Man Weak
From Loss Of Blood,
Wounded in Chest

Otis Tabler. 43-year-old bond
salesman, said today from his bed
in Emergency Hospital that he had
no intention of prosecuting his wife
Elizabeth who stabbed him in the
chest with a butcher knife last night
in their home at the Broadmoor
Apartments, 360l Connecticut ave-
nue.
Mr. Tabler, seriously hurt, but ap-
parently out of danger, expressed
surprise when he found that police
had jailed his 40-year-old wife over
night on charges of assault with a
dangerous weapon.
What the devil did they do that
for?" he asked angrily. "Therell be
no prosecution. I wouldn't harm a
hair of that girls head. Why don't
they turn her loose?
We've been married 20 years and
nothing like this ever happened be-
fore. 1t was just an impetuous, i'm
pulsive thing"
Wounded in Chest.
Police found Mr.. Tabler in his
apartment late last night with a
wound in his right chest and cut
over his eye. Mrs. Tabler was in
the apartment and admitted, &C
cording to police, that she had
stabbed him.
Mr.. Tabler was removed to Emer-
gency Hospital and his wife was
taken to the eighth precinct, where
she was charged. Later she was
removed to the Women's Bureau,
held overnight and brought to police
headquarters for fingerprinting and
questioning this morning.
Police could get no statement
from her, because of her nervous
condition, and returned her to the
Women's Bureau. But Mr.. Tabler
related the events leading up to the
stabbing as follows:
Il was cooking dinner and it
took me long time. think my
wife was a little angry about this.
She went off and lay down and I
went out on an errand.
Bond Salesman Since War.
When I came back and opened
the door, she was waiting there
and lunged at me.
I'm sorry, she's sorry and that's
all there is to it."
Mr.. Tabler is a graduate of George
Washington and Georgetown Uni
versities. He was wartime aviator
and has been selling bonds in the
District since the war.
Mrs Tabler, garbed in one of the
drab, green dresses given prisoners
at the Women's Bureau, was brought
to headquarters shortly after 9 am.
She wept as officers in the Identi-
fication Bureau asked her routine
questions, then fingerprinted and
photographed her.
Detective Sergt John Wise of the
homicide squad attempted to ques-
ton her, but found she was too
nervous. He said he would talk 70
her later.

lunacy Bill and Resale

The lunacy bill and the Tydings
minimum resale price-f1xing meas
ure, both approved by the House,
are the main questions scheduled to
come up at the final meeting of the
Senate District Committee for this
session, starting at o'clock this
afternoon. The lunacy measure,
amending the recently enacted law
to relieve crowded conditions at Gal
linger Hospital by giving officials
more leeway in transferring serious
mental cases to st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital, is expected to meet prompt
approval.
Chairman King will oppose the
Tydings fair trade bill, but it is be-

allow manufacturers to enter into
contracts with retailers to fix the
minimum resale price of trade
marked articles.

Parking on Streets
Al Unfenced
Fairgrounds Banned
Commissioners Act
To Further Safeguards
Lives of Children

Continuing a preventive drive
against child accidents, the Com
missioners yesterday outlawed all
parking on both sides of the streets
adjacent to unfenced Fairgrounds
from $50 am. to $50 pm. except
where other official signs prevail.
The new amendment to the traffic
regulations also bans parking with
in so feet of all entrances to fenced
grounds.
Since nearly all the school play
grounds are fenced, the effect of the
new law is principally on the half or
so of the "A Fairgrounds owned by
the District and operated formerly
under the Municipal Playground
Department.
At the same time the committee,
which studied the parking problem
around Fairgrounds, pointed out
that schools and school Fairgrounds
have a general parking prohibition
on school days from $3.50 am. to
$50 pm, while no parking prohibi-
tions prevailed around the other
6AOAAiao AloV COAIIlCCtCu Will CIlc
schools. The committee believed a
general regulation should be adopted
to cover the municipal grounds.
New parking regulations on five
streets also were approved yesterday
by the Commissioners.
They were:
E street N.W-No parking at any
time on the north side from Four
teenth street east to the first alley.

tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth

Brown Totally in Dark
On F. B. |. Probe Of
District Police
Agents Making Check
On Financial Status
Of so Officers

Supt. of Police Ernest w. Brown,
admitting that he is totally in the
dark concerning the current Justice
Department investigation of police
officers, said he has a scheduled ap-
pointment with Commissioner Mel
vim c. Hazen for today, at which the
probe may be discussed.
Tie police head said all he knows
about the inquiry, which has been
in progress since the beginning of
May, is what I read in the news
papers"
Meanwhile, reports were circulat-
ing that Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation agents were probing deeper
into the private financial status of
about SO oficers-checking on bank
accounts and inquiring into property
holdings.
The report of the Justice Depart
ment's findings. both as to the probe
of police officers and certain Po-
lice Court matter has been ex-
pected momentarily for at least six
weeks. Attorney General Murphy
told newsmen IN the middle of June
that an announcement probably
would be made within two weeks.
Observers speculated that just as
the F. B. I. was on the verge of
winding UP the probe. sensational
evidence pointing toward possible
corruption in connection with the
numbers racket was uncovered and
the inquiry continued with renewed
vigor.
1t is known that the Justice De-
partment long has tried to uncover
the reported bribes mentioned in the
Warning income-taX fraud case, in
which the defense claimed that large
sums of money were paid for police
protection" Whether F. B. I.
agents have lead on these alleged
bribes was not known.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF
MRS. NETTIE BURROUGHS.

One precious to our hearts has gone
A voice we loved is still,
The place made vacant in the home
Can never more be filled.
Peacefully sleeping, resting at last
The worlds weary troubles and trials
are past,
In silence she suffered, in patience
she bore
Till God called her home to suffer
no more.
A wonderful mother, woman and
friend
One who was better, God never
made,
A wonderful mother, SO loyal and
true
One in million, that mother was
you.
Just in her judgment, always right
Honest and liberal, ever upright,
Loved by her friends and all whom
she knew
A wonderful mother-that mother
was you.
She has gone across the river
To the shores of evergreen,
And we all long to see her
But the river flows between.
our hearts are filled with
sorrow
And tears have dimmed our eyes.
But we know we have a chance to
meet her
In that home beyond the skies.
Sadly missed by P. j. Macmillan
and grandchildren Hazel, Ruth and
Sylvia.
