E.C.F|etcher Begins
Serving 6O-Day
Term in D. T.. Jail
. Release in H. O. |. 6.
Case Is Sought
By Counsel

While his counsel was seeking his
release today, Edmond G. Fletcher,
Assistant Attorney General in the
Harding and Coolidge Administra-
.tions, was in District Jail beginning
q 6O-day Police Court sentence,
after he had failed in District Court
yesterday to remain at liberty on
writ of habeas corpus.
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue in
District Court yesterday dismissed a
writ of habeas corpus granted
Fletcher December 16. Since mid
December, Fletcher had been on
liberty under $500 bond. His Police
Court sentence followed charge of
unlawful entry into house on Mill
tary road NV, in which the Home
Owners Loan Corporation had an
interest.
Fletcher was sentenced in Decem-
Der a year ago bv Judge John P.
Mcmahon to serve 60-day sentence.
Fletcher unsuccessfully sought a
writ of error in the United States
Court of Appeals here and a pc
&tion for a writ of certiorari was
rejected by the United States Su-
preme Court.
Fletcher was charged with moving
into the Military road house on
which the H. o. L. C. had insti-
tuted foreclosure proceedings after
the owner had allegedly failed to
keep up payments. The Government
accused Fletcher of refusing to va
cate when the H. o. L. G. asked
him to, and the prosecutor contended
that Fletcher took quit claim deed
during the 60-day period in which
the owner had to redeem the prop
erty. The case was prosecuted in
Police Court by Assistant United
States Attorney Karl Kindleberger.
On December 16, Fletcher obtained
q writ of habeas corpus. after he
had lost his appeals to the higher
courts, when he appeared before
Justice Oscar R. Luhring in District
Court. The writ was returnable
yesterday and Assistant United
States Attorney A. B. Caldwell, who
handled the case for the Govern
ment in District Court. opposed any
further delay in the serving Of the
Jail sentence.

numbers racket, Numeriano M. Del
Rosario, 49-year-old Filipino, was
found hanged today in the Lorton

The body was discovered in Ro-
sario's quarters in the prison dor
mitory and his clothing had been

Huff reported to the District Board
Of Public Welfare.
Rosario pleaded guilty after his
indictment here on January II, with
John r. Quijano, Filipino attorney,
and four others, on charges of vio-
lating the gaming laws.
The indictment resulted from
raid on December 81, 1888, on
houses in the 500 block of Twen-
tieth street NV, in which four
others were arrested. Rosario was
not taken in the raid, but sur
rendered later, and was charged
with operating a lottery and con-
spiracy to violate the gaming laws.
Mr.. Quijano, pleading not guilty,
was tried in District Court and ac-
quilted.
Rosario, at the time of his arrest,
said he was a law student, and gave
his residence at Riverdale, Md.
Supt. HUFF called the Fairfax
County (Va) coroner to investigate
the death.

whom apparently had come pre-

testimony.
The incident was without imme-
diate explanation, but it recalled to
some present at the hearing that
on at least one previous occasion
the general had been in fear of his
life.
In the file of his correspondence
collected by the committee was a
letter he wrote a friend some
months ago saying he might be
bumped of" on Western trip.
Were you seriously afraid that
water was contaminated?" a re-
porter subsequently asked the gen.
erals stocky, bespectacled associate.
Absolutely" he replied.
He refused second time to give
his name, saying that was "un-
necessary" He sat q short distance
behind the general, listening intently
to the questions and answers.
