Free-F Fight
Probed in Death
OF Soldier
Prince Georges Police
Hold Theory Civilians
Attacked Sergeant

An alleged free -for-all fight in a
roadhouse near Oxon Hill (Md.)
was being investigated by Prince
Georges County detectives today in
their efforts to determine how Ed
man F. Garrett, 35, Fort Washington
soldier, received a death-dealing
blow which severed his skull.
Detective John F.. Dent said a
group of soldiers and civilians en-
gagged in brawl at the tavern 48
hours before Sergt CARROTS body
was found on Livingston road,
short distance away, Saturday
morning.
The officer explained that though
the victim might not have been at
the tavern while the fight was in
progress, he could have been at
tackled by irate civilians later.
Windows Were Smashed.
Most Of the windows and the front
door were knocked out during the
fight, the detective said, and on the
day Sergt. CARROTS body was found
three men with bruises on their
faces were seen at the roadhouse.
No arrests have been made, however.
County police are inclined to dis
count the theory that the soldier
was a victim of a hit-run driver as
there were no bruises or brush burns
on the body, except for slight
abraslons on the mans knuckles.
Another clue pointing to murder
was being investigated thoroughly
Mrs. Lewis johnson, residing a short
distance from the scene, already has
stated she saw two automobiles
parked at the spot late Friday night
and several men walking around
after one of the cars turned about
to play. headlights on the roadside.
Did Not See Body.
Mrs. johnson told police today
she did not see body in the light
beam thrown on the spot where
Sergt. Garrett later was found. She
stated further that one OF the men,
with a flashlight, climbed the en-
bankment, walked along the top and
returned to the roadway before the
cars pulled away.
Detective Dent said he was pro-
ceedlng on the theory the soldier
was knocked out and brought to the
scene before the fatal blow was
struck.

TWO AUTOGRAPHED
BOOKS TO LIBRARY

James B. Hendryx broke a
long silence with his hometown,

Library with two autographed
books. The famed author of the
Connie Morgan books, sent his
latest blood of the North" and
another favorite "The Yukon
Kid" This week the books are
being displayed at the Bryant
Library along with others of his
material. Hendryx, who in one
autograph regarded this town
as the best small town in the

readers, and his works enjoy
wider circulation than the works
of the other Sauk Centre born
author, Sinclair Lewis. His
autograph is typical. He wrote,
