ton Hall Wednesday at pm. It

Surprise Guilty Pleas
Made by virginians
In Stolen Car Case
Richmond Men Admit
Toking Engines From
Wrecked Automobiles

Springing q surprise in the midst
OF their trial, two Richmond (Va.)
automobile men in District Court
late yesterday pleaded guilty before
another Judge to taking engines out
OF wrecked automobiles and placing
them In cars stolen from the streets
OF washington, to give good title
to purchasers. Some time ago the
District Court grand jury indicted
them on four charges Of grand lar
ceny.
Palmer j. Wellhouse pleaded gull
ty to all four cases, while John r.
Kendig admitted his guilt in three
OF the cases. Assistant United States
Attorney Arthur j. Mclaughlin, who
prosecuted the case when 1t opened
Tuesday before Justice James M.
Proctor, said he would nolle PROSE-
the remaining case against Kendig.
Justice Proctor was i'll yesterday Of
influenza and the case was in recess,
but late in the day, when court was
about to close. Wellhouse and Ken
dig came in with their counsel and
appeared before Justice Jesse C..
Adkins in Criminal Court No. 2 and
admitted their guilt.
Both Reiterate Guilt.
Justice Adkins questioned them
closely to make sure they knew
what they were doing and both re-
1terated their guilt. At the request
OF his lawyer, Justice Adkins re-
ferred the case of Kendig to the
probation officer and was informed
that Wellhouse is not eligible for
probation. Cunsel for the accused
prevailed on the jurist to withhold
passing sentence on the pair until
they could secure a number of let
tiers and other information which
might have bearing on their cases.
Assistant United States Attorney
Mclaughlin explained to the jury
that the cars were taken from the
streets of Washington and later re-
covered in Richmond. After
parade of witnesses from Richmond
and the National Capital, the pair
decided, after consultation with
their counsel, that the Governments
case was too strong against them
and they had better plead guilty to
secure the benefit of any leniency
this might bring from the bench.
Counsel Explains Case.
Counsel for Kendig explained to
the court that their client was 26
years old, a graduate of the Whar-
foy, Cch001 of E;ro ~oo ~ %ho IT,:
versity of Pennsylvania. that his
mother had died and left him s5O,-
600 and that with these securities
he had launched the automobile
business in Richmond. They told
the court their client was not a
mechanic, as was Wellhouse, but
they had entered into partnership
and two Of the cars involved in
the indictments had been brought
into the concern by Wellhouse. An
argument over buying wrecked cars
resulted in the breaking up of the
partnership, according to Kendig's
counsel. They insisted that Kendig's
part in the transaction was in
financing and the sale of cars and
that he had no knowledge of the
mechanical end OF the business, but
late yesterday before Justice Adkins,
he freely admitted his guilt.
Testimony showed the automobiles
were stolen from George Bush, 1725
Willard street NV; Cardell Kleck-
ner, 1921 Fourth street NV; Jules
Resnick, 81 M street NV, and from
Mary Rolletto.
