U.S.. Lawyers Question Merit
Of McAHee Murder Verdict
Supreme Court Asked to Deny Review;
Possible Executive CIemency Hinted

o. John Rogge, special assistant to
the Attorney General William w.
Barron, Special Attorney James P.
OBrien and Attorneys George F.
Kneip and w. Marvin Smith, told
the Supreme Court today, after dis
cussing number of legal questions:
However, we are compelled to
state that, considering all the cir
cumstances of the case, we would
have been extremely reluctant, had
we been on the jury, to return a ver-
dict Of murder in the first degree,
with the resultant mandatory pen
atty Of death. In view of the con-
flicting evidence with respect to the
circumstances surrounding the CIV
ing of the confessions and with re-
spect to the intoxication Of the pc
titioner at the time Of the alleged
murder, q verdict of a lesser degree
Of homicide might well have been
returned. These factors present
considerations, however, which lie
within the cognizance OF the execu-
tive rather than the judiciary.
Int0xication Claimed.
"Since the petition presents no
question which requires review on
writ of certiorari, we respectfully
submit that the petition for writ
of certiorari should be denied"
Attorneys Miller and McMenamin.
on behalf of McAffee, contend that
he was so intoxicated at the time
OF the alleged murder that he was
mentally incapable Of the delibera-
ton and premeditation necessary to
constitute first-degree murder, but
the Government today argued IN
It's memorandum that this is with
out substance.

Parks Office Seeks
To End 'Cowpaths' in
Downtown Areas
Letters Asking Aid in
Move Sent to 30
Federal Agencies

The once of National Capital
Parks today appealed to the ad-
ministrative officers OF 80 Govern
ment departments and agencies to
ask their employees to stop wearing
"cowpaths" across downtown park
areas. t=H
Francis F. Gillen, acting super
intendent Of National Capital Parks,
wrote to the 80 departments and
agencies attaching to his letters the
names and addresses of the employees
OF the respective agencies who have
been caught by park police in the
act OF wearing the short cuts.
Mr.. Gillen pointed out in his let
ters that park lawns are maintained
out OF public funds for the purpose
of contributing to the beauty of the
National Capital. He asked the ad-
ministrative officers to whom the
letters were addressed to bring to the
direct attention of their employees
the fact that by their thoughtlessness
they are destroying Government
property.
This was the newest development
In a drive started last month to
gain the cooperation Of the public
In preventing damage to the Mall,
Washington Monument Grounds
and other park areas. Park police
have been issuing warnings to those
caught in the act Of trespass and
arrests have been threatened If the
practice does not stop.
Already Secretary of the Interior
1ckes has ordered police to arrest
repeaters Of the path-wearing
onense. The violation carries Z
fine OF from 81 to IS.
Both Mr.. Gillen and A. +.
Demaray, associate director Of the
National Park Service. have indi-
Gated they are attempting to stop
only such trespass as tends to wear
hard-packed paths across the grass.
They have said that normal use. Of
the grass for strolling or sitting in
the shade is not to be discouraged.
The parks ONCE said today the
annual cost of resodding and re-
seeding these paths amounts to ap-
proximately 10000 each year and
takes the time of maintenance
forces needed on other park projects.

BY WILLIAM A. MILLEN.

Half dozen prominent lawyers
of the Department of Justice, in
cluding Solicitor General Francis
Biddle, q former Federal Judge, told
the Supreme Court today that they
would have been extremely reluc-
tant" to return a first degree murder
conviction against William McAnee,
61-year-old colored janitor, who has
been twice convicted Of that charge
in District Court here.
The Governments counsel, In ask
ing the Supreme Court to deny the
petition for q writ Of certiorari, filed
by McAnee's lawyers, Robert I.
Miller and Joseph A. McMenamin,
said that considerations are pre-
sented which lie within the cogni-
zance Of the executive rather than
the judiciary" apparently limiting
at possible executive clemency by
President Roosevelt for the con-
demned man.
McAfee was indicted on August
26, 1887, for the alleged Staying Of a
