Court UphoIds Murder Verdict
Against Death Car Driver

The United States Court Of Ap-
peals today, in sustaining a second
degree murder conviction of Charles
Sumner Lee, jr., colored, who was
driving an automobile loaded with
bootleg whisky and pursued by rev.
enue officers when he killed two
young children, held that q felony
made so by law is sufficient to
support murder finding.
Hitherto, said Assistant United
States Attorney William s. Tarver,
who, with former United States At
torney David A. Pine and former
Assistant United States Attorney
Howard Boyd, handled the case for
the Government, murder .convic-
tionS have grown out Of direct
crimes Of violence and not felonies
made 50 by statute.
In this case, said Mr.. Taryer,
the carrying Of bootleg whisky was
made crime by law.
The appellate court said that the
circumstances showed legal malice
and supported the charge given
by Justice Bolitha j. Laws at the
trial. Lee contended, through his
counsel, that the direct cause of
the deaths was the misdemeanor CT
reckless driving, but the higher
court ruled that this Is not valid
contention.
1T could as we'll be urged that
one who killed another while COM
mitting q robbery should not be
held guilty of murder because the
proximate cause of death was the
misdemeanor Of firing a gun within
the city limits" declared the court.

The Once of National Capital
Parks today appealed for co-opera-
ton Of the Washington public in
stopping the practice OF wearing
paths across grass-covered down.
town park areas.
Associate Director of the National
Park Service A. E. Demaray and
Acting Supt. of National Capital
Parks Francis F. Gillen said the
areas, particularly those in the
Mall, have been developed to their
present form at considerable public
expense (the Mall development
alone is estimated to have cost
81 600, ,0OO and that the entire char
acter of this section of the park
system is being destroyed by
thoughtless persons taking short
cuts across grassy areas until WELL
worn "cowpaths' are formed.
Park policemen have been on duty
in the affected areas since early
this month to issue printed warm
ings to thoughtless trespassers.
his mas resulted IN marked re-
duction OF trespassing as arrest is
threatened If the warnings are dis
regarded.
However" Mr.. Gillen said yes
terday, I'VE realize we cannot patrol
these areas intensively for an in
definite period. Therefore, we are
addressing an appeal to Washing
ton taxpayers to be a little more
thoughtful OF how they use the
parks which have been built and
must be maintained largely at their
expense"
Mr.. Gillen and Mr.. Demaray ex-
planned their concern was only in
regard to short cuts.

the squirrels or to eat lunch under
a tree or to lie down for q nap"
Mr.. Demaray said. But, when
persons, who are not out to enjoy
the grass but merely to get from
one place to another as fast as
possible, keep tramping across the
grass in one spot, something
must be done to protect the invest
ment the public has made in the
planting and upkeep of the grass"
Mr.. Gillen said his Office has
taken the current period of police
protection as an opportunity to re-
sod the paths.
Area worst affected at present is
the Mall between Second and Sew
enth streets. More than a dozen
such pats have been worn here. In
one panel OF the Mall alone, be-
tween Third and Fourth streets, five
such paths have been worn.
A marked increase in the num-
Der and size of such paths has been
noted since workers at the new
Bureau of the Census moved into
their new quarters on the south
side of the Mall. Transportation
facilities to the new Census Bu-
reau terminate on the north side
of the Mall and workers have
formed the habit of taking the
shortest way to the office.
Other places afflicted, Mr.. Gillen
said, are the section of the Mall
between the Smithsonian Institu-
ton and the Museum of Natural
History, the Washington Monument
Grounds, the South Interior Square,
the Ellipse and the grounds of the
District Public Library.
So far approximately 835 warn
ings have been handed out. Re-
peaters face arrest and fine from
81 to IS, Mr.. Demaray said.
