Council Hits
Tax Exemption

At request of Mayor Edward j.
Jeffries Jr.. Common Council to-
day approved a resolution asking
Congress to defeat bill which
would exempt from personal prop
erty tax all manufacturing equip
ment for defense production which
is financed by the federal govern
ment.
Mayor Jeffries pointed out that
if this bill. already passed by the
Senate. were allowed TO be made
law, that all defense manufacture
ers would then ask similar exemp-
ton. He quoted from a letter of
the Michigan Municipal League
that the practice would be eX-
tended.
This would place undue hard
ship on home owners II they
were forced to bear all the costs
of armament" said Mayor JEFF
fries. 1T would mean an In
crease in the tax rate of serious
proportions"
The resolution in It's formal
draft will be officially approved
at the next session Of Common
Council. the members voted.
Plant expansion for armament
production is financed by the RIG
and its various subsidiaries, in
Guiding the Defense Plant Cor
poration, which has recently made
large loans in Detroit.

Full Penalty Backed
By u. 5. for Drunk
Drivers in Fatalities
NestIerode Cose Brief
Says 2d-Deeree Murder
Charges Are Justified

The Government argued in brief
filed in the United States Court of
Appeals today that second degree
murder conviction is justified when
motorist, even though intoxicated,
drives an automobile through
crowded streets in a malicious" and
"wantonly reckless manner" and
kills person.
Seeking to justify the second-de-
gree murder conviction of Richard
S. Nestlerode, 26-year-old laborer,
who was found guilty of fatally in
juring two pedestrians in a wild
drive across the city in June, 1910,
the Government declared:
"One who drives an automobile
in city like Washington, under the
hazardous traffic conditions that
here exist, in a manner such as ap-
pellant (Nestlerode) did, and kill
ing occurs, must suffer the penalty
which the law imposes"
Appeals From Life Sentence.
Nestlerode was sentenced to Is
years to life imprisonment in No
vember, 1910, after a District Court
jury found him guilty of second
degree murder in the death of
Joseph Nappo. 81, of 1850 Tenth
street NV. He also was convicted
of manslaughter in the death of
Mrs. Edna Mitchell, 40, colored, 8l4
Twelfth street NE, and was SEN
fenced to from to Is years in this
case. He has appealed from the
life imprisonment sentence.
During the trial, Nestlerodes 3
counsel contended that the de-
fendant was so intoxicated that he
was not legally responsible for the
two traff1c deaths.
In the brief, signed by United
States Attorneys Arthur B. Cald-
well, who tried the case, Charles B.
Murray and Bernard Margolius, the
Government said:
THE facts of the present case pre-
sent situation of such serious and
peculiar character that it is shock
ing to the senses of a normal in
dividual. Appellants action on the
day in question shows plainly .
a generally depraved and malicious
spirit, heart regardless of duty
to society and mind deliberately
bent on mischief toward others"
Rule Hailed in Brief.
The Government contended the
rule which renders a person, who is
merely temporarily insane as a re-
suit of voluntary intoxication, sub
ject to the criminal laws for offenses
perpetrated while in such condition,
is to prevent men from becoming
drunk, from putting themselves In
a condition where they will be like
beasts, preying upon society" HUI

Referring to the Nestlerode case,

rights OF members of society.
"a more virulent and wanton use
Of an automobile can neither be
