killing 13 persons, at DickerSon
September "a, was sentenced in
Montgomery County Circuit
Court here today to serve two
and one-half years in the Mary
land House of Correction at
JeSsup.
Judge Charles w. Woodward over
ruled a defense motion for a new
trial based on the contention that
the negligence of which the en-
gineer had been found guilty was
not criminal, culpable negligence to
justify conviction of manslaughter -
McClellands attorneys said they
had no immediate plans for an ap-
peal.
Believed to Set Precedent.
An official at the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers here, asked if
he knew of any other case of an en-
gineer being sent to Jail in wreck
conviction, replied that he knew of
none" The Interstate Commerce
Commission said that it had no
interest in the court proceedings
after its Investigations and therefore
had no record Of previous court
action.
The engineers conviction was on
a specific charge of manslaughter in
the death of DR.. Frederick Hoch-
steter of Pittsburgh. Similar
charges have been filed against him
for the death of the II other VIC
TINS but State Attorney Ben G
Wilkinson, when questioned by the
court. said he would follow the
customary procedure in such in
stances and nolle PROSE- the other
| cases.
The prisoner sat today directly
in front of the courtroom seat oc-
cupied by his wife, who was in tears
most of the time. She was not
present at his trial earlier this week
AS the court prepared to pass
sentence, McClelland, whose service
record included 80 years as an engi-
neer, was asked if he had any rea-
son to offer why he should not be
punished. He stood up undecidedly
at first, and then said in a voice
shaken by emotion:
mo. sir. I believe not. be-
lieve I have been punished enough
as it was"
Judges Hold Conference.
Sentence was passed by Judge
Woodward after he had retired
from the court and conferred for
few minutes with Judge Stedman
Prescott, sitting Jointly in the case
On returning he made the following
statement to the prisoner:
Your counsel referred to your
action as mistake, but the jury
found your act was culpable negli-
gence. There is no question that

Axis Survivors Passed Up
Because of Lurking Sub
By IVES GALLAGHER,


ALLIED HEADQUARTERS. North
Africa, Dec. 3 Delayed British
naval officers told today how the
waters between Sicily and Tunisis
were left filled with German troops
Tuesday night by the Royal Navy's
destruction of three Axis destroyers
and four merchantmen but the
presence of U-boat kept them
from picking up any survivors.
The night engagement was con.
cluded without a single Allied cas-.
ualty, they said.
The Admiralty originally an
nounced yesterday that two de-
stroyers and four merchantmen
of Tunisia-bound convoy were
sunk. Allied headquarters in
North Africa in a later report
gave the Axis losses as three de-
stroyers and four merchantmen,
at least two of which appeared to
be troopShips. The Admiralty
said it accepted the later, larger
figure as correct.
while the operation was car
ried out without casualty, the
British force was attacked later
from the air during it's return to
