Carrier Story on Page A-5o
John Eugene Eklund, on trial
! for murder in District Court, to-
day leaped to his feet to cry out
against a fellow prisoner who
testified that Eklund had told
him man" had promised to use
the gun, alleged to have figured
in the sniper killings, to kill an
other colored man.
The witness, Marvin r. Harlow
who has been in District Jail since
April on housebreaking and larceny
charges. told the court that Eklund
had asked him what he thought
would be the effect on Eklund S
case if man then leaving Jail used
the same gun with bullets having
the same ballistic markings in kill
ing another colored man.
Harlow said Eklund told him
there was man who had promised
to do that. But a few days later
Eklund said he was losing con-
f1dence because this man had asked
for money, Harlow added
1t was at this point Eklund
leapt up.
Justice James w. Morris warned
Defense Counsel Harry Whelan to
quiet his client.
Said Detective R0ughed Him.
During his testimony, Harlow de-
clared that about 10 days after
Eklund had discissued with him
the effects on his case of shoot
ing, they we're discussing treatment
of prisoners and Harlow complained
that detective had once handled
him roughly.
He then quoted Eklund as asking
why Harlow had not killed the de-
tective and suggesting that if he
took gun and did so, he would be
doing them both favor.
At that point In the testimony
Eklund protested: That's ridicu-
lous."
Under questioning of Assistant
United States Attorney Charles B.
Murray, Harlow said Eklund drew a
map of park in Baltimore, indi-
eating with an TX" where an old
Army .38-caliber revolver with six
bullets in it could be found

tOOnIlnueO FROM First rage
of illegal search and seizure, but
that similar motion had beer
granted about the same time in the
case of white defendant. repre-.
sented by Mr. Ford.
The testimony was to the effect
that the white case involved the
searching of an automobile. after
officers had stopped the driver on 6
minor traffic complaint. In the
colored case Mr.. johnson said his
contention was the police hae
entered and searched a private clut
without a warrant
Says Cases May Vary.
Mr.. Ford took the stand to argue
that search and seizure is a wide
field of law, and that varying facts
In each case affect the decision.
The second incident was an auto
mobile collision trial cited by Mr.
Parker in which. he said, all the
witnesses for his defendant were
colored. The other car was driven
by white woman.
He said the defendant was found
guilty. He argued the question in
volved was whether the other driver
had given any signal in pulling out
from the curb.
On the other side, Mr. David said
he had represented thousands of
clients in Police Court and had
never seen Judge Casey show any
prejudice.
Mr.. O'Connell said he has lost
cases before Judge Casey, but had
never reached the conclusion that
the Judge had acted through preju-
dice.
Calls Casey "Ablest."
Mr.. Rhodes said he had repre-
sented both white and colored
clients and regarded Judge Casey
as the ablest judge in Police Court"
Wilbert McInerny, another attor-
ney who testified in favor of Judge
Casey, cited case in which the
judge showed a willingness to go
out of his way to protect the legal
rights of colored defendant. He
said the case concerned a concealed
weapon charge. and that the judge
made a careful study of the legal
questions involved before instruct
ing the jury.
Mr. Arts, secretary of the Wash
ington Bar Association, said he
may have joined in some of the
early conversations about Judge
Casey's alleged prejudice, but that
as the movement began to grow, he
decided the question should be in
vestigated. He said he began to
recall his own experiences before
Judge Casey. After describing one
of these cases in detail, he told the
committee he regarded Judge Casey
as "one of the fairest judges down
there"
One additional witness. Mrs. Mary
Wright johnson, appeared today in
opposition to the nomination of
Judge Cayton. She complained of
the manner in which two cases were
conducted in the Small Claims
Court, which Judge Cayton was in
strumental in establishing.
Several more witnesses testified
In support of Judge Cayton.
