Deputies Suspended
Pending u. 5. Probe
OF EkIand S Escape
Fugitive Still at
Large as Police Here
Broaden Their Search

While John Eugene Eklund
continued to elude police spread
out over the city and the waters
around it, the two deputy mar
ShalS from whom the alleged
sniper- slayer escaped were or
dered suspended last night pend
ing investigation by the Justice
Department.
Still at large more than 48 hours
after his dash to freedom from the
gates of the District Jail, Eklund
faced one of the most determined
manhunts of generation.
All available police were said to
be aiding in the search and every
detective in the city was assigned
to follow up leads that might result
in the capture Of the 25-year-old
fugitive. Assisting the netropoli-
tan forces were at least 10 military
police and a number of auxiliary
police.
The two deputies, Carl w. Carl
son, a former District policeman,
and Robert J. Schmidt, 2o7 Under
wood street NV, were suspended
after a conference between Thomas
D. Quinn, administrative assistant
to the Attorney General, and United
States Marshal John B. Colpoys.
Deputies Face Investigation.
Mr.. Quinn said he had talked
with both deputies and that their
suspension pending investigation
had been ordered. Carlson has been
on the marshals staff four months,
Schmidt, four years.
Meanwhile, Eklund's fate at the
hands of a District Court jury try
ing him for the murder of Hyland
McClaine, colored, on October Is
1910, was as much a mystery as his
whereabouts.
On orders from Justice James w
Morris, the jury returned a sealed
verdict at 1928 pm. yesterday after
celebrating in ignorance of the
escape of the man whose fate they
were deciding.
After conferring 21z hours with
defense and prosecution counsel
Justice Morris decided to order a
sealed verdict but when the seal

Eight Nazi saboteurs who came
to the United States in U-boats on
mission of destruction will learn
their fate sometime this week, 1t
was indicated last night at the close
of the fourth day of their trial.
Death, either on the gallows or
before a firing squad, is the penalty
facing them if convicted.
The eight prisoners, however,
don't appear to be worried about
what may happen to them. News
papermen who saw them yesterday
for the first time were impressed by
their cold -blooded indifference and
apparent lack of fear.
Speeding up the trial, the special
military tribunal of seven generals
did not call halt on the proceed
ings until 6 o'clock, about an hour
and a half later than it has quit
in the past. At that time it issued
official communique No. S, which
contained only one previously un-
known bit of information-that an
FBI agent spent the afternoon on
the witness stand and was subjected
to cross examination.
Official Announcement.
The latest communique, brief life
the four that preceded it, merely
said:
The commission sat until 6 pm.
An FBI agent was on the stand
throughout the afternoon.
The witness was cross-examined
at length and such examination will
be continued.
The commission adjourned until
10 am. Monday"
The Government hopes to COM
plete its case against saboteurs to-
morrow. The defense expects to
take at least two days, since the
eight prisoners want to take the
witness stand to make final plea
for their lives. A verdict then could
be possible as early as Thursday
President Roosevelt, however, must
review and approve the trial COM
missions decision before its execu-
ton.
Doors to the courtroom in the
Justice Department Building which
have been closed to all except those
having direct connection with the
case, were opened yesterday after
noon to select group of newspaper
