Unique Trial
Reviyes Old
Maryland Law
Jury Gives EmbezzIer
$4,000 Damages For.
~ osseS "a .Casaa,sa.. TIA !.

A trial that held everything for
uniqueness and drama was heard
in Rockville Monday and Tuesday
before Judges Woodward and Pre-
scott, and resulted in a 100000
damage suit verdict that may cut
gambling in Maryland. Harry w.
Wilson, SO, of Hyattsville, now
awaiting sentence in the District
Court after pleading guilty of en-
bezzlement, had brought suit
against James H. La Fontaine,
owner of "Jimmy's Place" where
he had lost the money he had en-
bezzled.
The case mad been removed from
Prince Georges County. 1t was the
second of its kind to be heard in
the State. The first was in 1855.
1t comes under an ancient statute
which provides one may recover
money lost at gaming table. 1t
took the jury, headed by Elisha H.
Davis, of Laytonsville, less than an
hour to return the verdict award
ing Wilson 100000 of the SAB, 1856.
So named in the suit as having
been lost in dice and roulette play
at the Prince Georges gaming
place. H..
Much of the drama was furnish
ed by the exchange Of words bet
ween T. Howard Duckett, attorney
for Wilson, and F. Barnard Welsh,
of Rockville, counsel for Jimmy,
in the final arguments. At one
point Mr.. Welsh stated that "the
people of Prince Georges County
evidently think Jimmy La Fontaine
is alright because they have done
nothing to shut him up"
Mr.. Duckett, VINO lives in Prince
Georges, answered that 1--WE don't
condone Mr.. Fontaine-we just
can't get rid of him. If we close
him up today he opens tomorrow
if we sent State police after him
he is gone. II we send county po-
lice they come back frustrated"
Fontaine did not appear in court.
A second suit against Fontaine
has been moved to Howard County.
1t was filed by the partners in
filling station where Wilson was
bookkeeper, from whom he con-
fessed to embezzling money.

ATnlY ShOW Here June 9th
County Quota Is $3,25O,OOO. "This Is The
Infantry" To Be Shown Only In Rockville.
Many Community Rallies Are Planned

The Seventh War Loan Drive
was formally opened in Maryland
Monday with a meeting in the
Emerson Hotel in Baltimore, at
tended by Baltimore City and
County Chairmen in the Seventh
War Loan Drive. 1t was pointed
out that some potential bond buy
ers are likely to be misled into
reducing the amount of their pur-
chases because of the recent end
of the European phase of the war;
Speakers dwelt upon the fact that
the situation in the Seventh War
Loan Drive is similar to that in
the War between the States after
the Battle of Gettysburg when
Abraham Lincoln made his immor-
tai address in which he said:
at is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remain
ing before us, that from these hon
ored dead we take increased de-
votion to that cause for which they
gave the last full measure of de-
votion."
The Treasury has set an overall
quota of $14,0OO,0 100000 in the
Seventh War Loan Drive, Of
which exactly half, or 100000,
900 is to be sold to individuals
in an effort to head off further
initiation.
In the County, Fred L. Lutes,
Chairman, said that preliminary
reports reaching him indicated
that the Seventh War Loan is
being well received and already
the various issuing agencies arc
doing good business.
The county quota is $3,250, 900.
Many community bond rallies
and other patriotic events are being
isg tlis@ q
supplement the work Of the public
schools in arousing interest in the
current Drive. Among these will
