a Defendants Plead
NoIo Confendere in
Cemetery LOT Fraud

Four Of five persons who we're
scheduled to face trial today in
District Court on a charge of con-
spiracy to defraud in connection
with the sale of cemetery lots on the
Baltimore pike, near Laurel, Md,
today pleaded nolo contendere to the
charge before Justice Henry A.
Schweinhaut, leaving only one to
stand trial.
More than $1,0O0,000 was lost by
investors in the cemetery lots, it
Is contended by the Government
through Assistant United States
Attorney Ray L. Jenkins, who is
prosecuting the case.
The plea of nolo contendere
means in effect that the defendants
are not contesting the conspiracy
charge and can receive sentence
just as though they had entered
guilty pleas. Justice Schweinhaut
did not set date for sentencing.
Those entering the pleas, all said
TO have been statesmen for the ceme-
terry project, were listed as Harry N.
Mitchell. .Uniontown. Pa: william A.
Harvey, Baltimore; Sam Black, Chi
|cago, and G. G. Squires. Pittsburgh.
They originally were also charged
with using the mail to defraud. The
charges were stricken out as to
Mitchell and Squires. Similar
charges against Black were nolle
pressed. Harvey, in turn, was found
not guilty Of the mail fraud charges
at an earlier trial.
With the pleas Of nolo contendere
entered, the nth man, Richard w.
Beaver, Dayton, Ohio, who is said
to have been q former president Of
the National Capital Co., one Of
three firms charged with promoting
sales Of the lots, went on trial both
on the charge of conspiracy and Of
using the mail to defraud.
