DRINKING PARTY
WINDS UP WITH
FATAL SHOOTING
Erwin Steyer Shot and Killed By
William White, 20, In Latter's
Home; Murder Warrant
Issued and Served

Erwin Samuel Steyer, 80, of near
Steyer, was shot and killed last Sat
urday evening by William White, 70,
following prolonged drinking party
at the latter's home, located between
the communities of Steyer and Cor
man.
States Attorney Neil C. Fraley
said White that night admitted firing
a shotgun at Steyer but further de-
tails of the tragedy were not re-
vealed until Sunday and Monday, be-
cause Of Whites inebriated condition.
A warrant charging White with
murder was issued on Monday by
Magistrate H. A. Loraditch upon in
formation provided by Sheriff
George f. Coddington.
Release On Bond Authorized
Departing somewhat from the
usual procedure of persons charged
with murder and being held with
out bond, fourth judicial circuit
Judges in the circuit court on Tues
day afternoon authorized the release
of White on $4,000 bond. Whites
case will be brought before the grand
jury at the September term of court.
There had been some conjecture that
the March grand jurors might be re-
called to hear the evidence. White
was represented in court by Walter
W. Dawson and William R. Offutt,
attorneys.
Will Plead Self Defense
White has indicated, according to
Mr.. Fraley, that he would plead self
defense. The shooting occurred after
a bitter argument in the course of
prolonged drinking party that started
about 2 p. M, when Steyer brought
several bottles of wine to Whites
home.
According to Mr.. Fraley both men
apparently became intoxicated while
drinking wine, gin and whiskey and
started arguing late in the afternoon.
Shortly before supper time, Mrs.
White fled the home with her two
daughters, aged ? and 7, when White
procured a revolver and was tackled
by Steyer who took it away from
him. In the scuffle the revolver was
discharged once but no one was in
jured.
After pocketing the revolver Steyer
stepped outside a moment, Mr.. Fraley
said. When Steyer walked through the
kitchen door he was confronted by
White with a shotgun which the lat
ter had taken from a gun case in the
corridor adjoining the kitchen.
White told Fraley that Steyer had
said, 81 am going out and when re-
turn | am going to kill you You have
just three minutes to live" Upon his
return, White added that Steyer ad-
vanced on him and that when Steyer
grasped the barrel of the shotgun

Gender Wants Park
Developed in County

Senator Bernard I. Gender, de-
clared at a recent meeting in Balti-
more with state forest and parks of
ficials that the state could save
"several hundred thousand dollars"

contemplated to the Bayside Park
dcvelopement for which sites are now
under consideration by a seven-man
committee appointed by Governor
O'Conor.
"But with all the fuss about Bay
side Park on the Chesapeake, which
might cost up to half a million dol
lars-and still be 200 miles from
Marylands summer playground here
in Garrett county-it's time we
pointed out few facts" Gender said
He claimed the Bayside Park would
be useful principally in the summer
and in the summer "much of the
population around the Chesapeake
comes to Garrett county"
TO Inspect Site
Members of the advisory group to
the State Board of Public Works may
make a trip to this county to inspect
proposed sites for state park, it
was announced this week.
a schedule of inspection visits to
the various Maryland properties
under consideration for state parks
was worked out at a recent meeting
of the group with Governor O'Conor
The final decision of the Board of
Public Works in the choice of state
park sites, the governor said, will de-
pend to a large extent upon the rec
concentration of the advisory graup.
