today by defense counsel in what
appeared to be Medley's last chance
of escaping death in the electric

a motion for a writ of certiorari for
the 44-year -old slayer of Mrs. Nancy
Boyer. However, Attorney John T
Bonner said he would try today to
get one Of the justices to postpone
the execution until the tribunal
could act when 1t reconvenes in the
fall on petition for a rehearing OF
the motion to review the case.
The Court OF Appeals yesterday
denied motion for stay of execu-
tion pending the Supreme Court ac-
ton on the petition.
Medley was convicted In June
1945, Of the first-degree murder OF
Mrs. Boyer in her fashionable Six
teenth street apartment the previous
March. Originally scheduled to die
last November l6, Medley has hao
three stays of execution. The Court
of Appeals last April affirmed his
District Court conviction.
Medley escaped from District Jai

zoning Board Hears
Protest on Location
I0f Hebrew School

The search of the Hebrew Acad-
emy of Washington, Inc, for a
building in which to carry on a
parochial school hit another snag
today as neighbors and civic spokes-
men opposed continuance of the
institution at 1902 Decatur street
NV. and its expansion to 4701
Georgia avenue NV,
The case is one of 27 appeals being
heard by the Board of Zoning
Adjustment at its regular monthly
hearing at the District Building.
About two years ago the academy
was granted temporary permission
to operate at the Decatur street
location pending construction of a
proposed new school building at Six
teenth street and Fort Stevens drive
NV.
After running into numerous
building delays resulting from short
age of materials and Government
controls over construction, the
school last month applied to the
board for permission to locate tenn
porarily at ATS Sixteenth street
NV, until the new school could be
built.
This appeal was denied after resi-
dents of the area, including Clark
Griffith, president of the Washing
ton Baseball Club, vigorously op-
posed the proposal.
Today neighbors presented the
board petition objecting to further
continuance and expansion of the
school at its present location. Cliff.
ford H. Newell, who told the boarc
he represented 1000 taxpayer mem.
bers of the Arkansas Avenue Com.
munity Association, objected to g
commercial use" in this Residential
area.
He was joined by John H. Con-
naughton and Harvey o. Craver OF
the Petworth Citizens Association
Attorney James c. Wilkes, repre-
senting the academy, told the boarc
the institution is strictly profit
from every point of view" He sale
that although many of the objectors
alleged complaints against the noise
resulting from the school, no such
complaints were presented to the
school officials nor were any brought
to the school by police.
