Judge
Warns Bookmakers
with Stiff Sentence
Judge Charles w. Woodward made

Judge Charles w. Woodward made
it clear yesterday that. Montgomery
County Circuit Court will not tol-
crate professional gamblers.
He said so in a strongly worded
pronouncement from the bench OF
the Montgomery court at Rockville,
then gave point to the statement by
imposing on a bookmaker almost
the maximum sentence allowed by
law.
Asks for Leniency.
The man found guilty of accepting
horse race bets was Peter H. Hill. SO,
a salesman of electrical appliances
who lives in the 800 block of Eastern
avenue. Silver Spring. The neatly
attired bookmaker sought lenlency
on grounds that he must support his
I'm sorry for your wife and chill
dren,' Judge Woodward said, but
am not going to stand for profess
sional gambling or any other kind
of racket. You knew what you were
doing and you knew the conse-
quences.
Therefore, I am fining you 81 900
and costs. That is the maximum. ,"
Should he fail to pay the maxi
mum fine, Judge Woodward pointed
out, Hill would have to serve time
in Jail. The court also ruled the
man must serve nine months in the
Maryland House Of Correction in
addition to the fine. The maximum
under the charge would have been
IL months.
The court next called Wilburn E.
Morrow, 50, to come before the bar
for sentencing on a charge similar
to Hills. In the hushed room, spec
tators still mulled over Judge Wood
wards comments on the Hill case.
Next Man Asks New Trial.
"Your HONOR interposed an at
torney for Morrow, I'VE wish to offer
a motion for new trial.
Judge, Woodward agreed to defer
sentence pending arguments on the
motion today.
In what the judge described as a
very sad case," Charles H. Grouse,
81, a partially disabled veteran, was
sent to the Maryland House Of Cor
rection for two years as penalty for
assault with intent to kill his former
| wife.
| After being honorably discharged
Grouse won a divorce on grounds
that his wife committed adultery
while he was overseas and while he
was being treated in hospital FOL

of her unfaithfulness, he and his

She looked as young, and just as pretty,
she told herself defiantly, as this new genera
ton who'd come to work in Bohm's, the de-

boy friends seemed very childish to her -
what did these silly girls know about real

they'd marry, "just to be getting married."
she thought comfortingly, and have kids and

wonderful thing for which she waited
Emma was glad she'd waited; but she
wished something beautiful would happen
soon. Nom and Pop were dead; her young
sister Clara had married 10 years ago, and
now lived in California. The two exchanged
letters now and then; and when each of
Clara's three children was born, Emma had
sent more expensive present than she really
could afford.
''Why don't you come out here on your
