|Ex-Taxi Driver Waits
Sentence in Theft Of
$4,000 in Cash, Jewels

Louis w. Jernigan, 20, former
taxicab driver, today is awaiting
sentence in District Court for grand
larceny of $1,000 in cash and 81 900
worth of jewelry left in taxicab
by a 7O-year-old woman passenger
last May.
Jernigan, who lives In the 3700
block of Kansas avenue NV, was
convicted of the charge yesterday
by jury.
The jewelry was found in small
bag under the front seat of the
taxicab by another driver who had
rented the cab from its owner, after
Jernigan had stopped driving, the
court was informed.
Assistant United States Attorney
Sylvan Schwartz, who prosecuted
Jernigan, said the owner of the
money and jewelry, Miss Hazel F.
Wilson, of the $500 block Fourteenth
street NV, reported she had tossed
a pocketbook containing the valu-
ables on the back seat of the cab
Willie doo4StAAAS GAL oG-JCo& -o2a
woman from the taxi. The driver
left before she could return for her
valuables, she said.
Miss Wilson, according to Mr..
Schwartz. had gone downtown with
the jewelry and money to place it
in a safe deposit box. She went
shopping first and the bank had
closed before she was able to get to
it, making it necessary for her to
return home with the money and
jewelry.
'Jernigan testified he had not seen
either the large pocketbook or the
small bag which contained the
jewelry.
Justice Richmond B. Keech pre-
sided at the trial. The jury's verdict,
however, was taken by Justice David
A. Pine during the temporary
absence Of Justice Keech.

Previously Testified,
Mr.. Manbeck told the meeting, at

prove by Congress, the charter would
be submitted to District residents

assured him this would be done,
he added.

Committee. said he did not feel
national representation had "any
chance at all" in Congress this year.

drafting an entirely different bill
The Capper measure would have
provided for a constitutional amend
ment to empower Congress to grant
the District representation in Con-
gress and a vote for President and
Vice President.
Conference President Wilbur s.
Finch appointed a seven member
committee to edit and arrange for
Iprinting of the groups long planned
