Garner Defense Lose!
Attempt 10 Introduce
I'd Killing Evidence

Justice Richmond B. Keech in
District Court today blocked a
defense attempt to introduce into
the Garner brothers murder trial
evidence that the defendants are
alleged to have killed a second cab
driver.
The jurist also refused to grant
a mistrial because a Government
witness mentioned a cab driver shot
in the side. Howard Jones, 81,
colored, 400 block of Irving street
NV, the driver involved in the
current trial, was fatally shot in
the head.
The jurist made his rulings at
bench conferences.
The defense sought to introduce
the second murder charge in sup
port of it's contention the two
brothers are of unsound mind.
Indicted in Second Case.
On trial are George A. Garner,
25, of the first block of Hanover
street NV, and Lawrence j. Gar

under indictment for the first
degree murder of a second cab
driver. James Hardy, 38, colored, OF
the 600 block of G street NE.

who testified today were Mr.. and
Mrs. James M. Simmons, colored
of 10 Hanover street NV, and Miss

Senate Action Unlikely
On 0Ieo Bill During
Next Two Weeks

The oleomargarine tax repeal bill
appeared today to have little chance
Of being taken up in the Senate
during the next two weeks.
Although passed by the House
and reported favorably by the Sen
ate Finance Committee yesterday
with a labelling amendment, the bill
found itself struggling for recogni-
ton in competition with a variety
OF other measures when the Senate
Republican Policy Committee met
today.
1t is one Of several controversial
measures which may come up ii
the Senate has time after disposing
of the draft and the Vandenberg
foreign policy resolution.
The House bill was reported out
oy the Finance Committee in a
12-to-0 vote yesterday with an
amendment providing that when
margarine is served in public eating
places there must be some sort OF
sign served with each individual pat.
The Senate amendment, If ap-
proved by the Senate itself, will
send the bill back to the House once
more, where it faces complicated
parliamentary situation.
However, margarine supporters In
the House have reported that Chair
man Allen of the Rules Committee
has been promising them his group
will give the bill a rule to make
certain it comes to the floor for
final disposition. This would be
necessary If there is single floor
objection to acceptance Of the Sen
ate form of the bill
