Gambling Defendants Forgery Charge Hold,
Challenge Seizures by Army Wife Traced by
MarshaIs BeyondD. {. Pyramid Club Link

Whether the United States
marshals attached to the District
can bring into court evidence they
have seized beyond the District
line was under consideration to-
day by Judge Edward M. Curran
of District Court.
Involved is the seizure of gam
bling paraphernalia in Prince
Georges County, Md. by District
Court marshals in connection with
the arrests on March Is of Will
liam (Snags) Lewis and 13 others
charged with violating the Dis
trict gambling laws by their oper-
ations over the District line.
Legal memorandums in the case
were filed yesterday.
The defense attorneys shouted
kidnapping" at the arraignment
of the men. Government lawyers,
however, say'the new Federal code
allows arrests 100 miles beyond
the jurisdiction of the court.
The evidence was obtained on
search warrants issued by Archie
Meatyard, United States Com
missioner in Bethesda. The war;
rants were issued to United States
Marshal Bruce Matthews of Dis
trict Court. His deputies executed
the raids.
1t is the defense contention
that while the marshals may serve
summonses outside the District, If
the summonses originate here,
they may not serve papers origi-
mating elsewhere. The defense
holds United States marshals
from Baltimore should have been
used.
Affldavits to support cutting off
the telephone service to the Amer
lean Restaurant, 407 Ninth street
NV, licensed to William
Schwartz and Benny Bass. were
filed in District Court yesterday.
Pasquale Sanducci, a United
States deputy marshal from New
York, who aided here in the gam
bling investigation, said he made
several plays on the numbers in
the place, and that the telephone
was used to transmit numbers

A young Army wife today faced
grand jury action on a forgery
charge to which she was linked
by q signature she left with a
pyramid club.
Mark Roberts, S. Kann Sons
store detective. related details OF
his investigation in the arraign-
ment yesterday Of Mrs. Loretta
Nienaber, 18. Police said Mrs
Nienaber lives alone in the 100
block of South Monroe street,
Arlington, and that her husband
is a soldier stationed at Fort Nc
Nair.
At the hearing, Mrs. Nienaber
admitted to United States Com
missioner Cyril S. Lawrence that
she forged the signature OF a store
customer to charge account pur-
chases of $271 worth of articles.
Complaint Filed Two Weeks Ago.
Detective Roberts said the store
first learned of the swindle two
weeks ago when Mrs. LYDIA Davis
4400 block Of Fourteenth street
NE, complained she had been
billed for $27l more than she
had actually charged during the
preceding month.
Questioning clerks, the detective
first obtained a description of
the suspect. Last Thursday Mr.
Roberts spotted Mrs. Nienaber and
followed her onto the street.
There. he said, he saw the girl
stop and talk with a man. When
she left, the detective said he asked
the man if he knew Mrs. Nienaber.
For answer the man produced a
slip of paper bearing the suspects
name and address in her own
handwriting. She had left this
with him at Pyramid Club meet
ing several months ago. he told
the detective.
Signatures Compared.
A check with Metropolitan Po-
lice handwriting experts showed
the signature to be the same as
that appearing on the forged
charge account slips at Kann's,
Mr.. Roberts said. He arrested the
girl at her home yesterday.
She told Commissioner Law
renee that she obtained clothing,
jewelry and sundries through Mrs.
Davis account because II wanted
a lot of nice things / couldn't get
any other way" The Commits
sioner set a $500 bond to hold her
