New Trial Expected
As Jury Disagrees in
Silver Spring Attack

Unable to agree on verdict, II
men comprising Montgomery
County jury were discharged last
night from the case against David
Allen Hamlet. %, accused Of
raping an 8-year-old Silver Spring
girl in the house where he was
an occasional roomer.
The Circuit Court jury at Rock
vile was reported as hopeiessly
deadlocked after more than six
hours of deliberation. and Judge
Stedman Prescott declared a mis-
trial.
Hamlets retrial was expected.
however. Judge Prescott termed
the jury disagreement as "unfor-
tunate" since the child would have
to testify again. another jury
would be "inconvenienced" to
serve. and the defendant probably
would have to remain in Jail.
Second Trial in 2 Months.
States Attorney Walter w. Daw-
son said second tria1sis likely in
about two months.
The prosecution was based on
statements of the girl. who ap-
peared in court in prim blue
dress, wearing faxen hair in pig
tails. She said that Hamlet as
saulted her in the upper bunk of
a double-deck bed last November 5,
while her brother and sister slept
below. Her father was driving a
baby sitter home. At that time
the child's parents were separated.
DR.. Thomas R. Fuita ',lc, jr., in
tern at the Washington Sani-
tarium, said an examination
showed the child had been at
tackled and also had contracted a
venereal disease. He said the dis
ease could be transmitted by a
carrier who might show mega
tive reaction. Police had reported
that the defendant reacted mega
lively.
Defendant Denied Crime.
Hamlet, a laborer, said he would
not think of committing such an
act, remarking to the jury that
he, himself, is the father Of a
10-year-old girl.
The defense declared others
than Hamlet had had opportunity
to assault the little girl. 1t also
stressed that the father was away
from his house only a few min
utes, during which Hamlet said
he was waiting on porch.
The defense emphasized that
the State produced no evidence
that Hamlet had a venereal dis
ease.

measure because Prince Georges

right to question State witnesses
