seph A.. Wagstaff, and two COM
panions in the County Jail was
blocked Monday afternoon after a
struggle with the jailer, Joseph
Monkey and Norman Shirley, trus-
ty at the Jail. Mr.. Monkey and Shir-

of them obtained his keys and UNI
locked nearby cell where Wag-
staff was confined. The third pris-
oner then jumped into the fray. !
Mr.. Moxley said he was able to
knock out Smith. but was knocked
down himself. He said Wagstaff
tried to keep him from calling out
by holding his hand over the jail
er's mouth. but the elderly man
managed to call Shirley. The trus-
ty was embroiled in the fight and
knocked down, but was able to
reach a fire-alarm signal and pull
it. This set off siren outside the
Jail and brought county police and
other deputy sheriffs on the run.
Monkey later swore out assault
warrants against the three men.
Wagstaff has been convicted of as
sulting a servant in his family's
home at 55O6 Grove st., Chevy
Chase, with a pairing knife. He was
sentenced on Tuesday on this count

Fred L. LURES
Recommends
Gift Bonds
Banks Have Col0rfui
Folders In Which
To Place "E" Bonds

Fred L. Lutes, Montgomery
County Savings Bonds Chairman
recommends an E Bond as an
ideal gift for Christmas, 1919; al
so regular investments in U. 8.
Savings Bonds for brighter Christ
masses of the future. All County
banks have been provided with a
supply of beautiful Christmas
folders which Bond buyers may
use when presenting Savings Bonds
as Christmas presents.
Information has reached Mr..
Lutes from the State Savings
Bonds Office which places Mont
gomery County among the leaders
in Maryland in the sales of e
Bonds. Further that the sales Of r
Bonds by the people Of Maryland, 10
month 1949, reached $35,062,000
compared to 10 months 1948 Of
$33,331, 900 with a percentage in
crease of Bic, which places the
Free State in 18th place among
all the States.
According to Mr.. Lutes, the
people of Montgomery County
had invested $1,791,802 in Il
Bonds, January through October,
1949, compared to investments of
$1,575,972 in E Bonds for the
comparable 10 month period Of
1948, which reflects All increase
of more than 1877 for 10 months
1919 over 10 months 1948.
