2Convicted Of Assault
Pardoned by Lane

Pardons recommended by States
Attorney A. GWynn Bowie OF
Prince Georges County have been
granted by Gov. Lane to two men
convicted in December of assault
with intent to rape a 43-year-old
mother near Oxon Hill.
Frank Cowens. Al, and Paul c.
Fugitt, 81, of Washington were
ordered released from the Mary
land Penitentiary. where they
were serving 5-year sentences.
The pardons we're approved by
Circuit Judge Charles C. Marbury,
who presided at their trial
Mr.. Bowie had informed Gov.
Lane that subsequent to the trial
two disinterested persons who did
not appear as witnesses in the
case furnished him with certain
very material facts convincing
him that the men would have
been acquitted on the strength OF
such testimony.
He said he wrote the Governor
requesting pardons ION the theory
that the States attorneys obliga-
tions with respect to the admin
istration of justice are not neceS-
sarily fulfilled when a trial ends
and the defendant is sentenced"
The complaining witness testi-
fed that the men drove her to an
abandoned house and beat her up.
She said she was left nude and
had to walk two miles to get help.

Schools Urged TO Help
Combat VenereaI Diseases

The District Social Hygiene So
ciety again has urged public
school authorities to extend health
and physical education programs
to aid in stamping out venereal
diseases.
Ray H. Everett, executive secre-
tary of the society. said children
should be informed about the facts
of venereal diseases in the same
way they are told about tubercu-
losis. blindness and other health
hazards. He said the three great
forces of guidance and preven-
tion-the home, school and church
still are falling down on the
preventive job.
Mr.. Everett called attention to
the large numbers of venereal dis
ease cases in children as reported
by the Health Department. He
said the police and the Health
Department were working ener-
getically and successfully to re-
press commercial prostitution and
to diagnose, treat and cure vene-
real diseases. He pointed out,
however, that these efforts were
only salvaging projects.
