Hiss Asks Continued Bail
To Permit Further Appeal
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Counsel
for Alger Hiss. convicted perjurer,
yesterday asked the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals to stay
its mandate ordering Hiss to
prison until an appeal could be
taken to the United States Su-
preme Court.
The Appeals Court last Thurs
day denied Hiss appeal from a
perjury conviction and a five-year
prison sentence. The former State
Department official has been free
in $4,000 bail.
Hiss was charged with lying to
a Federal grand jury when he de-
MED giving secret documents to
Whitaker Chambers, courier for
a pre-war Red spy ring.
Hiss counsel. Chester r. Lane,
today, listed five points for argu-
ment before the Supreme Court.
The points included the ques-
ton of corroborative evidence to
support Chambers testimony,
"prejudicial' questioning of Hiss
on his failure to insist on lie
detector test. and fragrant ex-
amples" of misconduct" by prose-
cutor Thomas M. Murphy dur
ing the trial.

morrow to file an answering brief.

Wills Leaving Funds
To Rest Home Owner
And Son Held Invalid

Mrs. Anna B. Carrier, operator
of Silver Spring rest home, and
her son, Sanford H. Carrier, have
lost their claims in District Court
as beneficiaries under the wills of
two former patients. A third case
involving a similar claim is still
pending.
Judge James r. Kirkwood pre-
pared today to sign an order
which. in effect, will bar Mr.. Car
rier, "a, from receiving anything
under the will of John j. Martin.
Mr.. Martin, who died last month
at the age of SO at the Soldiers
Home, had lived for four years at
Mrs. Carriers home. His estate
amounted to 5000.
Will Found Invalid.
A jury in Judge T. Alan Colds
borough's courtroom last Monday
found that a will dated in Septem-
ber, 1948. by Mr.. Martin naming
my dear, faithful friend" San
ford Carrier, as sole beneficiary,
was mot executed and attested as
required by law"
An earlier case, decided by a
District Court jury last Septem-
ber, involved a $4,000 estate of
Mrs. Ann Mccall Galleher, an
elderly widow who died in Mrs.
Carriers rest home January IA,
1949. A 1945 will ordered her
property divided among relatives.
Mrs. Carrier then came into
court with another will purport-
edly signed by Mrs. Galleher.
That named Mrs. Carrier and her
11-year-old grandson, Claude
Robert Carrier, as main benefi-
ciaries. 1t referred to Mrs. Car
rier as my very dear friend, in
appreciation of her many kind
neSses to me-"
Coercion" Found.
The jury threw out the will on
the ground that Mrs. Galleher.
widow of a Spanish War veteran,
was of unsound mind when she
signed it. The jury also held that
Mrs. Carrier cor others" had prac-
ticed coercion and fraud.
Mrs. Carrier later accepted a
$4,000 settlement instead of ap-
pealing that decision, Attorney
Cornelius Doherty said. Mr.. Do
herty represented clients oppos-
ing the Carriers in both the Mar
tin and Galleher cases. Paul Tag
CART, attorney for Mrs. Carrier in
the Galleher case, said the set
tlement included another $4,000
in court costs.
A third case that has not yet
come to trial involves still another
dispute in which contradictory
wills exist. One favors the Car
riers and the other designates
other persons as beneficiaries. In
each of the three cases the bene-
factors, all elderly, were cared for
at one time or another at Mrs.
Carriers rest home at 1903 Bal
lard street, Silver Spring.
Fraud Squad Investigating.
AS a result of conflicting testi-
mony at the trials, it was learned,
1t. David A. Higgins of the Metro
politan police check and fraud
squad is looking into the matter.
He refused to say what he is
checking. It was learned that the

BALTIMORE, June 23.-Attor-
neys today filed a motion asking
third trial for Thomas A. Ed
wards, IS. convicted this week for
a second time of the Mahlan-
Kline murders.
The petition included a plea
that the verdict of two Baltimore

ored, but he faces either death or
life imprisonment as the result of
his conviction on a first-degree
murder charge.
Edwards was sentenced to hang
after his first trial II months ago.

and ordered new trial after find-
ing that Edwards was improperly
induced to confess.
Victims of the sensational slay-
ings, on September II. 1948. were
John Mahlan, 26-year -old clerk
in the Glen Burnie Postohace, and
Mary Kline. the 18-year-old Glen
