One committee member said she
might be motivated by "spite.'
After a closed session, Senator
CrotherS said the committee had
advised Mrs. Keheler to tell her
story to the States attorneys of
Prince Georges County and Balti-
more City. He told reporters it
was logical to deduce that she had
mentioned some gambling figures
in Baltimore.
Spokesman for Prince Georges
and Anne Arundel Counties con-
ceded there is some gambling in
their areas but declared progress
is being made to eradicate 1t.
States Attorney j. c. Morton
of Anne Arundel said he thought
there is a connection between or
.ganized gamblers in his county
and syndicates outside but that
he has no proof. He said some
people connected with the legal
lied slot machine business there
have unsavory regulations. He
took an emphatic stand against
|legalized bookmaking.
No Calvert Spokesman.
States Attorney Joseph A. Mat
tingly said there is no organized
crime in st. Mary's County, and
similar statements were made fol-

that Sheriff Samuel Lyons was III
and that States Attorney Arthur

victed gamblers, but this was op-
posed by Senator John G. Turn
bull Of Baltimore County, a COM

pieces of real estate the energetic
father of the family acquired.
Besides his business acumen, Mr..
Coursey added a love and
really remarkable gift Of art to
his many accomplishments. With
never a lesson in painting he
created landscapes and portraits,
which for prodigality and beauty
were a wonder to his friends.
Many of these paintings now
adorn the homes of his Boston
friends. But Mr.. Coursey was
socially ambitious and more than
one Boston matron was ap-

alluring prizes held out to them
if they would induce their
daughters to smile upon a union
with son Frank. The match was
never made, but Mr.. Coursey
educated his son for the medical
