News in Brief
Viers Mill Liquor Store
Fought by Civic Groups

A Montgomery County Council
decision to permit a liquor dis
pensary in the Viers Mill Village
shopping center has stirred up a
hornets nest of opposition from
residents of the 1.200-home devel-
opment.
Nearly a dozen spokesman for
church, civic and PTA groups
made this evident before the
Council yesterday. Among argu-
ments taken under advisement
were those that a dispensary
would put undue temptation in
the paths of home owners. ruin
homes and increase juvenile de-
linquency. The dispensary had
been approved earlier.

But they can only send me to the chair once,
so if things get tough, it won't hurt to kill

John nodded. His heart beat full in his

Il don't want to shoot it out" Brakeman
said. MY only chance is for nobody to

and set off down the dark sidewalk, in a
hurry to be home. The sky was overcast,

She held out her hand. Brakeman gave

told her.
He held his right hand about six inches

He never moved it from there, not even
during dinner Nancy made special effort
to be charming. as if to make up for her
first reaction to an unheralded guest.

1T WAS after dinner and they had almost
finished washing the dishes. Brakeman had
insisted that he and John help. so he could
watch them both. John was at the cupboard.
A plate slipped out of Nancy's hand and
crashed to the floor.
Involuntarily, Brakeman bent to pick it
up Nancy had heavy iron skillet in her
hand Johns reflexes started him forward
to grab it -
Brakeman Strengthened swiftly, his back
against the drainboard his hand inside his
coat, eyes Ticking from Nancy to John = and
John knew that if he had leapt it would have
meant death to both of them.
Nancy, kneeling to pick up the pieces,
didn't notice.
Afterward, in the living room, she said,
''One of Johns clients sent him bottle of
lovely twenty-year- ar-old Scotch for Christmas

He keeps it hidden upstairs"
She went out Brakeman crossed the room
and snatched up the phone.
He said, ''If she tries to call the police

was half out of his holster
John concentrated on willing Nancy away
from the upstairs phone. In few moments
he heard her coming down, and Brakeman
put the phone back No one spoke until
Nancy came in from the kitchen. She had
three drinks on tray.

WHEN she left to get them Brakeman took
out his gun again. He kept John covered and
got up with his glass.
He walked toward John and said, We're

John looked at the glass Brakeman put in
his hand Grains of undissolved white powder
