Court of Appeals
Hears Local Case

Calvin c. Larch, Oakland truck
driver, sentenced to six years in
the House of Correction for re-
ceiving stolen goods, told the Mary
land Court of Appeals last week
the lower court erred in refusing
to remove his case to another julis-
diction.
Larch, who operated a junk bust
ness in his spare time, was con
victed in Garrett County Circuit
Court for having knowingly re-
ccived three truck batteries.
Just before the trial began last
March 26, Larch's attorney moved
for a change in venue because the
defendant feared an unfair trial
and because a member of the petit
jury panel was also one of the pros
ecuting witnesses.
1t was argued that public opinion
was so aroused in this county that
it would have an adverse effect on
the jury selected. Counsel for
Larch contcnded the entire petit
jury could be challenged because
a victim of the thefts was also a
prosecuting witness.
"The actual presence of single
partial man on the sitting jury
destroys and wipes out the i'm
partiality of the entire body and
renders it partial" Larch's at
torney said. ANY improper juror
can destroy the integrity Of the
verdict"
When questioned about the stolen
junk materials on March ,, Larch
admitted he purchased them from
two tccn-agc boys. Two tires, a
seat and a wheel we're returned to
Ralph Pritts, owner.
"Three junk batteries in qucs-
ton, Larchs brief stated, pre-
sumably belonging to Pritts,
never actually identified in the in
dictment or in the possession Of
the defendant, formed the founda-
ton Of the case"
Counsel for the state pointed out
that on the day before Larch's trial
a defendant was acquitted in case
in which Pritts was also a pros
ecuting witness, as well as a mem
Der of the panel.
The state said there was nothing
in the record to indicate the trial
court abused its discretion in re-
fusing to order change in venue.

Senators Believed Irked

(which the rule evidently was not

light: The naming of George M.

retary of the Treasury and Martin
P. Durkin of Chicago to be Secre-
tary of Labor.
Durkin Choice Draws Blast.
MIR. Humphrey is from Senator
Taft's home State. Mr.. Durkin'S
name must come before the Labor
Committee for approval or re-
lection; Senator Taft is to be
chairman of this committee in
The new Congress.
The Ohio Senator has said he
was not consulted on either ap-
pointment. He issued a strong
protest on Mr.. !)urkin's selection
It was learned Mr.. Durkin'S
appointment was not cleared with
Senator Dirksen. Republican. of
Illinois and the choice of Sinclair
Weeks to be Secretary of Com
merce was not discussed with
Massachusetts, senators.
The source said the problem has
since been discussed with Sem
ators Carlson, Republican, of

court, one of the States best
known corporation and consti-
tutional lawyers, has been a
Judge one week short of eight
years. He has been head man
only since last August, giving
him the briefest term of any Of
Maryland's 16 chief judges. Yet
it's common talk his name will
stand out as long as any.
His 256 opinions secured Judge
Markets. reputation. A good share
marked him a judge with a mind
of his own. In eight years he diff
fered with the court majority in
38 cases, writing all but one of
these. That's a number Judge
Markell says is larger for his time
on the bench than any other
Maryland judge.
One of his famous dissents
scolded the court in 1949 for a
decision he said includes the
right to substitute trial by news
paper or radio for trial by jury"
The court had upset a contempt
verdict against three radio sta
tions and a newscaster who aired
pre-trial details in a murder case
Unless the Supreme Court says
so, I cannot believe that the broad
fundamental right to a fair trial
can lawfully be defeated by a blast
from the RADIO" Judge Markell
