Nellie Leach
Wins Probation
In Dope Case
'Pusher's' Testimony
Helped to PIuce
Turner in Jail

A woman dope pusher whose
explosive testimony helped put
Randolph (Catfish) Turner in
jail for 8 to "a years won
probation today in Federal Court.
She is Mrs. Nellie Leach, SO,
colored, friend of Herbert
(Bucklejaws) Johnson, convicted
dope peddler and star witness
before the Senate District Crime
subcommittee hearings last year.
Both she and Johnson turned
informer and helped clinch the
Governments case against Tur-
ner and six others for operating
a million dollar = year dope
syndicate here.
Sentence Suspended.
Judge Burnita Shelton Mat
thews imposed a one-to-three-
year sentence and 500 fine,
suspending both sentence and
fine.
I'm view of your previous good
record and a recommendation
made by the probation Office I
am suspending your sentence and
placing you on probation" Judge
Matthews said.
The juriSt did not state for
what period probation would ex-
tend.
Arrested in a series of city
wide raids in November, 1851.
Nellie Leach pleaded guilty and
then worked as an undercover
agent for the district attorneys
Office for several months.
During the recent Turner mar
cotics conspiracy trial, the larg-
est ever held here, the informer
proved to be a calm, unshakable
witness who testified about the
inner workings of the heroin
ring.
With Johnson, she appeared
before the crime subcommittee
and gave sensational testimony,
accusing Police 1t. H. H. Carper,
chief of the narcotics squad, with
being a bribe-taker and protec-
tor of Turner's mob.
Carper Awaits Trial.
AS a result, Carper and his
principal aide, Sergt. William
Taylor, are awaiting trial, charged
with bribery and conspiracy to
violate the narcotics laws.
The true bill alleges that the
suspended policemen accepted
approximately $1,000 in payoffs
from dope peddlers.
During the period following
their undercover work and the
trial of Turner and his hench-
men, Bucklejaws and the Leach
woman were under constant
police guard.
The protection was ordered by
United States Attorney Charles
M. Irelan and his two assistants,
Thomas Walden and Robert
Ackerly, who said they feared
Turner's gang would attempt to
harm the pair.

teric chants and war whoops of
the savage no longer fill the night
air with travail; no more do hid
eously-painted braves dance round
the camp fires; no more from the
distant duck ponds is heard the
beat of tom-toms; the eeIie, wall
ing cry of the Indian is not even
as much as a. whisper. Now, only
sulking silence, albeit a lonely
one, prevails. The land is still
there, of course, but the tepees are
all down, and the bark canoes of
the savage glide no more over the
surface Of the placid Potomac. The
fires, too, have all gone out. The
almost legendary Indian is no
more!!!
l honestly believe that the true
romance and almost Incompetent
sible glamour of the real American
Indian has never been fully cap
tured by any writer Of song or
story. To do a good job his tale
would certainly have to vigorously
SAVIOR of a virgin, beautiful, I'M
violated land. His descriptive pow
ers and imagination would have
to be tremendous. He would need
to capture, in some inexplicable
way the feeling of freedom and
independence the Indian naturally
took as his God-given right and
privilege. He would, somehow,
have to find words that would
eclipse words, to spin the graphic
tale of the romantic, carefree life
of the aborigines. l would most
certainly, have liked to have lived
then, endowed with the ability to
have written just such saga.

certain spots, chip off, piece by
piece, flakes or "chips" from such
almost impervious stones such as
ryolite, jasper, semitic, serpentine
and flint, finally coming up with
the beautiful, serviceable and per-
fectly shaped (oftimes serrated)
game, bird and war arrowhead we
are SO familiar with today. Of
times small deer tines were rubbed
down to pin-point sharpness and
placed on the shaft of an arrow,
truly swift and fearful emmisary
Of death from any reasonable dis
lance.
In addition to the arrowheads,
thousands of needle-like, highly
polished bone avis (much like a
shoemaker's awD were separated,
one by one from the dark earth
where they had lain for centuries;
several extra large bone beads
were found; there were many,
many hammerstones, stone NOR
tars, pestles and quite few stone
and clay pipes, the latter highly
decorated. Not one celt (toma-
hawk or grooved axe was found,
indicating that this particular tribe
must have been very old, and had
not yet learned the manufacture of
these articles. Many thousands of
deer tines We're dug out of the
forty-three (43) frepits excavated,
proving conclusively that venison
has been the savages' principal
food. All large bones had been

able belief that the spirit travelled
southward-therefore the body was
always faced in this direction. A
clay pot containing food was placed
at the Indians head, his bow and
arrows laid at his side, ostensibly
for purposes of replenishing his
larder by hunting, on his long
journey to the "happy hunting
grounds"
One of the most priced possess
sions of the Indian artifact collec-
tor is the perfect clay cooking pot.
Few are ever found intact in earth
graves, the tremendous pressure
of the earth gradually crushing this
very friable artifact. Perfect pots
are usually found in mounds
oftimes in "rock" graves. At the
Hughes Site" not one perfect pot
was unearthed, although several
were ingeniously restored by glu-
ing together fragments found close
together. Several rare benner
(ceremonia) stones were dug up,
two of which were perfect, an I'M
usual and valuable find indeed.
The "jewelry" of the Indian, his
pendants, gorgets, beads, and all
other private and personal posses
sions, were sinvariably buried with
him. The smaller beads, compound
ed of fine grit mixed with crushed
oyster, clam and mussel shells
millions of which Were found)
contrary to popular belief, were
worn around the ankles and wrists
only. They were so small as to
be absolutely invisible in the black
earth. They were reclaimed by
carefully gathering the soil close
by the ankles and wrists, placing
it in a sieve and shaking it. The
beads could then be picked up with
needle strung with thread. Prob
ably two or three tons of frag-
mentary pottery were recovered,
the highly decorated rim pieces
being the most valuable (archae-
ologists can determine from rim
decorations, like that of an oak
leaf pressed onto wet clay before
firing) exactly the name of the
tribe to which this special custom
was indigenous.
One of the most valuable and
interesting finds was six highly
polished bird bone fishhooks, iden-
teal with today's modern fishhook
with a singular exception that none
had barb; hundreds of flesh or
hide scvrapers known as "beamer"
tools were dug up.
The legendary bone arrow "flak-
ing" tool, made from the leg bone
of the deer, too, was found, al
though in rather limited quantities.
This conclusively showed that not
all of the Indians were proficient
in the making of weapons and
tools; usually there was only one
experienced arrow-maker to "a
tribe, and, as rule, he did moth
ing else. Archaeologists and scien-
lists alike, regard as enigmatiu ax-
actly how the aborigines were able
to take this crude, almost upree-
ognizable tool, and, by pressure at

of a modern bowling ball, were

this particular area had been al
