Convicted in Tuition
Statements 10 VA

A former head of a new de-
funct school here was convicted
yesterday on seven counts of
making false statements on
vouchers billing the Veterans
Administration for students

He also was found guilty on
two counts of making false
statements as to costs Of running
the school.
The defendant is Leo M. Bry-
ant. 46, colored, who headed the
Capital Business School, 1903
Fourteenth street NV.
Conviction was by a jury of
the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia.
Bryant. who was named on
the charges in an indictment
returned in January. 1852, has
for sometime been working for
the Liberian government as a
fiscal expert, authorities said.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff. who
presided at the trial, allowed
Bryant to remain at liberty I'M
der $500 bond. pending SEN
tence, for which no date was set.
Judge Holtzoff also ordered Bry-
ant to bring in his passport to
be impounded, pending sentence.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney John D. Lane, who prose-
cuted Bryant, said the maximum
possible penalty for each of the
offenses in the nine-count in
dictment is a $4,000 fine and
imprisonment of from 20 months
to five years.
Bryant arrived here from
Liberia in November to face the
charges and pleaded not guilty.
Twenty-three of Bryant's for
mer students also were indicted
last January on charges of re-
ceiving VA checks for schooling
without living up to attendance
requirements. All except one
of the students have been cleared
through dismissal of the charges.
One of them pleaded guilty to a
single count last year. The trial

the money they received to the
Government.

Maintenance Suit
Ruling Is Reversed

A man may not be imprisoned
for failure to pay his estranged
wife's lawyer fees in maintenance
suits. the U. S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia
ruled yesterday.
The opinion reversed, in part.
an order by Federal Judge Mat
thew F. MCGUIRE, in the U. S.
District Court for the District
of Columbia.
Judge Matthews had ordered
Jacob Berman, a pubiicist living
at 1913 Harvard street N W.. to
pay Mrs. Edith Berman 500 a
week support and $500 for her
attorneys fees.
When Mr.. Berman failed to
pay, he was jailed for contempt
of court. After serving three
days, he was freed by order of
the appellate court. pending final
determination of the contempt
case,
Yesterday the appellate court
declared that since imprison-
ment for failure to pay wife's
counsel fees in suit for separate
support is not especially pro-
vided for, by statute, the ap-
pealed order is erroneous, insofar
as it orders appellant committed
for such failure. :"
The case was remanded to the
lower court. Under the opinion,
Mr.. Berman still may be subject
to Imprisonment for failure to
pay the $100 maintenance since
this part of Judge McGuire's or
der was upheld.
