Armed Youths Held
AS HoIdup Suspects

Police planned a special lineup
today to see If recent holdup vic
Tins can identify three youths
arrested last night after they
failed to go through with the
holdup of a store.
Three detectives were parked
outside a Highs ice cream shop
at 1908 Fourteenth street NV,
on a hunch when the trio drove
up about 10:30 o'clock. Two of
them went inside carrying
revolvers.
Within seconds, they came out
without alarming the clerk, who
was using a telephone. They
jumped in the car and the de-
tectiveS chased them to Thir-
teenth street and Spring road
NV.
The detectives were Capt,
Michael Mahaney of the special
Investigations squad, 1t. Law
renee Hartnett and Detective
Sergt. Robert Talbot.
They found two .38-caliber re-
volvers on the 17-year-old COL
ored boy who went into the store
We got cold feet" they said.
The driver of the car, a 49,
year-old colored youth, said he
didn't know ANYTHING about
what his companions were donig.

Probe Of Ticket Sales
10 Fraternity Party
Ordered by Corning

school principals were told to-
day to make a full investigation
of ticket sales for a drinking,
gambling and lewd movie party
at which nearly 200 teen-agers
were rounded up by police Sat-
urday night.
DR.. Hobart M. Corning, super
intendent Of schools. ordered the
inquiry and said students who
sold tickets in the schools would
be disciplined.
The stag party was under way
at the Don Pallini dance studio,
2625 Connecticut avenue NV,
when ~ policemen walked in as
an obscene film was about to
begin.
To Check Other Cities.
DR.. Corning said he also will
ask 18 cities of more than $780,
600 population how they handle
the fraternity and sorority prob
lem with a view to revising the
Districts regulations. The party
was sponsored by a high school
fraternity, police said.
A District regulation adopted
by the Board of Education in
1914 withdrew official recogni-
ton from such groups, but did
not bar them.
Meanwhile, an expected rush
on Municipal Court by teen
ayers arrested during the raid
and charged with disorderly
conduct failed to develop today.
Fifty-six Forfeit Collateral.
Charges against three of the
81 accused were dropped yester-
day. and officials at that time
said they thought the action
might bring others into court
in an effort to have the charges
dropped.
Fifty-six of the 81 forfeited
$40 collateral each. The three
yesterday had the collateral for
feiture set aside. When. police
were unable to state specifically
how the youths had been disor-
derly, the charges were dropped
by Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Clark F. King.
Another youth, Daniel Cher
noff. 18, Of the 1900 block of
Upshur street NV, is sched-
uled to appear in court tomor-
row. He chose to fight his case
in court rather than forfeit COL
lateral.

Corper- Taylor Graft Trial
Postponed for Fourth Time

Trial of police 1t. II. H. Carper
and Sergt. William L. Taylor on
conspiracy and graft charges,
April 20. has been postponed
again-this time until next Oc-
tober 10. This is the fourth trial
date set in this case.
The new postponement was
ordered yesterday by Judge Ed
ward M. Curran of the U. s.
District Court for the District
of Columbia upon request of de-
tense counsel.
Defense Attorney Myron G.
Ehrlich had urged a postpone
ment of "at least a year" in the
trial date, contending the trial of
the two suspended officers any
sooner would be prejudiced to
them because of the great vol
ume of publicity in the case.
Judge Curran expressed the
belief that a trial postponement
should be granted, but he said he
felt a year would be too long.
U. s. Attorney Agrees.
Assistant U. s. Attorney
Thomas A. Walden, jr., repre-
senting the Government. told
the court the Government had
no objection to a postponement
to some date in June early
enough for the trial to be COM
pleted before the summer court
recess.
The conspiracy count against
the two officers accuses them of
conspiracy to violate narcotic
laws. In the graft counts, they
are accused of receiving pay
ments from dope peddlers.
This is the rocky road the
prosecution of Carper and Taylor
has travelled since their indict-
ment on May %, 1852:
On May 20, 1852, they pleaded
not guilty and Mr.. Ehrlich was
given until June Z to file mo-
tions. The trial was set for
June %.
On June 7, Mr.. Ehrlich was
given until July Z to file motions.
The extra time was granted be-
cause Mr.. Ehrlich was going to
be engaged on Navy business for
two weeks.
Change of Venue Asked.
On July Z. motions were filed
asking a change of venue to the
eastern district of Virginia on
the ground there was too much
prejudice to give them a fair
trial here. Motions were also
filed seeking dismissal of the in
dictment md asking that the
two men be tried separately.

Shute Is Sentenced
.To3to IS Year Term
In Death Of Brother
By William G. PoIIord

John w. Shute, %, who said
he loved his brother Ralph more
than anybody else in the world, |"
today was sentenced to serve
from three to Is years for shoot
ing him fatally last July.
Sentence was by Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff of the United
States District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Judge Holtzoff
denied a request of defense
attorney, Bernard Margolius, to
fine the defendant instead of
sending him to prison. The
young man, however, will be
eligible for parole shortly before
completing three years Of the
sentence"
Rejects money Measure"
The jurist declared he had
never imposed just a fine in q
homicide case, declaring: "You
can't measure life by money
In answer to an argument by
Mr.. Margohus that Shute was q
person of good family and back
ground, Judge Holtzoff ex-
pressed the view that with those
qualifications a person should
be even more responsible.
Shute was convicted by a jury
on the manslaughter charge on
March Is, after trial on the more
serious charge of first degree
murder. The maximum possible
penalty for manslaughter is from
five to Is years.
Shute insisted during his trial
that the shooting was accidental.
He said the pistol went off during
tussle when Ralph, 20, grabbed
him.
Told Jury of Trouble.
The defendant testified that
his wife. Nancy. had told him
she had been intimate with
Ralph and that he carried the
pistol to Ralph's room to scare
him." He also testified that he
intended to order his brother to
move out of the house in the 800
block of Tuckerman street NV.
Mr.. Margolius said John had
on a previous occasion forgiven
his wife and the younger brother
following an intimacy in Florida
This brought. the comment from
Judge Holtoff: Sometimes for
giveness is ignoble."
Asked If he had anything to
say before being sentenced, John
repeated what he previously
had testified to at the trial, that
he loved his brother more than
anybody else in the world"
