Jury 10 Get Case
In Forde Tax Trial
BY the Assoeicted Press


BALTIMORE, April IA
Federal Court jury was expected
to begin celebrating today
whether DR.. Thomas H. Forde,
Washington dental engineer, tried
to evade more than $4,000 in
income taxes.
The 55-year-old defendant,
founder of the National Acad-
emy of Oral Dynamics and ad-
vanced researcher on tooth de-
cay, admitted yesterday he had
improperly reported his income.
But he said his error resulted
partly from lack of time from
his work and was not a conscious
effort to evade taxes.
DR.. Forde, of 5510 Sixteenth
street NV, was accused of fail
ing to report income totaling
$4,000 over a four-year period.
DR.. James j. Greeves of 1901
~ oOANSO 4N."'S O1A4CI pICSlUc1lL
of the District of Columbia Den
tai Society, told the jury he
gave half that amount to DR..
Forde because of his high re-
gard for the researchers work.
II would give him my heart
it I could" said DR.. GreeveS.
He described DR.. Forde as IAN
outstanding scientist who has
broken all the theories and
teachings of modern dental
schools" and whose work led
others in the dental profession
to revere" him for his efforts
to "revolutionize" dentistry.
DR.. Forde said he improperly
listed two $500 loans as liabil-
tiles, even though he did not
actually borrow such sums. But
he said those he listed as lenders
had given him much more than
that and he felt he owed them
the money.

Of his native State for four years
when he resigned to accept the
District Court appointment.
During his 27 years on the
District Court bench, he presided
in all branches of the court. He
tried two of the longest criminal
cases in the courts history-the
Hyde Dimond- Schneider
land fraud case and the Morse
conspiracy case. The latter case,
involving wartime Shipbuilding
contracts, lasted Is weeks. It
dragged on so long that the late
Clifford K. Bergman, The Stars
cartoonist, depicted the jury,
with long whiskers, climbing the
courthouse steps. while an aged
| byStander remarked: II remem-
ber when that jury was sworn. !"
The Hyde -Dimond-
Schneider case lasted three
months and brought the convic-
ton of two men.
Escaped in Court Shooting.
His career as a criminal judge
was not without melodrama. A
young man brought up for sem
tence had asked probation. The
court deferred action for a
week and instantly the youth
whipped out a revolver and
opened fire. The justice sought
safety behind the bench, while
the district attorney and the
clerk dived beneath desks. A
spectator in the front row sprang
on the prisoner and subdued
him after several wild shots had
been fired.
Shortly before Justice Stat
ford's retirement 600 friends
fellow members of the judiciary
and bar, business and profess
sional leaders-gave him a fare
we'll banquet.
Speakers who paid tribute to
him at that time pointed out
that Justice Stafford looked over
the Districts penal institutions
soon after his appointment and
set about bettering them. Lor-
ton Reformatory was a result
of these efforts.
Justice Stafford had delivered
addresses on numerous special
occasions. including the dedica-
tion of the rebuilt District
Courthouse in 1920 and Grant
Memorial in 1922.
Cosmos Club Member.
A volume entitled Speeches"
was published in 1918, containing
literary. historical and legal ad-
dresses Justice Stafford had
given in various parts of the
country.
Justice Stafford was a member
and former president of the
Cosmos Club. For many years he
was on the Board of Trustees of
the District Public Library.
Survivors are a son, Edward
Stafford, 1905 Allison street NV,
an attorney; a grandson, 1t.
Comdr. Edward Peary Stafford,
U. S. NJ. Monterey, Calf, and
seven great grandchildren. An
other grandson, 1t. Peary D.
Stafford, U. S. NJ, was killed in
an air crash in 1916. Justice
Stafford's wife, the former Flor
ence Sinclair Goss of Green's
boro, VT. whom he married in
