Petite Is First Policeman
Killed on Duty in Arlington
Young Detective
Was Known for
Quiet Efficiency

Arlington Detective Russell
Clinton Petite, 80. a Quiet,
pleasant man. yesterday became
the first Arlington policeman to
be killed in line of duty.
He left the police station with
other officers to take into GUS
tody Jack Carl Sparks, "a. of
1903 North Taylor street. on a
warrant saying Parks was "al-
legged to be mentally unsound."
Parks had taken three guns
with him to the attic Of the
small frame house. Mr.. Petite.
not finding Parks inside the
house. had walked back outside
and was standing on the front
sidewalk when. without warm
ing, he was shot through the
head. The bullet was fired
through the louvres of the attic.
Today the flag at Arlington
Courthouse was at half staff. as
fellow policemen and other
friends mourned Mr.. Pettie's
death. He was one of the ablest
and most popular men in the
department.
The detective was born in
Culpeper. but his family moved
to Arlington when he was about
a year old. He attended Wash
ington-Lee High School. and in
1941 Joined the Army. For a
time he was chauffeur for 1t.
Gen Ira C. Eaker. former dep
uty commanding general OF the
Air Force.
After leaving the service in
March. 1946. he worked as a
private investigator, and on July
/. 1947. became an Arlington
policeman. 80
On July l, 1851. he was pro-

Robbery Not Violence,
Appeals Court Rules

Robbery is not crime of vio-
lence in the District, the U. S.
Court Of Appeals for the District
held today.
The courts ruling set aside
a Six-year and eight-month to
20-year sentence imposed on
Donald p. Thomas. colored. for
a grocery holdup last year.
The appellate court pointed
out that the maximum penalty
for robbery as such is Is years.
The court cited additional law
which specifies that any one
committing a crime of violence
while having q gun readily avail
able may receive a term of five
years in addition to the punish
ment provided for the crime.
However, the court pointed
out, under statute defining
crimes Of violence, robbery,
without the element of assault,
is not included in such crimes.
Resentencing Of Thomas was Or
dered.
Thomas was represented by
Attorney James s. Brocard.

Parks Vowed He Would Never
Be Taken to Mental Institution

Army's physical examination.
He was feet 2 inches tall and
weighed los pounds. This also
was disappointment. his
mother said.
Last year a cousin who was a
close friend was killed in Korea.
and this depressed him.
The youth had worked for
about three years as steam
filter for the District govern
ment. He left the job last year
After that, he left the house
only twice. He went to the
Arlington Mental Clinic for an
examination but returned great
ly upset." his mother said. He
called the examination there
childish and foolish" she said.
He went to see a doctor in
Washington. The rest of the
time, he refused to leave the
house. fearful he might be taken
away.
Mrs. Parks said her son first
threatened her with pistol
last Thanksgiving and has
threatened her four times since
Pistol Whipped Mother.
"FIe would sit by the television
and argue with the CONNER
Gals Mrs. Parks said. He
thought everybody was against
him"
The mother said her son pistol
whipped her Tuesday night. She
spent the night away from the
home and yesterday went to Ar
lngton Courthouse to have her
son sent to an institution.
Within a few hours, her son
and policeman who went to the
home to take him into custody
were dead.
When 1t was over. she said Of
her son, "IIe was a sweet, lovable
guy with lots Of friends. / feel
terrible about his death. / feel
horrible about the death Of the
policeman"
