Trial Hears Of Letter
Discussing Possible
Sleppards' SpIit-Up
BY the A.seeiased Press

CLEVELAND, Dec. IA let
ter about possible separation of
DR.. Samuel H. Sheppard and his
wife Marilyn was discussed
briefly today before the jury in
the young osteopath's murder
trial. But the contents were not
read.
This was the second consecu-
tive day the prosecution has
asked members Of the Sheppard
family whether the possibility of
separation and divorce had
arisen between DR.. Sheppard and
Marilyn.
DR.. Richard Sheppard, a
brother of Samuel, was on the
witness stand and cross-exam-
ination brought out the existence
Of the letter.
But defense attorneys succeed
ing in blocking further testimony
at that point, on grounds the
witness did not know what the
letter said.
DR.. Samuel Sheppard is being
tried on a charge Of first-deeree
murder. He is accused Of hack
ing his wife to death in their
Bay Village home in the early
hours of last July 4.
Written by Doctors Wife.
The letter was written by DR..
Richard Shepard's wife Dorothy,
who is under subpoena as a later
witness. At an inquest last July
she mentioned writing a letter
to Marilyn Sheppard on August
28,1950. She did not describe
the contents, but intimated she
was counseling her sister-in-law
like big sister"
Assistant Prosecutor John J.
Mahon returned to the subject
of marital strife today in cross
examining DR.. Richard. The
witness said he never heard any
thing "of any major character
on that subject.
He said DR.. Sam and Marilyn
had minor arguments, on Christ
mas and Thanksgiving, as to
where they would spend the holi-
days-with his family or hers.
They usually compromised, he
said.
"Marilyn had great difficulty
In adjusting to the life of a
doctors wife," the brother said.
"Dr. Sans hours were irregular.
When he had to spend nights
at the hospital Marilyn didn't
like it. She wanted him to spend
all his free time with her.
think she was a bit jealous of
DR.. Sans work"
However, DR.. Richard con-
tinued, "she was very much in
love with Sam and he was very
much in love with her"
Says Wife Mentioned IL.
Mr.. Mahon then opened the
question of the letter.
He asked if a letter regarding
possible separation of the couple
had been written by DR.. Rich
ards wife to Marilyn.
Defense objections were inter-
posed Immediately. But Judge
Edward Blythin refused them
and instructed the witness to say
whether he knew of such q
letter.
MY, wife tells me she discussed
1t wit me-" DR.. Richard testi-
fed. However, I don't remem-
Der it and don't know what was
In it."
After further arguments, the
Judge sustained objections to
such testimony.
The witness said he was one of
the first to arrive at his brothers
home on the morning Of the
murder. .t.....
DR.. Richard said he hurried
to the bedroom, thinking Mari

Union Protest
Ends Concerts
ByU. 5. Bands
Head Of LocuI Says
Tokomu Park Events
Hurt Professionals

A union protest has put q stop
to concerts in Takoma Park by
armed forces organizations de-
spite the efforts Of Mayor George
NJ. Miller to strike up the band.
The ban on Sunday evening
concerts in Washington PGrk,
North Takoma, was ordered
when the Defense Department
approved the protest Of Paul j.
Schwarz. president of Local 161,
D. C.. Federation of Musicians,
who is a resident Of Takoma
Park.
Violated u. S. Regulations.
Mr.. Schwarz said the concerts
violated the Governments own
regulations as to when and
where the service bands should
play free.
So next Sundays proposed
concert by the Air Forces Cere-
monial Band of Boiling Air Force
Base has been Cancelled. And
that goes in the future for the
Abderdeen MD Ordnance Band,
the Fort Meade I'd Army Band
and any others that have played
at Takoma Park this year.
With Mr.. Schwarz it is just
another incident in hundreds he
has participated in during his
40 years with the union. The
fight has been against the en-
croachment of service bands on
the union musicians dwindling
sources Of revenue, he said.
"There are five pages of regu-
lations covering the public APP
pearances Of service bands" said
Mr.. Schwarz. "They give per-
mission for concerts in connec-
ton with recruiting, public rail-
lies and parades. The union did
not make these rules, and fur
thermore is forbidden to ask the
Government to waive on them"
Baltimore Pays for Concerts.
He cited an alternative.
Baltimore appropriates $685.
900 a year for hiring bands for
such concerts in public parks.
In the District. people expect the
service bands to play these con-
certs. while professional musi-
clans 60 without work"
Mr.. Schwarz feels he gave
Mayor Miller a boost toward his
present Office. He wrote letter
Of recommendation when he de-
cided to run for the council.
"Under Georges leadership
Takoma Park was making a big
thing OF the band concerts
newspaper advertising. printed
cards and programs and throw
aways," Mr.. Schwarz said.
He added that the union has
no objection to a Marine Drum
and Bugle Corps program sched-
uled for September 5. The un-
ion is not competing in that
department.
