AS for the parading with plac-
ards, she attributed that to the
frequency with which children
see picketing on the streets.
The move of the older soft
ball players was made because
balls were being hit into neigh
boring porches. 1t was decided
by recreation officials to let the
younger boys use the Congress
Heights field because they don't
hit the ball over the high fence.
Meanwhile, the field was sur
veyed to see whether higher
fences or a different layout
might solve the problem. since
neighborhood residents also
enjoy watching the games, Mrs.
Smith said.

layed passing sentence pending q
probation report. Herman faces
q maximum of 10 years in prison
and $4,000 fine. He said he

Mrs. Ravens. who has had

applauded when the verdict was
announced in an overflow court
room.
The Government had brought
in a dozen witnesses ito tell of
Herman's cross country ro-
mances.
Mrs. Ravens told her story
first, describing how she and
Herman had met at Palm
Beach auction gallery last jan
uary.
Soon they were planning mar
riage, she said, and Herman was
inducing her to sell her real
estate so they could begin a
honeymoon trip to the Mardi
Gras in New Orleans, Mexico and
Hawaii.
Another Woman.
The prosecution said he had
other ideas and produced wit
nesses who testified that Herman
was living in a one-bedrcom
cottage with a pretty brunette
divorce while he was wooing
Mrs. Ravens.
After leaving the four times
wed Mrs. Ravens. the Govern
ment said. Herman rejoined the
brunette in New York-carrying
with him Mrs. Ravens money
and gems.
Some $4,000 of the money
was recovered in safe deposit

head of Richmond. Calf, told q
story similar to that of Mrs.

$85 900 from her.
