Young Affacker
Must Die,
Jury Decides
Sentencing Set
For Tuesday for
Assault on Women

A jury late yesterday rec
commended the death penalty in
convicting a. 20-year-old youth
|of raping a 38-year-old married
woman in April, 1854. in the
basement of q building where
she lived in the 1900 block of
Twelfth street NV.
The defendant is Andrew r.
Mallory, colored, who was 10 at
the time of the attack. At the
time, he lived in the janitor,s
quarters Of the building where
the victim, who is white. lived.
The jury in the United States
District Court for the District Of
Columbia deliberated about 4z
hours in reaching its verdict.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff, who
presided at the trial. announced
he will sentence Mallory next
Tuesday.
First in Years
The death penalty was the
first recommended here by a
jury In several years in q rape
case. The maximum penalty
for rape without the recon-
mended death penalty is 10 to
80 years Imprisonment.
Shortly before returning its
verdict the jury had sent Judge
Holtzoff note asking If it could
be assured that Mallory would
receive life imprisonment If the
panel failed to recommend
death. The jury resumed Its
deliberations after Judge Holtz-
of explained the maximum pen
atty. without the death recon-
|mendation, is 10 to 80 years.
After the jury returned its
verdict Judge Holtzoff told the
|'aanel:
"This has been a difficult case.
You have had a heavy responsi-
bility, but that is part of the
administration Of justice" !"
According to trial testimony,
the woman victim was using a
washing machine in the base
ment when Mallory grappled
with her and attacked her.
Insanity Issue Raised
Defense counsel contended
Mallory was OF unsound mind
at the time of the attack. Two
|psychiatrists examined Mallory
about four months after the at
tack and reported he was OF
unsound mind when they ex-
amined him.
One of them testified at the
trial he also believed Mallory
was of unsound mind at the time
of the attack. The other was
quoted as not having an opinion
as to the defendants condition
at the time of the attack.
Other psychiatrists, who ex-
amined Mallory later, expressed
the view he was of sound mind
at the time of their examina-
tions. Mallory never was ad-
Judged in cn1frt tn he 0f t1nSolInd
mind. Before his trial. however.
he was adjudged, at a court
hearing. to be mentally compe-
tent to stand trial.
Police testified, at the trial,
that Mallory appeared to be OF
sound mind when they ques-
toned him about the crime.
Mallory was prosecuted by As
sistant United States Attorney
Arthur j. Mclaughlin.

On approaching the Maryland
State Reformatory for Women,
at Jessups. Md, one might
imagine he is entering the
campus of a high-grade country
school.
The modern brick buildings
are attractive and neatly
grouped. There are trees and
shrubs and a convenient place to
park the car.
There is just one forbidding
sight. This is a series of small
signs which warn:
"No visitors beyond this point. I"
You quickly get the idea. Out
siders are not welcome.
1t develops, however, that
these are one-Way signs. They
do not caution inmates against
going outside.
No Armed Guards
The women's reformatory is
what peneloglsts call an open
system institution" 1t has no
fence at the boundary. No
armed guards stand around the
premises.
This is the reformatory from
which Marion Janice Moseley
took her leave yesterday.
The 16-year-old child bride
had been serving a sentence be-
cause she strangled to death
her helpless 6-year-old half
sister
Although a murderer and the
victim of occasional mental dis
turbances, Marion enjoyed as
much freedom as most of the
179 females detained at Jessups
for lesser violations of the law.
"You just can't lock a girl
like that in a cell and get any
where with her." explained
Harold E. Donnell, superintend-
ent Of Maryland prisons.
After breakfast yesterday
Marion walked with a group of
inmates from her dormitory
cottage" toward the reforma-
tory shop building. They were
assigned to sewing chores.
Go Unescorted
Miss Alice M. Blum, the super
intendent. said the inmates were
unescorted but supervisors

waited at the shop to check
them in.
Before the women covered the
300 yards between buildings,
Marion slipped out of line and
ran towards a wooded area. Sew
eral women tried vainly to catch
her. She vanished from sight.
Although wearing the yellow
garb of the penal institution,
she tagged a bus and eventually
made her way to a community
near Rockville. close to the scene
of the murder she committed last
November. There she was de-
tected and arrested.
Miss Blum said Marion is very
impressionable. The superin-
tendent surmised the girl de-
cided to flee because another in
mate escaped from the reforma-
tory last week.
But escapes are rare. the SUI
perintendent declared. Except
for Marion's and the one last
week. only one other inmate has
taken French leave in the past
year. The latter returned vol
UNFAIRLY the next morning.
Locked in at Night
Miss Blum said inmates are
locked in their rooms at night.
A woman officer - unarmed--
supervises the 40 or so prison
ers who occupy each cottage.
The outside doors are locked,
too. An armed watchman patrols
the grounds at night.
After her arrest Marion was
returned to Jessups, where she
was subjected to a psychiatry
examination. She will be taken
to court later on an escape
charge.
In the future, said Miss Blum
the girl will be surrounded with
greater protection.
Mr.. Donnell said some women
at the reformatory are kept UNI
der closer confinement than
Marion has been.
But in operating the open
system institution. Mr.. Donnell
said Maryland is doing what
practically all of the States" do
Anyway, he added, It's often
easier to deal with murderers
who committed their crimes on
impulse than with prisoners held
on lesser charges.

nothing at first. police said.
"She was either playing cat
and-mouse game with me or else
she could not concentrate enough
to recollect what happened" Po-
lice Supt. James S. McAuliffe
said, after questioning the girl,
Marion was given an in
definite sentence not to exceed
eight years, after a jury found
her to be legally sane. She had
garroted her half sister last
November 16 after an argument
with her stepmother.
Yesterday, when confronted by
her attorneys at the trial,
she said she did not know
either of them. They are Bar
nard r. Welsh, and Walter H.
Moorman.
After questioning the girl, Mr..
Welsh, a severe critic of Mary
lands sanity test, disgustedly
walked out, declaring:
And q Montgomery County

HAIPHONG, Free Zone OF
North Wet Nam.-Allied authori-
ties believe that Chinese Com
munists soon win be IN charge
Of this port, once the busiest
harbor between Hong Kong and
Singapore.
Under the Geneva agreements.
French and South Wet Namese
representatives must pull out Of
this area by May 10.
Geneva contemplated that the
area would go to the Red regime
of Ho Chi-minh. Technically, 1t
will.
There is abundant intelligence,
however. that Communist China
will send ''techniciaps" here to
assist" in the port operation.
In fact. they would direct port
operations. &
This would be in line with o
developing pattern Of Chinese
Communist infiltration into the
key economic life of North Wet
Nam. Already, the Chinese Reds
have taken control OF the rail-
roads, air routes and trucking
operations in the eras of North
