he said, this cannot be done until

this were done Sunday or Mon

mail the checks before the END

This would allow initial de-

he said. they cannot be mailed
before Tuesday, for delivery
Wednesday.
Normally, he declared. the
checks are mailed on the last

cause a minimum delay of five

Nine months of searching by
the District police and the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation
paid of yesterday when a rob-
berry suspect was arraigned be-
fore Municipal Court Judge Mil
dred E. Reeves and was held for
trial under $4,000 bond.
The suspect, Donald s.
Wormsley, colored. 28. Of the
HOO block Chapel Oaks drive.
Md. was arrested Friday night
hiding under a bed in the base
ment of a relatives home in the
200 block of E street NV, po-
lice reported.
The arrest was made by Pvt
William Slater of No. ! precinct
and an FBI agent who had
spotted Wormsley a few min
utes earlier while seeking him
for questioning about his draft
status. The agent had no war
rant, however, and called on
Pvt. Slater to help make the
arrest.
The robbery of which Wormsley
is accused took place last October
8 when two men held up the
Hillcrest Amoco service station

took 5000 at the point of a gun
from Paul Habig, 81, Of the

tured at the time by two de-
tectlves who happened on the
scene. Tolbert was convicted
and sentenced to prison from
three to 10 years. Although he
insisted he did not know his ac-
complice, a police check of his
friends indicated Wormsley had
not been seen near his home
since the night of the robbery.
I He was indicted by q grand
jury while absent and a police
check with the FBI disclosed
that agency was seeking him for
questioning on his draft status.

Time Not Set
The commission chairman said
a definite time for the face-to-
face meeting had not yet been
set. but he hopes to hold it this
week.
The identity of the accuser
has not been made public. All
that is known about him is that
he owns property alcng the
Montgomery County right-of-
way Of Route 240, also known
as the Washington National
Pike. a four-lane dual parkway
being constructed between Fred

Mr.. Mccain declined to dis

say, "it is very serious"

Police Appeal
Staying Iipster
Youth Who Phoned
After Girls Shooting
Urged to Come in

Police investigating the June
is double staying in Northwest
Branch Park last night made q
direct appeal to q youthful an
lonymous tipster.
Prince Georges County Police
Chief George Panagoulis urged
the tipster to make himself
known to the police. He gave
assurance that II the youth
wanted his identity protected,
the police would respect his
wish.
AThe tipster in whom police are
specifically interested at this
time called police the day after
the fatal shooting Of Nancy
IShomette, Is, and Michael Ann
Ryan. II.
Witnessed Firing
Without identifying himself,
he told police he had seen some
one standing beside a tree and
firing q rifle into the picnic grove
where the bullet-riddled bodies
Iof the two teen-agers were later
found. He said he heard q burst
Iof about 10 shots. then silence.
then another burst of shots.
The little information that he
gave tied in with the available
facts as well as with the various
theories being studied by police.
There was speculation that he
might even have seen the vic
Itims.
Chief Panagoulis said there
have been several other anony-
nous callers to whom police
would like to talk further. He
also expressed the belief that
several more people in the vi
|cinity Of the park heard shots or
saw something but have not come
forward.
"I urgently ask them to come
forward now," he said.
Quizzed 1.lOO
So far, the chief estimated,
police have talked with more
than 1.100 persons. How much
progress have they made?
"We're beginning to clear
away great mass of details and
|get down to the meat of the
case" commented one detective.
I'm that way, we're making
progress"
Detectives working closely on
the case believe the murder was
planned by someone who knew
one or both Of the girls. The only
alternative to this theory, they
believe. is the possibility that a
mentally deranged person shot
'oh a 20 rifle at the first persons
he saw coming down the path
into the picnic grove.
Chief Panagoulis was asked
last night II police were inves-
tigating the possibility that more
than one person was involved
in the killing-particularly in
view Of the few minutes the
killer had to shoot the girls,
carry one into q tficket and
partially cover the other with
twigs.
"A Person or Persons"
"We are looking for a person
or persons" was his answer.
The 17-day search for the
murder weapon centered yester-
day on q part of the thicket
1900 feet farther into the woods
than where Michael AIMS body
was found. The area had been
searched earlier, but three SOL
diers from Fort Meade went over
1t again with a mine detector.
They found nothing.
Detectives on the case, includ-
Ing a group from Washington
headed by 1t. Lawrence Hart
nett Of the Homicide Squad, got
together late yesterday to COM
pare notes and will continue
making what were described as
routine checks" today.
