Prince Georges Praised
For Fight on Gamblers

Prince Georges law enforce
ment authorities today had the
commentator of a Circuit
Court judge for making it clear
the county does not welcome
gamblers.
The commentator was given
by Judge John R. Fletcher who,
with Judge Charles C. Marbury,
presided yesterday at the open
ing of the county's April term
of the Circuit Court.
1T is a compliment to the
citizens of the county who have
let 1t be known that they view
illegal activities with disfavor
as well as to the law en-
forcement authorities" Judge
Fletcher said in charging the
new grand jury headed by Ben
jamin M. Bolinger of University
Park.
Judge Fletcher told the panel
Iof 20 men and three women
that the total of SO criminal
cases they would be called on
to consider is extremely light"
land indicates that there is no
serious crime wave in the
county.
OF the total, Judge Fletcher
said, three are homicide cases,
one manslaughter. IL aggra-
waited assault. six robberies,
three forgeries and the others
are of less serious nature.
Judge Fletcher said that the
small criminal docket could be
attributed partly to the fact
that the October grand jury was
called back to dispose of several
cases.
The court referred to reports
Iof offenses allegedly committed
by inmates of Boys Village at
ICheltenham which he said had
alarmed persons living in the
Ineighborhood.
Judge Fletcher suggested to
the grand jury that they divide
into committees to make more

one-year-old sister. Pamela.
The first he knew of the at
tack was the next morning when
he found the margay in the
nursery, and the infant lying in
a pool of blood.
The baby's condition still Is
regarded as serious. He is a pa
ltient at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Baltimore, where physicians said
Iosteomylitis has developed in the
limb below the knee.
One phase of the defense'S
case was the assertion that the
margay was bought from a pet
shop on the assumption it was
an ocelot. 1t was believed an
ocelot would not become wild
in maturity.
A witness was DR.. William
Mann, superintendent of the
Washington Zoo, who said the
margay is a Jungle cat" which
seldom attacks children unless
goaded.
Parents Criticized
( Magistrate Small, in passing
sentence, said he must rule the
parents had shown "wanton dis
regard for the welfare of their
children.
He said that in the first place
they knew the margay to be a
wild animal. He also recalled
that on March 4 the margay had
scratched the infant Thomas,
and Perry testified he was 'hor-
rif1ed" by that and had intended
to get rid of the animal, but
failed to do so.
The magistrate noted that
Perry. Winslow and a police Of
ficer all testified the margay had
the run of the house except for
the nursery. However, they also
testified the nursery door was
warped so that the catch would
not function, and the door could
be easily pushed open.
THE Perrys have suffered
severely in this case" the magis-
trate added. 1T is going to be
with them physically for a long
time"

judge was pronouncing sentence,
