Court 10 Hear
.BdsiIikO Appeal

ANNAPOLIS. Nov. 81 (P).-
Constas Gus Basiliko today
asked the court of appeals to
declare a mistrial in his con-
viction on charges of conspir-
ing to defraud the State Roads
Commission in Montgomery
County land deals.
His attorneys commended that
explosive publicity" in three
Washington newspapers and on
radio and television prevented
his getting a fair trial.
Basiliko was fined $1,000 and
sentenced to two years in the
house of correction on the con-
spiracy charges last March. Max
Gutenberg. who was convicted
with him and was fined $4,000,
did not appeal.
Basiliko's appeal hinged on the
filing of a bill of complaint dur
ing his trial by Chief Judge Sted-
man Prescott, now a judge on
the Court of Appeals, and Mrs.
Prescott. 1t alleged that Basiliko
and others tried to defraud the
Iiurist and his wife through the
purchase of land which was to
be resold to the State Roads
Commission at high profits.
Basiliko at the time was being
tried on other charges.
Prescott Disqualifies Self
Judge Prescott disqualified
himself from hearing today's
arguments. The Court of Ap-
pealS assigned Judge Reuben
Oppenheimer of Baltimore to sit
in his place.
Basiliko's attorney, Douglas N.
Sharretts. argued in briefs filed
with the high court that "the
immediate and explosive pub
llicity" given the Prescott COM
plant by the Washington press
and radio last March prejudiced
Basiliko's rights to a fair trial
and sealed his conviction.
Mr.. Sharretts moved for a mis-
trial on March IL and again on
March Is when an out-of court
settlement was made returning
the land to the Prescotts Both
motions were denied by Circuit
Judges Thomas M. Anderson and
Kathryn j. Lawlor, hearing the
case with a jury.
State Arguments
Mr.. Sharretts argued in the
high court that the judges did
not even instruct the jurors TO
disregard Judge Prescott's bill
Of complaint or the accounts
published in the three Washing
ton newspapers.
The State argued that the
trial court did not abuse its
discretion" in overruling the mo-
tons for a mistrial.
The State said that the news
accounts we're not "slanted and
distorted" and were actually
less infiammatory than the ac-
tual testimony in open court"
about the case on which Basiliko
was being tried.

From the Past
BY JACK JONAS

OF the OlSCer county GaZeLLe
Of Saturday, January 4, 1900,
published at Kingston (Ul-
ster County, by Samuel Freer
& Son"
The stories show the King
ston to be the one in New
York. Monty, publisher him
self Taxi Topix), isn't sure
whether the copy has any
value, but it does contain an
item Of more than passing
local interest-a story of
George Washington'S funeral.
The account, d atelined
George Town, Dec. TO-" shows
how one writer felt about the
departed Washington.
"On Wednesday last" he
wrote, "the mortal part of
WASHINGTON the Great
the father of his Country and
the Friend of man, was con-
signed to the tomb, with SOL
emn honors and funeral pomp.
"a multitude of persons
assembled for many miles
around, at Mount Vernon, the
choice abode and last resi-
dence of the illustrious chief.
There were the groves-the
spacious avenues, the beauti-
full and sublime scenes, the
noble manSion-but, alas! the
august inhabitant was now no
more. The great soul was
gone. His mortal part was
there indeed; but, ah! how
awful the spectacle of such
worth and greatness, thus, to
mortal eyes, fallen!-Yes!
fallen! fallen"
The Gazette printed a
poem, too, in Washington's
memory, by a Young Lady"
The last stanza went like this:
Weep! kindred mortals-
weep!-no more you'll find,
"a man SO just, so pure, so
firm in mind;
Rejoicing Angels, hail the
heavenly Sage
Celestial Spirits greet the
wonder of the AGE!"
Miffed
A father who attended a
recent Parents Visiting Day
at Carroll Highlands School
reports he was intrigued by
an exhibit of the results of
an aSSignment-"What My
Father Does at Work."
One boy, who wrote that
his father was a Govern
ment worker, included a
picture he'd drawn, showing
his father seated with his
feet on a desk and putting
on a fat cigar.
But the one that said a
lot in a few words was this
one submitted by one of the
girls:
my father works for the
Riggs National Bank. He
comes home late every
night. l don't like it,"
Educution
A fellow who called a down.
town business Office reports
he had to wait a couple of
minutes for the party he
wanted to come to the phone.
While he was waiting, he
overheard a woman'S voice
making a detailed explana-
ton to a messenger what he
was supposed to do.
Now get 1t right" the voice
said. This is not like the
State Of Maine. It's the Main
Navy Building-M-a-n-e. -"
Honesty
A couple of bucks must
look awfully tempting to a
fellow who's driven his hack
around for two hours with
out picking up a fare.
Mrs. Sophie WecksIer of
1913 LOngfelIOw street NV.
told the story. She and Mrs.
Molly POllack took a cab to
a meeting of the Abraham
Raisin Lady's Culture Club
on Thirteenth street.
After they'd left the taxi
and gone inside, Mrs. Pol
lack realized she'd lost So in
the cab. Both thought it
was gone forever.
But two hours later, John
Hansen, driver Of Harlem
Cab 30, was at the door,
returning the money.
Mr.. Hansen told them
he'd just found the money
and hadn't picked up any
fares since he'd let the
ladies out, so knew 1t must
belong to them.

If the former Grace Kelly
wants any lessons on how to
play the role Of Her Serene
HighnesS, I've found just the
person for her to understudy.
Princess Georgine of Liech-
tenstein, and her husband
Prince Franz Joseph, who rules
over the $4,000 subjects of the
little principally snuggled be-
tween Austria and Switzerland
are in Washington for a 10
day unofficial visit.
Yesterday, Capital society
had a chance to meet them at
the Ed Foleys' annual spring
garden party.
Princess Georgine, a statu-
esque blond beauty. who was a
former Viennese Countess. has
the dignity and regal manner
one expects in royalty.
But she has more. Even
while meeting hundreds of
strange people, she managed
to convey warmth and I'M
pretentiousness W hich was
completely disarming.
The Foleys' guests from
diplomatic circles followed the
European tradition on being
presented to Their Serene
Highnesses-curtsies from the
ladies and bows from the
gentlemen. The American
guests. however, merely shook
hands.
For their first trip to
America, the Prince and
Princess have planned seven
week trip throughout the
States. They are stopping
here at the Sheraton Carlton
Hotel and plans are already
afoot by various leading Wash
ington hostesses to entertain
for them.

wealthiest men in Europe.

art collection on the continent.
