ForegO Baying
In a recent talk at the Sui
grave Club on the Lorton Re-
formatory, District Commits
sioner Karrick pointed out that
the melodious baying Of a blood
hound now virtually belongs to
fiction.
Modern dogs" he said, ''have
been trained as much as pos
sible to pursue in silence so that
the note of their bay will not
warn the fugitive or brighten the
lost child.
"Once the fugitive or the child
is found, a thoroughbred blood
hound - satisfied; he has
achieved his objective, which is
to find, not to MAIN and not to
attack"
One difficulty, Mr.. Karrick
said, is the dogs extreme az
liability and friendliness with the
object Of his pursuit, who is
sometimes more able to "effec-
tuate his escape after making
friends with the dogs than be-
fore they have found him"

up in a mistrial today when a
juror was reported to have said
during deliberations, Nov we
all have read the papers 1
mean before the beginning Of
the trial. I know why Lee was
granted a new trial"
Under the rules, which are al
ways explained to jurors, they
must consider only the evidence
and the testimony as unfolded
during the trial.
The juror involved is Albert B.
Crosswait, So. of 1904 Thirty

Judge Informed
The foreman of the jury, Au-
gust L. Bernhard, jr., reported
in a letter to the trial judge,
F. Dickinson Let's, today in
United States District Court the
alleged statement by Mr.. Cross
wait.
Judge Let's called the jury
before him and questioned Mr..
Crosswait. The latter denied
he had made the comments in
the manner reported. But six
other jurors said they had heard
him.
Judge Let's told Mr.. Cross
wait: you have deliberately
disregarded the instruction Of
the court" Then the Judge, ex-
cusing Mr.. Crosswait from fur
ther service this term, declared
"a miStrial.
Will Be Tried Again
Lee will be tried again, accord
ing to Government attorneys. It
will mark the third time he is
to be tried on the assault count.
The charge stems from the
shooting Of Lees former ,associ-
ate in moonshining operations,
Walter M. Pickett, IS. Both
Pickett and Lee were found
wounded in parked car in jan
|uary, 1855. An earlier conviction
of Lee on the assault charge was
set aside by the United States

wounded last night as he started
to comply with the demand of

able to give. police learned that
he was behind the counter read
ing q newspaper when a man
walked in, showing a revolver.
The bandit ordered the VIC
tim to bend down and lie on
the floor" and fired one shot as
IMr. Borenstein started to COM
ply. Almost Immediately, a Sec
ond man rushed into the
store, saying Come on, let's CO."
The armed man opened the
cash register, picked up the
money and both fed.
The victim. shot through the
neck and arm, made his way to
a stairway at the rear of the
store and called to his wife.
