Woman Pleads
Not Guilty in
Thefts

Mrs. Mary L. Sudduth pleaded
not guilty today to cheating
Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat
Hospital of $4,000 by raising
checks while she was It's chief
clerk.
District Judge Burnita Shell
ton Matthews set bond at 5000.
No trial date was assigned.
Mrs. ,Sudduth. Al. was indict-
ed by a grand jury yesterday
on II counts Of raising hospital
checks and II Of cashing them.
The indictment listed her adj
dress in the 1000 block Of South
wark terrace. College Heights
Estates, an exclusive Prince
Georges County community. But
the woman has moved from
there since an October audit re-
vealed the hospital shortage.
She wore black today at her
arraignment. including Persian
lamb coat. Her plea was pitched
in a voice so low spectators n
the courtroom could not hear
her.
She was accompanied by her
lawyer, Nicholas J. Chase.
Covers Four Year Period
The hospitals audit barred an
overall shortage OF $137. 400. be-
|Iieved 70 cover a four-year
period.
The United States attorneys
lofice said yesterday that Mrs.
Sudduth may have been involved
lin other manipulations. But
prosecutors picked out only the
strongest cases against her, they
said.
A hospital spokesman said to-
day Episcopal has already re.
gained $4,000 from q bonding
company and hopes to get more.
The Sudduth home In College
Heights Estates. valued close to
$50, 900. is for sale.
Charge Check Alterations
The Government contends Mrs.
Sudduth would send along a
check for a certain sum. In all
the cases returned by the grand
Jury the face amounts were for
$500. Then. the indictment al
legged, she would get the check
back, signed by a hospital offi-
cial, and she would raise the
$500 to between $4,000 and
$500 and send it via hospital
messenger to be cashed at q
bank.
The indictment did not charge
her specifically with embezzle-
ment, only forgery and uttering.
However, the Government con-
tends she pocketed the differ
ence between the checks original
vaIl,e and their raised amounts.
