Bethesda Youth
Held in 14Fires
And Stabbing
l6-Yenr-OId Seized
In Woods as Flames
Hit Nearby House

Montgomery County police to-
day arrested a 16-year-old Wal
ter Johnson High School junior
as the arsonist who set IA fires
in the Bethesda area and stabbed
another boy in HOUSEKEEPING
attempt.
The husky youth. stepson of
q doctor and a member of the
school chorus. was seized in the
woods at 2 am. today near a
$4,000 blaze which swept <the
home of Mrs. Virginia w. Cha
pelle at 5705 Glenwood road,
Wyngate.
The boy. who lives not far
away in Georgetown Village, is
being held for action of Juvenile
Court.
County Police Supt. James S.
McAuliffe declared. "as a result
of our investigation. we feel we
can safely close out the knife
case and the majority of the
fires" The fires, set in 8 homes
and six business places in the
Wyngate and Woodmont Tri-
angle sections, totalled more
than $4,000 in damage.
The arrest climaxed six-week
search. during which police
blanketed the area at night with
foot-patrolmen carrying walkie-
talkie radios and cruising radio
patrol cars in an effort to catch
the arsonist. The search intensi-
fed 10 days ago when William
B. Moriarty. Is. of 770l Newman
ket drive. Bethesda. was stabbed
when he walked into a darkened
room of the home of Mary L.
Knebel, Is. at $500 Sonoma road
as the couple returned from a
dance.
Victim Still in Hospital
The prowler lsaped at them
without word. police said,
knocked the girl down, and
stabbed young Moriarty twice.
William is still under treatment
at Suburban Hospital. Police
said purse. stolen from the
home, was recovered later from
a storm sewer.
Chief McAuliffe said a 4-incn-
blade Bowie knife taken from
the suspect today was the knife
used to stab the Moriafty boy.
juvenile Court Judge Alfred
D. Noyes said the boy is being
held in the juvenile detention
quarters at Rockville. He said
these steps will be taken:
First, there viii be a full re-
port by police and an investiga-
ton by Juvenile Court. A psy-
chiatric examination IDLY
will be made of the boy. Then,
Judge Noyes said, it will be de-
cided whether to waive Juvenile
Court jurisdiction. which can be
done in the case of felony. to
give jurisdiction to the Circuit
Court.
If jurisdiction is not waived.
legal proceedings will be on the
basis of a petition against the
boy as juvenile delinquent.
Pattern Noticed
The series of fires broke out
about 10 weeks ago. AS the num-
Der Of cases grew. police in
creased their patrolling of the
area. They noticed a definite
pattern: Always they happened
at night; each time the arsonist
was believed to have escaped
through the woods ringing the
area.
AS each fire occurred, Chief

have spent hundreds Of hours
of valuable time trying to keep
the Nations Capital beautiful
and a decent place in which TO
live.
THE members Of Congress
who have served on the House
District Committee with me
have given their valuable time.
and I believe that our efforts
are generally appreciated by
our constituents and the people
throughout the United States.
Il fully realize that we do
not receive very many thanks
from people who are privileged
to reside here in the city Of
Washington; however, this is
the Nations Capital and our
interests should be directed
toward keeping the city Of
Washington a decent place for
our constituents to visit.
The Constitution Of the
United States places this re-
sponsibility directly upon the
shoulders of the members of
Congress and I am happy that
I have been able to be of some
assistance in writing legisla-
ton and providing tools for
the appointed District officials
to properly protect our Nations
Capital"
