looked like a stage set, and in
a brook so stocked with trout
you could see dozens Of them

Mr.. Eisenhower goes there
all the time, either straight
from Washington or over from
Camp. David which is only
about five miles away. Satur-
day he was accompanied by
George Allen and the ubiqui-
tous Maj. Gen. Howard Sny-
der plus the usual complement
of Secret Servicemen. The
President caught his quota of
five brook trout, but he ended
up with more because the
others were fishing, too.
Mr.. Eisenhower's visits are
unheralded and always well
come. The only difference be-
tween his visits and anybody
else's is that the Secret Serv-
ice quietly check on any other
guests who happen to be pres
ent.
When he's there for a meal
he lunches with his hosts in

A combination Of rural
charm and the sporty motif of
the horsey set was the design
for the Potomac Hunt Horse
Show, beginning at $3.50 am.
yesterday at the hunts ken
nels near Potomac, Md.
Although horses inevitably
are the main attraction, many
spectators we're drawn away
from the show ring by q coun-
try fair adjoining the equine
department. Booths were set
up, with a carnival-like
atmosphere. by many local
merchants and civic groups.
The Potomac Pony Club, one
Of the most active of all or

Montgomery County horse
country, not only had its own
display but also supervised
pony rides for pint-sized
spectators.

Emelius Sonny" Mackey, un-

killed instantly about 8 o'clock
last Friday night when a COM

he was driving from Jacksonville
to Miami plunged into a canal
near Titusville. Mackey was dead
when rescuers pulled his b o d y
from the Canal.
Mackey, well known in Miami
where he lived for number of
years before returning to his
home in Nassau, was recently in
the process of establishing a well
appointed funeral home in Mas

sau. The home was located on
Devoe ST., and was to be known
as the House of Mackey."
Mackey had also purchased the
new hearse for use in his BUSH

to receive it for delivery to Mas

to the u. S. Guided Missile Base

Miss Hough Faces Trial For Her Life,
Sonity Weighed in Abdushe|i Ki|Iino

The Government will recon.
mend indictment for irst-degret
murder when the case of Edith
Louise Hough goes to the grand
jury this week, the prosecutors
indicated last night.
The 4l-year-old blond is being
held without bond in the Memo
rial Day shooting at the Wood
ner Hotel Of her former fiance
zurab Abdusheli. a Voice Of
America translator.
1T looks like a first-degree
murder case to me-" said Assist
ant United States Attorney John
c. Conliff, jr. by her own adj
mission, she shot him In the
head to put him out of his mis-
cry after he had already been
shot several times.
Nobody has the right to kill
to ease pain.
Such an admission indicates
uellperation and premeditation-
the elements OF first-degree MUIR
der"
Whether the daughter OF a
former District Medical Society
president would face immediate
trial II she is indicted depends to
some extent on what Govern
ment and defense psychiatrists
learn from examing her this
week.
The defense psychiatrist, Or.
Frank Caprio. visited Miss
Housh at District jan yesterday.

Defense Attorney John Doyl,
said he would probably question
her again. Mr.. Doyle would moi
comment on whether he will
start proceedings to have Mis-.
Hough formally examined to de.
termine her mental competence
to stand trial until after he get.
DR.. caprio's report.
The prosecution and the de.
Tense have different motives fol
having Miss Hough given men,
tai examinations at this time.
The Government wants to de-
termine her mental condition as
close as, possible to the time OF
the crime to rebut, II possible,
a defense Of insanity when the
case is tried. The Government
also wants to know her present
mental condition.
DR.. William Cushard, who has
testified as a phychiatrist in
private practice and at st.
Elizabeths Hospital in some of
the most notable criminal trials
here, is making the psychiatric
study at the prosecutors request.
DR.. Cushard has already ques-
toned Miss Hough once and
plans to make further tests.
The defense is interested in
determining how strong a case
can be made that Miss Hough
was suffering from a mental
disease at the time she fred six

defense is also concerned about
the psychiatrist's view Of Mis-.
Hough's competence to stanc
trial at this time.
In order to go through the
formal proceedings to determine
whether Miss Hough is mentally
incompetent, her attorneys would
have to present enough evidence
to a District Court judge to con.
vince him.
II the Judge ordered a mental
examination, she would then be
committed to a hospital for thi;
examination. II the hospital re.
ported her mentally incom.
petent, she would be committed
to st. Elizabeths Hospital until
she was pronounced competent
to stand trial.
Mr.. Doyle did not indicate
what line Of defense he visual
lied. He would say only that he
Is doing everything possible to
develop the facts" He added
that he would have no comment
until he gets the entire history
and background Of the principals
In the case.
The police also indicated they
are still digging for facts. 1t.
Lawrence Hartnett of the Homi-
eide Squad said police are still
collecting evidence and taking
statements.

Gambling Ship
10 Defy Attack
Will Open on 4th
Despite Protests

The owner Of q new Potomac
River amusement beach said
yesterday he intends to open on
the Fourth Of July week end
despite attacks by the Governors
Of Maryland and Virginia on his
plan to operate a gambling ca
sino and bar on a ship.
And DR.. A. ]. Ferlazzo, the
Prince William County (va)
supervisor in whose district the
new amusement beach is to be
located. defended 1t as "providr
ing much-needed recreation ia
Icilities" for his county.
$l4,OOO,00O Project
j. Carl Hill, Arlington attor-
Iney who heads the corporation
owning the recreation area. said
his group is investing $l4 million
IN the amusement park and
beach on sos acres at Freestone
Point. Va.
Some Of that money went to
buy the 220-foot river boat Toll
chester on which Mr.. Hill and
his associates plan to operate
slot machines and sell mixed
drinks. both illegal in Virginia.
But the Colchester is moored out
In the Potomac, which is Mary
land-owned up to the Virginia
shore.
The section Of the river OF
Freestone Point is therefore in
Charles County. one Of four
Southern Maryland counties
where slot machines are legal.
The Charles County Liquor
Board has approved a liquor
license for the boat. but its &C.
tual issuance is awaiting q rou-
tine health and sanitation in
spection.
Mr.. Hill has not applied for
any slot machine permits. but
Mary A. Gardner, Charles Coun-
ty slot machine clerk, has said
that operators Of the ship told
her they planned to seek licenses
for 200 machines.
Asks Ban on Permits
Gov. McKeldin of Maryland
and Gov. Stanley of Virginia
have attacked the floating bar
and casino idea.
DR.. Ferlazzo said he believes
that Gov. McKeldin and Gov.
Stanley have been misinformed
about the project by two or
three people in the Manassas
area. 20 miles away from Free
stone Point"
DR.. Ferlazzo said he did not
particularly favor the proposed
floating casino and bar. but is
willing to go along with 1t in
order to get the other recrea-
tional facilities for his county.
Emphasizing that he had no
pecuniary interest in the devel-
opment. DR.. Ferlazzo said he
hopes the boat can be disposed
of in two or three years. perhaps
as a result Of Maryland chang
ing its laws"
