In 'Ducknopinq' at Pond

Three alleged "ducknapers"
were seized by Prince Georges
County police early today-one
repeatedly caught stripped to
his water-soaked underwear as
he emerged from a pond with
part Of his loot.
Police said the youths, all
from Silver Spring, had four
ducks locked in the trunk of
their car when police arrived
at 4 am. in answer to a report
OF disorderly juveniles at the
pond off University lane near
Colesville road, University Hills.
Confronted by police, the
youths made a vain attempt to
find their car keys. After a
futile search police called for a
crane.
One of the youths then found
the keys where one patrolman
said he had searched thor
oughly only minutes before.
I'VE opened the trunk and
found the ducks had gone to
sleep in the darkness" said
Police Pvt. c. P. Peterson.
They seemed all right, so we
put them back in the pond. +"
he said.
"The boys couldn't give us
any motive other than they just
wanted to pull a prank" he
added.
The youths, each charged
with petty larceny, were identi-
fled as William J. Morehouse,
10. of the 200 block of Glen
Ross road; Richard f. Rael. 20,
of the 400 block of Fenwick
lane, and Alan R. Lamb, 10, Of
the $500 block of Hardy ave-
nue.. All are students.
After posting 500 bond
pending a court hearing AL
gust "a. the youths ran into
more trouble when they tried
to reclaim their car, which by
then had been towed to Little
Auto Body, 9205 Baltimore ave-
nue., College Park.
While trying to awaken a
service man, they repeatedly
banged on the garage door so
hard they broke a pane of
glass. A resident next door
heard the commotion and
called police.

Holt. 20, jumped into the water
after the boys body, said

After George was pronounced

pm, police took a photograph
of the body and made a can
vass of the area until they
found someone who recognized
him. 1t finally led to his home
where positive identification
was made by neighbors and his
family about $50 pm.
Pvt. Dement, said two of the
other boys. Thomas Sentelle,
so West University boulevard,
and Dixon Hall. 201 Grandville

A proposal to defend in
digents here under a lawyer
internship program, utilizing
graduate law interns as defense
attorneys, evoked mixed reac-
tons from three different
quarters in Municipal Court
today.
A top spokesman for the
judiciary coupled serious reser-
vations with general optimism
over the plan. A United States
attorney said he liked the idea
but doubted its workability.
Court-appointed defense at
torneys condemned the pro-
posal unanimously.
The program. suggested last
week end by United States At
torney Oliver Gasch, would
have recent graduates of law
schools across the country use
the District courts as '1abora-
tories" to gain practical trial
experience while counseling
defendants who can't afford
regular lawyers.
Supervision of Interns
The interns would be men,
bers of the District bar or a
comparable bar and would be
supervised in their court room

graduate law schools at George

sion of a two-day hearing in
which Basiliko tried to regain
possession of a 20,000-square-
foot tract in Dupont Heights,
Md, area which he had decided
to Mr.. Hersch for $4,000.
Basiliko had commended the
transaction really was a loan
with the property as security.
Judge Marbury held. however.
that it was an outright sale.
Repurchase Pact Claimed
Through his attorney. Leon
ard C. Collins. Basiliko re-
ported he had agreed to buy
back the property seven
months later for $12.500.
When Basiliko failed to take
up the option Mr.. Hersch had
the property rezoned for COM
mercial use which. the court
was told, increased its value to
$4,000. Attorney William E.
Brooke said Mr.. Hersch had
thought the property was al
ready rezoned when he &C
cepted the deed, found it
wasn't, and then spent $500
in legal fees getting it done.
Basiliko's attorney argued
that the real estate operator
should be allowed to buy back
the land for the $4,000, plus
the money spent for the re-
coming. He asked that the deed
be declared a mortgage.
1t was testified during the
hearing that Basiliko's name
was kept off the resale contract
by using a straw party" to
transact the deal to avoid link
ing it with Basiliko, then under
indictment for fraud against
the Maryland State Roads
Commission for a land acquisi-
ton case Involving Route 240
in Montgomery County.
Judge Marbury dismissed
the plea, with a comment that
''it is an unacceptable conclu-
sion that Mr.. Basiliko did not
honestly and fairly disclose
the status Of the property"
In the road speculation case
Basiliko pleaded guilty in May,
1857, to a charge of conspiracy
to defraud the State and was
fined $4,000. He earlier had
been given a two-year Jail
sentence after being convicted
