Later Judge Holtzoff re-
ceived a telephone call from
James v. Bennett. director of
the Federal Bureau Of Prisons,
who reminded the judge that
Bostic still had the death sen.

Truman Acts
The Judge recommended
Communication Of the sentence
to life imprisonment and in
April. 1861, President Truman
followed the judges recon-
Inendation. Bostic was trans
ferred to the Federal Peniten-
tiary. at Atlanta.
But recently Bostic got the
idea-at a lawyers suggestion
that he might be able to get
a new trial. The lawyer claimed
Bostic was mentally III when he
was tried in 1887. and was
unable to assist his lawyer or
understand the charges against
him.
The Washington attorneys
handling this request said they
would present testimony Of
psychiatrists from among those
who testified at the 1910
lunacy hearing to support this
claim.
Judge Holtzoff said, "Ob-
yiously it is well nigh impos-
sible to determine the extent
Of a persons understanding on
a particular day over "a years
ago."
The judge recalled that dur

lawyer never complained Bostic

Engineering could continue to
operate.
In his report, Mr.. Maher
listed liabilities Of close to 50
million. The company had listed
assets Of more than 81, 900, 900,
but Mr.. Maher questioned
whether about $500,0O0 Of this
could actually be listed as
assets.
In Business 50 Years
The Standard Engineering
Co. has been in operation here
since 1911 and developed into q
multimillion-doIlar enterprise
largely through work contracts
on public buildings in different
parts Of the country.
However. Mr.. Maher reported
to the court that. when he took
over to attempt a reorganiza-
ton early last month, he found
only about $4,000 in working
capital on hand with which to
meet payrolls Of about $4,000
a week for the company's ap-
proximately $50 employees.
Mr.. Maher pulled the firm
out Of Is Jobs then underway,
reducing the number Of en-
ployes to two.
He discovered that the firm,
which has its office at 2l29 ]
street NV, had been suffering
q financial loss Of about $27, 600
each year for the last 10 years,
He also reported, after an ex-
animation Of company records,
that there had not been a
proper inventory Of the COM
pany's assets for about 10 years
until 1858.
AIS Creditors Listed
In his report to the court,
Mr.. Maher noted that the COM
pany had q SO million contract
for work performed on the new
State Department Annex here.
The company reported that
1t is due $258,0O0 in added costs
resulting from changes in plans
of the building by the Govern
ment. This money, according
to Mr.. Maher. was listed as q
company asset, as was about
s300.0O0 in additional cost the
company has claimed for work
on the Fairfax Hospital.
However, Mr.. Maher has
estimated that the company
will be lucky to collect as much
as so per cent Of this money,
adding that the hospital has
offered to settle for $50, 900.
He reported that the COM
pany has about 425 creditors,
and he estimates that q mini
mum Of s40O. 900 is due them.
With the consent judgment
signed yesterday by Judge Mat
thews, Mr.. Maher saic, his
work is almost completed. He
added that the remaining task
is for o meeting Of creditors
tentatively scheduled for April
1S-to elect a trustee and liqui-
date the remaining company
assets In an effort to pay off
at least part Of the debts.
The firm has been headed
for the last is years by Frank

owner Of the 500 shares Of

before his death sentence was

March. 1897.
Affirmed on Appeal
The case then was appealed
to the United States Court Of
Appeals. which affirmed the
conviction in December, 1887.
The Supreme Court refused to

He estimated it was being
carried by about 80-mile-an-

Predictions of occasional rair
on part of the course of the
cloud could bring some of the
debris to earth. Mr.. List said.
