FenneU Gets
I8-Year Term
For Murder

Reafus Fennell, 43, of Wash
ington, who was convicted of
second degree murder in Circuit
Court, was sentenced Wednes-
day to the maximum of 18 years
by Judge Katheryn j. Lawlor
Shook.
In sentencing Fennell, Judge
Shook said he had been "ably
represented" by legal counsel
and that the jury had the choice
of first-degree murder, second
degree murder or manslaughter.
After listening to all the evil
dence, she said, the Court felt
that it was murder in the first
degree-but that it was not up
to the Court to decide.
Fennell was found guilty of
shooting his common-law wife
after an argument earlier this
year. He claimed the shooting
occurred accidentally in a
struggle over its possession, but
failed to make clear how it had
gone off three times.

Officials Agree
Tax Relief Could
Spur New Shelters
Congressman
And Council
Discuss Matters

Agreement that some
sort of tax incentive would
spur individual homeowners
and business firms to build
the civil defense shelters
urged by President Kennedy
was reached between members
of the County Council and
Eight District Congressman
Charles Nice. Matthias in an in.
formal meeting this week.
Council members recalled that
a bill for tax exemptions for
construction of air raid shelters
In Maryland failed OF enactment
In a recent session of the legis-
lature in Annapolis.
Both they and Mr.. Matthias
agreed, however, that recon-
sideration of such a measure
might be timely in the present
state Of international tension.
Asked later whether he would
sponsor legislation along this
line in the Congress, Mr.. Ma.
thias said he will review the
situation and see where we
stand In the matter. HE ex-
planned the question of states
rights may be involved in any
federal legislation.
All agreed a strong federal
policy in civil defense is needed
now.

with Mr.. Matthias for luncheon
In his office to discuss matters
Of mutual interest"
Also in the delegation were

were the bill to continue school

tribution will entitle the giver
to have his name on a seat in

after his arrest that he had
pushed Mrs. Fairfax on bed
during a quarrel when she re-
turned home in the wee hours
of a night out last week.
"If that killed her, that's the
breaks" Fairfax was quoted as
saying.
