By Scherzer Bernstein

Elizabeth “Liz” Layton, a regular park-goer with her canine companion PG,
has died, friends and her son said. There had been no indication of illness
and she apparently passed quietly in her home on Friday.

Liz was familiar to the 7:30 a.m. crowd with Mary Farran, the mayor of
Lincoln Park. Liz charmed the crowd with her irascible Kentucky
personality, hearty laugh and demonstrative Southern cadence in her voice.
A retired federal worker, Liz typically arrived with The Washington Post
flapping in the wind and PG pulling her along.

Born in the rural town of Livia, Kentucky, Liz retired from government
service in 2005 and became active in charities and in her church, St.
Mark’s Episcopal Church on Capitol Hill. Fluent in Russian, she taught the
language to interested students and through Capitol Hill Village. She loved
traveling and most recently returned from a cruise on the Adriatic.

Beginning in 1972, Liz worked for 33 years at the Library of Congress as a
senior acquisitions librarian responsible for the acquisition, by gift,
exchange or purchase, of the press output of all countries of Central
Europe and/or Central Asia and of South Africa, according to Liz’s
Linkedin. Liz negotiated with and maintained relations with libraries and
other institutions and with book dealers in these parts of the world. She
also selected materials to be added to collections and for entry into the
library’s catalogs.

She volunteered at the National Herbarium

where she translated descriptions
<https://substack.com/redirect/af4731c4-a292-4609-8d7d-6495c31be8bd?j=eyJ1IjoiYWM1anoifQ.A72WKS7m9CBG6g6f0Dw5OflmI__R_nJrRolqBnT9ACM>
of Siberian horticultural specimens, acquired on exchange from the Siberian
Academy of Sciences, from Russian into English. She entered this
information into the USDA’s database.

At
St. Mark’s, Liz was a member of the Altar Guild, a verger (supervisor of
altar servers), a participant in the women's class and worshipper at
Morning Prayer. Photo from St. Mark’s.

Liz also worked as a gardener in Fern Valley at the US National Arboretum,
where she also volunteered in the Native Plant Collection, planting,
weeding, pruning, mulching, whatever was needed to maintain the collection
in good order.

At the Samaritan Ministry of Greater Washington, she helped people write
resumes. Liz was quite the Renaissance woman. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa
with a bachelor’s degree in applied science from the University of Kentucky
with a specialty in Russian area studies. At Indiana University, she
studied for a master’s in Russian and Czech language in literature.

She taught tai chi to passersby in the park and had detailed knowledge in
esoteric librarian materials. She often joked – but it was true – that she
was an intern at the Folger Shakespeare Library.

LIZ
ON FACEBOOK.

Since 2013, she had assisted in the Rare Books division at the Folger by
collating 17th century works published in Flanders for inclusion in the
STCV, according to Liz’s Linkedin. (What on earth is the STCV? Well, as it
has been explained to me, the SCTV is the Short Title Catalogue Flanders, a
database that records the use of “u” in title words, even when modern
orthography would replace the “v”; with “u”;. This is useful for studying
17th-century Flemish book titles.) V’s and u’s. Who knew?

At St. Mark’s Episcopal, she was a member of the altar guild. In 1984, Liz
gave St. Mark’s a photograph of an icon of Our Lady of Tikhvin. The photo
can be seen above the stone credence shelf to the right of the high altar.
Liz donated it when the St. Mark’s Peace Committee was attempting to
establish a relationship with a Russian Orthodox church in Moscow; the
effort was not successful.

Ping, ping, ping. The crime alerts rang through cell phones on Monday
morning as a three gunmen staged string of armed robberies across Capitol
Hill.

Denise Krepp, a former Capitol Hill Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner,
said her phone was blowing up with notifications. "We hit three, went to
get a cup of coffee, got to four, ya know," Krepp told Channel 9 news.
<https://substack.com/redirect/7fb922bb-36ce-4f11-885c-b19f724a756d?j=eyJ1IjoiYWM1anoifQ.A72WKS7m9CBG6g6f0Dw5OflmI__R_nJrRolqBnT9ACM>

Now, the Metropolitan Police Department is asking for the community’s
assistance in locating suspects and a vehicle involved in robbery offenses
that occurred on Monday, December 2, 2024.

Here is a summary of the robberies from police reports and a news release:

   -

   The victims, residents of Byron, Michigan, report that they were
   attempting to enter their vehicle when three men exited a gray sedan and
   approached them near F and 10th Streets NE.. The robbers were armed with
   dark-colored handguns and demanded the victims wallets and a purse that
   contained $600 in cash.

   -

   At 6:30 a.m., three crooks approached a victim as he was walking
   westbound on K Street NW, when one robber barked, “Give me your wallet.”

   The victim ignored the robber’s demand and kept walking when a second
   robber grabbed him and forced his hands into his left pocket for his
   wallet. The victim said he quickly reacted by grabbing the robber and
   pushing him away before all three suspects walked away in the opposite
   direction.

   The victim said he continued his journey to his place of work and
   contacted his father about the robber. His father advised him to report the
   robbery to the police. Because he resisted the crooks, the victim did not
   lose any property in the attempted robbery.

   -

   Lincoln Park area residents reported that while walking north on 14th
   St. SE, they turned left onto the 1300 block of East Capitol St. SE at the
   southwest corner.

   As they passed the church, three men approached them from behind. One
   man, armed with a black semi-automatic handgun, pointed it at a victim’s
   head, demanding, "Give us your stuff! Give us your phone code!" The
   suspects patted down the victims, stealing two iPhone 14s.

   The robbers then ordered the victims to walk west on East Capitol toward
   13th St. and to "cross the street.”

   -

   The victim, a worker who resides in Virginia, reported that three men
   approached him while he was seated in his work vehicle on December 2 at 7
   a.m. and took his wallet and cell phone while brandishing a black handgun,
   pointed it at him and searching his personal bag.

   The three suspects fled the scene on foot traveling southbound on the
   1800 block of Burke Street SE and into the left alley.

   While leaving his apartment at 7:30 a.m., a resident of I Street NE was
   approached by three robbers and placed in a chokehold, and was then punched
   and kicked in his head and hands. The robbers then stole his wallet and his
   phone before running to a small red vehicle that was double parked in the
   street. The victim found his phone a block away from the scene shortly
   thereafter.

   -

   The victim reports that he was walking on the sidewalk in front of the
   600 block of D Street NE when the robber approached him armed with a black
   semi-automatic handgun and stated "Give me your wallet and cellphone or
   I'll kill you!"

   The robber fled the scene on foot and dropped the cellphone, which was
   recovered by the victim near the event location.

   -

   A Capitol Hill resident said that while walking west in the 600 block of
   Constitution Ave NE, a maroon red, four-door Lexus sedan with unknown
   Maryland tags stopped suddenly. S-1 got out from the front passenger seat
   and displayed a black semi-automatic pistol.

   The gunman said, "Give me everything," and the victim handed over a
   MacBook and other items, and the gunman and got back into the vehicle,
   which was last seen east in the 600 block of Constitution Ave NE.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? WERE THEY LINKED TO THE ROBBERY SPREE ON MONDAY?

Hill staffer among 12 people whom police say armed men targeted in seven

D.C.
police are looking for this vehicle they believe was used in some of a
series of robberies that occurred Monday in and around the Capitol Hill
area. (D.C. police)
Excerpted from The Washington Post

Among the victims of the crime spree was a congressional staffer from Texas
robbed near Stanton Park as he walked to work, The Washington Post reported.
<https://substack.com/redirect/7834de07-c5b2-4d0a-bcfa-14bc194d01b1?j=eyJ1IjoiYWM1anoifQ.A72WKS7m9CBG6g6f0Dw5OflmI__R_nJrRolqBnT9ACM>

Brayden Woods, 26, the legislative director for Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX),
is one of several staffers and members of Congress targeted in robberies or
attacks in the District since early last year, when violent crime was
spiking
<https://substack.com/redirect/24ad5962-975a-4afe-af7b-97555e0eeb35?j=eyJ1IjoiYWM1anoifQ.A72WKS7m9CBG6g6f0Dw5OflmI__R_nJrRolqBnT9ACM>
.

Woods told the Post in a statement he thought he lived in a safe
neighborhood “due to the proximity of the Capitol” and “never imagined I
could become a victim of violent crime.”

Woods thanked the police who responded to the attack but said “it’s clear
that their hands are tied,” adding that he believes criminals are treated
“too leniently” in D.C., ultimately leaving “victims to fend for
themselves.”

He faulted city leaders for their handling of criminal justice issues and
said he understood why many of his friends “have chosen to leave the
District and move to Virginia.”

In a statement, Rep. Van Duyne said she is “outraged by Democrats’
soft-on-crime policies that continue to embolden criminals and endanger our
communities.” The Texas Repulican called the attack a “painful reminder” of
the harm inflicted by leftists who believe violent criminals are the real
victims.

The robberies, some minutes apart, continued for the next hour and 45
minutes near Lincoln Park on Capitol Hill, on streets near Union Station,
and in Hill East. In one robbery on East Capitol Street in Southeast,
police said a man and woman were held up from behind at gunpoint in front
of a church. One man pointed the gun at the man’s head and demanded, “Give
us your stuff!” according to the police report, and patted down the victims
while taking two Apple iPhones.

In another robbery near Union Station, police said a man leaving his
apartment was attacked and put in a chokehold, then punched and kicked in
the head. Police said his wallet and phone were taken by men who ran to a
red vehicle double parked a block away.

Police said Woods, the congressional staffer, is believed to be the last
victim in the series of robberies. A police report says he was walking west
along the 600 block of Constitution Avenue NE, when a man armed with a
black semiautomatic handgun got out of a red four-door sedan with Maryland
license plates and confronted him.

“Give me everything,” he said, according to the police report, taking a
wallet, tablet and MacBook computer. Woods said most of the items were
found by police using tracking devices and that his iPad was found by a
random bystander. His MacBook remains missing.

TOMMY RESPONDS TO LETTER TO THE EDITOR: SCHERZER, DON’T BE A HATER.
<https://substack.com/redirect/3f75ab74-40c8-4ca5-9245-5722ada91991?j=eyJ1IjoiYWM1anoifQ.A72WKS7m9CBG6g6f0Dw5OflmI__R_nJrRolqBnT9ACM>

Dear Scherzer,

I read your letter to the editor and it’s not cool, man. You need to chill
out.

I can’t believe you’re working for the man, now, and ratting me out to the
fuzz.

There is plenty of chow for everyone from the lady on the bench. Don’t flip
your wig.

You need to make love, not war.

You even made fun of my threads. My auntie gave me that Mexican hoodie. She
put out a lot of dough for those threads. Everyone I know digs my hoodie
and they think it’s far out.

Life is a journey, not a destination. There is freedom waiting for you in
the breezes of the sky and you ask, what if I fall? Oh but my darling, what
if you fly?

Don’t be a hater. Love is all you need. Keep on truckin’ and let your freak
flag fly!

Peace out,

Tommy Woodward

Robert O’Harrow Jr., investigative veteran at The Washington Post, dies at
64
<https://substack.com/redirect/5b174dff-83a1-40cf-8b3f-1a29dd3948d5?j=eyJ1IjoiYWM1anoifQ.A72WKS7m9CBG6g6f0Dw5OflmI__R_nJrRolqBnT9ACM>
Mr. O’Harrow’s wide-ranging work included groundbreaking investigations
into digital privacy and surveillance.

The award-winning former Washington Post reporter Robert O’Harrow Jr. died
on Friday. The cause was cancer. He was 64.

Robert was a force of nature, a two-time Pulitzer finalist and contributor
to a 2017 Post Pulitzer. While he left full-time work for the Post about
three years ago, he remained a contract writer for the Post.

Robert was an indefatigable, obsessive reporter, a compulsive fact-checker,
a relentless digger and masterful investigative journalist.
