TWO LADS ARE CCOffTI WBD rnoM PAPB ONB) I. Marshall said. Neal and Marshall sat handcuffed : during the closing arguments yesI terday and heard attorneys de- | scribe them as “rata, roughnecks, ! ruffians and murderers." Two utterly different pictures i were offered by the attorneys as I they summed up their case before I a tense, crowded courtroom They j were pictured as vicious murderers lof a help less man whom they 1 themselves admitted was a "good guy." They were painted by defense attorneys as two mentally deficient youths who were not ae countable for their actions. ; "This is not a question of sym pnthy—lt is a question of doing ‘ your duty," Bute's Attorney George T. Tolen told the jury In the closing moments. “If you do your duty as well as Neal's Uncle Jake did when he arrested his nephew, the good citi- ! i sens of Indiana need have no fear They will know they may live in security. "The criminals—the murderers—will hesitate before crossing the Shelby county line with murder in ' 1 their minds." Tolen flourished the cheap, goldplated gun that killed Bright. “A life sentence means nothing to birds like these. They'd take such a sentence grinning as they’ve ! sat and grinned throughout this trial." The prosecuting attorney ridiculed the plea of insanity as "an old resort of criminals.” Previously two psychiatrists had testified Neal is below normal intelligence and termed Marshall a "high moron with the intelligence of a 12-year-old child ' Mrs. Lois Cherry Bright, comely widow of the slain man. wept audibly during Prosecuting Attorney | Fred V. Cramer's hour and a half of plea to the jury in which he repeated the sordid details of the murder. The young Indianapolis school teacher was not in court, however, when sentence was pronounced. Cramer described how the two youths lay in wait for a motorist ax Washington and Noble streets near an Indianapolis railroad via duct. "How easily it could have been someone else other than William Bright.” Cramer said. “These two men were out to 'get' somebody ■ and they didn't care who it was—- ; it might have been you or me or : anyone else wbo happened to be at j Washington and Noble streets I when the traffic light changed from green to red — but William 11.

REBEL RELIEF i FORCES HALTER Motorized Army Os 10,000 Insurgents Stopped By Loyalists Madrid. Apr «— <U.R> -Hidden loyalist machine guns “mowed down" two squadrons of nationalist cavalry today and stopped a motorized army of 10.000 insurgents rushing from Badajoz. on the Portuguese frontier, to the re-j lief of Geu. Gonzalo Quelpo De Llano's defeated army west of Pozoblanco, army dispatches reported. One nationalist column of 5.000 men. in SOO lorries and trucks, sped westward out of Badajoz, preceded by two squadrons of cavalry, and moved down side roads toward the government outposts at Yerbe, in the Medellin sector, 70 miles northwest of Hinojosa Del Duque, a strong point in the Penarrvya coal district. As the nationalist infantry deployed and advanced over a wide area, the insurgent artillery laid down a heavy barrage on the government lines. At the same time , insurgent aviation bombed the , Medellin railway station. 52 miles west of Badajoz. destroying it. The reinforced nationalist brigade, split into four infantry bat- , taiions and two squadrons of cavalry advanced alongside the Bada-joz-Medellin highway and the adjoining Guarena plain, apparently unaware, army dispatches said, of the impregnable fortifications' the < I loyalists had constructed , The government militia waited ' < until the insurgent cavalry detach-!; ■ ments came within 100 yards of. their front line trenches, officers : ( reported, then opened up with' | machine guns. < t Riders dropped from their saddles. Horses whinnied with fright as the searing machine gun bullets mowed them down Riderless 1 ; horses fled in all directions. Sur- ! , vivors of the machine gun ambush i ] fell back and the advancing infan- , try dug in for a stiff battle, re- , ports said Meanwhile, another nationalist . column of about 5,000 men appear- , ed before the loyalist lines at j nearby Villarena, army reports 1 ' said Loyalist artillery batteries j 1 spread "death and destruction." i military reports said, among the j attacking groups, leaving the battlefield covered with dead and wounded. The nationalist artillery jvas silenced by direct hits.

Pushing the still retreating | nationalist forces ahead of them. I the government army captured and occupied Blazauez, Castillo De la»s Blazquez, La Granjuela and La Esparraguera in rapid succession. Insurgent forces on the outskirts of Madrid suffered three reverses, army reports said They made one advance down the Coruna road, northwest of Madrid, only to be repulsed and driven back a mile and a half. In the Carablauchel sector, south of Madrid, loyalists took the initiative, seizing 250 fortified houses and continuing to advance toward an insurgent field hospital. Loyalists advanced in the Ceirnpozuelos area while insurgent reinforcements, proceeding toward their front lines on the Guadalajara sector were bombed and machinegunned from the air, being forced, army reports said, to retreat in the direction of Slgueuza whence they came. Arrests continued today in connection with an alleged fascist plot to attack government forces from the central hotel and market area. Nine persons were held including the alleged leader, Manuel Ruis Gonzalez. Military authorities seized a large supply of rifles, revolvers, hand bombs and a large stock of ammunition at the central market.

Mrs. Henry A. McDaniel, wife of a forest ranger atop Escudilla mountain, near Alpine, said the plane made five wide circles, then headed toward Greer. Mrs. Inez Booth, telephone company manag-

SEEK SCULPTOR AS MURDERER Robert Irwin Object Os Huge Manhunt In Gedeon Murders New York, April «—(UP)—Police commissioner Lewis JJ. Valentine today personally directed the manhunt for Robert Irwin, the 28-year-old sculptor he charged with the Beekman Hill triple murder. The search centered near the home ot Mrs Ethel Gedeon Kudner, sister of Veronica Gedeon, arflat model killed Easter Sunday with her mother, Mary, and Frank Byrnes, a lodger. Valentine said he feared that Irwin, a former divinity student and once an inmate ot an insane asylum might try to murder Mrs. Kudner and theu take his own life. With photographs and a thumbnail description of Irwin, all of the city's 1,950 detectives were told to concentrate on the case of the exclusion of all but essential duties. Daylong squads went through bowery lodging houses. chea>p rooming houses, and the haunts of neurotics. Valentine eaid that despite many reports ot Irwin having been seen in various other cities in the east that he wan certain the suspect still was within the New York City limits. The commissioner and other ranking police heads charged the crime against Irwin, advancing as the motive the fact that Miss Gedeon and her mother broke up a romance between Irwin and Mrs. Kuduer before the latter married Joseph Kud-! uer. The two women were strangled and Byrnes was stabbed to deathPolice authorities, still believing Irwin might turn up at the Kudner apartment house, stationed detectives around it and persuaded Mrs. Kudner to move to a less acceeeible apartment. — o BUDGET BALANCE FROM PAGE ONE) ing. But how much Morgenthau intends to borrow is not known. Mr. Roosevelt's budget message last January foresaw a net deficit of $2,248,000,000 for this fiscal year. He estimated revenue at $5,828,151,000 and predicted/ the national debt on June 30. the end of this fiscal year, would be $35,026,000,000. With tax collections down and expenditures up. it is reasonable to believe that Mr. Roosevelt will report in his revised estimates next week that revenue will be less than expected and the deficit and national debt proportionately larger. These maladjustments are likely to carry over into the fiscal years 1938 and 1939. making it considerably more difficult for the president to realize his objective of a "layman's balance of the budget" in 1938 and an iron-bound, technical and complete balance the next i year. The "layman's balance" would

be a state of affairs In which the government would borrow about $401,000,09(1 in the next fiscal year . . but by voting It entirely to statu- i tory debt retirement avoid actually .' ‘ increasing the national debt for a ' 1 period of twelve months. i
