WOMAN WHO KILLED MAN IN FIGHT IS FOUND GUILTY

Final Chapters Written in Snyder-Gray Tragedy •• ■■' '■ ■ —.——- • Bv United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—The last chapters in the sordid drama that Ruth Snyder and Henry Judd Gray made with their illicit love, their murder of Alfred Snyder and finally their execution Thursday night, are being written. These chapters deal with comforts for the innocent victims of the couple’s mad affairs. The chief victims are Lorraine Snyder, orphaned by the murder of her father and the execution of her mother, and Jane Gray, 10-year-old daughter of the man who was executed. Yesterday an insurance company paid the daughter of Gray $30,000 on a policy her father had held. But the $97,000 insurance policy on Albert Snyder’s life is in litigation and there is question whether Lorraine Snyder will receive this money. The insurance company contends the policy was obtained by fraud. The civil suit over the policy was to have been held today, but the tired attorneys who fought to save Mrs. Snyder from the electric chair, pleaded that there be a continuance until Thursday. The plea was granted. Bodies of the two lovers were buried yesterday. Mrs. Snyder was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Manhattan and Gray in Montclair, N. J.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—There is a vast difference in the mental state of the men close to the market, as many of us are, and the man of affairs, who is content with a casual glance at quotations. The latter, looking at this morning’s paper, seeing the advance in many stocks yesterday, looking at the investment news, seeing that bonds are being called for redemption, finding on inquiry that January may prove to be a record month in the calling of bonds before due, reading the cheerful reports of news agencies, would probably come to the conclusion that conditions are fine, that the investment situation is as sound as the rock of Gibraltar, while the rest of us are worrying about brokers loans, an old story. Os course we all agree that it is a very important one, and at the moment rather disturbing because of some conflicting reports from Washington, but I think if they will leave us alone, don’t do any squeezing in the money market, and the papers stop agitating, we will somehow or other workout of this. At the same time, we must proceed like reasonable humans and dispose of some long stocks on a strong market. GRAIN DEALERS “ELECT Covington Man Renamed President at Closing Session.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, JAN. 14,1928

Mrs. Tode McQuaid Must Go to Prison for Death of John Barrett. A Marion County jury today convicted a woman of manslaughter for the death of a man. The woman is Mrs. Tode McQuaid, 51. The jury in Criminal Court returned a sealed verdict this morning, holding that she stabbed •John Barrett, 29, during a fight in the apartment of Miss Ethel Ping, 915 1 i Massachusetts Ave., last March. Sentence will be passed later by Criminal Judge James A. Collins. The maximum for manslaughter is from two to twenty-one years in Indiana Woman's Prison. The elderly woman took the sentence with little show of emotion. She had testified in her trial that she did not remember much of what happened, except that after a night of carousal, they slept, awakened, resumed drinking and a quarrel started. She said she dimly remembered that Barrett seized her pocketbook and struck at her. This must have been when she seized the knife from a table and stabbed Barrett, she said. Mrs. McQuaid was defended by a woman lawyer. Miss Jessie Levy. Miss Ping was brought to the courtroom from Indiana woman’s prison, where she is serving a term for liquor la wviolation, to testify in the manslaughter trial, a —■■ How the Market Opened Pm United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 14.— Stocks exhibited a firm tone in the early dealings of the final session of the week, but changes generally held in a narrow range.

ACTORS SEEN AND HEARD IN RADIO TESTS Television Broadcasting Is Demonstrated at WGY With Success. RESULT IS STARTLING Experts Say Baseball and Drama at Own Fireside Are Near. By United Press SCHENECTADY, N. Y.. Jan. 14 The possibility of one sitting in his own home and hearing and seeing an opera, a baseball game, a prize fight, or events of equal interest moved definitely closer today. Television broadcasting was demonstrated successfully by the General Electric Company yesterday at its laboratories here. It was this demonstration that moved the possibilities of combining one’s own fireside comfort with the pleasure of seeing and hearing the drama. In the demonstration here, the seeing and hearing was done in the laboratory of Dr. E. F. W. Alexander, consulting engineer of the Radio Corporation and the General Electric Company. A group of executives of several companies and numerous other witnesses gathered. They were told to watch two cabinets about four feet high. See and Hear Actors Soon there was action. There were pictures of people moving. They talked. One could see their lips moving and hear the words they said. Ore man was smoking a cigaret. The smoke curling up from the cigaret could be seen. His comments were heard easily. The test was made in three homes and in each home the result was the same. The sight was pictured and the sounds were heard. The tests brought enthusiastic praise from the witnesses. David Sarnoff of the Radio Corporation was among the - erithusiasttc crowd. “Broadcasting of television now seems clear,” he said. “We will develop it so that eventually not only sound but sight through radio broadcasting will be available in every home,” The system would by no means interfere with the present radio, but would supplement the already known system. Normal Wave Length The broadcasting of sound in yesterday’s test was done on the normal wave length of station WGY, 379.5 meters. Vision was sent on a short wave length of 376.8 meters. The receiver for vision differs from the ordinary short wave receiver in that it converts the waves into light instead of sound. The elements of the receiver are a light source, a scanning device and a synchronizing system. The amplifier of the light waves is substantially the same as that used in a loud speaker. The amplified current is delivered to the lamp, which responds to the fluctuations of the light intensity, just as the diaphragms of a loud speaker reproduce the pulsations of the sound. waves. Disc Revolves Rapidly A disc, twenty-four inches in diameter and with forty-eight holes, is placed in front of the lamp and revolves at such speed that eighteen revolutions are made in a second. Eeach of the holes passed each other and traces successive lines of the picture. This is done so speedily, however, that to the eye it appears exactly the same as an image on the screen. The receiver for the television is greatly similar to the regular radio receiver. LIVESTOCK STEADY" AT MARKET TODAY Hog Receipts Good for Saturday; Chicago Hogs Up. Th<% pork market was steady at the local yards today, with receipts of 6,000 fairly large for a Saturday. The top was $8.75. All other livestock was steady, with heavy receipts in the sheep division.

CHAMBERLIN NEAR AIR GRIND RECORD

Ocean Flier and Aid Still in Air, Despite Many Difficulties. By United Press MITCHEL FIELD, L. 1., Jan. 14. Disregarding impaired flying instruments and a shortage of fooddue to their sandwiches being soaked with Ethyl gasoline—Clarence Chamberlin and Roger Williams continued today in an attempt to break the world's sustained flight record. The Bellanca plane was still in the air at 9:30 a. m. today—approximately 47 ’i hours since the take-off—and the motors were roaring evenly. The two airmen must remain aloft until 3:24 p. m. today to break the record now held by Edzard and Risticz, German flyers. There was every indication that the motor of the Bellanca monoplane was working perfectly. The main difficulties the fliers are undergoing—in adidtion to the loss of sandwiches—is that their fog-flying instruments have quit functioning. Fortunately, the skies have been clear and the airmen had needed these instruments very little. One gasoline tank was punctured and some of the gasoline supply was lost. The leak was noticed, however, before any great quantity of gasoline had seeped out. They are missing only one of the tanks now. At 8:35 a. m. a message written on a piece of paper bag was thrown from the plane, addressed to A. M. Martine, owner of the craft and sponsor of the flight. It read: "Can’t tell our consumption with wing tank guage gone. Only sure of staying till noon. Have thrown everything overboard to reduce weight. Looks like We might possibly just make it on account of gas loss and possibly dirty spark plugs. Oil holding out o. k.” PICK BUS LINE RECEIVER Thomas S. Hood to Handle InterState Company’s Business.

Y. W. FAVORS BARRING WOMEN FAG SMOKERS Resolution Urges Religious Bodies to Eliminate Cigarets. “Compromising on the question of cigaret smoking by women” is deplored in a resolution by the Central W. C. T. U. The resolution, adopted Friday, urges that doors of all missionary meetings and all other religious bodies of women in America be closed to any speaker favoring compromise, regardless of her position in her church in another country. Miss Maude A. Hoyden, English lecturer, is understood to have been referred to in the resolution. She is reported to have declared in a talk at Rochester, N. Y., that the, church is not in a position to dictate to women about smoking as long as it permits its male members to smoke.

Bu 7'fmn Bvecial WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—Opposition to the proposed Cooper bill which would enable States to enact legislation forbidding interstate shipments of prison-made goods into their territory, was voiced by John Moorman, Knox, Ind., president of the board of trustees of The Indiana State Prison, before the House committee on labor. If such a plan is permitted, Moorman pointed out, idleness would be created in the prisons, as no institution could diversify its products so as to limit production to the needs of the State.

‘JEKYLL-HYDE’ IS SOUGHT AS CHILDKILLER Criminal of Extreme Cunning and Intelligence Shown in Slaying. HUNT BY POSSES FAILS Only Two Dim Clews Found Whioh Might Lead to ‘Butcher’ Capture. BY PHILLIP N. O HARA United Press Staff Correspondent FLINT, Mich., Jan. 14.-Failure of police and volunteer posses to round up the middle aged man who kidnaped and mutilated Dorothy Schneider, 5-ycar-old kindergarten pupil, gave rise today to the theory that the assailant was a Jekyll-Hyd* type of extraordinary cunning. In addition to the fact that the incisions made on the little girl were done with almost professional surgical skill and were confined to well anatomical areas, authorities were inclined to view his escape from a State- wide search as due to extraordinary resource and intelligence. For nearly thirty-six hours the man hunt had equaled that for Hickman in California. Every highway leading out of Flint had been patroled for a slightly stooped, furhatted man driving a dilapidated sedan. Underworld resorts were visited and descriptions of the murderer were broadcast by radio, newspapers and in the movie theaters. Admit Chances Are Slim The net result was that officials were forced today to admit that their chances of capturing the killer rested on two slender hopes. Practically all of the fifty or sixty "suspects” caught by the police net had slipped through the meshes after little investigation. Some hope was entertained that Archie Bacon, the ..farmer who obligingly helped Dorothy’s assailant to release his automobile from the mud shortly after the crime, might be able to recognize a Wisconsin “bum,” who was picked up as the girl’s aggressor. His appearance corresponded generally with the description of the man sought, except that he was somewhat shorter and lighter. He admitted, according to Frank A. Green, Geneset sheriff, that he was in Flint, Thursday. The second centered around a mysterious driver of an automobile, who attracted attention in Saginaw Friday, by driving through the alleys of the city, reversing when other machines approached him and generally acting in a furtive manner. The initial numbers of the license plates noted by some boys, were those of licenses issued in Flint, The man was not arrested, but police believed they would have him before sunset. Deny Arrests Covered Up Three detectives of the Detroit homicide squad joined in the hunt today. They were detailed because of their previous experience in dealing with degenerates. Sheriff Green denied he had asked special protection for the county jail or that he was seeking to cover up the arrest of suspects because he feared a lynching. While public indignation here undoubtedly was strong over the murder, there were no manifestations of any kind. Mrs. Schneider, who is 24, was recovering sufficiently to talk of the event. Surrounded by relatives and friends in her little home on the outskirts of the village of Mount Morris, she described how Dorothy was an exceptionally bashful child, who was a spectator rather than a participant of her comrades’ play. She usually returned from school with two little boys, who lived next door, Mrs. Schneider said. On the day of the kidnaping the two boys were kept at home because, their mother explained, “they had nothing to wear.’’ Seek Coast Kidnaper By United Press LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 14.—A man hunt comparable to the one which brought about the capture of Edward Hickman, spread over southern California today, as posses searched for the attacker of 11-year-old Audrey Clark. The girl was kidnaped and attacked late yesterday by a “slovenly appearing, middle-aged man,” who finally released her. PREDICTS SNOW SUNDAY Fifteen Degree Drop Due Tomorrow Night; “Spring” to End.
