SCOTLAND YARD OBTAINS DEATH i PENALTY FOR 2 Convictions of Cop Slayers Ended Difficult Seven Months’ Search.

B’l United Press LONDON, April 28.—Scotland Yard today wrote a tentative “finis” to one of its hardest and most successful cases when two men were sentenced to death at Old Bailey criminal court for the murder last September of Police Constable G. W. Gutteridge. The men sentenced were Frederick Browne, 46, and William Kennedy, 37. Their conviction for first degree murder came after a four-day trial. Gutteridge. a patrolman In a country district, was found shot to death beside a road near Stalpeford Abbots, in Essex county, Sefct. 27. Eyes Shot Out A bullet had been placed through each eye after he was killed, because of the belief by the murderers that Scotland Yard usually photographed the eyes of murdered people to see whether an image of the killer was engraved on the retina. There was no apparent clew to the murderers. Scores of men were put on the case. Several days later an abandoned motor car was found a few miles from the scene of the murder. At about the same time, twenty miles away on the other side of London, a pistol was fished up from the River Thames as it flowed through the Hammersmith district. Auto, Gun Lead to Arrests These two clews had no apparent connection with the crime, but were connected, for theory purposes, with it, and the story of the crime, eventually was written around them.

Four and one-half monhs later a squad of detectives arrested Browne and from them, and on Feb. 6, they were charged formally with the murder. Kennedy.

Paint, Not Bugs Spray From Park Gives Car at Curb New White Coat.

PERHAPS the first longdistance paint job was inadvertently accomplished Thursday afternoon at the Riverside amusement park when an auto parked on W. Thirtieth St., at least 100 yards from the park entrance was changed from black to white in a few minutes as a result of a park painter using a sprayer In a high wind on one of the light standards inside the resort. In accomplishing the annual spring paint-up week activities at Riverside many barrels of white' paint are being shot out of guns over the buildings and light standards much in the manner in which trees are sprayed. It happened that the fine spray of white paint was caught in the stiff breeze and, although almost invisible when in the air, soon changed the hue of the car out on Thirtieth St. When the angry auto owner stormed into the adminstration offices he was properly appeased by Jack Mooney, assistant manager, who gave him an order for a complete new paint job and a pocketful of season passes on the merry-go-round.

STRESSES NEED OF ARBITRATION Hughes Urges Friendliness With Latin-America. 11 By United Press WASHINGTON, April 28.— Charles E. Hughes, former Secretary of State, told the American Society of International Law here Thursday night that this country should go fully half way in arbitrating disputes with Latin-American nations. He expressed hope that the United States would meet its sister republics in the approaching arbitration conference with a “clear-ut policy for genuinely obligatory arbitration of justifiable questions.” “We should have no stipulations which could be regarded as a reservation of the right to refuse arbitration in cases which lie outside the excepted classes,” he said. He said the recent Pan-American conference at Havana demonstrated mutual friendship of nations represented. INVITE PUBLIC TO OLD TIME DAILEY MEETING Old-fashioned political meetings will be duplicated at Tomlinson Hall, May 3, when the Indiana Dailey-for-Governor Club holds its “honesty meeting.” Frederick Van Nuys, president of the club, says that Frank C.

It would r.ot be consistent with the purpose of this meeting to put on a lot of frills and | pretenses, so we just are going back : to old-fashioned tactics. “This meeting will be called to j order about 8 o’clock and after he | talks Dailey will greet people personally until the time arrives to | go home.” LEGAL AUTHOR TO TALK Edson Sunderland Will Address Bar Group Here, May 2.
