‘JEKTLL-HYDE’ PLEA MADE BY THRILLKILLER College Student on Trial to Blame Flu Attack for Murders. By United Pres* ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 15.—George Harsh, handsome and reckless collegian, crack pistol shot, and alleged “thrill slayer” goes on trial today In Pulton superior court for murder. With him he brings a defense, according to his counsel, as bizarre and different as the case itself. It is the defense of a dual personality, a youthful Jekyll and Hyde who, sober, is a brilliant student interested in such subjects as moody Russian literature, and who, under the influence of intoxicating liquor, is an insatiable thrill hunter who will go on even to murder.

Accused of Two Killings Harsh is charged with two killings. He had confessed, police say, to the murder of S. H. Meeks, killed during the robbery of a grocery store on the night of Oct. 6, and to the slaying of Willard Smith, who fatally was shot in a drug store robbery ten days later. With Harsh on the night raids, according to police, was Richard Gallogly. Gallogly, perhaps not as colorful as his companion, still is a prisoner in Fulton Tower, awaiting his own trial for the same murders, to be neld Jan. 29. The young man who faced Judge E. D. Thomas today, is, according to his jailers, still the rather calm, cold-eyed ultra-modem who was placed there nearly three months ago. His face is pale now, they say, and he does not look crazy. To look at Harsh, they will tell you, it is easy to believe he is the son of wealth—he comes of a millionaire Milwaukee family —but rather hard to imagine him the cruel gunman who shot down men who resisted his efforts at robbery. Strange Story Told t The story of these two young students who have come to grief, is strange—almost unbelievable. Harsh was the leader-, Gallogly the willing follower. Gallogly drove the car and waited outside while his more venturesome companion drew his revolver and entered the stores they robbed. Harsh suggested, planned and executed the raids. And he did it, his lawyers will try to show, while half drunk, driven to fulfilment of a queer desire for a thrill. They say, this desire is the unfortunate leftover of a severe juvenile case of influenza, and will substantiate this claim, they insist, with the sworn testimony of medical men, diagnosticians and alienists. HEAD OF COLLEGE HURT Wife of Earlham President Also Injured in Auto Crash. Bn United Press SEYMOUR, Ind., Jan. 15.—Dr. David M. Edwards, 56, president of Earlham colllege, Richmond, and his wife 42, were injured seriously when their automobile skidded into a tree near here.

The motor of the automobile, which was almost completely demolished, was pushed into the front seat. The couple were returning to Richmond after a trip to Tennessee.

Radio WHITEMAN TO 00 ON AIR FOR 9-WEEKSERIES Famed Conductor at Last ‘Falls’ for Radio; Signs With Old Gold. By Times Special NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—Paul Whiteman, for the first time in ail his reign as the king of jazz, is going on the air in an extended broadcast program. On Feb. 5 Whiteman and his orchestra will begin a series of at least nine weekly concerts, to inaugurate one of the major broadcast programs of the year—the Old Gold hour, for which the P. Lorillard company, manufacturers of Old Gold cigarets, just have signed a contract with the Columbia Broadcasting system involving an expenditure of about a million dollars for the air alone. The broadcasts subsequent to the nine or possibly fifteen weeks of Whiteman will maintain the same high standard of entertainment, so that hour, which is to be called the Old-Gold-Paul Whiteman hour is to represent an additional expenditure for talent of about $250,000 in a year. 1 The contract just signed between Lorillard and Columbia is to run for two years, which means that Old Golds are undertaking a nationwide radio program representing an outlay of $1,500,000. Whiteman has flirted with the air for several years and actually has been broadcast on two or three notable occasions, but hitherto he has withstood all blandishments toward inducing him to undertake a regular and extended program. The Old Gold hour is to be from 8 to 9 o'clock central standard time, Tuesday nights, and will include in its hookup forty-three stations, so that this musical treat will be made available in homes in every nook and corner of America. The fortythree stations and the cities in which they are located are: WABC, New York; WFAN, Philadelphia: WNAC, Boston; WEAN. Providence: WFBL, Syracuse; WCAO, Baltimore; WJAS, Pittsburgh: WADC.

KIMS BLOW AT HOUDINI 'SPIRIT' NOTE TOWIDOW Magician Declares Woman Knew Code Before Wizard Died. Bn Cn’ted Press NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—The mystic message, “believe,” allegedly sent from the realms of the spirit world by Harry Houdini to his widow here, was under anew attack today. Joseph Dunninger, magician, an unrelenting foe of spurious psychic phenomena, like Houdini in his lifetime. was the generalissimo in this latest effort to disprove the validity of the message which Mrs. Houdini herself had declared convinced her of its genuineness. Aiding him in his attack was Joseph Bantino, 28, from the Fulton fish market, old stamping ground of former Governor Alfred E. Smith. Dunninger, Bantino, and a small army of press folk descended upon Mrs. Houdini’s apartment Monday night, while Dunninger without even rolling up his sleeves produced Bantino, and Bantino produced a story designed to cast doubt upon spiritualism in the “believe” message. Bantino related that he had courted a girl who knew one Daisy White, herself a magician and acquaintance of Houdini. Bantino opined that the Rev. Arthur Ford, medium in the transfer of the message, had received it from Daisy White who in turn had had her code and the message from Houdini long before he ever became a spirit. Mrs. Houdini seemed bewildered at this new turn, but indignantly refused to believe that Daisy White

had had her husband’s confidence. She said she had found letters from Houdini to the woman, who, she added, had often brought her “messages” from Houdini. “But none ever came in our secret code,” she said. Dunninger then gave an exhibition of reading messages reporters wrote and secreted, and offered Ford $21,000 if he and his spirits could read a message he would write and secrete. Later Daisy White at Ford's apartments admitted knowing the fish-handler slightly, but said she had never discussed Houdini in that quarter or never had said she had got Houdini’s code message before his death. The Rev. Mr. Ford observed: “Mrs. Houdini accepted the message as genuine and that is the important thing.” - He denied having any material or spiritual assistance from Daisy
