INSANITY PLEA FOR SLAYER ' OF GIRL-WIFE Terre Haute Man Weeps as State Demands Chair Death. By l m special TERRE HAUTE, Ind . March 12. —The state of Indiana today is continuing the presentation of evidence with object of ending the lif? of Lawrence Johnson, 22, in the electric chair for the murder of his wife, Mildred, 16. He crushed her skull with an ax Jan. 26 at the home of her mother, Mrs. Antn Watts. At the time of his arrest, Johnson said he took her life to save her from childbirth in poverty. Insanity is the plea of the defense. In questioning prospective jurors, defense counsel stressed the point that no juror should be prejudiced against a defendant pleading insanity. On the other hand, the prosecution asked each if he had any scruples against inflicting the death penalty. While a victrola played dance tunes in the Watts home, the young husband induced his wife to go with him to an upstairs bedroom where he wielded the ax with deadly effect. Lighting a cigaret, he came down stairs and told the girl’s mother and others what he had done. In its opening statement, the defense indicated that an attack would be made on the character of the slain girl-wife and that evidence would show traces of insanity in Johnson’s family. It was Indicated her alleged relations with two boarders in the home would be the subject of testimony. As the trial progresses, Johnson Is given to fits of hysterical weeping, in direct contrast to his attitude while the jury was being selected. Then he sat pale of face, silent, and almost immovable! A brother is the only relative with him. At the prosecution’s table is the victim’s mother and two sisters, Misses Kathryn and Maxine Watts.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WETS LABELED AS INTOLERANT’ BY WICKERSHAM Drys Have Taken Report to Heart, He Says in Boston Speech. By United Press BOSTON, March 12.—George W. Wickersham, chairman of the Hoover law enforcement commission, praised prohibitionists and criticised anti-prohibitionists for their reception of the commission’s prohibition report, in a speech today before the Boston Chamber of Commerce. “I should have thought the ‘wets’ would have derived more encouragement from the report and the separate statements of the commissioners attached to it than the ‘drys,’ ” he said. He explained that the “most vehement criticism” had come from the anti-prohibitionists, while prohibitionists, prohibition organizations, and the “dry press” were “on the whole, friendly to the report.” “Apparently, a large body of antiprohibitionists expected the commission to find a way for them to obtain liquor with ease and were enraged when we failed to do so,” Wickersham said in his speech, which was a defense of the commission's work. Takes Criticism to Heart This was the chairman's first utterance on the controversial report since it was issued. Prohibitionists, he said, “seem to have taken to heart the criticism of the methods adopted by prohibition advocates in the past, and to have realized from the description of existing conditions the need of rallying their forces and reconsidering their plans in the light of the facts set forth.” “In the past, there was much well founded complaint of the extreme intolerance of the prohibitionists. This peculiar characteristic of late appears to have been appropriated by their opponents. “Much has been made in public discussion of the differences between the conclusions formulated by the commission itself in the report, which was signed by ten of its members, and the opinions expressed by individual commissioners in their separate statements annexed to the report. “Integral—Not Misleading” “I think a careful study of all documents will satisfy any impartial mind that these differences mainly are confined to the remedies suggested for the ill recognized in the report.” Referring to criticism of the conclusions of the report, which opposed repeal of the eighteenth amendment, as “misleading,” Wickersham said these conclusions “are an integral part of the report.” “Some of us, of whom I am one, feared that any modifications proposed (in the individual opinions) inevitably would lead to the resoration of the licensed saloon, with all the evils of the institution in the past, and, therefore, were unwilling at this time to abandon all further efforts to bring about a general observance of the eighteenth amendment,” the chairman told his audience.

Wake-Hup! By United Press LONDON, March 12.—Getting people out of bed in the morning is a vocation in the Limehouse district. Two families, the Smiths and the Coopers, are competing as professional “wakersup.” The Smiths use peashotters and blow peas against the windows to wake up their clients. The Coopers toss pebbles against the windows. The fee for the service is 12 cents a week. Mrs. Mary Cooper, head of the Cooper clan, has been a “waker-up” for forty years. She boasts she never has broken a window or failed to wake up a customer. Leaving her house at 2 a. m. with a pocketful of gravel, she makes two calls at every house to make sure that none of her clients has turned over and gone to sleep again after the first call.

SGRIPPS URGES RECORD CUT IN LABOR’SHOURS More Equal Distribution of Wealth Also Seen as Vital Need. (Continued from Page One) ment, for millions of intelligent and willing workers, then something is decidedly wrong with the system which permits this condition. “I doubt if legislators can do much about it by passing laws. But they might supply the leadership which industry itself so far has been unable to supply. At least the sort of legislators here gathered might do that. “I am not for Socialism, or Bolshevism, or Fascism. Being what I am, a newspaper man, I could not be. I have observed that all sorts of dictatorships strangle the very thing that I am particularly interested in—a free and independent press. “They likewise strangle free and independent financiers. And business men. And politicians. All of these should have the same dread that I have, professionally, of too much power in the state. “But. by the same token, I am aware that the bulk of our people are not writers, not orators, not company promoters. Their interest is in regular eating and continuation of family life, sadly disrupted by the recurrent business depressions which economists heretofore have accepted, and even come to label, cyclical. “I think that the bulk of our people like to have free writers, and orators, and bankers in their midst. They like them, up to a point. The point is reached when, in the midst of plenty, they themselves are thrown out of work. * Masses Are Awakening “This has been happening pretty regularly f or some centuries.* But today the masses are reading—about Russia and about Italy—and it is inconceivable that they will stand for it indefinitely. “We—and I speak from my own point of view—have here a problem that the world will not get rid of simply by guess and by gosh, or by any other natural process. The fact is that all over the civilized world, by reason of application of science, potential per capita production is increasing much more rapidly than population. “My own hunch is that if all of us are to keep busy and not starve —and if I, and Bob Lafollette, and any young business men you want to name—are going to keep our jobs, that fact can indicate only one way out. Slash Working Hours “First, shorter hours of labor than ever have been dreamed of. “Second, a much more wide distribution of wealth—through wages or otherwise —to permit increased luxury consumption, and increased luxury employment. “As i see it, gentlemen, the alternative is the goose step, one way or another, and Lenin or Mussolini make mighty little difference. “Finally, I think that some such readjustment is coming. I think it inevitable. And I think it can be expedited by congressmen in this way: By making it equitable between one business and another. “I have had a good many of what you call ‘big business’ contracts lately. I have been amazed at the number of these people who are thinking clearly on this subject.
