SUCCESSOR TO •! CASEY JONES SUITS HIS GAB Completed Run on Which Engineer of Famed Song Was Killed. By United Press CHICAGO, March 12. —Announcement of the retirement of Harry A. Norton, 70, the engineer who com-

pleted the run on was killed, is made in the current issue of the Illinois Central Magazine. When the veteran engineer left his cab for the last time recently, he did so, he admitted, a bit less briskly than he did when he had completed the run on which Jones, who later was made famous by a popu-

which Casey Jones .. -mw.

lar song, was killed at Vaughan, Miss., in 1900. ‘‘l’ve been with the Illinois Central for almost forty years,” Norton said. “It's nearly thirty-one years since I climbed in Casey’s cab to finish his run after the accident. And I’ve been on this run ever since,” There are other old timers who recall Casey Jones as a fearless engineer rather than as the hero of a song. They remember that he was assigned to his last route—Jackson, Tenn., to Water Valley, Miss.—because he was not afraid to pilot a fast train and get it in on time. Jones died when his engine plowed into the caboose of a stalled freight train on the morning of June 1, 1900. B. J. Feeny, an official of the Illinois Central System, told at a recent dinner that Casey’s real name was John Luther Jones, and that his nickname was derived from his home town, Caycc, Ky. “When the world’s fair of 1893 doted in Chicago,” Feeny said, “Casey came here to receive locomotive 638 which was on exhibition, ancl this was his regular engine for several years.” Sim Webb, Casey’s Negro fireman, who saved his own life by jumping before the crash, recalls that he warned Casey to jump also, but that Jones stayed with his engine. Mrs. Casey Jones, widow of the engineer, now lives in Memphis, Tenn.

MYSTERY NOVEL HAS UNIQUE BEGINNING Elizabeth Holloway in “Cobweb House” - Has Pass Christian as the Scene of a Strange Crime. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE thing that strikes one on starting to read “Cobweb House,” by Elizabeth Hughes Holloway is that the author has hit upon a unique as well as a satisfactory means of starting a murder mystery. You first meet “a lean, rather dark, rather young, rather studiousappearing man’ 1 riding in a Pullman bound for Pass Christian from New Orleans. He has before him many letters written by the woman he is going to marry, Anna Sue Yancy. The man in the Pullman has the name of James Vorbin. He starts reading letters that he has received from Ann Sue about

strange events happening in Cobweb House at Pass Christian. The entire first part of this novel is devoted to these letters of Ann Sue telling about her horrible suspicions of her aunts and others. These letters terminate in a telegram received by Jim, stating that Ann’s grandfather, Captain Jasper Yancy, had died suddenly in the night during a terrific storm. From then on, Jim and Ann Sue start to work out the mystery of the "murder” of Captain Yancy. There is another point of difference in this murder mystery from others, that is the reader is not a bit sympathetic with Captain Yancy. He was a tyrant of the old school and certainly made life miserable for the two aunts of Ann Sue In the house. Did Aunt Aurelia or Aunt Maude kill Captain Yancy in his bed? Did the strange Voodoo chant and powers of Veechie, the only servant in the house, kill the old man? Several others could have killed Captain Yancy and all of them had a motive. And a “small, grimy calico bag” had a lot to do in solving the mystery. And another difference with this novel is that no detective, no great brain, is employed to solve the mystery. A voodoo something had a lot to do with the solution. As usual, I will not give away the plot or the solution. You may tell me that the many letters used to open the story is not new. I know that, and I remember that Bram Stoker used nothing but letters to give the terrible details of Count Dracula in “Dracula,” You will agree with me that here is a different type of a murder mystery, and it is difficult to find the guilty person. Makes enjoyable reading. “Cobweb House” has just been published by E. P. Dutton & Cos., Inc.

U. S. CLOSES TESTIMONY IN DENISON CASE Defense Motion for Judge to Direct Not Guilty Verdict Fails. By United Press WASHINGTON, March tice Peyton Gordon of the District of Columbia supreme court today overruled a motion for a directed verdict of not guilty in the trial of former Representative Edward E. Denison of Illinois, charged with possessing liquor in his office. Defense attorneys moved for a directed verdict after the government had concluded its case. The motion was made on the grounds of “no continuity of evidence because of suspicions,” and that Denison was not aware of the content of the trunk containing the liquor in his office. The government, closing its case, had difficulty in establishing as evidence two bottles of Spey Royal Scotch whisky, which it claimed were seized from the trunk in Denison’s office jan. 19, 1929. When the government attorneys presented their exhibits, William E. Leahy, chief counsel for Denison, succeeded in having barred as evidence a suitcase which had been found leaking in the express office here, a bottle of gin, and a number of whisky labels, baggage receipts and way-bills. Through freight service linking Europe to Asia will be established by the railroads of Germany, Soviet Russia ana China, and Japanese steamship companies.
