BARRETT CASE TO REACH JURY TODAY; ARGUMENTS BEGIN Fate of G-Man’s Killer to Be Decided by Panel of Nine Farmers, Two Auto Salesmen and Sawmiller. FEARED FEUD WAR, DEFENSE PLEA Many Crimes Laid to Slayer of Federal Agent by Government; Had Expected Arrest, He Admits on Stand. BY JOE COLLIER A jury of nine farmers, two auto salesmen and a sawmiller is to decide today whether George W. Barrett, 50-year-old Kentucky had man, must hang for the murder Aug. lfi of Federal Agent Nelson B. Klein. Agent Klein was attempting to arrest Barrett, who had a criminal record before then, on charges of violating the national law against transporting stolen autos across a state line.

Barrett shot him at West College Corner, Ind., at about 6:15 in the afternoon because, he told the Federal Court jury, he thought Klein was one of a number of Kentucky feudist enemies he §aid were after him. The government and defense are allotted two hours each for argument. During the taking of testimony, which lasted from Monday to 5:30 yesterday afternoon, it was brought out by the government that Barrett did not announce any plans he might have had to get out of the country on Aug. 16 until he heard fiom a stool pigeon acquaintance that the Federal officers were after him. The defense, however, brought out that Barrett was the only surviving eye witness to a. feud foray in Manchester. Ky„ in September, 1932, in which two of Barrett's cousins were killed. Expected Arrest for Year The defense also showed that the present commonwealth attorney, or prosecutor, has been attempting to make indictments against those he believes guilty of the feud shooting and it was inferred that members of t'ne opposing side hoped to kill Barrett and eliminate him as a possible grand jury witness. Indictments previously returned against the four suspects had been stolen from the bullet-riddled courthouse at Manchester, the present commonwealth attorney told the court and jury. From his own lips, the government brought from Barrett that he had expected for one solid year, momentarily, that Federal agents would arrest him for stolen car activities which he admitted had extended over a period of more than four years. Admits Numerous Trips But Barrett said on the stand that Federal arrest ‘‘meant nothing to me because I had a greater worry—the fear of the men from Manchester.” Nevertheless, District Attorney Val Nolan made Barrett admit, even though he said he made all of his numerous trips to Texas, California and Mexico because he was afraid of the Manchester gang, that he invariably returned in a few days (Turn to Page Three) SOUTH BEND UNIONS TO ACT ON TRUCK STRIKE Drivers May Ask Support With General Walkout. fi’l T'nilrrf Pres* SOUTH BEND.

Dismissal of 27 workers from Vigo County relief projects today apparently had ended a strike of 2000 WPA workers who protested against working more than six hours a day The men went on strike Thursday after WFA officials posted notice that during the current pay roll period hours of labor would be increased to seven and eight hours so workers could receive a full pay before Christmas. Most strikers returned to work yesterday, but 27 left their jobs at the end of the six-hour period. Wayne Coy, state WPA director, ordered them dismissed.

U. S. Supreme Court May Give Ruling on Bruno’s Plea Monday

Mysterious Activities of Ace Detective Add to Reports He Believes Hauptmann Innocent. till United Press TRENTON. N. J„ Dec. 7.—Mysterious activities of Ellis Howard Parker, graying detective of the Hall-Mills case and 300 other major ciimes, substantiated reports today that he believes he can prove Bruno Richard Hauptmann innocent of the murder of the Lindbergh baby. Parker secretly deserted his home in Mount Holly and was discovered living in the Elks Club nearby, protected from all questioners by fellow members. He had disappeared Thursday when Gov. Harold G. Hoffman revealed that he was conducting a private investigation of the crime for which Hauptmann is condemned. Parker’s secretary had said he was hunting. He went to the Elks Club late last night and no explanation was available. Gov. Hoffman denied published reports today that Parker had made an arrest or had told him the name of the person he suspected of the kidnaping. Parker’s Conviction Friends of the Governor believed it was Parker's conviction that an innocent man is condemned to die for the murder of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh’s infant son that induced Hoffman to visit Hauptmann secretly a month ago in the death house. Since that visit, although he has refused to say whether he believes Hauptmann is guilty, the Governor has requested his fellow-members of the eight-man court of pardons to hear Hauptmann in the same way. If the United States Supreme Court refuses Monday to review Hauptmann’s conviction on constitutional grounds, Hauptmann will ask the court of pardons, as his last hope for life, to pardon him, parole him or commute his sentence to imprisonment. Until Thursday there was no thought that the court would consider a pardon or parole. Today it seemed possible Hauptmann's mercy request would be given serious consideration. Hauptmann, Wife Jubilant United States Senator A. Harry Moore, Governor at the time the Lindbergh baby was kidnaped and murdered, said Parker had worked independently on the case since its inception and had talked with him about it several times. Parker is chief of detectives of rural Burlington County. He is 63, grizzled of hair and mustache and so heavy that he rolls when he walks, but his eyes squint keenly. County records show he has solved 200 of 238 murder cases on which he has worked. Hauptmann, his slight blonde wife and their chief attorney, C. Lloyd Fisher, were jubilant over the swift change in attitude toward the German carpenter’s long fight for freedom. Mrs. Hauptmann smiled in a cold wind outside the prison yesterday, after a visit to her husband, and said she found him “very cheerful, indeed.” U. S. REMAINS COLD TO JAPANESE SUGGESTIONS * Conference on Nine-Power Revision Met With Silence. ft)/ United Press WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.—Administration officials today remained completely cold to Japanese semiofficial suggestions for a conference of signatories to the nine-power treaty to seek revision of that pact. Leaders here professed to see no reason for altering the treaty, which was signed at the Washington arms conference in 1922 and pledges the signatory powers, including Japan, to restrict the political and territorial integrity of China.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1935

Justices Are Scheduled to Vote on Review Appeal Today; Five Votes Are Needed for New Trial. By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Bruno Richard Hauptmann’s appeal to the Supreme Court to review his conviction for the kidnaping and slaying of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. is to be decided by a secret vote of the nine venerable justices today, but the stolid German carpenter won t know the result until Monday. In its closely-guarded conference chamber the court is scheduled to weigh Hauptmann's contention that he was not given a fair trail in Flemington, N. J., where he was sentenced to die in the electric chair at Trenton for the crime. The outcome will not be known until Monday, when the court convenes at noon for its regular session devoted to decisions in a number of cases. Delay Execution A decision to review the Flemington proceedings automatically would delay Hauptmann’s execution until the court has had an opportunity finally to pass upon the case. Such a delay might last four or five months. A review is granted only when the court is convinced that the petitioner possibly has been denied some of his rights under the Constitution. To upset a conviction of a lower court, five of the nine justices must vote for a reversal. This would permit anew trial. When a review is asked, however, the votes of only four are necessary to have the case brought up for consideration. If the court refuses to review the case, Hauptmann’s last hope for court relief will be removed. An appeal to the New Jersey Board of Pardons -would be the next step. Failing in that, Hauptmann's lawyers might resort to other legal strategy such as asking anew trial on newly discovered evidence.

3 Million Loan to Give City Modern Car System Public Service Commission Authorizes Rehabilitation of Transportation With PWA Funds. Borrowing of $3,120,000 from the Public Works Administration by Indianapolis Railways, Inc., in order to give Indianapolis a modern transportation system, has been authorized by the Public Service Commission. Approximately $1,000,000 of the loan will be spent for labor, it was and the remainder on extensive improvement and modernization. A raise in rates will not be neces- I

sary to pay off the loan, according to informed persons. Hearing Held Oct. 14 Hearing on the loan petition was held Oct. 14 with Chairman Perry McCart ordering commission experts to make a study of the railway company's ability to meet its loan obligations. Arthur L. Gilliom appeared for the railway and James E. Deery, city corporation counsel, for the city. Fred A. Wiecking, then public counselor and now appellate judge, appeared for the commission. Part of the PWA loan will be used to purchase 57 new trackless trolleys and ten new gasoline busses. Trackless trolley lines will replace street cars on all routes except N. Illinois-st, College-av, Shelby-st, E. and W. Washington-st and E. Mich-igan-sts. Merger and Changes Other proposed changes include merger of the present Lincoln and Minnesota car lines on the South Side into a trackless trolley route with semi-crosstown service. Centralav street car line will be changed to trackless trolley and include the Meridian Heights spur to be extended from 52d to 56th-st. The loan is expected to permit construction of 26 miles of single track and permit completion of the company's 10-year modernization program by next year. A total of $1,700,000 will be spent to rebuild the central repair shops, storehouses, garage and office at the W. Wash-ington-st car barns. Sixty-five per cent of the program has been completed, according to James P. Tretton. vice president and general manager of the company.

Flagged Out The risky business of climbing out on the Statehouse dome has resulted in banishment of Old Glory from the dome flagstaff. Gov. McNutt pointed out that flag etiquette demands the flag be taken down at night, but that it had to be left flying several times because few men cared to make a business of climbing out on the dome to take it down. The flag still flies every day, however, from a staff on the Statehouse grounds.

Haile’s Quarters at War Front Attacked by Air Raiders. HOSPITAL IN PROTEST Shelling From Skies Called ‘Brutal’ by Group of Doctors. Hi) l Mill'd Pei ss ADDIS ABABA, Dec. 7. Italian airplanes bombed Dessye at 8 a. m. today, an official* dispatch said. It was the second bombardment in 24 hours, and it was conducted while American and other Red Cross workers still were working on the men, women and children injured in the bombardment of yesterday. Emperor Haile Selassie is at his war headquarters there. News of today’s bombardment was flashed from the field wireless station at Dessye. Seven doctors, either Red Cross workers or members of the staff of the Adventist hospital at Dessye, protested formally today against what they called Italy's “atrocious, cruel demonstration’’ yesterday. They charged that three squadrons, each of four planes, for an hour bombed Dessye with explosive incendiary bombs, causing the death or wounding of several dozens of people. “We formally declare,” said the doctors, “that the first bombs were dropped on Red Cross ambulances on which international emblems were hoisted, holding 65 sick and wounded, and bearing a Red Cross on its roof. The instrument room and two wards were completely destroyed. An annex 100 yards distant was struck. A surgical tent from ambulance No. 5, 200 yards distant, was set afire and destroyed.” Rome Announces Raid Hu United Press ROME. Dec. 7.—Eighteen Italian airlanes bombed Dessye today, it was officially announced. Today’s formal communique made the first reference to yesterday’s raid. It quoted Marshal Pietro Badoglio as saying that yesterday’s bombing was effective, despite violent anti-aerial action. It said the bombs were dropped after the squadron reconnoitered and observed an encampment of several tens of thousands of armed Ethiopians in the vicinity of the town.

The warring factions buried differences long enough to maintain the cabinet of Premier Pierre Laval in office but ended their own temporary truce. Laval Seeking ‘Way Out’ Hi) Unit I'd Press PARIS, Dec. 7.—France and Great Britain began a last effort to find a basis for peaceable settlement of the Italian-Ethiopian crisis today before the League “general staff” sets a date for imposition of new penalties against Italy. The importance of the effort may be judged by the fact that its complete failure can mean war in the Mediterranean if not on the continent of Europe. Premier Pierre Laval awaited Sir Samuel Hoare, British foreign secretary. at the Quai d'Orsay. In final preparation for his talk with Hoare, Laval received Vittorio Cerruti, Italian ambassador.

Cyprus—Four Brit* ish destroyers arrive, reinforcing naval strength guarding Sues Canal. By t nited Prist ROME, Dec. 7.—Premier Benito Mussolini today declared Italy’s unfaltering determination to pursue its war against Ethiopia, despite tha infliction of sanctions by world powers, until the East African war reaches a solution entirely satisfactory to Italy. Italy’s “counter-sanctions are a legitimate defense,” he cried to the Chamber of Deputies. “No coalition can defeat us,” he roared in beginning his speech. II Duce had been given an enthusiastic reception, the assembled deputies cheering him wildly. The dictator of Italy immediately attacked the penalties proposed by the League of Nations and announced that Italy considered count-er-measures a legitimate recourse. “To those governments and nations who protested against application of Article 16 (of the Covenant of the League of Nations), we send our present and future sympathy,” Mussolini said. Cheered by Deputies The reference to the nation* which refused to vote for the application of economic and military sanctions against Italy was cheered by the deputies. The nations to which Mussolini referred were Austria, Albania and Hungary and in part Switzerland, which agreed to penalties with reservations. Article 16 of the Leagua Covenant provides for penalties against an aggressor nation. Italy must clarify its position in East Africa “once and for all,” the stocky Italian leader asserted. Talks Only 15 Minutes 11 Duce said that negotiations were in progress but that in the meantime the Italian people, who love facts more than words, would continue to support the advance of their armies, confident of victory. “On the 365th day of sanctions we will have the same courage and the same determination as on the first day.” Mussolini declared. Mussolini finished after speaking for 15 minutes, and left the chamber immediately. Thereupon the chamber adjourned its sessions until next Tuesday.
