COVADONGA TO HAVE COMMONER'S BURIAL

Absolved Girl in Crash, Secretary Says.

MIAMI, Sept. 8 (U. P). — No royalty will attend the funeral of His Royal Highness, the Count of Covadonga, this afternoon. Born to royalty, once heir to the throne of Spain, he made the error of marrying a commoner, and there was no indication of forgiveness for him even after death. His parents, the former King and Queen of Spain, conveyed instructions to his secretary, Jack Fleming, that simple, Catholic rites were to be performed over his body, whereupon it was to be buried in acemetery here. The Count was killed Tuesday when the auto in which he was riding piled into a tree. The car was being driven by Mildred (Merry Millie) Gaydon, 25, a cabaret cigaret girl. Miss Gaydon has been charged with manslaughter, but Mr. Fleming revealed that the Count had absolved her of any blame before he died. Mr. Fleming will testify at a coroner's inquest tomorrow in behalf of the girl,

G. A. R. Parader, 103, Dues; Local Woman Given Post

DES MOINES, Iowa, Sept. 8 (U.

P.) —The Grand Army of the Re-

public mourned today the loss of one of its most courageous members, Col. William Henry Singleton, 103, believed to have been the only commissioned Negro officer in the Civil War. He died of a heart attack last night after he had participated with his comrades in the annual parade of the national G. A. R. His wife said the strain of the long journey from their New Haven, Conn. home and excitement of the parade apparently had induced his death.,

His courage was typical of that?

of his 118 comrades who defied 90degree heat and tired bodies to parade for 15 blocks through downtown streets. The majority rode in autos, but Commander-in-Chief O. H. Mennet mustered 38 marchers. Thirty-six walked the full distance. One retired voluntarily at the request of friends. The other, George Gay, 89, Nashua, N. H, fighting back tears of humiliation, broke ranks, and grasped the hand of a friend. “I'm terribly ashamed,” he said, “but I couldn't make it. I just got tired.” Proudly carrying the American flag at the head of his comrades was W. H. Chesbrough, 93, Beloit, Wis, national color sergeant.

“For 10 years I have carried the

flag,” he said. “I won't quit now.” As the veterans lined up for the

15-block ‘march, those who planned to walk moved about spryly. S. M. Phelps, 98, Jericho Springs, Mo., was the oldest veteran who insisted he would walk. Physicians Stand By

The youngest was Capt. Eugene Merrick, 84, Los Angeles, Cal, who enlisted in the last year of the war when he was 11. “I went as a soldier, too,” he said. “I carried a gun, not a drum.” Samuel Emerson, 97, Skowhegan, Me., was another who defied age to march. The U. S. Marine Band, resplendent in marching uniforms, headed the procession. At every corner along the line of march a physician, with white band around his arm was stationed to care for any emergency cases which might arise.

Two Boy Scouls were in each

block, ready to assist. First aid stations were established along the route, augmented by numerous drug stores. Ambulances were held in readiness.

Mrs. Stammel Gets Post

The veterans decided to hold the 1939 encampment at Pittsburgh. The vote was 100 to 16 over Grand Rapids, Mich., the only other city which had actively sought the meeting. Chicago, Gary, Ind. and Rochester, N. Y. had extended invitations by mail. Mrs. Edwina P. Trigg, Kansas City, was elected national president of the Ladies of the G. A. R. Mrs. Nellis Stammel, Indianapolis, was chosen senior vice president. Mrs. Rhoda Denney Moss, Seattle, Wash., was elected president of the National Woman's Relief Corps, auxiliary to the G. A. R. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Blake, Framingham, Mass., was chosen senior vice president; Miss Minnie Lewis, Mitchell, S. D, junior vice president; and Miss Grace L. Johnson, Toledo, O., treasurer,

HINES’ DEFENSE REVOLVES UPON FRAMEUP CLAIM

Opens With Plea for Dismissal of Indictment in Lottery Case.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8 (U. P).— The defense of Tammany Leader James J. Hines opened today with a plea for dismissal of the 13-count indictment that may send him to prison for 27 years on charges of having sold protection to the Dutch Schultz lottery racket. Defense Atterney Lloyd P. Stryker was to present a motion assailing the character of most of the State's 51 witnesses; branding 4000 pages of testimony a “frameup,” and arguing that the charges were erroneous and that lottery banking was of itself a trivial offense because people bought the chances voluntarily. He was attempting in one swoop to destroy the State's case that closed yesterday after a witness told of 4 prophetic warning made to Hines and the gangsters three years ago: That they would find the newly appointed rackets investigator, Thomas E. Dewey, “a rough tough, relentless prosecutor.”

Motion to Be Argued

Stryker was to submit copies of his motion to District Attorney Dewey and Judge Ferdinand Pecora. Court was to convene at noon (Indianapolis Time) for arguments on the motion. It was believed that the arguments would require the rest of the day and that a recess then would be taken until Monday. A recess had been called for Friday because of the funeral of Patrick Cardinal Hayes. Saturday is a customary court holiday. The State's final blow was delivered by James D. C. Murray, a famous criminal lawyer, who testified that in June, 1935, he was approached by J. Richard (Dixie) Davis, general counsel for the Schultz racket. Davis asked him to go to a golf course where they were to meet Hines. Davis, who was indicted with

POLICE CHECK STORY FOR KIDNAPING CLUES

MARYSVILLE, Cal, Sept. 8 (U. P.) —A story told by Mary Blake, 28, of being held prisoner by three men whom she suspected of being the kidnapers of Mrs. William R. Meeks, 55, was investigated by Sutter County authorities today. Arrested on charges of intoxica-

Hines, pleaded guilty and turned state’s evidence, previously had said that he took Murray with him because he was having trouble convincing Hines of the seriousness of the appointment of Dewey as rackets prosecutor, and he believed Hines might be impressed by hearing Murray's ideas. Called Dewey “Tough” Murray said they went to the golf course accompanied by George Weinberg, Schultz's operations manager who also turned state's evidence, and Hope Dare, Davis’ showgirl sweetheart. “What happened?” Dewey asked. “Mr. Davis stated (to Hines) in substance that he understood that Mr. Dewey's name had been submitted as a special prosecutor and he said to Mr. Hines: ‘Jim Murray knows more about Dewey than I do. What kind of a guy is he?’ I said ‘He is a rough, tough, relentless prosecutor. I defended the first criminal case that he prosecuted in Federal Court’ I said I was of the opinion that he would indict anyone that he had evidence against, regardless of who he was.” Prophecy Fulfilled

“What did Davis say then?” “He said ‘Something will have to be done about it,” Murray replied. “Did Davis say anything about the effects of an appointment?” “He said that you would indict half the people in New York and destroy them.” “What did Hines say to that?” “He said: ‘We’ll see about that.” Murray spoke directly to Dewey, emphasizing the irony and coincidence of the moment when the gangsters’ fears and his own prophecy were being fulfilled. It was the culmination of Dewey’s case against Hines; the climax of his gang-smashing career.
