LOS ANGELES, Calf, July 8. -
After sleepless night in which he
was continually haunted by the vision
of Miss FTieda Lesser. his sweetheart,
whom he says he murdered, Harry s..
New today awaited his first view Of
the body since he left it in his sedan
at police headquarters during the
dawn of Saturday morning.
Il couldn't Sleep" he said this
morning Whenever I closed my eyes,
Frieda appeared before me and would
not leave"
New was noticeably shaken Au-
thorities said that New this afternoon
probably would be permitted to view
the body Of Miss Lesser during the
inquest. Two days ago he expressed
wish to see her.
Indications We're that he will be
spared the ordeal of facing the mother
of the girl whom he killed. Mrs. Alice
Lesser, the mother, seemed too Ill this
morning to be permitted to attend the
inquest scheduled for 1870 this after
noon.

Revelations of the inquest and
autopsy today over the body of Miss
Frieda Lesser, shot and killed by
Harry S. New, who claims to be the
son of United States Senator Harry
Is. New, of Indiana, are expected to
form the first big determining step
in the disposition of News remark
able crime.
New, himself, has for the first time
showed interest in saving himself
from the gallows and court fight
lis now expected.
Il fear just one thing in all the
world-mother," he declared in hin
cell today. For her l hope to de-
fend myself"
His defense, his friends say. will
be insanity.
The statement in Washington by
Senator New. in which he is quoted
as admitting that he had known
the accused mans mother thirty
years ago and which concluded
with declaration that he would not
shirk a responsibility, was taken
here as proof that Harry News ex-
pressed confidence that the. man
whom he claims as his father would
aid him, has at least some founda-
ton.
New spent another almost sleep
less night last night, but today
reiterated his declaration that fears
that he might attempt suicide are
groundless.
81 haven't the slightest intention
of hanging myself" he declared.
At the same time it became known
that yelled threats against New had
been heard, and he will be heavily
guarded when he goes to the inquest
today, police said.

to be involved in the outcome of the
autopsy. The state board of medical
examiners admitted an investigation

ton on Miss Lesser, has been start

there was a possibility of a criminal
prosecution.

Reaction Each Day.

One of the most plausible explana-
tions for continued upward moves of
such skyrockets as Mexican Petroleum.

meteoric tendencies Is that the daily

their own technical correction, and
despite advances the position of these
stocks and of others which have en-
joyed similar advances 10 technically

will be recalled. that on practically every
market day there have been two swings
to the highly speculative stocks They
have advanced seldom continuously dur
ing q market day. The theory put for
ward-a wide move forward, followed
by a similar sharp break downward
has the virtue of shaking Off weakly held
accounts, of increasing the short interest
in the stock and in the long run
of forcing many people who naturally
are afraid of such wild and erratic
movements to pay for their stock In

such a theory Is true, and 1t certainly

That means that the senate must ratify it without the least modifica- ton or amendment or else reject it altogether, and, of course, if it re- jects it, the peace treaty must also be rejected, since they are to be inseparably united, and we shall have to remain at war with Ger many.
