CASE DEFENDED
o'Leary Insists Builders OF H.
Fated Theater Are criminalIy
Responsible.

Concluding bis argument in de-
fense OF the indictment charging five
men with granddaughter in connec'
ton with the death of ninety-seven
persons January 2S last in the knick-
erbocker Theater collapse. Assistant
District Attorney James J. O'Leary,
addressing Justice Siddons, presiding
I'm Criminal Court. No. 2, today. said
he hoped he would not live to see the
day when any court will declare as a
matter Of law that on the facts OF
this case there was no criminal re.
sponsibiiity.
O'Leary likewise criticised the
statement OF counsel for the accused
that II the indictment is sustained II
would result in stopping building op'
erations in this city.
O'Leary said:
"I cannot believe that builders gen
orally are guilty OF the gross negli'
gence admitted by this demurrer; but
II what defendants counsel say Is
true. then II is high time that stop
be put to building operations which
ignore the very purpose for which
governments are ordained and estab
lished, namely. the security OF the
lives of the public"
The prosecutor urged that no mat
ter how influential or wealthy, the
law should be applied to them II they
are lawbreakers as well as 1t applies
to the lowly and poor.
District Attorney Peyton Gordon
in replying to the argument thai
there was a misjoinder Of parties and
offenses, said that the defendants
had Joined in a gigantic enterprise
which of necessity required the CO
operation Of many persons, and called
attention to the provision In the cod'
that all aiders and abettors In thu
commission of a crime should b'
charged as principals, and that thu
| indictment so charges.
Each Of the counsel for the fiV'
indicted men will be given an oppor
tunity to reply to the arguments o.

Husband Has Radio
Craze So Wife
Asks Divorce

And now comes radio in the
divorce courts, following close
ly OF the heels of the case of
the New York woman who
charged that her husband neg
lected her for golf.
Mrs. Elizabeth Roediger
Tibhs. in filing suit for divorce
against j. Fletcher Tibbs,
charges that her husband "has
developed a fascination for ra-
dio, spending all of his time
reading about this invention
and all his spare money on radio
outfits"
The radio craze, Mrs. Tibbs
alleges, has caused her hus-
band not only to deprive her of
the entertainment features de-
rived from radio, but also of
the necessary support for her
self.
The wife charges her hus-
band was recently arrested
when the janitor in their apart
ment caught him climbing in a
window of his own apartment
about l o'clock in the morning.
1t is further alleged that the
husband brought home a strange
man to room with them, despite
the wife's objections.
The couple were married at
Ballston, Va, June 26, 1920,
and have one child. Attorneys
James A. O'Shea and Raymond
Neudecker represent the wife.

IS WATCHMEN
RETIRED UNDER
.SHERR|LL RULE
Others in Interior Department
Become Guards" and
Wear Uniforms.

watchmen are no longer watch
men. they are guards in the new
order Of things. Sitting in chairs
does not constitute guarding. there
for guards must stand; civilian
clothes are passe and must be sup
planted by uniforms and last, but
not least. men advanced in age do
not make good guards and this
class of men must leave the serv-
ice.
Briefly, this is what the ninety.
six watchmen in the Interior De-
partment and it's branches. includ.
ing the Patent, Pension and Land
Office, were told on July l when
legislation became effective putting
these watchmen under the super.
vision Of the superintendent OF the
State, War and Navy buildings.
Fifty-Six Men Retired.
As a result, fifty-six of the
watchmen were retired from serv.
ice, being too old for efficient serv-
ice. Forty were retaind and TWEEN.
ty-nine additional men hired, most
OF them ex-service men.
These sixty-nine men were in.
formed that they were guards, not
watchmen. Further, they were in.
structed to purchase uniforms, cost.
ing $50 or more each. Heretofore
guards in the Interior Department
were permitted to work in civilian
clothes.
Another order came. All guards
were told that they must stand
while on duty. They were informed
that rest periods would be given
them. AS a result the chairs which
were placed at the various doors OF
the Interior Department buildings
were removed. Now the men are
relieved every two hours or so and
permitted to take a rest in the
guard room.
Hoover Explains Rules.
Capt. F. w. Hoover. assistant to
Lieut.. Col. c. o. Sheriff., in charge
of public buildings and grounds,
today said the new rules and regu.
lations for guards were effective in
the State, War and Navy Depart
ments.
"As soon as we took over the
watchmen force of the Interior De.
partment we placed them under
the rules effective in other depart.
ments," he said. I'VE found in the
Interior Department many old men
who should be retired. Out Of the
ninety-six men we found only forty
who we retained"
Several complaints have been
made about the new rules, the com.
plainants declaring the guards
should not be compelled to stand
up eight hours a day. Captain
Hoover says the new orders do not
work a hardship on the men and
were made to increase the efficiency
of the guard force.

The earliest settlers of the st.
Croix Valley have been given a spe-
cial invitation to appear in the St,
Croix Valley Pageant at New Rich
mond on the Goth and 9th of July.
The place of honor has been given to
the settlers. They will be driven on
the stage in schooners and wagons, in
real pioneer style, and a speech of tri-
butte will be made in appreciation of
the present generation of the achieve
ments made by the early settlers. the
path finders of the present civiliza-
ton, will be voiced. The pageant it
self shows in the scenes depicted, the
actual life of these pioneers, their
hardships, their joys, their exper-
fences that created a place of civiliza-
ton and culture out of %primative
wilds and it is the request of the per-
formers that the real people of that
time appear so that they may have
the opportunity of expressing their
profound respect and appreciation to
them. All first settlers are invited.
