ME Hicksville town hall was a
scene of wild confusion. 1t
was late afternoon. The nu-
merous performers for an
amateur program that was scheduled
for the evening wandered aimlessly
about. save for the moments when
they were actually in rehearsal.
At one side of the hall a costume
committee, almost buried under a
mass of properties, struggled with
needles and pins and paste to COM

John Llndsay's sisters. her usually
pale cheeks flushed with excitement,

 Angeles Speaks
 To Local Rotes

Members of the Birmingham Rot ary club were treated to a decided ly novel type of entertainment while at Camp Andrews as the guests of the Boy Scouts yesterday. A pow erful receiving set to which was at tached the enormous power ampli- fer used by the Bernheim Electric company was mounted in the dining room. At precisely 2:30 o'clock the machine was turned in and a dis tant operator announced that J. w.. Donnelly, president of the Birming- ham Rotary club, wished to ad- dress his organization from Los Angeles where he is attending tho International Rotary convention.
 MT. Donnelly made short talk and then the operator introduced Ed. Andrews, w. D. Nesbitt and Thorn ton Estes, all of whom made appro- priate talks to their brother Rotari- ans. The space between the talks was occupied with various musical selections and a program lasting about 20 minutes was enjoyed.
 The method used in delivering the radio concert was discovered by Dan B. Dimick, who consulted the Ala bama Power company and arranged to transmit the talks from their sta- ton, WSY, on Powell avenue. Love man, Joseph and Loeb installed the receiving station. which enabled the Rotarians to listen to who they sup posed to be their Instant friends.

PRETTY WIDOW OF
 FESTUS HUGHES IS
 NOW FREE WOMAN
State Moves to Quash IndiCt- ment After Preliminary Hearing Gets Under Way;
 Woman Refuses Bond

Mrs. Hester Hughes. pretty
 young widow of Festus Hughes.
 Tuscaloosa merchant who WAS
 slain at his late home last Feb-
 ruary, returned to Birmingham
 yesterday a free woman after her
 preliminary trial had not prog
 ressed five minutes when the
 state moved to quash the indict-
 ment.
 The bereaved woman nlso
 gained custody of her eight-year-
 old son, Paul, the court having
 dismissed hnbeas corpus proceed
 ings which were set for a later
 date and the mother and son de-
 parted from the Druids City for
 Birmingham where they will
 make their future home.
 Protesting her guilt, the widow of the dead man bravely faced the charges brought by Mrs, Jim Hughes. her mother-in-law and refusing to accept bail for a later appearance and demanding speedy action. Att torneys for the accused woman were successful in what was termed a master stroke In legal parlance in urging immediate action on the mur- der charge.
 q knew that I would come free" Mrs. Hughes siad last night at the home of her sister with whom she will make her home. But behind the smile which played over her face as a gentle breeze dailied with her hair, there was 8 sad story which shall ever finger with her, the night when startled from her sleep by the shot which snuffed from him the life of her husband in their home, was q tragedy which has not left other than sorrow for her.
 That she loved him devotedly, she reiterated again last night as she did on last Sunday when she pleaded her innocence from behind prison bars at the city Jail. Next to the crime itself was the accusation which followed, charging me with the whole thing, and God himself knows I am innocent. I have always kept faith in the Diety and thus account for my freedom" she said. When a person is innocent, l believe the Lord pro- vides," she declared.
 Mrs. Hughes was arrested at the home of her sister last Saturday night after she had left Tuscaloosa nearly four months after the tragedy be- cause she said parents of her dead husband bounded her and sought to take her young eight-year-old son, Paul. from her. She was returned to Tuscaloosa Monday morning in custody of City Detective H. C--Pe- vealer following her arrest by W. l.. Brannon, chief of the Identification bureau, and Eddie A. Lyons. detective sergeant of the central police sta- tion.
