LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. s.
Trained carrier pigeons are bring
ing narcotics across the border from

Hundreds Of these pigeons, each
carrying a moisture-proof package OF

CONFESSION FORCED
BY THIRD DECREE
REFUSED BY COURT

RICHMOND. Va, Dec. 4.-Dcclar
ing the testimony Of how the police
obtained an alleged confession from
Joseph Enoch 'reads like a page
from The InQuisition," judge D. c.
Richardson, in hustings court here
today, refused to allow the docu
ment to be presented as evidence in
the trial of Enoch for the murder Of
Miss Celia Shevick in April, last.
Judge Richardson said it was easy
to understand how one situated as
was the prisoner at police head
quarters would sign such a state
ment.
The alleged confession is regarded
by attorneys in the case as the most
damaging link in chain of evidence
which the police claimed to have
woven around Enoch. Hearing of
evidence and arguments on it's ad-
instability into the trial consumed
three days, during which the jury
was closeted in charge of court Off
GERS. The defense contended that
the alleged admission was extorted
from Enoch after he had been de-
prived of food and sleep and had
been subjected to abuse at the hands
Of police, while the latter bitterly
denied that accusation, and, through
Chief C. A. Sperry, asked Judge
Richardson to inquire into their
methods.
Judge Richardson, in his ruling
on the question, said, in part:
''The bill of rights, which is now
a part of the constitution, provides
as follows: Nor shall any man be
compelled in any criminal proceed
ings to give evidence against him
SELF
''But i! is also a law Of this COM
monwealth that the voluntary con-
fessions or admissions of any per-
son accused of crime may be used
in evidence against him.
1.-The evidence of the police Off
GERS as to the manner and methods
by which the alleged confession of
the accused was obtained reads like
a chapter from the history of the
1nquisitiOn of the Middle Ages.
Il do not see how any one with an
unbiased mind can hear or read that
evidence without coming to the con-
clusion that the accused was com.
PEELED by mental torture and phys
ical exhaustion to give evidence
against himself, and that the al
legged confession was not a voluntary
confession within the meaning of
the law.
L, therefore, decide that the al
legged confession is inadmissible as
evidence against the accused.
do not express any opinion as
to the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused, as the evidence in the case

AUBREY N|CKELS
GIVEN ANOTHER
LEASE ON LIFE

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Dec. A.
Aubree Lee Nickels was given an
other lease on life today when the
state supreme court ordered that it's
mandate be recalled from the cir
cult court of Volusia county, that
the case be reinstated on the docket
of the court mad that a rehearing
be granted on the question of
whether a writ of error coram nobis
should have been granted in the
case by the circuit judge.
The courts opinion expressly
states that the question of the guilt
or innocence of Nickels cannot be
considered in this proceeding, but
that the rehearing is granted so that
the court may again consider the
question whether the transcript of
the record brought to the court on
writ of error duly shows that Nickels
pleaded guilty under such fear or
duress as to render the plea a
nullity and the subsequent pro-
ceedings on the Indictment invalid.
Action of the court was taken on
d plea VI JdIIlSS Ii. DllIlCIls VI JAIN
sonville, counsel for Nickels, who
filed with the curt several days ago
an extraordinary motion asking that
the court reopen the case which it
already had twice declined to inter
fere with. Mr.. Bunch argued that
the plea Of guilt entered by Nickels
was made by reason of fear of per-
social injury in the court room and
of mob violence, which, he claimed
was void and also nullified all fur
Their proceedings of the lower court,
including the sentence of death
which was passed on May l, 1928.
To execute Nickels under the sem
tence thus passed, the attorney de-
clared would be without due process
of law as provided in the state and
federal legislation"
Withdrawal of it's mandate by the
supreme court marks the third time
the death warrant called for execu-
ton of Nickels has been recalled.
Following his conviction, of the
charge of attacking a white woman,
of DeLand, on December 8, 1921, a
warrant was issued by the governor
setting the date of execution for
June 81, 1922. This was nulliied by
granting of a reprieve, after which
the board of pardons turned down a
plea for communication of sentence.
The second death document was is
sued, fixing the time of execution
for August %, 1922, but counsel for
N.ckels obtained a writ of error and
carried the case to the supreme
| court, which refused to interfere
I with the judgment of the lower
court both on the petition for a new
trial and on the motion to reopen
| the case.
The case then was carried before

declined to commute the sentence,
and the third death warrant was is
sued November "a fixing date OF

Nicotine Found Good

ate commonly used in poisoning the
pest have been obtained by the South

Tests have been under way for sew

and comparison of results obtained
by the use of the nicotine showed
that it was as effective as the cal

The nicotine is applied as dust,
