CHARGES AGAINST WARDTHOUGHTT TO| BE HOPELESS NOW
Prosecution Ends Its Case Suddenly And Collapse
 Is Predicted

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Sept. 25..- With the secrets of the Ward family still oncealod-secrets which Wal ter s. Ward asserts caused Clarence J. Peters to blackmail him and led to his shooting Peters-the prosecu- tion ended it's case Tuesday against the heir to the baking millions.
 The state had thrown little fresh light on events on the White Plains pike the night of May 15, and the sudden move of the prosecution was received as an indication that the case against Ward had collapsed.
 Nevertheless, Justice Robert Wag- her declined a half dozen formal re- quests by the defense to free Ward of the first and second degree mur- der charges without letting the case go to the jury. Such evidence as has already been submitted, Wagner ruled, must be passed on by the jurors.
 Isaac N. Mills, attorney for Ward said the defense would insist on a verdict on charge of manslaughter, in order to end forever Wards jeopardy for the shooting. The de- fense will begin it's presentation Wednesday morning. Mills has not ii'dicated what witnesses he will put on the stand.

 Ky Figuring Backward

We are all not. only spiritual but actual blood brothers under the skin. Here is the method by which Charles Sachs, insurance expert, works it out. A generation comprises about twen- ty-eight years. Each of us one gen. eration back must have had two par ents, two generations back four grandparents; still one more genera tion, eight great grandparents, and so on, progressively, untils ws gleam the astonishing fact that each per- son living must have had in thirty generations-less than $50 years-di- r. rect individual ancestors to the num- Der of 1,073,741,S24.
