DENIES FATHERS PLEA.
Judge Refuses to Amend Divorce
Decree Relating to Child.

Justice Hoehling OF the District
Supreme Court has denied a re-
quest OF James Q. Richards for an
amendment of decree for limited
divorce recently awarded his wife,
Helen Richards, so that he might
have the custody of his infant daugh-
ter on Sundays. AS the baby is
only two years old and as the evil
dence at the trial showed the father
had little interest in it because it
did not happen to be boy, the court
denied the request.
1.-THE fa4 THAT the baby is but two
years OLD, said Justice Hoehling,
would suggest the inadvisibility Of
permitting it to be taken away from
the mother, even for a few hours; in
addition, the mental attitude of the
father toward the child, as expressed
by him in words, would suggest that
at the present, at least, the applica-
ton should not be granted" Richards
will be permitted to see the child on
Sundays at the mothers home for two
hours, If desired.

SCOTT SENTENCED
ode ON GALLONS
Former Financial Wizard
Found Guilty of Numbering
Cigar Store Clerk.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, December IA jury
after 45 minutes deliheration last
night found Russell Scott, former
Canadian financial wizard, guilty of
the murder of Joseph Maurer, 10
yaar-old cigar clerk, during a hold
up last April, and fixed his punish
ment at death on the gallows. The
jury took two ballots.
Scott, who had been near collapse
during the day As he heard attorneys
for the State ask the jury to hang
him, accepted the verdict calmly. He
turned pale as the word guilty"
was pronounced, and was rushed back
o the county Jail before being given
an opportunity to make a statement.
Young Scott, at one time a wealthy
Canadian construction engineer was
indicted with his brother Robert for
the Staying of young Maurer, clerk
in downtown drug store, who was
shot to death when two bandits tried
to hold up the drug store one night
about 10 o'clock.
Robert Scott was never appre-
hended, and during the trial the de-
Tense attempted to prove that Robert
and not Russell fired the fatal shot.
At one time Russell Scott on advice
of his attorney pleaded guilty. The
Judge before whom the plea was
entered Immediately indicated that
Scott would he sentenced to hang, and
both Scott and his lawyer burst into
Tears and made a request to with
draw the guilty plea, which they were
allowed to do when an error was
found.
Identified as Slayer.
During the trial Scott had been
identified as the slayer by two Gus
1omers who were in the store at the
time of the shooting. He had main
tanned on the witness stand that his
brother shot Maurer. and his attor-
neys in their closing statement to the
jury charged that the drug store pro-
prietor had testified against Scott in
order to save his own hide" it being
charged by the defense that Scott and
his brother had gone TO the drug
store to buy liquor.
Counsel for Scott made a motion
Judge Lynch for hearing on January
3. Sco~ was hurried back to the
county Jail Immediately after the YER
dict was reported.
Jacob Maurer, father of the slain
youth, expressed satisfaction over the
verdict.
Il have seen the body of my own
son that Scott killed" he said. Now
] want to see the body of Scott"
1t was one of the quickest hanging
Nerdicts ever reached. Bert Cronson,
assistant States attorney, said. Scott,
he said, had confessed to committing
80 robberies.

Efforts to run down this story, which

ing hearings at Chicago, but they proved
fruitless. Members Of the committee
said they still put little or no credence
in IL.
Senator Caraway's proposal against
expending in one State campaign funds
collected in another is predcated upon
evidence in the inquiry that the great
bulk of the funds expended by the Re-
publican national committee was raised
In three States-New York Pennsyl-
yania and IIlinois-and the major part
of that spent by the Democratic national
committee came from two States, one Of
them New York.
Senator Caraway said Il was contrary
to public policy for such a practice to
be continued He declared that if per-
sons in one State hoped to gain no ad-
vantage by contributing for expendi-
lures in another State they should not
be asked for money, and that il they did
have something to gain the practice
should be stopped since the result would
only compound an undue influence which
they already have.
