miss Washington" and Max
inc Brown Heard Perfectly
by Listeners-ln
By LISTENER-IN

Flying high over the city yester-
day afternoon in the comfortable
cabin of the enormous SikorslSy
plane which is touring the Eastern
States for the American Legion,
we watched Maxine Brown, The
sweetheart Of the Air. and Abbie
Virginia Eagan, Miss Washing
ton" broadcast to the listeners be-
low.
The word watch is used adj
visedly because although we sat
less than a. yard from the micro
phone we could not hear word
that went into 1t, although listen
ers on the ground below reported
perfect. reception.
1t was a great achievement. With
huge Liberty H. motors roaring
on each side OF the cabin, making
communication between the broad
casters and the announcer ifnpoS-
sible, Miss Washington gave her
little talk and Miss Brown rendered
a short group of songs, accompany
ing herself on the luke.
The ~nstal practice Of the aerial
broadcasters has been to ascend
to about 5000 feet and then glide
while the program was being broad
cast in order to avoid the motor
roar.
But the use Of a nicrophone
which only registers sound waves
which come to 1t at an exact right
angle to it's surface eliminated the
necessity for gliding.
AS soon as we left the ground at
Boiling Field and were high enough
to drop the wire which is used for
an aerial, the program began and
continued until we started to drop
and the aerial had to be drawn in
again.
KlaPl1 and Jacobs, the ballroom
entertainers who have featured the
dance program from LIE Paradis the
past two weeks are the best llar-
monizers we have listened to over.
the local air In weeks and weeks.
If they continue on the lie Paradis
bills they are bound to be about the
most popular feature on the local
air.
Ten minutes of entertainment by
those two sets a dance program off
right, particularly when the orches-
ira sings it's own numbers. Klark
and Jacobs are offering the kind
of radio entertainment Washington
has been sadly lacking and we hope
they will continue to harmonize
with Meyer Daviss organization.

guilty of. indecent assault upon
another prisoner at Sing Sing.
AS I have already pointed out, 1t
was not customary to air such
cases in public-the prison records
proved that. The Stanton case
was used merely as a pretext for
getting Osborne into court. The
outcome of the Stanton trial was
an indictment for perjury against
Osborne. and an additional mis-
demeanor indictment of six counts,
including a thinly lveiled accusa-
ton of immortality.

cant that a charge of immortality,
to be substantiated. should have
been made in the form of felony

petence, or neglect Of duty, for
instance--it was hoped to stamp
Osborne as deficient in moral
stamina.
The indictment for perjury was
tried before Judge Tonpkins AZ
White Plains. Without presenta'
ton of any defense whatsoever
the court ordered a verdict of ac-
uuittal and rebuked the prosecu-
ton. The misdemeanor Indictment
was carried to the appellate court
on demurrer, and count after
count was deleted, leaving the
instrument in such shape that
the district attorney did not press
1t to trial. When that district at
torney was defeated for reelection
his successor, in asking for dis.
nnissal Of the case, stated that the
evidence upon which the indict-
ment had been secured would not
stand up in the court.
Osborne, tired and worn out,
applied for leave Of absence,
stipulating that Doctor George
w. Kirchwey, former dean Of the
Columbia Law School in New
York, should take his place. That
program was carried out. But
shortly after Kirchwey took
charge at Sing Sing. Riley, still

carried the matter to the gov

The governor demanded Riley's
resignation. Riley declined, stat

that Clinton prison was not re.

Kirchwey produced letter writ

that letter the governor forced
