FAVOR FIVE VOTES
 FOR ZONE CHANGES
Adjustment Board to Continue
 Original Policy

Five concurring votes will be re- quired to permit special exceptions from zoning regulations at least un- til such time as appeal is taken to the courts and a decision is render ed contrary to board of adjustment procedure, conversation with mem- bers of the board indicates.
 Members Of this commission are in disagreement on this point. Judge Bernard F. Gaffney has declared five concurring votes are required only when city department is to be overruled, and in his opinion, the majority vote principle applies in all other instances. He enunciated this principle at the last meeting and after a long drawn out discussion of the zone law a vote was taken.
 Judge Gaffney alone went on rec
 ord as of the opinion that a special exception had been granted the Ma sonic Temple Corporation by req son of its having received major ity vote. Those whose votes accord ing to minutes of the meeting were contrary to Judge Gaffney's ,stand are. Chairman William E. Atwood George T. Kimball. George R. Dob- son. S. NJ. Davidson, Judge J. F.. Cooper and P. F. McDonough.
 Judge Cooper has expressed a de- sire to have the courts determine this point as soon as possible and also to have the courts say whether discretionary powers are vested in the board of adjustment, which is another point on which there is a disp ute. Judge Gaffney today de- clared his view to be the same as that of Judge Cooper since he, too, would be interested in following the court ruling.

CTS and the courtroom as whole questions asked.
 It's interesting to watch the diff ferent reactions of the newspaper men. Some are forever writing, too busy even to look up a, any time. Others seem to take down just the big joints. Some seem tremendously interested, while others appear de- tached.
 The few people who are merely -rectators and have no official busi-
 at the trial seem to be having
 1e of their lives. All of them,
 fly. have formed opinions as
 S guilty and who Is not;
 'em like the way the trial
 conducted and others don't.
 them agree. however. that
 fetty good entertainment.
 ntertainmeht! Think of 1t! My
 Ter murdered, and some of these
 lie making a holiday of the trial!
 zee persons on trial for their lives
 amuSe handful of spectators! Yeatinr
 when this trial Is over I don't ant to see anotlser one as long as live I'm tired and disgusted. Only he memory of my mother lying here in the open, bullets in her poor p.dv, her throat cut, sustains my sinking courage. someone should be punished for that crime. Justice must be done.
 But I wish it were ali over.
 Cries Over Mothers, Love
 Again my mothers heart was laid bare in the court room today. l cried when Aunt Elsie Barnhardt told how mother loved MT. Hall. It was easy for anyc 1e to see that they were in love, Aunt Elsie said, and it was, too, I knew it, as young ana innocent as I was, thev didn't seem ashamed. Their lo' : was every thing. and nothing else mattered. An tt Elsie told how they were plan min z to go away to Japan as soon as T had finished high school. O, why aid, they wait? If they hadn't been too. considerate of me. they might have been living happily together now, man and wife.
 That's one reason why I cried to- day. It seemed some way that l was the obstacle to their happiness that l was to blame for their deaths. Aunt Elsie told how Mrs. Hall seemed angry at pr. Halls atten- tions to mother a whole year before the murder. I know that, too. Once mother told me how on a picnic Mrs. Hall looked at her very strangely out of the bushes when EDr. Hall was covering her with a .obe after she had almost fainted. Mother told me she was frlghten- 2 ed. and hoped she never would see such a look on anyone's face again. Sometimes I wonder if she ever did. >t The driver of the hearse that took poor Dr. Halls body to the cemetery testified that he saw scratches on Mrs. Halls face What will the de- fense make Of that?
