BICkY'S Ak
FALLS ON
THREE

TAMPA, Fla, March 18.-The
AK fell today for the first time
this season in the camp of the
Griffmen when President Griffith
announced the passing of Frank
MCGEE, first sacker; Cowboy"
Jones, outfielder, and Ray Joyce,
pitcher, to the Birmingham Barons
in the Southern Association.
OF the trio Jones and MCGEE may
receive trials next fall, but Joyce
is not expected to wear a Washing
ton. uniform again. This is his Sec
ond trial here. These players go
to Birmingham in part payment for
Tex Jeanes and StUffy Stewart.
Joe Engel, Washington scout, ar
rived this morning. He will wander
around looking at youngsters
booked TO slide back into the minors
and standing ready to rescue any
third basemen.
Frank McGee will go away with
q strong cord attached to him, ac-
cOrding TO Manager Harris.
MCGEE, who is a fine chap per-
sonally, might force his way into
a lineup that didn't have such all
around wonders as Judge and Joe
Harris" says the Washington
leader. with us, it's different.
He handles himself nicely at first
base and shapes up as a promising
hitter. / think that a year in the
minors, playing every day, ought
to make him a good prospect in an
other year. He is a transformed out
fielder, you know, and first base
play is still d bit strange to him.
1 shall keep a string on him,
though, for | want to see him
year from now"
.Biff McNiff, the newest rookie in
camp, took a long workout yester-
day and Manager Harris watched
him closely. McNiff's form at bat
is good. He is a swinger, gripping
his bat on the end. Manager Harris
seemed TO hold out hope for the
lad. In the field, of course. Nc
Mfr was unable to do his best. He
covered plenty of ground, being in
good physical shape, but he re-
fused to. risk his arm with any long
or speedy pegs. He was content to
take his time, the mark of a wise
player.

10 Ask Hanging

Chicago, Dec. 2O-lP) Harold
Croarkin today confessed he slew
six-year-old Walter Schmith in a
North Side barn loft in panic of
fright after he had attempted to
mistreat the boy, fearing his victim
would tell of his actions.
The admissions of motive came ut
the end of long hours questioning
following the youths voluntary sur
render on Sunday. Previously he
had maintained that he did not know
why he killed the youth. who was
found dying Friday night in the loft
where the attack occurred.
IF this is not hanging case you
might as well abolish the penalty"
States Attorney Grove said early to-
day after he and his aides had gone
over the entire act of the tragedy
with the 26-year-old son of wealthy
flour dealer.
Admits Other Grimes
Police said that Croarkin con-
fessed having taken liberties with
approximately dozen children in
the last three months. As officials
were leaving the criminal courts
he was confronted by c. b. Feeley
Gently.
Asked il Croarkin was the man who
attempted to harm his little girl,
Fcelcy shouted Yes. let me at him
and will save the state the expense
4 Of hanging him."
Mentally Deficient
Harold has always been backward
mentally" said Attorney Francis +.
Croarkin, an uncle of the youth, and
| the one who surrendered him to the
police. "He has only the mentality
of lO-year-old boy. He never could
work and his father kept him at his
place Of business. We knew he was
deficient but we never knew he was
criminally Inclined
Drs William @. Krosn and II
Douglas Singer, psychiatrists, who
testified for the state in the Loeb
Leopold case, disputed this. however,
after examining CrOarkin at the re-
quest Of the states attorney
"He'sN sane" the physician said.
"No 1O-year-old boy could pass the
examinations Croarkn did. When
he was in school he always had
marks Of s5 or 30. We have checked
on his business capabilities and find
he was quite a business man. He

Gives Three Reasons
At various times during his ques-
ti0ning by the prosecutor and police
Croarkin gave three rambling rea-
sons for striking the Schmith boy
down with the blows that crushed the
lads skull. but in the end maintained
that he didn't know why he had com
mtited the deed and wouldn't tell any
more until he had talked to his law
yers.
Once he said he killed him because
he failed to bring him u hottie OF

explanation that II wasn't feeling

again he related that he sent thu

Paris. Dee. tR9--King Ferdin-
and Of Rumania wishes to abdicate
the throne and restore former Crown
Prince Carol to the rights he re-
nounced on January 4. last.
The king made this known to his
ministers at q secret council held in
Bucharest last week, il is learned
from high Rumanian political
source in Paris.
As result Of the kings ultimatum
to his ministers, General COanda was
sent to Paris and already has advised
Ferdinand that Carol is willing to
comply with his fathers wishes, but
under certain conditions.
These are first that King Ferdinand
must acquiesce to Carols divorcing
Princess Helen--that il possible she
must leave the country before his re-
turn--and second, that before he as
cends the throne. the present govern
ment must be thrown out and Demo
cratic cabinet headed by Prof. Jorga
and comprising the leaders Of the
new national-peasant party, must be
given power.
Wants to Retire
II am sick old man." King Fer
dinand is reported as having told his
ministers. Il want to retire entirely
from, public life."
Eht secret council at which the
king made his wish known was at
tended by Queen Marie. Premier
Avcrescu, Jan Bratiano. who is
sometimes called The Uncrowned
King Of Rumania,' General Coanda
and several other leading political
figures.

have to live. and understand the

the lattcr's brother-in-law, wants d
place on the regency which is now
made up Of Prince Nicolas, the prcsi-
dent Of the supreme court, and the
patriarch Of the Rumanian church.
Consent Held Improbable
1t is considered an absolute Ger.

will never consent to this as it wOulC

since the latter's relation with his
royal mother, despite their two recent
meetings in Paris. are believed to bt

Thus the two questions that dom
mate the Rumanian situation are

There is no question of q republic
it is asserted, and the monarchy will
be maintained, but what form the re.

at stake.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1926-12-20

Appeal from the verdict Of the
court will be made at once, William
LANCER, chief counsel for the de-
fense, declared. He stated that when
kOrsvick is brought up for sentence,
he will ask Judge Lcmbke for stay
of execution and for tic fixing Of
bail 50 that an appert NAV be per-
fected.
"Thc appeal will be based c.aln.v on
the contention that the court erred
in refusing to admit tho testimony
Of the five marines, some of whom
were "buddics" Of Korsvick, and re-
fusing to admit testimony Of Charles
Liessman, assistant secretary Of
state, and of Charles Mcdonald"
LANCER said today.
An Unwritten Code
"The testimony Of the marines "rH
Mr.. Liessman would have been to the
effect that there is an unwrlL.ae couc
among the marines which provides
that when q buddy" Of marine boy
is intended as the victim Of rob-
berry the marines first duty is to
report to the authorities and, If they
cannot be reached, to arrest the
criminals himself and bring them
in"
LANCER was referring to q state
ment attributed to Korsvick in which
the former marine said, Lets tie
them up" just after he heard several
of the party at the Pahaininen place
plan to roll" Thomas Patton, his
companion.
According to the testimony Of
korsvick and Patton, they visited tho
place of Gregory Schmidt before the
shooting and declared that they
wanted to "phone the authorities" !"
This testimony was substantiated by
Schmidt.
1T has been the contention of the
defense all through the trial and will
be in the appeal that the intent in
this boys mind at the time Of the
shooting of Pahaininen could only
be gauged by the jury after the tes.
timOny of these marines was intro
duced," LANCER concluded.
Belief that no prejudicial errors
could be found in the record Of the
case was expressed by c. F. Kelsch,
states attorney, who prosecuted the
case. "In my opinion" he declared,
"there are NO legal grounds for Q re.
versal Of this verdict"
State Satisfied With Verdict
Mr.. Kelsch also expressed salts.
faction with the decision Of the jury,
saying: "The verdict is just, and
the sentence most reasonable. The
law has been vindicated and the
state is satisfied with the verdict"
