CANTON JUNGLE
 PUT ON DEFENSE
Twenty-Five Witnesses to Aid MCDermott in Mellett Murder

Canton, O., Dec. 18.-With conn pletion of the states testimony in i the trial of Patrick Eugene McDer- mott, charged with the murder of Don R. Mellett, Canton publisher more than twenty-five witnesses were expected to testify in McDer- mott's defense.
 For two weeks the jury has heard witness after witness describe Can ton as a city infested with boot leggers, gambling, vice, and crime which was unrestrained by the po- lice, and for two weeks Prosecutor c. B. McClintock has sought to prove that McDermott, alleged hire ling of the underworld, was the paid assassin who shot Mellett down at his garage door on the night of July 16.
 The prosecution has attempted to prove that Mellett's death was due to a conspiracy of underworld lead CTS who feared his attacks against them in the columns Of the Canton Daily News. The states testimony was expected to end today with the story of its final witness. Then the Jungle" Cantons underworld, was to tell it's story.
 On two or three occasions not long before Mellett was slain, Louis Ma ger, indicted with McDermott for the murder, made the remark If Mel lett keeps this up he'll be bumped off" Norman Clark, Canton attor- ney, testified yesterday. Another state witness testified that Ben Rud- ner, also indicted with Mazer and McDermott, in Massillon two weeks before the murder declared some thing is going to happen in Canton" When asked what he meant the wit ness said Rudner replied, you'll see."
 The testimony was introduced, the prosecution indicated. In an ef- fort to establish the alleged con- spiracy between Rudner Mazer and McDermott to kill Mellett for. his editorial attacks on underworld &C., tivities in Canton.
 Mrs. Thelma Harris declared that on the night Mellett was slain she saw Mazer leave the house of Doll Carey, an alleged underworld figure. armed with revolver and that he had not returned at i a. m. Other witnesses have testified McDermott carried a gun constantly and that he sought did from others in his plans ito knock a guy off"
 Today the defense was to begin its attempts to absolve the alleged con- spirators in it's defense of McDer- mott, which the state has termed the "key man" of it's case.

MOON WILL CAST
 SHADOW TONIGHT
Will Not Happen Again for
 400 Years

Boston, Dec. IS LR-There is go- ing to be a shadow on the face of the man In the moon tonight for Luna will be flirting with the um- bra of the earth. In other words, an unusual celestial phenomenon known as lunar appuls2," wherein the moon enters the earth's penumbra, is to take place. It is said to be four centuries since the last occur renee of the kind. It will be almost an eeclipse, but not quite. Appulses are much more rare than eclipses.
 The Umbra is the earth's true shadow and aro"nd this true shadow separating it from the full light, is a partial shadow known as the pen umbra. This partial shadow will darken the moon while that planet swings close to the black shadow. The moon will not touch the umbra however. If it did there would be an eclipse. The moon will enter the penumbra at about Il p. m., eastern standard time. always remaining vis- ible, although it's light will be dim med.
 This darkening of the moon will progress until about 1920 Sunday morning when, according to the au- thorities, the moon will have as- sumed dark due at the edge. shad- ing to ruddy brown. From then on the spectacle will fade and shortly after 3:30 a. m., Luna's usual shin ing countenance will be fully visible.
 At the Harvard observatory it was explained that the phenomenon was not scientifically important. At Prov idence College. Father Dawkins, pro- lessor of astronomy, plans to train a telescope on the moon and explain the phenomenon to group of stu dents.
