REVERSAL SEEN
| IN CONVICTION
OF BOOZE PARTY

LOS ANGELES, Sept "a R-Re-
versal of the conviction of five persons
for manslaughter in connection with
the Staying of Tom Kerrick, film cow
boy, several months ago, was forecast
here today following filing of a brief
with the appellate court by Deputy
Attorney General Richards in which
he declared he did not ask that the
judgment be affirmed.
The brief pointed out that there
were two fundamental errors prejudic-
ial to the rights of the accused. One
error consisted of the trial judge,
Carlos Hardy, linking such acts as un-
lawful assembly and disorder with the
actual shooting of the actor. The
other was the theory of the prosecu
ton that the defendants we're all
guilty if they were engaged in some
unlawful act at the time of the killing
Those convicted were the cowboys
widow, Mrs. Sarah Kerrick; Henry
Isabel, Iris Burns and Anita Davis,
small parts players in motion pictures;
and Joe Hunt, Arizona range rider.
Kerrick was shot to death when a
drinking party at his flat had carried
into the early morning hours last
April.

Champion Mother Hen
Mothers 800 Chicks

A bantam hen which has mothered
between 600 and 700 baby chicks
during the past ten years and which
has been blind for the past three
years is owned by w. f. Eddington,
of 1864 18th street.
The bantam, according to Edding-
ton is the perfect mother" All he
has to do, he said, is to turn the
chicks over to the blind hen and she
will do the rest. She never tires of
her task, never sets and during the
past year has laid one egg. Since
January l she has mothered 78
chicks through the uncertain days of
babyhood. The last batch of 25
chicks produced "a well developed
fowls.
Friends have been trying to per-
suade Eddington to exhibit his hen
at the Cochise county fair but he
has been reluctant, fearing she might
accidentally come to harm.

PARIS DESERTED
BY Am. LEGION
FOR war ZONES

PARIS, Sept. "a lP-The American
legion is marching away from Paris
Verdun, Rheims, Belfort, Scissors
and Rome were the destinations of
several thousand legionnaires who left
the French capital today Belfort,
that old French citadel in the eastern
frontier, provided the fireworks for
the French reception to the Americans
today. 4
The. great exodus began with the
departure from GAZE Lyons of special
tr<.n for Rome at 3:55S p. m. The
train will stop at Nice, Cannes and
Monte Carlo. Premier MussolirI will
greet the legionnaires on their arrival
at the Italian capital and today three
French ministers wished them Cod
speed as they set out for Italy.
From the highest officials to the
last doughboy there was nothing but
satisfaction with the success of the
convention and gratitude to the French
for their welcome.
At Belfort, which city is now known
as Frances 1871 Verdun, Premier
Poincare himself came from his sum-
mer home in Lorraine to bid his
American friends goodbye. He made

nounced since the armistice.

mother of security, excessive mistrust
may cause wars" he said. Attempts
at cooperation have been made re-
Gently but they cannot for the moment
bring us complete security.
''The absence of the United States
from the league of nations conStrains
us to consider if not probable at least
possible eventualities which would
place us in the necessity of protecting
ourselves and our friends.
France is animated by the most
peaceful of dispositions. Belfort, in
violate both in 1870 and 1914, stands
for the symbol France in defense, not
in attack"
NJ Andre Tardieu minister of pub
lie works, speaking in English, re-
called his old washington acquaint-
ances during the war.
It was remarked today that Foreign
Minister BRAND had maintained a dis
Greet reserve and kept rellglously
away, not attending any legion func-
tions. There were many rumors that
the French cabinet was divided con-
cerning the manner in which the
American legion should be RECEIVED.
A few struggling legionnaires are
still visible on the boulevards OF Paris
but they seem to be in fear OF the
"M. P.'s." The banking companies
are especially besieged by them. They
stand in line around thale offices

COMMUNICATED

ABOUT OLD CEMETERIES To the Editor of the New Britain
 Herald:
 In the Herald recently was conn munication from MT. L. Rollin Beckley in regard to the Buckley cemetery. In it he states that the cemetery is the second oldest in the state of Connecticut. This must be a mistake as the first burial in this cemetery was in 17eo. According to the following inscription: "1n mem- ory of Daniel Beckley. IT,. who died March 1, A. D.. 176o in the 36th year of his age. The first inferred in this burying place." There are three cemeteries in Berlin older than that It Beckley and many other towns contain cemeteries which are very much older. It is not clear to what Afr. Beckley's date of 1887 refers. The first settlement in that part of Wethersfield. which is now known as Beckley Quarter, was made about 1860; Berlin was incorporated as 8 town in 17S5, and as previously stated the cemetery was opened in 1760.

 Doctors and good pharmacists know that Cod Liver Oil is full of vitamines that make flesh, create appetite. build up the power to re- sist disease and puts good solid flesh on skinny men and women.
 But it's repulsive in taste and smell and nearly every stomach re- bels against it.
 So now men and women who keep up with the times are taking Nc. Coy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tab lets-rich in flesh producing, health building, strength creating vitamines and as easy to take as candy.
 Try them for 30 days if you want to fill out those scrawny hollows Tn chest. cheeks and neck and gain strength and vigor. And bear this in mind if they don't help you in that time any druggist anywhere will return your money. But demand McCoy's 60 tablets 60 cents.

A RING PHILANTHROPIST

One cannot help pausing to reflect upon the unwonted generosity of Louis Kid" Kaplan, former feather weight champion, of Meriden.
 Kid" Kaplan is a Jew. a race which is we'll represented in the archives of fisticuffs. The Jewish race is supposed to understand the value of money like no others, which accounts for the prosperity which is so frequently an incident to their activities.
 The battler from Meriden also knows the value of a dollar. but that isn't saying he squeezes and analyses and investigates every greenback he lays his hands upon. Far from it. Some prizefighters we could name, including. so-called Gentiles, are much more adept at exacting tribute than kaplan.
 It was Catholic boys club which sponsored a boxing match in New York the other day, and kaplan was one of the fighters on the program. He was to get $7, 300 for the appear ance. haplan was in the way of the money when he learned that the boys earned a deficit of s2,00O on the nights doings. instead of provid- ing themselves with a comfortable profit, as they had expected.
 Instead of gouging the club to the full extent of the s7.500, as he le- gally could have done kaplan of his own free will-that is to say, voluntarily-said it was a terrible shame that the club was losing money and straightway refused to accept more than $6,000. returning Sl.o0O to the coffers of the club This nearly made up the deficit. Such an act is far above the mag ranimity Of the general run of pugi- lists. Those who have had occasion , to be present when prizefighters were paid off" after their bouts ! can testify that the last nickel is exactcd. and promoters must pay ! regardless of the receipts. The prizefighters' union believes "busi- ness is business" Kaplan's attitude Is indeed refreshing in comparison,
