BUSINESS LEAVES
 RAILS FOR ROADS
B. < M. Head Appeals for
 Greater Support

Boston, Oct. 19.-tP-A plea that New England industry support New England railroads in their attempt to improve service and ultimately. if possible lower costs. was made today by President George Hannauer Of the Boston and Maine railroad at the an- nual meeting of the associated indus tries of Massachusetts.
 MT. Hannauer declared that New England business is diverting from railroads to motor trucks approxi- mately four billion tons of freight a year, much of which, he said. would he better handled by rail or by a CO., ordination of rail and truck.
 He cited the unprecedented speed Of changes in industries and trans portation alike as reason for mutual cooperation. The railroads were obligated to aid New England busi- ness by the best possible service. embracing adequate car supply. speedy movement and dependable schedules; the lowest practicable rates, consistent with fair return on funds invested in railroads and the establishment of sound credit: and, further extension of the attidue and organization by the railroads to

 JAIL IN 3 YEARS
D0T0thea WalSer Goes to Jail for
 Part in Murder

Marion, Ind. Oct. 19 (UP)-Dor- othea Walser prepared today 10 enter new phase of her already crowded life. The girl yesterday was found guilty of participating in the murder of her 12 year old cousin Clifford Cox, for his life insurance, and automatically was sentenced to q term of two to q years in the penitentiary.
 The girl is IT. She apparently did not understand at first the mean ing of the words uttered by the jury foreman, but when told by her fath- CT. she murmured:
 Well, that isn't such 8 terribly long time Life, now that's a long. long time"
 Arthur Walser. her 2S year old husband. appeared uneasy when told the iury's verdict. He goes on trial at the next term of court in connec- tion with the same case.
 The Cox boy was murdered last May. Dorothea and her husband were arrested a short time later, and confessed to the killing. They later repudiated these confessions.
 The girl sat yesterday, holding her baby in her arms, and waiting for the jury to come in. She talked

prosecutors.
 The beginning of the World war found him in Paris. where he had married and was the owner of a small watchmaker's shop. He volun- teered for the French army, fought in the Allied armies and received the CroiX de Guerre. After the Russian revolution, he returned to his native land. joined the army and became fought against the pogrom bands of Petlura and Denikin. Witnessing many pogroms. he swore vengeance.
 Due to hts dissatisfaction with the Communist regime, he returned to France and settled in Paris perman- ently. He resumed his occupation as watchmaker and devoted his spare time to writing. He is the author of three books of poetry and prose in Yiddish.
 Imme ediately after the shooting, the police questioned his wife. Mrs. Anna Schwartzbar. She made the following statement:
 For many weeks my husband has been melancholy and nervous. I did not know the cause of 1t, but. look ing back I remember that his de- pressed mood dated from the time Petlura started his Ukrainian weekly Trident in Paris. My husband read this periodical regularly and the aft CT effect was terrible excitement and despondency. On the day of the shooting he refused to eat breakfast. When l asked him whether. he was ill, he replied: No but my nerves are all gone.' He then went out and the next I heard was of the assassin- ation."

Cossacks Simon Fetlura. on the Boulevard s. Michel on Tuesday afternoon, May 26. 1926.
 Many distinguished students of events of the Petlura period in the | Ukraine both Jews and Gentiles, are convinced that Petlura was fully re- Sponsible for the shedding of the blood Of the tens of thousands of the masSaCred Jews. The Ukrainian novelist and leader NJ. Ninnichenko. himself a former premier of the Ukranian republic and a former as soCiate In the directorate that gov erned that country prior to Petlura' S usurpation of power, has gone pub ! licly on record. fastening the pogrom guilt upon Petlura. M. Ninnichenko is in Paris ready to appear as a witness in Schwartzbar's defense. Some of the best legal minds in France are active in the defense with Henri Torres as chief counsel. George Bernard Shaw. Alexander kerensky, former premier of Russia i; l Prof Albert. Einstein and about 100 French leaders in politics, letters and international affairs have been sum- moned by Schwatzbar's defense. Maxim Gorki, the renowned Russian writer and one of the greatest stu dents of the phenomena of Russian { life. was summoned from his sick bed on the Island of Capri. Italy. He i immediately responded that he would go 10 Paris as a witness for | the defense.
 M. Torres accompanied by repre- sentative of the French League for | Human Rights. made a special trip to Russia to see the pogrom records l in the government archives and he emerged from there with wealth Of documentary evidence supporting 1 the contention of Petlura's respons- ibility for the massacres.
 Prisoner Found Sane
 AS for Schwartzbar himself, a commission of French medical ex- aminers pronounced him sane and responsible for his act adding, how ever, that he was a personality of distinctly marked mystic inclinations with passionate race sentiments.
 Neither the Jews as whole nor any group of Jews regard Schwartz bar IS a saint, but some anti 1 Semitic nationalist Ukrainian publi-
 cations apparently are trying to
 create that impression. It is true the SChwartzhar Defense committee in
 Paris was organized by Jews. It is
 also true some funds have been rais-
 cd among Jews in New York; q for
 mer commissioner of education
 Joseph Barondess. has been active in
 gathering modest funds as the head
 of a Schwartzbar Defense commit
 tee composed of prominent Jewish
 citizens.
 In his early youth Schwartzbar
 was arrested hy Czarist officials as a
 radical and sentenced 10 exile in Si-
 heria. He fled to Austria. Tn Vienna
 he was once arrested on petty lar
 ceny charge and once again as an
 anarchist. according 10 his present

 New England's railroads bN the same token must have the support of New England ind dustries.

PETLURA KILLING
 JOYFULLY RET0LD
Russian With Cleaning Eyes
 Faces Paris Court

Paris. Oct. 19.-tP-Faclng the red and black robed judges and law yers in the dun court Of AssiZes. Samuel SchWartzbar, blond Russian vatchmaher, eNultingly told his story of how he deterninedly tracked down Gen. Simon Petlura and cold hloodedy killed him 10 ayenge the death Of thousands of Jews slain in pogroms he believed were nstisated by his victim,
 Shocked by the story the thirty three year-old watChmakcr told with Eleaming eyes and hysterical grim- aces. the 4oo spectators crowded Tn the court room gasped with surprise, White bearded Jews from Central and Eastern Europe sat beside flap pers with bobbed hair and eXchang- d shocked gIances with Slavic featured Ukranians as Schwartzbar 1old his story of relentless pursuit and death before the muzzle Of his revolver.
 TraiIcd His Quarry
 Outside heavy endorsements of gendarmes patrolled the corridors to prevent disorders. Inside the eleam of candelabra struggled with the gloom Of murky Paris day. And a hush fell upon the room as Schwartzbar began his story Of the assassination. He told of how he had followed Gen. PetIura. pistol in ,,t when he might kill the man he con- sldered the prosecutor Of his race.
 Many who watched him tell the story commented that SchwartZbar seemed more like clerk than a murderer. Short, undistnguished in appearance. he seemed no different from many salesmen behind Paris department store counters. As he proceeded with the story, the pres 1dent of the court warned that there should be no manifestations from the spectators, as these might cause an upflaring or racial feeling inimical to justice.
 Peering intently at the lawyers and judge, SchWartzbar went through the early part of the interrogation with difficulty, finding the French at his command almost insufficient for his replies.
 Carried His Photograph
 Then Schwartzbar rose to tell of his crime. He described in minute detail the trailing of his victim. He told of carrying a. photograph of hi: victim elect and of comparing il with the features of men he met

He related how he encountered Gen. Petlura Tn the Latin Quarter many times, but always with his wife and daughter or friends, Finally on May a. 1926, he met him in the Rue Racine and the Boulevard st. Michel alone.
 As he rushed along describing the incidents Of the trailing and the en- counter with Gen. Petlura, his voice rose to a pitch of eXultation that caused gasps of astonishment, the spectators being swayed 10 forget tulnass Of the courts order for si- lence by the pictures Schwartzbar caused to dance before their eyes. Then. with his head tilted backward, his face cleaning with hoyish joy, he related the last moments Of Gen. Petlura's life.
 [" Heres my chance thought. Are you Pctlura?' I asked him. He did not answer. simply lifting his heavy cane. I knew Ii was him. l shot once, twice; three, four five times He fell, the crowd rushed in on mo. My only worry was whether il was really Petlura. l might have killed the wrong man. When q po- Itcrman told me it was Petlura I threw my ans about his neck in ioy,'
 Al this point Schwartzhar who had been gesticulating and demon- stratins his crime, threw his arms about the neck of the gcndarne sit ting beside him.
 SChwartzhar denied he had accom- pliCes. saying his crime was the re- suit of his own conviction that Gen. Pctlura was the instigator of po- groms in which thousands of CO., raCialists were killed. He denied Pet lura had begged for mercy. as wit nesses had testified. He also denied he shot Gen. Petlura after the later had tumblei on the roadway. He described. with narrowing de tails the pogroms in Ukraine, saying 1 he had heard them by word of mouth from witnesses. He con- i tended that Gen. Petlura was chiefly
 responsible for the pogroms since at ! the time they occurred he was the i head of the Ckrainian State army. Rocking baCkward and forward
