Mrs. Nina Van Wrinkle, Head Of Washington Police
women, Presents Views on Snyder Gray Case.

like to think of women as better
than themselves, but they are not.
Men don't allow for the demon in
women. They like to think of them
as angels. They are not angels. Per-
sonaDy, l am opposed to capital pun
ishnlent. Mrs. Snyder should be
locked up and confined for life. 1
don't think she's any good for So
ciety."
Mrs. Van Wrinkle regards the lax
ity of American juries toward wom-
en- as an outgrowth of the general
attitude of American men toward
women, placing them on a pedestal.
Men Give Everything
American women are the most
spoiled women on EARTH she said
Men give them everything. They
SURROUND them with luxury. 1t takes
superhuman will to resist such
treatment. Women have come to eX-
pect everything"
The emotional instability today
among both men and women, in Mrs.
Van Wrinkles opinion, comes from
the artificial life made possible by
prosperity, when many people are
able to have SO many new luxuries
TO which they have not been accus-
toned.
Women" she said, "have not
learned to use their new independ-
ence. They are on a spree. They
are still cropping. If women don't
uphold the moral welfare of the
country, who will? think it is their
special job, and 1 don't want them
to step down from their position"

Author of Chicago"

NEW YORK, May 4.-Why is
Judd Gray on the stand?
The jury is sworn not to hold
it against the accused If he does
not testify in his own behalf
What does he hope to gain? Can
anything wipe out the crushing
evidence piled against him by
State and co-defendant? viii it
not be more damning if he adds
to it his own confession? Would
not silence perhaps gain SYM
pathy?
"He knows he's doomed. but
he's going to send Ruth Snyder
there. too" say those who have
watched him come to life as she
testified, who have watched him
glare and grow purple under her
insinuations and accusations-for
the sole purposesof Ruth Snyder's
testimony was to change the I'VE"
of her confession to "he" and to
shift all blame for the murder to
the shoulders of her former lover.
Hes taking the stand not to
save himself, but to get Ruth
Snyder"
So the crowd settled back to
await his answer-bitter, vindic-
tive, venomous.
They have been tense with ex-
element when she took the stand,
yet, after all. her defense had been
clearly outlined and she had al
ready shrieked various messages
to her public" But Gray's at
torney had merely promised "a
story of fascinated slavery to a
serpent woman" and Judd
throughout has kept silent.
Surely the strangest witness
that ever swore to tell the truth

Judd on Witness Stand to Get Ruth

He takes deep breaths now and
then-it is an effort for all his de-
tachment--and at the first men,
ton of his wife and daughter he
stopped, fumbled a moment, then
took a drink OF water-a break
more effective than Mrs. Snyder's
tears in the same situation. He
likewise hesitates when mention
ing his friends, and omits, when
ever possible, their names.
And his eyes somehow fight to
keep from seeing hers-again and
again and again.
And you believe him. Judd
doesn't care, you feel tit isn't
worth while lying.
So the time thus far has not
been wasted.
Why was Lorraine Snyder, o.
year-old child, called to the stand?
A wave of sentiment-and senti-
mentality-swept over the room as
she marched gravely to the judge.
Hands Washed
And the State washed its hands
by refusing to cross-examine; ditto
co-defendant-they would not be
party to such an act.
1t is true crowded courtroom
is not the ideal place for a child
of 9, but neither is an Illicit rem
dezvous-and Lorraine was third
person with her mother and Judd
when he gave her the sash weight
that killed Albert Snyder-and
neither is a murder-and she was
called by her mother to find her
father in his bed.
Material evidence" the attor-
neys said, but asked her only two
questions about matters not in dis
pute then swept her off to the tune
Of her mothers sobs.
Why was Lorraine Snyder called
to the stand just before the de-
Tense rested?

PROBE STARTED
!. OF ATTEMPT TO
BLOW Up SCHOOL
State Fire MarShaPs Office
investigates Carroll Coun-
ty Dynamiting Case.

Investigators for the State fire
marshal's office, under Chief Milton
w. Wareing, today are trying to
unravel the mystery of an attempt
to blow up the high school building
in the southern part of Washington
Township, Carroll County, a week
ago.
The only clew thus far is a long
strip of burlap containing nine dy-
Mantle caps, can of gasoline and
a bottle of ether. These We're found
in the manual training room in the
basement when the Deer Creek fire
department arrived following three
explosions the night of April 26
Assistant State Fire Marshal Bert
Fowler, assigned to the case, be-
lieves the crude bombs were placed
in the basement, one touched off
and the others exploded by the
flames. Entrance was gained by
smashing two basement windows.
A neighbor called the fire depart
snent and the damage was slight,
as the fire was quickly eXtingushed.
,E Politics Is Blamed
Wareing attributes the attempted
bombing to a factional fight in the
district which caused three trustees
to be added to the board since Jan
uary. There is graded school in
the northern part of the township,
and when It was planned to add
rooms to the high school, petition
was circulated for a consolidated
school, to be centrally located.
Although nothing has been fled
4 regarding a levy for building or a
bond issue with the Indiana tax
board, Wareing declared that he I'M
sderstood that the township taxes
swere at the limit, and could not be
raised unless an emergency existed.
One clew Is that by burning down the
high school aan emergency would be
screated, and also that central
school, rather than an addition.
might be doomed. Each faction
1llames the other.

are such as could be picked up on

NEW YORK, May 4.-Fourteen
years ago Mrs. Minnie Chaizel,
separated from her husband. gave
up the struggle of trying to care
for her two babies. Keeping little
Mollie, less than a year old, she sent
Oscar, 8, to live with family who
agreed to keep him for 50 week.
She kept up payments for while,
visiting Oscar at intervals and
bringing his baby sister with her.
Then one day they told her Oscar
was dead and showed her an I'M
marked grave in a cemetery.
Today society was confronted by
an unusual problem in Oscar and
Mollie. They met, fell in love and
were married.
Brother and sister were discovered

Bronx. Oscar is now II and Mollie

two victims of circumstances outlaws.
The arrests revealed a story more
human and dramatic than anything

The family who had taken Oscar
in, fell in love with the boy and de-
cided to make him their own son.
When they had convinced Mrs.
Chaizel that the boy was dead they
moved. Oscars name was changed
to their own and he grew up as
Max Cashdan. For many years Mrs.
Chaizeps son was lost to her.
Quarrel Revealed Truth
One day, little more than a year
ago, Max Cashdan" learned during
the recriminations of family quar-
rel that he was not the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Cashdan. He resolved to
find his mother, and finally traced
her through advertisements in a
Jewish newspaper.
There was a joyful reunion. Os-
car went to live with his mother and
sister.
The story then looked like the
usual happy ending. But tragedy
lurked in the pretty face and shining
dark eyes of 15-year-old Mollie. Her
