LEBANON, Pa, Dec. 20.-Super-

doctors incantations was held re-
sponsible today for another death
that Of the 4-monthS- child of a
19-year-old mother.
Several weeks ago, little Verling

S. Gingrich, of Fredericksburg, gave
the child's grandmother. Mrs. Cyrus
Smith, medicine for a cold, without
seeing the child.
The next day he was called in at
tendance. He was not called again
until last Tuesday, shortly after the
child had died. He refused to sign
a death certificate, and notified
Coroner Manbeck.
The Pennsylvania German grand
parents of the child told the story
of the baby's death.
Friends had advised them to con-
suit a ''poWWow" doctor, they said.
A Berks county man, noted in
several counties where "powwow-
ing" is practiced extensively, was
called. He performed his rites and
recited his nominations.
The next day the baby was no
better. The "powwower" was called
again. Three times that day he
went through the ceremonies which
were supposed to cure the child.
Then he told the mother that he

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-A Brook
Ign housewife has withdrawn big
amy charges against her husband
and gave the husband to the Sec
ond wife with the hope che will be
better to her than he has been to
me-"
Mrs. Charlotte Coleman filed big
amy charges against Theodore Cole
man, a 42-year-old clerk, when she
found he had married Mrs. Ellen
Jones.
Today the two wives sat in court
in Brooklyn and talked amiably
after which the first wife announced
she was withdrawing the charge be-
cause she didn't want to see the
man she loved go to jail
II don't want to see my husband
go to jail because he has wronged
me by marrying another woman"
she said. IT love him yet, but I
am willing to let him have the
other woman and hope he will be
better to her than he was to me.
1t is in his blood not to be good to
any woman. He has promised to
support my five children. The wom-
an he has married is a good wom-
an and he can have her if he will
be good to her.

could ''powwow" for the baby just
as we'll at his home, if he knew
the baby's full name. He was given
the information and left, asking no
pay.
1t is understood, however, among
practically all "powwow'' practi-
TONERS and their superstitiouS pa
tents, that the healer shall be given
whatever sum the patient thinks is
fitting.
From the time of the last pow
vow treatment, the baby was cared
for only by his grandmother, who
also watched an older child, 16
months old, while the mother
worked in a Lebanon factory and
the father worked in Philadelphia.
After official investigation, a death
certificate was issued.
The baby's death followed within
few weeks that of Nelson A. Reh-
meyer, York county farmer, was
slain by three youths because he
refused to give up lock of his
hair to break a "heX" or charm al
legedly placed on them.

WITNESSES Get
Death THREATS
IN KIDNAP CASE
State Expected to Wind Up
Testimony in Panieri
Trial Today.
BIZ United Press

81 United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-With an
other death threat against wit.
ness written into court records, the
state was scheduled to wind up its
testimony in the Ranieri kidnapping
trial.
Revelation of the latest threat
came shortly after the trial of three
Italians for the kidnapping Of Billy
Ranieri, 10, had been adjourned
and a hearing was started on a
habeaS corpus writ to free two sus-
poets in the murder of Ole Scully
witness who was dubbed to death
Monday.
Marked for Next Death
Judge Robert Genzel suspended
the writ when he was informed
Angelo Petitti, one of the defend
ants, had said:
mike Devito Ga witness) will be
the next one killed"
Charles Mueller, assistant states
attorney himself under guard after
being threatened, told Judge Genzei
that Petitti had made the threat
before bailiff.
"Devito is the only witness
against Petitti in another extor-
ton CASE Mueller said. "Scully
was the only witness in another
indictment. Now he is out of the
way and Devito is to be killed just
as Scully was"
Fred Petitti, brother Of An
cello, and Frank Mastroianni were
the prisoners for whom the writ5
were sought.
Others Threatened
1t developed at the same time
that two other state witnesses had
been threatened with death. They
were Don Bleao, deputy sheriff, and
Adolph Goselin, both of Kankakee.
Both said they had been warned not
to go on the witness stand and tell
what they knew about Andrew and
Tony CappelIano, the other two de-
PENDANTS in the case. The Kan
KaKee men were dcUlVG III capturing
the Cappellanos, who have been
identified as the men who kept Billy
a prisoner on farm near Bour-
bannais, Ill
After the writ hearings Mueller
revealed Devito had been in the
saloon were Sculiy was killed a few
minutes before the murder. Jack
Devito, brother of Mike, was one of
the four injured by the clubbers.
Mrs. Ranieri was on the stand
Wednesday for the state, but was
excused after a few questions. She
was nervous after having lived sew
eral months under police protection.
The Ranieries have received a
dozen threatening letters since Billy
was kidnapped last fall.

REVERSES VIG0 FINDING
Supreme Court Rules Home Drink
ing No Crime Before Wright Law.

Drinking in homes was not a
crime before the passage of the
Wright bone dry law in 1924, the
Indiana supreme court pointed out
in a decision of the Vigo circuit
court reversing conviction of Will
lam Large on a charge of maintain
ing a liquor nuisance.
Judges C. r. Martin and Willard
B. Gemmill, however, disagreed with
the majority decision in minority
finding.
The majority held that as there
had been no evidence that Large
sold liquor, the mere fact much
liquor was drank on his premises
was no evidence he was maintain
ing a liquor nuisance. Large was
arrested before passage of the
Wright act.

Fairbanks fights
FOR ONE MILLION
Doug Battles Government Over
Income Tax Returns

Washington, Oct. NeDougias
Fairbanks computes his income in
one way; government adds It up In
another. Consequently the famous
moving picture star with his wife,
the equally famous Mary Pickford,
were in town today to keep an ap-
pointment at the treasury. Some
thing over a million dollars was at
stake.
The government contends that
Fairbanks owes exactly tl.O9O.273.66
in unpaid federal taxes. 1t asserts
that Miss Pickford also 10 delinquent.
but TO what extent has not been
revealed. The dispute centers upon
the method by which the stars mar
ket their pictures.
-Four Cases In Court
Fairbanks has taken four cases
10 the court of tax appeals-two in
yolving the Douglas Fairbanks Pic
ture corporation which he formerly
owned. one involving the Elton cor
which in turn owns the Douglas
Fairbanks Picture corporation. and
one involving his personal income.
The cases extended over the period
between 1917 and 1925. with the
single exception of the year 1924.
Miss Pickford has taken no appeals.
only her own case was up for dis
cussion at today's conference, but
since the issues are identical with
those of her husband. it was under
stood that any agreement reached
would form basis for settlement
of the governments claims against
both.
Doug. and Mary slipped into town
unannounced yesterday, and were
recognized while lunching at the
Congressional Country club. Con-
ferences with their attorney occu-
pied most of the afternoon. but
