COLD WAVE SEEMS
 FINALLY BROKEN
Whole Country Emerging From
 SubZero Temperatures

Chicago. Jan. { R-The greater part of nation today was coming slowly out of the anaesthetic of low temperatures which since New Years Day have extended their chill aS far south as the Mexican Gulr.
 Fewer fatalities were reported yes- terday, although sub-zero tempera- lures were not uncommon through out most of the north and middle west. Sixty deaths attributed to the cold and the snow have been report ed from widely spread sections of the country since January.
 Temperatures generally were sev- eral degrees higher last night than on Monday. Duluth was the coldest place in the United States, with 8 degrees below zero reported at D.. m. last night, although White River, Ont, had P degrees below at the same hour. In both cases, however. the readings were higher than for the previous day.
 The great rotary blows and cater pillars which are kept in readiness by most of the northern tier states during the winter were doing 24 hour shifts, buck:ng drifts and cut ting lanes for motor travel over the network of state highways. Snow was piled as deep as 50 inches in northern Michigan.
 Sheriff's officers from La Crosse, Wis, found Mrs. Marie Sauer frozen to death under a bed at her home on French Island, where for years she has lived in seclusion. The men had to fight their way through a dozen dogs, pets of Mrs. Sauer. who were with the body when the officers broke down the bolted door.
 Though the cold had lessened ap- preciably, temperatures in many parts of the country stood several degrees below freezing. Suffering was acute in some places, particu- larly Ohio, and the south. the latter section being less prepared than the rest of the country for the unex- pected mercury dropping. Heavy losses resulted to truck farms :nd fruit growers in the south and on cattle ranges in the Rocky Mountain areas and in Canada.

HICKMAN NAY BE
 AGAIN INDICTED
Thoms MurdF Wih6s6 Art
 CauM Before Jury

Los Angeles, Jan. { 0 - While defense forces began gathering wi. dence to support William Edward Hickman's plea of not guilty by reason of insanity to the kidnapping and slaying of little Marian Parker. the question of voting . new mur. der indictment against tho youth today came before the county grand jury.
 Witnesses who had been ordered to appear before the srand jury yesterday in the investigation Of the shooting of c. Ivy Thoms. Rosehill druggist. in holdup which Hick- man and his l6 year old accom. plice. Welby Hunt. have coufesssd staging. were asked to return to the jury rooms today.
 The district attorney announced he would ask that . murder iudict. ment be voted against the youths in connection with the death of the druggist. Although the bullet which fatally wounded Thoms has been identified as the same calfber as tho pistol carried by Hunt in the hold up. California law holds each of the persons involved equally guilty. Hickman's plea of mot guilty by reason of insanity'' was made when he was arraigned yesterday on in. dictments charging him with the Kidnapping and murder of the Los Angeles school girl. Tho move fore. casts long court fight in the st. tempt of the youth to escape the death penalty which tho prosscu- tion frequently has declared t would demand.
 A recently passed California lev divorces the hearing on the de. fendant's sanity from the actual trml. If Ae h found to have been sane at tho time the crtms was committed. his attorney may then interpose the plea that Hickman is insane at the present time. Legal authorities differ somewhat on the interpretation of the new California law as to the procedure should Hickman be declared tnsane at the time of the Kidnapping and murder but be held sane at the present time.
 Superior Judge Fricke, who, while 1 chief deputy district attorney, had charge of all insanity cases. de. clared that the youth if found in. sane at the time the crimes were committed. would be sent to state hospital and if later declared to bs sane would walk out a free man.
 The insanity hearing was set by superior Judge Carlos Hardy for January e5. after he had denied tn, plea of Htckman's youthful attorney. Jerome Walsh. that the case be dc. layed for s5 days.
 An affidavit asking for the delay i would be based on the testimony of
 boyhood associates and would delve
 deeply into his family history. The attorney said many witnesses neces. sarily would be brought from Mis. souri. Arkansas and Illinois. The affidavit also cleared another point which has been the basis for numerous rumors in the case. When Hickman pleaded guilty and was paroled on . forgery charge last summer. his mother swore hs was not yet IS years of age. The afYi- davit. however. gave Hickman's Axe as 19 an age that would permit the inflicting of the death penalty under California law.

MINISTER GRANTED
 ABSOLUTE DIVORCE
RT. R. \. Gilman AVardM
 Decree in Superior Court

heN. haymoQQ N. Gilman, pastor of the Stanley Memorial churuh of this city. was granted an absolute divorce from his Russian war bride, Irene Poroshine Gilman of New Haven. by Judge Newell Jennings in superior court yesterday. The di- vorce was granted on the grounds of desertion.
 Rev. and Mrs. Gilman were mar ried in 1920 while doing Near East Relief work in the Caucasus. Mr. Gilman was in charge of the Near East Relief station there. He was as- sisted by Miss Irene Poroshine. who with her mother. Mrs. Helen Poyo- shine. the. latter the widow ol . former Russian general on the stan of the grand duke under the late Czar Nicholas. were refugees from Russia during the revolution.
 They fled to Tinis in the Cau- casus, where Miss Poroshine. who was a highly eeducated woman. act ed as interpreter and also taught several languages, including French. English. German and Russian. It was there that she met Mir. Gilman and went into Near East work as his interpreter. and secretary.
 On August IF, 1920. while still in Tif1is. they were married. Mrs. GiI- man came to America with her hus- band. Following the latter's gradu- ation from Yale they came to New Britain in June. 1922, when MT. Gilman became pastor of the Stan- ley Memorial church on East street.
 In October. 1928. Mrs. Gilman and her mother went to New Haven. ap- parently on vacation trip. They never returned. While incompatible ity is said to have been the actual cause of the assertion. difficulty on the part of the women in adjusting themselves to the change in their living conditions is said by friends to have been the real reason.
 The couple signed a separation agreement on July 29. 1924. This agreement, inferring that the divorce was mutually desired. was the only hitch in the divorce proceedings. ac- cording to Judge Jennings.
 Observing that the only compli- cation in the case is the existence Of a formal written agreement, the judge said:
 T find from all the evidence that this agreement was merely one of the many efforts made by the plain tiff to secure the return to the nor- nal of the peculiar psychological condition of his wife and her return. This effort like all the others. was not successful. find that the deser- tion contemplated by our statute is a fact and that the plaintiff is en- titled to divorce on that ground"
 Mrs. Gilman did not contest the action. The divorce took effect yes- terday. Mrs. Gilman was aware last evening that the decree had been granted, although her husband did not know of it until informed by the Herald today. Both expressed themselves as happy that their troubles have been concluded. AL though the decree is absolute and SANeS S1ci tAe pINHe6c ot iIIdTlylH6 again. Mrs. Gilman does not resume her maiden name. but retains the name of Mrs. Irene Gilman.
 Mir. Gilman has been remarkably successful in his church work here, and although it is his first pastorate he has added between 200 and 300 new members, and has been infiu- ential in having the church become self supporting. The officials and active members of the church, know
