Regarding his Imprisonment al

he had been treated "royally" and

excellent meals and had been allowed

The bookmaker said the kidnapers
frequently "hinted at ransom" but
never made q direct demand.

Buffalo, where the bride had rela-
tives and then came to England.

in October and found guilty Of the
murder. although he declared that
he was at q hotel at the time his
wife was killed.
When the conviction came up in

Chung adopted the unusual dramatic
course Of conducting his own appeal.
He asked permission to. call several
new witnesses who on the day Of the
crime saw mysterious orientals
about q mile from the spot where
Wal Sheung- Mao was murdered.
This request was granted and two
witnesses were called. They gave
evidence as the convicted man had
outlined.
The next day, however, the appeal
was dismissed and Lord Hewart,
after reviewing the chief evidence,
said that the Chinese was truly
guilty Of = diabolical, calculated
crime."

DenVer'S RaffleS-Like

The Jack of Diamonds Kicks
Victims Face During Rob
berry

Denver, Dec. 6.-(P)-The latest
appearance Of "the Jack of Dia-
monds," Denver's Raffles-like rob-
Der whose bizarre activities have
kept the police in the uneasy seat
for two years, left detectives today
with further puzzling evidence Of
his grim sense of humor, manifested
in the Is crimes he has committed
here.
The mysterious criminal il SC
named because he always leaves q
playing-calling card, the jack of dia-
nonds, 1t the scenes Of his many
robberies. safe blowings, and hold
ups.
Shortly after he held up q filling
station last night and obtained $50,
q large sedan crashed through the
Fourteenth avenue viaduct railing
and fell demolished on railroad
tracks 40 feet below. No body was
found, although the car was SO thor
oughly smashed up police believed
an occupant could not have escaped
death, but in the sedan was found a
new deck of playing cards, the jack
Of diamonds missing. That card had
been left at the filling station rob-
berry two hours before.
The theory was that the "Jack of
Diamonds" victimizing the police
further, had stolen the car and sent
it through the viaduct's railing de-
liberately after jumping from the
drivers seat before the crash.
At the filling station the robber,
who dresses in the height of fashion,
forced Alfred Wise, attendant, to
lie on the floor while he rifled the
till. Then, with the stream of bru-
tality exhibited in all Of his holdups,
he deliberately kicked Wise twice in
the face inflicting injuries that prob
ably will cause permanent disfig-
uration. The man always beats or
kicks his victims, and once held q
lighted cigar against mans ear.

Nothing grips the imagination to-
day more than the airmail service,
the use of which has become increas-
ingly widespread since the reduction
in airmail postage rates, and recent
tragedies have shown the dangers
braved by these wind-riding coufiers
Of the skies. With service tradition
of "Get the mail through at any
cost" these daring pilots defy
storm, fog and even death itself.
The Tribune issues today the first
Of a series Of five thrilling stories on
the dangers faced by the men who
fly the mails, centered around Major
Wesley L. Smith, who has been q
mail pilot since 1919. In his 5000
hours in the air he has flown half
million miles and stared death in the
face many times. The series tells
of some of his most thrilling mo-
ments IN the clouds.
Major Smith is superintendent of
the New York Chicago division Of

Evening Styles
Are Individual
Each Seems to Have Own
Characteristics

Paris, Sept. - R - Evening
dresses more or less make their
own rules in the new fashions, rules
which are not effective before din
ner and apply only to the electrical
ly lighted hours.
Rule one calls for irregular lines.
Necklines, waistlines, hemlines are
equally affected by the idea of ups
and downs. There are exceptions
to the rule.
Rule two suits material to the
line. Or, as some dressmakers pre-
fer to put it, the line to suit the
material. Materials for evening are
velvet, satin, taffeta, lame, lace and
chiffon.
The third rule is concerned with
color, which may be black, white,
pale pink, pale blue, pale green,
bright and dagk blue, shades of
brown, biscuit or red. Or. II pre-
ferred. any other color that is out
standingly becoming.
On those generalities Paris has
built some of the most interesting
evening dresses of many seasons.
critics agree.
A word of advice. issued by one
of the most earnest makers of FASH
ions, is Don't be afraid to look
different in your evening clothes"
This designer says that evening
clothes and day clothes should be
entirely different in effect and pur-
pose. He urges women to study
the fashion plates of the Eighties
and Nineties in a search for the
basic principles on which the night
time chic Of 1928 is built.
Skirts which flare in back below
the hips, and dresses draped at back
and side are reflection of the FASH
ions of the past century used by
nearly all dressmakers for autumn.
More fitted bodices are another in
1ication of old-new fashions.
