In a statement to report
ers, given shortly before the
hearing in the Eleventh and
Winters street police court,
Miss Pennypacker sharply crit
icised the action Of the author.
tiles in arresting the audience
at the meeting.
Il went to the meeting Friday
night unofficially to learn more Of
the intolerable situation in Cas-
tonia," Miss Pennypacker said. Il
am member of the American Civil
Liberties Union and believe liberty
TO be the most needed think IN this
country today.
The thing which truly patriotic
persons should demand is the res
toration to the people OF the rights
guaranteed them by the Constitu-
ton.
Denies Being Communist
at is an amazing thing, unbelieYe-
able until witnessed. that here in
Philadelphja-the City of Brotherly
Love-and throughout Pennsylvania,
the land on William Penn, our fell
low citizens should be denied the
right peaceably to assemble.
How can We expect to have re-
spect for law when it is openly
flouted by the authorities. Not
openly, however, for most OF those
attending such meetings are peo-
pie whole names are unknown and
who can NOT make any effective
protest. 1t is we'll that others of
us should have the experience and
tell of it."
Miss Pennypacker said she always
has been a free lance in politics.
She never has held public Office
and never has played any promi-
nent part in politics. She denied
being a communist.
She dressed very plainly and at
her court hearing today wore 2
Sllnple gray WOODEN dress which
reached considerably below her
knees. Sne also wore white shoes
and white stockings. Her hair il

Spends Night in jail
Miss Fennypacker Friday at first
vas surprised at her arrest and then
Il couldn't believe this could have
in Philadelphia, the cradle
Of liberty" she said.
MY ancestors came over to Amer
ica more than two hundred years
age in the cause Of freedom, and
thought surely We could continue to
enjoy it in peace in this good old
Quaker city"
She refused any favors at the
hands of police and chose to stay
In a cell with thirteen young women
who spent the night singing The

SNOOk'S OWN
STORY To Be
TRIAL CLIMAX
Dramatic Possibilities of
COED Murder Case
Are Many.
BIZ MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
COLUMBUS, O., July 27.-The Su-
preme effort to prevent conviction
of DR.. James H. Shook for the al
legged murder of Theora HiX, may
be made by DR.. Shook himself.
Although medical experts will
testify for him, his wife may give
evidence and also his mother, there
was. reason to believe today that the
main case of the defense will be
built upon the story to be told by
the former Ohio State university
professor himself.
His attorneys. who last week
would admit they expected DR..
Shook would testify" did not reiter-
ate that assertion today, but made
no denial of any change in plans.
Three-Fold Defense
The defense Is to be built, unless
the entire program is altered, upon
three-fold plea Of Self-defense,
emotional insanity and the claim
that Miss Hix herself administered
or acquiesced in the administration
of drugs to DR.. Shook. causing him
to go temporarily mad.
Shocks appearance as q witness
should furnish high drama and high
interest.
While he is not Of distinguished
appearance. he is man of culture
and attainment.
He has occupied high position in
the university faculty, the sport
ing world, as the author Of g. text
book on veterinary medicine in gen.
eral use in colleges, and as a writer
for both professional and out-of-
door magazines.
The spectacle Of such man as a
witness fighting for his very life,
will raise to high pitches the dra-
matte tone of the Shook -Hix trag-
edy.
But there will be other high
points. Melvin T. Hix, and his wife.
parents of the dead Theora, are
anxious to testify that their daugh-
ter was girl Of honor and a credit
as well as q comfort to their de-
clining years. Even more dramatic
will be the possible appearance of
Mrs. Shook, wife Of the accused pro-
fessor.
MiSSes Safurdor coYf
Shook left court and went to his
cell in the county jail at the close
OF Fridays session, seeming in
huoyant spirits. He. told his iailers
he vas glad of a weekend rest. but
he missed. as always. his Saturday
golf. He was prepared to devote
much time over the weekend to
his own case.
Cout attendants will spend the
weekend finding and serving with
rsummons fifty additional talesmen,
drawn Friday night when it became
certain the first panel of seventy
five would be exhausted before the
Jury Is competed.
The second panel contains the
names Of fifteen women and thirty
five men.
Indications. we're that if the de-
fense persists in what seems to be
a determination to rid the Jury of
women and farmers, the jury can
not be completed before Tuesday.

came from the window on the air,

Cassidy, the cleaning woman, must
have closed II when she cleaned Sat.
urday afternoon, although Mr.. Bor,
den was still here. It's q rule Of the
building that no windows are to b<
lett open overnight"
Think the woman cleaned, d
you?" McMann shot 1t her.
why, yes" Ruth answered, sur.
prised at his lack Of astuteness,
The wastebaskets have been emp
tied, as you see, both in my office
and in Mr.. Borden's. Minnie came
down the hall toward this office 1ust
as ! was getting on the elevator
Saturday afternoon. I suppose she
cleaned them"
Her lips went dry with fear that
her ordeal was upon her-that Nc
Mann would question her then and
there about her departure, would
learn that she had come back for her
forgotten handbook. But the detec-
tive merely nodded as he said:
I'll get Alinnie's story when CO.
vey rounds her up.'
"The cleaning women don't come
on duty week days until four" Ruth
volunteered. saturdays they work
from IL to five"
McMann thanked her with another
curt nod, then, since the finRerprint
expert had finished with Borden's
desk, he began to pull out drawers.
! don't see any gun here" he re-
marked, to no one in particular. an
view OF all those hold-ups in the
building I'm surprised he didn't keep
one."
Because she knew that his search
would soon extend to her own desk.
Ruth gr1pped Jack Hayward's hand
tight, then volunteered, . little
hreathlessly: II have an automatic
IN my desk, Mr.. McMann. A Colts
.S8, I believe it is"
"What!" the detective exploded.
Then, Bring It to me! No, wait!
I'll get It," he corrected himself
grimly, with . significant glance at
the fingerprint expert, who followed
close at his heels as McMann strede
into the outer office. "Show me
where you keep it."
Obediently Ruth pulled open the
bottom drawer Of her desk. and
pointed, shrinking little, a. she al
ways shrank from sight or touch Of
that blue-black thing.
where :" McMann was burrowinr
among clean towels, cartons Of pa
Per cups, bundles Of old stationery,
with which the bottom drawer was
filled. "There's no automatic here,
or any other kind Of gun!"
"Not-there :" Ruth repeated stu
pidly. "Not there! "Why-" and in
voluntarily she turned on icy feet
and stared at Mrs. Borden.

since then continues. Effect Of IN.
creased slaughter in the past few
years has been largely Offset by in
creased consumer demand for lambs.
lamb prices have been relatively high
for several years. Holding back lambs
for breeding has restricted slaughter.
Il this tendency toward expansion
should cease at . time when demand
conditions are less favorable, it Is
hardly likely that the market can
absorb the additional supply without
. considerable reduction In prices.
The Bismarck tribune., 1929-02-11

creased production and reduced
prices. Those already in may profit
by moderate expansion during the
next two or three years even though
prices 60 somewhat lower. Market
supplies in 1928 were less than IL
1927 and further reduction In 1920 L
indicated. Feeder cattle prices prob
ably will not average as high as In
1928. Supplies Of finished cat
tie during the last half OF 1929 will
probably be smaller than for the cor
responding period Of 1928. Feeder
cattle are expected to be In good de-
mand throughout the year. The sea-
sonal movement Of cattle prices In
general will be more nearly normal
than was the case In either 1927 or
1923. The general level will probably
not continue the rise which has been
under way since 1924.
Higher Hog Prices Likely
The 1929 hog outlook Is favorable
Considerably smaller slaughter Is ex-
pected with some Improvement In
foreign demand and no material
change in domestic demand. The
1929 seasonal levels are expected to
average higher than In 1928. II high
er hog prices this year stimulate In
creased hog breeding in late 1929, in
creased marketings in the winter Of
1930-31 will again start the hog-price
cycle downward. The indicated re-
duction in the 1928 fall pig crop In
the corn belt as compared with the
1927 fall crop together with indicated
reduction In number Of sows to farrow
next spring points to slaughter sup.
plies next summer and fall slightly
smaller than in the corresponding
season Of 1923.
A gradually increasing demand for
dairy products will probably main
tain about the present spread between
the prices Of feed and dairy products.
Combined domestic production OF Ill
dairy products during recent years
has averaged SO per cent OF domestic
consumption and as prospective for.
eign supplies limit the level to which
domestic prices can rise. the situation
does not justify more than q gradual
expansion Of dairy herds. Farmers
now have m opportunity to dispose
Of old cows for beet purposes at good
prices.
Caution Required on Sheep
The sheep outlook In this country
for the next few years indicates the
need for caution in regard to contin-
ued expansion. The last low point in
numbers was In 1o22. Expansion

NOW CO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XT

As McMann's ruthlessly logical
sentences peppered like bullets up
on poor Mrs. Borden's shrinking fig
ure, Ruth Lester thanked God that
she had not told the detective about
the automatic pistol in the bottom
drawer Of her desk-that fearsome
blue-black thing which Mrs. Borden
had seen and shuddered away from
on Saturday.
Ruth's own small body stiffened
with indignation and sympathy as
Mrs. Borden pulled herself together
to answer McMann's brutal charge.
II did not kill my husband, sir.
He was alive, well and-happy when
1 left him Saturday afternoon.
never saw him again until-a few
minutes ago."
Whatever answer the scowlinr,
obviously skeptical detective might
have made was checked by the open
ing Of the outer door and the en-
trance of three plainclothes men,
whom McMann greeted curtly, as
signing them rapidly to their tasks /:
Carlson, I want you to take
charge of all visitors that Biggers
stops at the door. Therell be stock
statesmen and other business callers
who don't know that Borden il dead.
Herd them into Suite 716 down the
hall. It's vacant. Question all COM
ers and send for me If anything de-
velops. Get the alibi Of every sales
man who reports. Biggers is holding
q couple Of them now.
yeah, that's all, but don't let
anything slip through your fingers.
-. .Covey, get hold Of the superin-
tendent Of the building, and tell him
to round up every employe that was
on the premises Saturday afternoon.
Ask him also to make an office to
office canvass for every tenant that
was in the building after one o'clock
NOT many Of them, / guess.
Question them one by one as to
whether they heard shot, and
keep q complete record, Of course.
Better get the super to give you an
other vacant suite for your lob. and
have the gang brought to you, one
by one. I don't want them to have
. chance to compare notes. And don't
put out anything, see! Just ask for
information. don't give it."

IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. ll.-And now tha
day Of the famous Hippodrome L
done.
Once super -show place of Man.
hattan'S Mazda Lane, 1t was first re.
duced to the status Of . cinema the.
ater. and soon will be turned over tx
the wreckers for its final chapter.
It's glitter and glamour had lone
since faded. Its collosal and far.
famed spectacles; its glainorous ira
dition Of gargantuan ensembles; its
gaudy and costly pageantry; It's car
nival attractions and exciting atmos-
phere-all have been gone for many q
month.
Once the whole world came to its
door. Once no visitor would think
Of coming to New York without
taking In" the Hippodrome. But
that was quite while ago.
Even the huge stage has shrunk to
meet the necessity Of q film screen
and vaudeville numbers.
A strange assortment Of specters
haunt the past and gloomy chambers
Of its back stage-ghosts Of great
clowns and Of singers, Of midgcts and
trained animals, Of ballet dancers and
circus queens, Of diving beauties and
fabulous freaks.
Here Marceline. the tragic clown,
made his great name-Marceline
most melancholy Of all the wearers OF
motley and most famous-and once
the richest, who died at last by his
own hand In q back hall bedroom.
The Hippodrome had sent his name
around the land-but here was q
clown who dreamed dreams, and was
not content with the echo OF laugh
ter, and who found himself ut last
alone. forgotten and in need.
Listening to the chatter Of the
stage hands who, year on year, have
shifted about the jigsaw bits Of illu-
sion, you'll find that brooding sad
ness has long hung over the place.
You'll learn that things amt
what they used to be-" Things "ain't
what they were" when 200 elephants
were herded into the catacombs be-
low -. and the subterranean dens
echoed with snarls and growls Of lions
and tigers. Things "ain't what they
were" when there was q Lilliputian
city to amuse the youngsters; q fam
tastic, unreal little world, inhabited
BY midgets In colorful attire.
Things "ain't what they were" when
the Hippodrome was the launching
ground for reath-taking spectacles
the ''loop-the-loop'' and the "loop
the gap" And when 500 girls danced
In one ballet.
Listening, you'll again hear the
story Of Jim Gillard. the stage elec-
trlctan, who was the first man to
loop-the-loop in q property automo-
bile and plunge at the other end into
the great theater tank.
And you'll hear the other stage
hand, Sidney Lutz, who talked his
way into chance to loop-the-loop
and then forgot to jump when the
time came.
what q riot that started.
Man. oh Mani" Yet Lutz survived and
lived to ripe old age.
And you'll hear Of Helen Carr, the
great woman high diver" who
slowly went blind from the shock Of
hitting her eyes against the water in
her plunge.
X \ X
SO they have come and gone
spectacular figures. reduced by time to
mere legends. Just as the Hipno-
drome will be reduced to wreckage.
