DEFENSE IS.
READY To .
PLEAD

Dexter Churchill Dayton,
confessed slayer of Marjorie
O'Donnell, his sweetheart,
whom he strangled to death
in the Roosevelt Hotel October
Z, probably will go on trial
for his life within a week, it
was learned at the office of
the United States Attorney to-
day.
The defense will endeavor to show
that Dayton, in a blind drunken
passion, strangled his sweetheart
and they lay beside her dead body
in a drunken stupor for "a hours.
The confessed SLAYER will base his
defense on emotional insanity.
While Dayton is planning his de-
Tense, which he hopes will cheat
the chair. members of the staff Of
the United States Attorney are pre-
pairing to fight for verdict of
first degree murder, which carries
a mandatory death sentence.
That the murder was premedi-
tated, prosecutors are convinced and
point to the letter Dayton wrote to
his mother and also note written
to the supposed occupants of the
room In which he killed the girl,
that was overlooked by members of
the homicide squad and later found
by Robert j. Allen. of the Eighth
precinct, who also investigated the
case.

Government hopes to obtain its
verdict Of first degree murder.

about him long ago. Sure. he may
know a lot about gangland Killings.
SO do I. But, have you ever heard
Of one Of these birds cracking yet?
They don't"
Biege's wife wrote two threaten

 tract Pool Activities

New York. April ls R1stock prices made further recovery in to- days market under the impetus pro- vided by easier money rates and fav- orable trade newa.
 Pools again resumed activity on a large scale in a number of oil, steel, public utility and food shares. Adams Express scared nearly S1 points to a new high record at 73l as contrasted with the years low of Ss9 in January and a long list of other stocks were marked up two to nearly ten points.

 A further easing also was ap- parent in the time money market in which relatively little business has been transacted of late.
