TAYLOR APPEALS
15YEAR SENTENCE
Former Traffic Policeman Is
Denied Motion for New
Trial by Mccoy.

A sentence of Is years in the peni-
Tertiary was given Edward M. TaylCr,
% years old, former traffic policeman.
by Chief Justice Walter I. Mccoy in
Criminal Division / yesterday. Taylor
was convicted recently of assault to kill
and assault with a dangerous weapon
on William S. McBreen, gasoline filing
station employe at 1887 Benning road
northeast, shot on August 80. 1927.
Joseph Solomon and Vincent Shelby.
counsel for Taylor, noted appeal, and
TAYLOR was remanded
Taylor'S attorneys asking new trial
claimed that the verdict of the jury
was inconsistent with decision of the
Court of Appeals. holding that convic-
ton of a lesser offense raises a doubt
of guilt OF the more serious offense,
and that the prisoner is entitled to the
benefit of the doubt. Taylor, his coun-
sci commended had been convicted both
Of an assault to kill and an assault with
q dangerous weapon.
Justice Mccoy. in overruling the mo-
ton, suggested that the Court OF APP
peals could pass on the counsel's con-
tention and pointed out that the bullet
that wounded McBreen had been proved
almost to a mathematical certainty to
have been discharged from the pistol
issued to Taylor while in the police
service, through the testimony of fire.
arms experts. Taylor was not indicted
until last August. nearly year after
the shooting
The Government, whose prosecution
was conducted by Assistant United
States Attorneys William H. Collins and
Walter M Shea, conducted its case on
the theory that Taylor had had an
alteration with another employe OF
the same filling station over money
earlier in the week before the shooting,
and that he mistook McBreen tor the
other employe.

When Dr. Kimball said "go," little-known young man named Charles A. Lindbergh gave his ship the gun at Roosevelt Field, Long Island, shot out over the ocean, landed safely at Le Bourget Field. near Paris. and became a world hero over night.
 Not one of the fliers we had any, thing to do with was forced down by general storms at sea-" he said. "The. one west-to- least air tragedy. the failure of Old Glory, was due to an overloaded plane. It was sighted several hundred miles at sea and had been able to gain only an altitude of 300 feet.
 pr. Kimball believes that most failures of ocean flights have been due to overloaded planes which could not gain sufficient altitude to remain in the air.
 There never will be a single. defi- mite afr route across the Atlantic. in his opinion. Ocean planes may fly in one general direction. he said, but not on set course like steam ships. Pilots will be able to fly in one direction for while, then in another, taking advantage of winds and lodging the storm areas, their flights radio-guided by men like pr. Kimball.

SYNOPSIS: Hatred for the mysterious Roger Pell runs as deep in the village of Black water as the excavations for archaeological treasures under Ncwplace Abbey, which at tracted him to the community. Bcrtram Fotherbury, new own CT of the ancient abbey, is friendly toward him but es- peoiaIly intent is the antipathy of Marling, the Newplace par son. Grcnofen, who tells the story, is a newcomer and has grown to like Pell, but is more concerned with the flashing blue eyes. of Veronica Seabroke. Professor Laxton, eccentric an- tiquarian expert, interests him self in the Newplace diggings and especially in the profound enigma of Blackwater: Who is Roger Pell?

 ENVY WORKING GIRLS

LONDON, Aug 14-The girl 1 left behind me" of the old wartime song has become the girl who got there ahead of me- in these days of peacetime unemployment.
 Such is the complaint voiced by many British ex-service men who, out of work and discouraged, sec and hear and read about the grow ing army of women workers in Britain-most of them young wo- men of marriageable age.
 Right or wrong, these jobless men of 30 with the war years be- hind them feel there is a very real connection between the number of women workers in industry and the size of the male army of unem- ployed.
 One field of wage-earning still is uncrowded with women-the field of domestic service. Maids and cooks are so far from being a drug on the market that they actually are hard to find
 And so some of the younger men are beginning to take what the girls will not have. They are working as houseboys and cooks, solving at the same time the bread-and- but ter question for themselves and the servant" problem for their employers.
 Oddly enough, employment agen- cy executives say the masculine do- mestic workers are becoming more popular with those who have tried them than the parlor maids and other feminine help they used to have.
 Boys can be hired quite as cheap

 Government Meteorolog- ical Charts Courses for
 Atlantic Flights

TYR. JAMES II. KIM I) BALL, Government
 meteorologist, is the man who made possible seven successful transatlantic air plane flights. He is the man who gives the final word to those west-to-east fliers who match their daring against the Atlantic. And Dr. Kimball hasn't lost a flier yet. Not one aviator who followed the doc tors guidance has been forced down by storms.
 Yet this meteorological wizard Is opposed to ocean flying.
 "We've tried to discourage every one of them," he said. "Transatlan- tic flying isn't safe at present. But when flyers are determined to have . try at 1t the only thing we can do is give them every bit of assis- tance possible"

Chapter 3 TONGUES OF HATE

I returned home from my visit with Laxton determined to sound out Pell. The opportunity came the next day and I told him of Laxtons pertinent inquiries. Again Pell seemed on the verge of confi- dence.
 'Hmmm," said he. Then after a pause, 'Looke here, Grenofen, you and your mother have taken me for granted. "I1l ask you to go on taking me for granted till the whole thing blows up. Then you'll be amused"
 That ended the promised confi- dence.
 Fotherbury received a letter from Laxton the next day, advising that he would be in Blackwater the fol- lowing Monday. Fotherburg in vited me, Commander Seabroke Royle, Somerfield, Dr. Eastley and MT. Marling to his library Monday dlbSi HULL JO ilCtI blAJOll anu hCdl a paper, being prepared by Pell on the progress of the excavations.
 On Saturday morning, I, too, re- ceived letter from Laxton and a queer message it was. He expect cd to motor to Blackwater Sunday, asked the privilege of staying with us at Woodcot and-requested that I say nothing to anyone about his presence.
 The letter was typewriter. in- cluding the heading British Mu- scum" By chance I noted the envelope and discovered that the letter ostensibly originating in the British Museum, had been posted at Tayistock in Devon, 200 miles away.
 At Pell's inn, I learned he had gone for the day and would be back Sunday evening. I had barely returned to Woodcot, when Mar ling and Dr. Eastley came to me
 That fellow Pell's fitted" Mar ling blurted out. "The whole things blown up, MT. Grenofen. As soon as a real archeologist butted in, Pell's bubble was pricked."
 I stared amazed, at Marling.
 Tn that case" said I, it seems rather a good thing he's fitted"
 Without answering me, Marline continued:
 Would you think it a good thing if Miss Seabroke were involved in Pell's flitting?"
 I felt jump of nerves but Mar ling babbled on about the ghastly farce Mondays meeting would be He asked that I intervene to keep Professor Laxton from attending This I refused to do and then Marling asked that l get in touch with Miss Seabroke. Again l de- clined.
 T thought" Marling said then you possibly had enough interest in Miss Seabroke to prevent her name being mixed in scandal"
 What scandal?" demanded.
 "You force me to a thing I didn't want to say. Pell is an ex-convict.'
 So Markings bombshell burst.
 Why was he dragging me into this business and using Veronica for the purpose? Unwillingly, he admitted he had made the same charge to Eastley, Seabroke, Royle and Somerfield. He evaded my question as to Fotherbury but con- yincingly disclosed himself as the source of all the anti-Pell feeling
 Marling spoke so confidently that for some moments I did not doubt his statements. Then the thought process began to function and I realized that mystery man Pell was, | could not believe him criminal. [ had only Markings word and was prepared to doubt that. After futile pleas that l head off Laxton, they left. On sudden im- pulse, I ferried to Passage and went to see Royle at his cottage and found Somerfield with him ,oth in a state of objection and, as

II guessed, because of Veronica.
 Veronica had left Blackwater a week before to spend a fortnight with Mrs. Fairfax, friend, in Ken sington. Royle and Somerfield, at l a loose end, had phoned Mrs. Fair fax to invite Veronica to new crook play that night Mrs. Fair fax informed them that Veronica had left for home that morning when young man called for her She thought him one of them. They thought it vas I.
 You thought of me. Next guess -Pell?"
 He must have been one of 'em. II [ One of whom?" I asked, sur prised.
 Didn't I tell you that soon after she'd gone another man called with another car. I would say that it was that blighter, young Fother- bury"
 Why not call on Veronica this evening"" said I, and ask what sort of a trip she had on the road today?"
 Bully idea!' they both shouted.
 did not, however, put the ques- ton to Veronica that Saturday eve ming, for she was not at home and Mrs. Seabroke told us she was not returning until the followin g Wednesday or Thursday.
 I sat at Woodcot later, gazing down to the sea, so abstracted and for so long, that my mother made a startling statement:
 "Tom-you're in love!"
 I passed it off, and for once I had not been thinking of Veronica's blue eyes, a thought that always brought a little disturbance about the diaphragm.
 had been thinking of Veronica s ride in Q motor car and possible circumstances of the Seabroke's connection with Roger Pell
 There was Markings assertion that Pell had been in prison. Like a flash there came to mind Pell saying something about the Romans being humane to their prisoners.
 At supper-time the next night, Laxton had not arrived but about nine in the evening Roy.e and Somerfield came-to talk of Veron- ica. Royle had some startling news-Veronica was not. at Ken sington. He had just telephoned
 They fingered until after ten myself on tenderhooks lest Laxton should turn up and his elaborate plan for secrecy thus spoiled. I was so relieved when they prepared to go that I said I would walk down to the main road with them.
 Just after we had come in sight of the road, we saw first ore and then another figure fit by the bot tom of the lane, running.
 "Hello!" said Somerfield, and loped down the remaining yards. Royle and I followed.
 Somebody in deuce of a hur- ry," said Royle.
 Listening, we heard quick foot steps, which suddenly stopped. Then la mans voice. Then a woman's. Then little squeak as of alarm.
 Instantly we all three sprinted. Tn a hundred yards we came upon her, leaning against the bank and panting.
 "Veronica!" Royle cried.
 There he goes" exclaimed Son. orfield, dashing after a shadow. Copyright, 1929, Wm. Morrow Co)

Expert Handles His Last Snake

apo woods. accompanied by Paul
Snyder, friend and snake enthusi-
asst.
They were on Little Tor mountain,
pursuing separate trails 100 yards
apart, when Snyder saw RATHER be-
tween four and five feet long gliding
over a rock ledge near his feet.
AS the snake squirmed into a Gre
vase Snyder ducked to catch its tail
so that he might swing it out with
a quick jerk into the open and pin it
with a forked stick he was car
rying.
AS he stopped, another snake, ap-
parently the mate of the first reptile,
lunged from a hiding place in the
grass. 1t sank its fangs into the hand.
Snyder shrank back calling to his
friend. and the reptiles took to cover.
With his companion at his side, Sny-
der sucked the two wounds, sought to
squeeze out the poison and used a
handkerchief as a tourniQuet about his
arm to shut off the circulation. Hos
pital and serum treatment followed,
but to no avail.
