WIFE AIDS MATE
SHE WOUNDED
Photo by International

Mrs. May c. Brown, department
store clerk. who yesterday won her
freedom in District Supreme Court
from a charge of assault with intent
TO kill. growing out OF the shooting
of her husband, wishes that her hus-
band also be released from a charge
facing him.
In letter to Assistant District
Attorney Joseph c. Bruce, the 90
year-old wife says she will not
appear" against Brown.
Brown is charged with a statu'
tory violation growing out. of his
arrest with Mrs. Lillian A. Johnson
in October. 1927.
Mrs. Brown exercised the femi'
nine prerogative of changing her
mind after the charge against
Brown had been continued seven
times. When it came to trial in
Police Court two weeks ago, the
jury disagreed.
After the fourth continuance. on
February Is of this year. the wife
met her husband in a corridor of
Police Court and shot him four
times.
According to prosecutors and po-
lice officers, she had continually *
pressed impatience with delay IN
the bringing of Brown to trial.
and once openly accused a detective
of showing signs OF inertia over
some aspect of the case.
Wants Case Dropped
Assistant District Attorney Irwin
Goldstein prosecuted the statutory
charge against Brown.
Bruce. who prosecuted the wife IN
a preliminary hearing In Police
Court on the charge Of assault with
intent to kill, said she told him
she did not wish him to take her
side of the charge against her hns-
band. and he assigned an assistant
to it.
The prosecutor said he has Mrs.
Browns proposal to drop the charges
against Brown under advisement.

Soviet Sunday School Has
A Wide Choice of Studies
By Jessie Lloyd, Fed. Press
By Jessie Lilo

Workers in Russia have wide
variety of interests, if you can
judge by the courses in the "Sun-
day University" of Leningrad,
which range from "radio" and
"brain and soul" to the history of
literature and art.
The Sunday University is not
really a university at all, but a
series of short Introductory survey
courses for workers who have had
no education, except the ability to
read and write and figure. 1t is
arranged for those who are not
able to go to a real university and
who find the night school incon-
venient. The lectures are free and
are held Sunday morning. They are
supplemented by informal discus
sion or laboratory groups, as well
as by excursions to museums, sci
entific institutions, factories anC
spots of historical interest.
Perhaps it is natural that mos
of the courses are scientific o
technical: radio, photography, wa
and industry, physics, chemistry i,
daily life, iron and steel in indus
try; brain and soul; the hygiene o
/ a workers family. Some of tn
economic and historical course
sound very heavy: historical mater
ialism; recent European history
capitalist and socialist economics
bourgeois and proletarian culture
. the history of literature.

Medicine Lake to Opheim last week
via the Galloping Goose of the G..
