FOR CHANGE
GRANTED
Chief Justice Uner Permits
Shift on Claim That Only
Thus Can Fairness Be Sure

ROCKVILLE. Md, Dec. 10.-As
| a result Of the plea that the
State would not be able to get
"fair trial" Of murder charges
against Herman and Leroy Brady
in Montgomery county, Chief
Justice Hammond Urner in the
Circuit Court today ordered the
case be removed for trial to An
napolis.
The Circuit Court for Anne
Arundel county is now in session,
there and a speedy trial of the
case Is expected.
States Attorney Frank Parran
told the Judge the case Of Leroy
Brady had already been tried in
Rockville and had resulted in a
hung jury. He said this fact
was well known in the county
and he did not think a jury
could be secured that did not
have knowledge Of the case.
Hall Agrees to Move
Defense Attorney Frank Hall
said he was willing to have the
trial go to Annapolis because he
would be better able to get his
witnesses there and he felt sure
that a speedy trial could be OBJ
tanned.
Leroy and Herman Brady were
present during the argument and
listened intently. Leroy was
dressed in d blue suit with tie
and shirt to match, while Her
man wore a light brown suit
with tie and shirt to match.
They seemed in the best Of spirits
as the change in venue was de-
cided upon.
Happened Year Ago
Almost a year after the Seat
Pleasant bombing, in which Mrs.
Naomi Hall Brady, her 14-year-old
sister, Dorothy Hall, and her 19-
months-old brother, Samuel Hall,
were killed New Year morning, the
order for a change Of venue was
obtained.
According to detectives a box
was left on the porch Of Mrs. John
Buckley, across the road from the
home Of John Hall, aged grave
digger, some time between II
o'clock Saturday night, December
%, and $50 o'clock the next
morning.
Three Injured
The package was not delivered
to the Hall home for three days
owing to the fact that they were
new to that neighborhood. Mrs.
Brady's mother was severely in
jured while her two brothers, Les
lie. 16, and John, 8, likewise SUI
fered.
Leroy, an ignition expert, was
questioned in connection with the
making Of the Internal machine
and he and Herman were later
arrested.
Herman'S wife, Naomi, who was
only 18 years old, was an ex-
pectant mother, and it was alleged
that her death was caused by
plot to save the family honor"
her marriage to Herman having
been kept secret for quite some
time.
Leroy Was Tried First
On motion Of the defense at.
torneys, the case was moved to
Montgomery county where the
boys might have fair trial. Her.
man elected to be tried by the
three judges Of the circuit, while
Leroy, asking a jury trial, was
tried first.
On June 6, after 1S hours of
deliberation, the jury failed to ar.
rive at a verdict. Today it was the
turn,sof the prosecution, led by
Frank Parran, States attorney
for Prince Georges county, to ask
for a change Of venue, for the
same reason outlined by the de.
fense-to get a fair trial.

WHIPPING POST NEEDED

Only state in the Union, Delaware, uses the
whipping post punishment for law violators. This
relic of the old days when the cat was frequently
used has disappeared practically entirely form of
legal punishment.
Few will object to its disappearance, for it
cruel method at best Yet wonders if there not
times when a good thrashing with a whip is the only
means of adequately Furnishing those who violate the
law or outrage society.
Consider the cast of one Maurice Ford, 25 of Long
Beach, California.
His sweetheart had a small dog which she would
kiss and ondle thereby arousng the wrath of jealous
Maurice who believed he alone should be the recipient
of such affection
Flying into rage when he the dog being treated
in the afectionate described chivalrous Maur
ice seized the animal and dashed its head against
curbstone until it died The dog, incidentally,
Spitz, one of the smaller varieties
Arrested and brought into court, brave Maurice
sentenced to jail for 80 days I'm glad did it,, he
tol dthe judge, as he left court to start his jail
sentence.
1t is hard to understand such beastiality. man
who could do thing of that sort only deserve the
treatment accorded beast, and placing him beneath
the lash the only adequate way to punish him.
Such this make wish the whipping post
still in vogue confront those who abuse dumb
animals helpless and little children, but who
wouldn't speak in a loud voice to man.

HEROES REPEAT AGAIN

It's old story by this time for Captain George
Fried and Chief Officer Harry Manning heroes of the
Antinoe rescue in 1926 and the Florida in 1929
who again showed thense yes true of the sea on
Thursday night by hating their ship in nidocean on
an errand OF mercy.
Four years ago the world rang with The praises of the
two men and their the Florida when they res
cued the of the Antinoc after two days battle
with the clements a. in which two OF their own
crew were lost.
Last year Fried and Manning repeated their cour-
ageous act when they rushed TO the stricken FLORIDA
and saved her crew of 81
This week they informed by wireless that Ch4e1
Engineer Battam, Of the eastbound steamer Crawford
was anxious to return to New Orleans, where IRE
aboard ship had taken the lives of his wife and son,
leaving his daughter seriously burned and calling Tor
him.
Fried and Manning. still commanding the America
which figured in the Florida went to intercept
the Crawford Fried maneuvered his ship in the dark
ness TO within 500 yards of the Crawford with heavy
seas running. Manning launched the ships boat which
was rowed to the Crawford taking off Battam and pac
ing him safely aboard the America.
From all accounts it another excellent eNhlb-
ton of seamanship the part OF Fried and Naming
as well as a generous and brave act.
As in the two previous rescues, which made them
world heroes Manning and Fried each gives the credt
to the other.
None Of Us Ike to read of storms disasters or ac
cdents at sea, but is getting that when they 90
occur we wait for report that Fried and Manning are
headed for the They may not be well known
10 the public as Babe Ruth Gene Tunney or the Prince
of Wales, but Fried and Manning are two men anyone
would be honored in knowing.

LOCAL JUVENILES
GET THRILL OUT
OF LIONS VISIT

Leo the lion is n true artist.
When he growls out notice that an
M-G-M picture is to be shown at Il
playhouse, he seems forocious. Tins
noon he lay on the floor of his cage
in front of the Fox Imperial The
atre and never budged.
The kids crowded up, pressed
their noses against the plate glass
that surrounds the cage and tried to
encourage Leo to get up and DO
something, but he's wise old hon
and stayed put.
However, when his trainer Cap
tain Phifcr, went into the cage and
put him through his stunts, leo was
most obliging. He stretched, paved
shook himself, and growled in true
professional style, to the accompah
inment of many "gee whizzes' ana
ooh goshes", from his pleased Juven-
lie audience. Encouraged little
more by his trainer, Leon became
rather rambunctious and put consld-
cradle pep into the performance
convincing the Youngsters paradox
ically that while Leo is a good actor
he can also be Il dad actor.
Leo is some lion at that. Mcasur-
ing 81, feet from his nose to the tip
of his tail and weighing 735 pounds,
he can lay just claim to being the
largest lion in captivity. His head
is Is by l2la inches and is "somc
head, without being swelled.
The famous M-GM lion travels i'll
his own private motor cage, accom-
panied by Calliaphonc to provide
him with plenty of music.
Captain Phifer's offer to let some
youngster walk up and put his head
in Leo's mouth, or to twist the un-
gle monarch's tail, met with no ac-
ceptance. Evidently Leo is all right
TO look at but does not appeal to
II Centre juveniles as anyone to
treat too familiarly. He is making
trip around the world and left
here at l o'clock for Calexico and
san Diego.

gily as he went hopping over the
fields with his new kite
Mr.. Longears was very happy and
Jolly. Not that he was so crazy Just
atout flying kite, but il pleased
him TO make one, for then he knew
he hadn't forgotten the things he
learned when he was a small boy

Uncle Wiggily had fastened = long
string to his Kite. He laid the i';4'cr
toy down on the ground. walked off
= LITTLE way, uuwinding the string.
and then feeling the wind Just right
on his pink twinkiing nose, the rah-
LIT gentleman began 10 run. He
supposed that the kite would sal!
up into the air, tagging at the
string, and then would sail iust by
meath the clouds. But. instead of
his happening. the Kite Slid along
the field, taugling in the weeds and
almost breaking tac string.
''Oh, dear mel exclaimed Tn"lc
Wiggily. "rhiS is too ba'l should

A ~H4FpY ENDING" MISSES FIRE

When the United States entered the World y ar,
nothing helped arouse American sympathy for France
much than the plight Of the two lost provinces
of Alsace-Iorrane
These provinces, taken from the French by Germany
at the close OF the Franco-Prussian War; became sym
bols in the eyes of the American people, OF the light
Of democracy against autOcracy. And after the arms
tce, when French troops marched into StfaSDouEg
amid the hystercal cheers Of the pOpulace Ii seemed
a. if all Of the As2ce-I 0rraners troubles were over
Reunited with France they AaC nothing to worry them
i has been rather surprising, therefore, to reaZe
that dissatisfaction among the people of these recoV
cred provinces constitutes Of the most serious
problems facing the French government today. I'm
happy under the German rule, the people Of Asace-
Lorraine seem 10 be almost equally unhappy under
French rule
recent Issue Of the Foreign Policy Associations
information service helps 10 explain the situation.
To begin with, German is tho native tongue Of most
of the people Of these provinces the French have
ordered French made the official language with
fusion hardship and downright injustice the result.
On top of this the French government has for years
been ayowedy anti-clerical. The people Of Alsace-
Lorraine are deradlly Catholic. Ihc efforts Of the
French government to divorce church and state
bitterly resented along the Rhine. IN addition, France
has 4 stronly centralized government while Rhine pro-
vinces want large Gf elfG2Ternmen so that

BABY BLIMP IS
BIG ATTRACTION
LOCAL FOLKS

Gliding along through the air sill
emily and swiftly, often dipping
down until it was close to the roofs
of buildings in the business district,
the blimp "Voluntecr", owned by
the Goodyear Rubber Company, has
been an object of considerable in
terest to FL Centre residents yestcr-
day and today.
Having been prevented from com
ing here during the Imperial Coun-
ty Fair by adverse weather condi-
tions, the "Volunteer" arrived yes
terday afternoon from Los Angeles,
and Immediately began giving local
residents the pleasure of "a aerial
ride over the city. Arrangements
for rides were made through Nc
Neece and McNeece, local Goodyear
distributors.
Riding in the "Voluntcer' is de.
lightful experience. There is not
quite the thrill to it that there is
in an airplane ride, but it seems
| much more comfortable and perhaps
for that reason much safer, from 4
! landlubber's point Of view.
/ The blimp seems particularly easy
to handle and readily answered the
| hand of the pilot, Karl Lang, who
took the ship from the coast yester-
| day and handled it during the after
noon flights. With the editor of the
| Press aboard yesterday, the ship
was proceeding down Main street
when the Press office was pointed
ont to the pilot and instantly the
blimp was mancuvered above the
office and dropped down so that the
editorial pipe on the editorial desk
was almost discernible. (It proba.
bly, was smellable, inserts the limo
| type OPERATOR.
Uses Helium
This morning. with Bud Campbell
as pilot, the ship continued to take
| up local residents and later in the
| day was to visit Holtville, Brawley
and Calexic0.
The "Noluntccr" is l2s feet long
and 81 feet i'll diameter, equipped
with two 20 h. p. Ryan, ,Sicmens
motors, and was designed by Dr.
Karl ArnStcin, who has designed
some 20 Zcppclins. 1t is inflated
with helium and is considered UNI
usually safe. It's maximum speed is
60 miles an hour and it can climb 70
5000 feet.
Three passengers and tho pilot
provide a maximum load for the
"Noluntcer" and it can take off Or
land from an unusually small area.
Presence of the blimp at the In
porial County Airport and as school
was not in session today, it was the
big attraction for youngsters in this
part of the valley.
The blimp will remain here over.
