her to Sheffield University. where

TO be a teacher, but, instead. came

THREE YEAR FIGHT
 SAVES GANG| CERO
Gallo, Found Guilty After Short
 Jury Conference

Boston, Oct. 3 (UP)-Gangi Cero, of Brooklyn, N. Y, was free today after being in the shadow of the electric chair for three years.
 The same Suffolk superior court Jury that acquitted the condemned .man last night after two hours and 20 minutes deliberation. found Sam sJel Gallo, of Revere, codefendant, aa.uilty of the first degree murder of a north end street here in June, 1927
 Gallo had been convicted once be- fore of the same crime and Zero himself had heard the death sen tence pronounced for the Fantasia murder. It was agreed that only one of the men had committed the crime. A new trial was granted them and their cases were heard jointly by the jury which reported last night.
 , Tried to Bribe Witness Gallo first appeared in the case when he tried to bribe a witness who gSave testimony in Cero's trial that aided the state in convicting him. Hiss attempt to save Cero was disas- tro,as for Gallo.
 C@ro once watched the electric chaif at state prison tested on the night he was to die for the murder. A last minute reprieve saved him.
 Even ,before the jury returned it's verdict Zero was sure he would be freed. When word reached him that the jury was about to announce the result of its deliberations, he clapped his hat on his head and said, T go now A jaiser restrained him.
 Gallo heaFd the jury's verdict without the ssolace of relatives or friends other than Vincent Garro, whom the state, paid $500 to defend him. He refused to talk even to his lawyer.

GRAPE GROWERS
 MAY FACE COURT Intentional Violation Of Law to
 Mean Arrests

Washington, Oct. UP)-Re- ported plans of California grape growers and distributors to capital ize the governments attitude toward the home wine-maker have drawn the announcement of Prohibition Director Amos w. F. Woodcock that prosecutions would follow any con- certed move to market grapes for wine purposes.
 He made it plain that the 1m- munity for the householder who de- sires to make wine for his own use will not apply to those seeking to. provide wine making ingredients or utensils on a commercial basis.
 Ut is against the law knowingly to sell grapes or anything else for the manufacture of intoxicating liouors," he said. "The whole ques- tion of violation hinges on the in tent of the seller. The burden Of proof rests on the government to show illegal intent
 The statement came after Wood- cocks attention had been drawn to grape advertising in trade journals. He denied that any "drive' against grape concerns was planned ana sald the matter would be considered in the regular order of enforcement.
 The government has had difficulty prosecuting wine makers because there is no limit for alcohol placed on the product of fruit juices and a jury may make it's own definition of an intoxicating liquor.
 Home brew is in a different cate- gory. Woodcock said. Beer contain ing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol is illegal and a house. holder could be prosecuted for pos sessing it. Evidence of sale is re- quired for issuance of a search war rant, however.

HO0VER'S RAILROAD
 D|C7UM INTERESTS
Two Interpretations Placed on
 Presidents Words

Washington, Oct. 3 P-A para graph in President Hoover's speech of last night before the bankers convention at Cleveland became in stantly the subject of intereste1 speculation and interpretation in both railroad circles and official quarters responsible for railroad regulation. It was a section which expressed the desirability of amend ing the transportation act of 1920 to remove "handicaps" to railroad functioning.
 Considerable diversity in the opinions as to how the president in tended the reference to apply was evident. In behalf of the important and various railroad groups inter ested in consolidating present operating systems of carriers into larger units, it is suggested that the mention dealt with the shaping of new legislation to facilitate that en- terprise Some strength was lent to this view by previous presidential utterances and messages to con- gress.
 However, leading railroad spokes- men frequently have questioned principles incorporated in other phases of the act touching on valuation, the recapture of excess earnings, and standards of return by which the interstate commerce com- mission has power to fix rates Since the reference conceivable might apply to any or all of these matters, it was assumed in most discussions today that President Hoover will specify his wish for changes in future addressesVr mes sages to congress. A variety Of bills Is in congressional files tentatively outlining new legislation on all the phases of railroad control mentioned and on others as well.

Mr.. Phillips, that 1 told you I had

Maybe if I was right once" he Sug-

planned, "but she's under contract

And johnson frowned. Anne
Winter? But she's an ingenue type.
This is pretty heavy stuff for her,
isn't it?" He turned to Phillips for
confederation, and Phillips nodded
his head in agreement.
"Her spot is musical comedy or
revues. She's got a peach OF a
voice"
at think" Dan said, you'll find
that Anne Winter can do just about
anything you ask her to do"
Johnson's eyes twinkled. "You
do? That's q pretty large order,
isn't it,"
"I know it, but she played dra-
matte roles on the stage, you know,
and that's her real ambition. But
she's never had a chance to show
what she could do.

ing or dancing in pictures when she
came to Hollywood, but that's what
they spotted her for.

that's me of the funny things
about the motion picture business,
Mr.. Johnson; little accidental things
get people started off on an en-
tirely different track sometimes.
Anne Winter never had a vocal
lesson in her life, and yet it was
her voice, more than anything else,
that caused you to give her a con-
tract. She can sing, all right. but
she can act, too"
The twinkle had not left Mr..
Johnson'S eyes. rs she a friend of
yours?" he asked. "You seem to be
pleading her cause rather we'll. In
fact, I'd say you were pretty en-
thuSiastic."
"She is, yes" Dan smiled. He
said boldly. And I am" He had
been prepared to encounter some
annoyance on the part of the studio
executive; Johnson's pleasant skep-
ticism troubled him not at all.
