SEVEN CHANGED
OPINION, IS
RUMOR
Defense to Probe Reports
That Jurors "SWitched" to
Avoid Being Locked Up

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 81.
The verdict of second degree mur-
der returned against Leroy Brady
IN the Scat Pleasant bombing case
came as a compromise when the
Jurors, tired after five hours de.
liberation. wanted to go home
rather than be locked up for the
night.
This was the story rumored
around here today and defense
attorneys are investigating it. If
true, this will be an important
point in the motion for a new
trial for the convicted man, to be
argued before Circuit Judge Rob
ert Moss next Thursday.
Stands to 5
According to the rumors. the
jury stood deadlocked at 7 to 5
for acquittal The five standing
for guilty insisted on first degree
murder.
The seven standing for acquit.
tai, it is said. finally agreed to
swing to conviction if the other
five would reduce the degree of
guilt, and this was done so that
the jurors could return home
rather than be locked up in the
court house all night.
Both prosecution and defense
attorneys assailed the verdict of
the jury, saying that in a case
of this nature there should be
no such compromise, but that
if the man is guilty he should
be given first degree murder and
If innocent acquitted.
Under the verdict returned the
man is subject to a maximum
penalty of 18 years.
Herman's Case Scanned
At the Thursday session the
question of trying Herman Brady,
brother of Leroy, on the same
charge will also be taken up. The
brothers were indicted for making
and sending the bomb that
killed three persons in the John
Hall home in Carmody Road on
January l, 1880.
Those killed were Naomi Hall
Brady, expectant mother and
bride of Herman Brady: Dorothy
Hall, 4, and Samuel Hall, 10, her
brother and sister.
Possibility that Herman will
escape trial was seen as the prose
cution in presenting it's case at
tempted to show that Leroy con-
structed and placed the bomb.
In event that the motion for a
new trial is denied the defense
will propably take the case up to
the Court of Appeals in a final
attempt to win new trial.

Bears Appear Trapped

Fridays market was a winner,
from the bullish standpoint.
Transactions on the big board
were not far short of 100000
shares, the largest since Decem.
Der. Spirited advances in the
gas and electric light stocks re-
minded the old timers of 1929 of
the market action which preceded
the biggest bull market in history.
For the day as whole the 20
utilities in the standard statistics
list moved up 5l2 points, the
industrials ~ and the rails 1K2.
The composite average gained 29
points and now stands 16 per cent
above the December II low. The
utilities have advanced 26 per
cent since the middle of Decem-
ber, fact accounted for to some
extent by the routing of the
shorts who were influenced to
sell the market" by the PinChot
and Roosevelt victories in NoVem-
ber and the talk of Congressional
investigation and oppression of
the utility companies which fol-
lowed the Democratic landslide at
the polls. The probabilities are
that the bears have been paying
for their indiScretion this week.
further Rise Seen
A number of usually well
posted observers of the business
situation are of the belief that
some tangible signs of more-than-
seasonal improvement may soon
become visible. AS evidence of
this they point to estimates Of
automobile output of about 100000
units in the first quarter of this
year. This would be about Is
per cent below the first quarter
of 1880, but would represent a
gain of 10 per cent over the
fourth quarter of 1890, as against
the normal % per cent in former
years. Steel operations have
riser to As per cent of capacity
this week, as compared with "a
per cent in the last week of De
cember and "a per cent for the
month of December. If this rate
is maintained through the balance
of the month, the January pro-
duction will have averaged 21 per
cent over December, as against
normal Is per cent increase.
Forecast Expansion
A sustained advance in the
stock market can be maintained
only through the progressive eX-
pansion of trade and industry
from present levels. Most of our
business experts confidently fore
cast this expansion, with gen,
eral leaning to the shortening of
the time within which it may be
brought about.

UTILITIES KEEP.
UP ADVANCE
IN PRICE
Drop in Grains and Cut in
Rail Profits Discourage Bulls
But General Outlook Is Good
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK. Jan. "a G.N.S).
Though the stock market as
whole was held back at the week
end by profit taking and short
selling, the spectacular advance
in the speculative favorites was
resumed in the second hour.
Considering the extent of the
advance in the utility stocks
since Monday, the leaders in that
group gave an excellent account
of themselves, only fractional set
backs being recorded in the stocks
which have been head and should
erS above the rest of the group
this week.
Business reports at the week
end confirm the earlier state
ments of a moderate upturn in
important lines since the turn of
the year. Progress is naturally
slow, but in the right direction.
Auburn Auto started the day
2l2 points lower. but raced up 7
points from the opening, to 1861,
for net gain Of AZ points above
the previous close. international
Tel and Tel at 2714 was up 21s
for the day and 9 points above its
recent low. Nash led a moderate
rally in the motors and sold up
2 points at 1924. General Motors
broke into fractionally higher
ground, and Studebaker sold up
70 at 1874. Worthington Pump
moved up points at 70 at the
expense of the shorts.
American Tobacco sold off 312
points at los in response to re-
ported renewal of the cigarette
war. Allied Chemicals 7-point
drop to 16J was also an unset
ting factor. U. S. Steel and
other industrial favorites encoun-
tered stiffer opposition as the
short session drew to a close, and
prices of the active shares grad
ually settled into a lower level.
A further drop in grain prices
and shrinkage of 40 per cent
in the December railroad net in
come of the first 10 roads to
make reports was discouraging to
the bulls The cotton market fell
off about 10 points, with March
quoted at 1O.40 cents a pound.
The splendid performance of
the bond market was carried into
the weeks final session. Liberty
312s and Fourth 4Hd again
pushed through to new high
levels since 1929 and prime
American corporation bonds sold
higher.

The stock market having
broken out of its narrow rut,
in the largest volume of the
year, the question logically
arises as to whether a new

augurated. 1t also raises the
question as to the prospect
of business improvement be-
coming more pronounced in

BATTAL|NO STILL
KING OF FEATHERS
Defends Crown by a Decisive
Victory Over Miller in
10-Round Fight.

BY the Associated Press.
~INC1NNATI, Ohio. July 24.-The
featherweight crown remained
today on the brow of Bat Bat
talino Of Hartford, Conn, b.
virtue of his decisive 10-round victory
here last night over Freddie Miller
Cincinnati challenger.
Battalino knocked Miller to the floor
twice for counts of nine and the Sec
ond time down the challenger was saved
from knockout only by the bell.
Miller got of to bad start when he
took hard right to the chin in the
opening round Battalino had him
bleeding freely in the second. The chal-
lenger spared desperately TO win the
third, but after that it was Battalino's
fight all the way TO the finish.
The champions attack had Miller
firing badly by the fifth Miller took
short rights and let's on his midsection
in the sixth and was forced to clinch
at every opportunity.
A hard right to the middle sent Miller
to the floor in the eighth, and he barely
got up before the count of 10. Then
he arose only to be dropped again by
right to the chin. He was still down
at the bell.
Battalino staggered Miller repeatedly
in the ninth and sent him through the
ropes in the tenth with a right to the
head, but the challenger came back
at count Of two. He was hanging on
at the final bell.
The champion weighed l25 pounds, a
quarter pound more than the chal-
'enser. About $4,000 persons saw the
fight.

son, N. j., gemecock, and Jack
Sharkey. the big sailor man from Bos-
ton, are thinking about a return bout
to settle any question Of supremacy

Of Wednesday night.
The match, drawing 3o,588 paid ad-
missions. earned a total Of $223.356,
the net receipts, minus tax, being S2l2.-
100. OF this Sharkey received $63, 62d
and Walker S424l8. The Hearst Milk
Fund benefited to the extent of almost
$4,000.
Discussion Of a return bout began
almost as soon as Sharkey and Walker
left the ring at EbbetS Field. Sharkey
through his manager, Johnny Buckley
pressed for another match at is rounds
in August. but Mickey's shrewd pilot
Jack Kearns. thought 10 rounds would
be enough. A compromise at IL rounds
with an even split in the receipts, may
form the basis for an eventual agree
ment, perhaps in few days.
Jack Still Ambitious.
Sharkey. complaining that his poor
showing against a man he outweighed
by 80 pounds was due to ring rust. is
