YOUNG MARRIED WOMAN MURDERS
 HER AGED RIVAL
Slayer Is Wellesley College Graduate and Victim Was Wealthy. Spinster of 76

Wilkes Barre. Pa, April 10.

Mention of 8 strange "cult" was made by police. in their version of the killing of the aged woman, whom Mrs Thompson's letters, now in the hands of author ities. referred to as q witch Mrs Thompson was arrested in Pitts burgh Wednesday following discov- cry of Miss Dilley's body in her home near here several days before. The spinster's skull was battered and her throat slashed.
 District Attorney Thomas M. Lewis in a statement to-day said pos lice were satisfied that the former school teacher had slain Miss Dilley. Careful questioning of the young woman has led police to believe. Lewis said. that she is insane. A batch of more than 100 letters from Mrs Thompson to her elderly rival revealed. police said, desperate att. tempts of both women to gain the favor of the former college girls husband, Carl Thompson, a lumber salesman. Some of the letters, ac- cording to the police, contained vague threats.

Depriving the Governor of His Right to Name the Judges of New Haven City Court Is Step Back ward - Quotes Former Governor Baldwin as Authority
CHIEF JUSTICE
 WHEELER AS WELL
By GEORGE R. MORRIS, JR. United Press Stan Correspondent


 Hartford, Conn, April 10.--(UP) Governor Wilbur l.. Cross to-day vetoed the bill which would deprive the governor of the power of nomi- mating the New Haven city court judges, returning the bill to the gen. eral assembly with a message in which he attributed the measure di-i rectly to partisan feeling between q republican legislature and a dem- ocratic governor.
 In answer to the statements of ma jority leaders that the New Haven court appointment procedure vio- lated the state constitution, Governor Cross cited to the contrary such au- thorities as the late former Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, noted constitu- tional lawyer, former Chief Justice George w. Wheeler and the judicial council He termed the assembly's action in passing the bill "a step of all inferior court judges to the assembly.
 The governors message was transmitted to the senate and later will go to the house.
 After sketchIng the background Of the case--the passage in 1917 of q Dill calling for nomination by the governor for approval by the assem- bly, of the New Haven city court iudges--the governor declared.
 '"The bill which I herewith return without approval would restsye tht old method, in use before 1917. of eliminating the governor. frpn, any part in the selection of these judges.
 This step backward violates the Eest traditions of American g0yerIi- Inf nf Att, S&f most distinguished predecessors rec commended all judges be nominated ty the governor to the general as- sembly, but the same fundamental idea was either aggressively advoy cated or. accepted by Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton and Madison.

The late speakers little daughter, Paul lima, remains unaware that death has ended the career of her father, whose devotion and attachment to her were recalled by friends here. Mrs Buckner Wallingford. sister of Longworth, said Paulina knows on- ly that her daddy is "ill and some- where far away"
 The passing of the speaker means the end of the family of that name founded here by his grandfather, the first Nicholas Longworth. in 1894. He established the family fortune through real estate purchases and his son, the second Nicholas, became a judge of the Ohio supreme court.
