JURY To HEAR
. HATHAWAY'S
STORY
PIayboy Has Given 4 Versions
of Nurses Death; Session OF
Court Resumes Tomorrow

NEWPORT, r. l., June Il
QN.S0 Elliott ("Pinky"l
Hathaway, the small town ladies
man on trial for the murder OF
pretty Verna Russell, is going to
take the witness stand in his own
defense. But what the playboy
defendant will say was today a
matter of conjecture.
"Pinky's" lips have been sealed
since his arrest. There have
been no less than four different
versions of what happened the
night be kept his fatal date"
There was no session of court
today, an adjournment having
been taken until tomorrow
Here are the four versions oi
what happened as attributed tc
"Pinky" since his arrest:
Three robbers "stuck then
up" while they were in the lane
They told him to "beat it," He
jumped in the car and sped away
When he returned he found hel
body.
Girl Didn't Drink
2-Pinky and Verna had beer
drinking gin. They had a spat
She said she was going to walk
home. He said all right and got
in his car and drove away. leav
ing her there (In this connection
however, doctors who so far have
testified at the trial insist that
there were no indications that
Verna had taken even a single
drink of liquor that night.)
3IThey were parked in the
lane. Suddenly she collapsed
from heart trouble. He shook
her. She was numb. He became
panicky and drove away.
Tooth in Throat
4-She became ill while they
were in the Tiverton lane. She
started coughing. He became
alarmed, shook her by the neck
carried her out of the car, laid
her on the ground, and drove
away.
So far during the trial the de
fense attorneys through their
questioning of witnesses have in
dicated that Hathaway's defense
will be either that the girl dice
a victim of heart disease or that
she strangled on a piece of hel
tooth. A second autopsy on hel
body revealed piece of tooth ir
her throat, near the base of the
tongue.

$2,8OO-a-Year Agent
Smashed Capone's
Beer Racket

CHICAGO. June is u.N.S0.
It took $2.8OO-a-yeal man to
disrupt Capone's flourishing
illegal business of at least $20,-
100000 a year.
That man, Eliot Ness, %,
Department of Justice agent,
who was graduated from the
University of Chicago with a
degree of bachelor of philosophy
six years ago, took the Govern
ment job because he needed
one.
'Tt offered lots of excite
ment, tOO," he said.
He was amused once when
he and a companion gained
entrance to a Malta group
meeting in a supposedly fool
proof disguise only to hear the
man in back of him say:
@shall I put q knife into
him?"

OFFICIALS ROW
IN R|VERDALE

Dissension over the purchase
of $500 fire engine for the
town of Riverdale, Nd, is held
responsible for the abolition of
his post as chief of police of that
town, E. S. Aldrich, former chief,
believes.
At a special meeting recently
Mayor Max Vollberg abolished
the police force and declared that
the two town bailiffs now in
office would remain in authority.
A mass meeting will be held at
the firehouse tonight to decide
on selection of suitable apparatus.
Outstanding in the controversy
are Aldrich and Fire Chief Ed
ward Stewart. Aldrich contends
that the engine Stewart has in
mind is inferior to one of his
choosing, a $4,000 engine for
sale at the lower price.

thuSiaStic in its favor. In some of
the larger minor leagues broadcast
ing also is favored.
Much of the magnates' dislike for
broadcasting Of games was attached
to the manner in which the work
was done. They believed there was
too much criticism of players by the
microphone experts. 1t was to OBJ
Viate any such faults and insure its
patrons of an expert description Of

crlssing his new job, but this will
be the first time I ever played game
on the air."
If Speaker is successful in his new
venture 1t may open up new en-
deavor for retired ball players, who
are sufficiently good speakers TO
broadcast games. The experiment of
the Chicago station will be watched
with considerable interest both by
base ball men and radio officials.

ion, looks pretty clicky. Unnamed as
yet, the new circuit has the advantage
over the Government, Departmental,

Its players do not necessarily have to
be employed by the Government, Dis
trict or private concerns and play only
with teams representing their organi-
cations. The loop is wide open.

standing teams hereabout last year. is
one of the clubs in line. Columbia

terrific fight in the Capital City I'M

enter the battle.

room for argument as to the combined
opinion.
