JERRY BUCKLEY MURDER HAS YET
 TO BE CLEARED
Three Men Accused of the Crime Acquitted By Jury Two Rearrested for Other Crimes
By PAUL WEBER (Cnitcd Press Staff COrrcsDondcntl

(Onltcu IfcSS StOH COffcSDOnucnt)
 Detroit, April 22-UP)--Every legala resource of the State of Mich- igan has failed to convict three killing in the city's history the murder of Jerry Buckley.
 After seven months of grand jury investigation and eight weeks of trial. jury last night returned a mot guilty verdict, freeing all three defendants.
 The acquitted men, Ted PizZino, Joe Bommarito and Angelo Livec- chi, were overjoyed. But the joy of two of them was short-lived. PiZZino and Livecchi were immediately re- arrested-the former on another murder charge, and the latter for allegedly jumping a $20,000 bond in Rochester, N. Y.
 Pizzino Is under indictment charging him with the murder of William Cannon and George Collins. alleged Chicago narcotic peddlers. than 50 feet from the spot where Buckley was killed three weeks later.
 Livecchi has been wanted in Ro- chester since 1926, police said, in connection with payroll robbery.
 Gerald F. Buckley was political commentator of radio station WMBC. His bitter radio attacks were concentrated for months on the regime of Mayor Charles Bowles. On July 22, 1880, Bowles was re- called at a special election.
 The state charged that PiZzino and Bommarito were two of the gunmen and that Livecchi acted as finger man." beckoning him into the hotel. Buckley's death, Prosecutor Harry s. Toy charged, Was ordered by u large liquor ring which was al- legedly interested in Bowles' ad- ministration.
 The jury apparently discarded the testimony of George Jackson, color ed porter at the hotel. Jackson described Pizzino and Bommarito entering the lobby, drawing guns, and advancing to where Buckley sat.
 The verdict was announced amid wild scenes of cheering and disor- der. The sympathy of the court room crowd appeared to be with the defendants.
 Mrs Rose PlZzino. of New York. who had been with her husband throughout the long trial threw herself into his arms and cried: "Oh God! You have answered all my prayers" She telephoned the good news to her two children in New York.

Took Dare And
 Cops Took Them
-Neighbors Phone Police Judge Suspends the Sentence

This Is spooky story, or rather its authors would have you accept it as such. while court officials are inclined to the idea at present that 1t Is tale that should be placed in the classification of the 'spoofy".
 There was a burglar alarm broad cast over the telephone at 8:45 o. clock last evening. The receptive ears of Lieutenant Milton Mac Mullen registered attention and thoughts of speed and service. Sev- eral cops, including members of the motor patrol were soon speeding in the direction of the famous Wright mansion at the intersection of East Main street and Idylwood avenue. Neighbors had observed three youth fu1 forms sneaking into the resi-, dence. that has been landmark of that section for years. Although realizing that there was no one re- siding in the place they suspected that vandals might do considerable damage. They phoned the police.
 When the officers arrived at the place and surrounded it, they caught their prey-three badly frightened youngsters. They were scared of the uniformed police and their menacing nightsticks, but in court to-day they gave as their ex- planation that they had entered the home to prove that they were not afraid of ghosts. They had been taunted that they were "yellow" and that spooks of the night would carry 'em away If they ventured in- to the deserted mansion. They invaded the portals of the home that carries with 1t history of the de- ve1opment of "out east" They found no spooks or white costumed spirits. but as the story runs they were captured by blue-uniformed beings-cops.
 Before Judge T. V. Meyer to-day Albert Onofrio. IS. of the Plank road and James Gaglione. IT. of 1863 East Main street and a 15- year old companion entered the plea of not guilty to illegal entering. In their own youthful fashion they claimed that they had heard that the home, the mansion of the hill overlooking Hamilton park was in- fested with evil spirits, ghosts, spooks or whatever your active im- agination calls unearthly things.

They were dared to enter it. They accepted the defi--and were ar- rested.
 Attorney Harold Green, who is the custodian of the place. ohce the abode of the Wright brothers tn- formed the court that considerable damage had been done to the place by uninvited visitors. There was no direct evidence against the three ghost hunters and Judge Meyer imbued with a curiosity in their unique alibi granted continuance of 30 days and warned the young sters not to trespass on private property in the future.
 The "spook stalkers'' accepted the sentence with evident appreciation of the leniency shown.

 SAYS WOMEN WILL
 NEVER RULE WORLD

By NEA Service
 London--"Women will never domi- nate the world. If that ever happens, then civilization must perish"
 Such is the opinion of c. K. Ches- terton, famous editor and author. who thinks that the woman's place is in the home and the more she is out of 1t the more difficult situa- tions she creates for man to com- pete with.
 Not long ago women rose from the freside and declared in a chorus that they would not be dic- tated to--and so they became ity- pists." he says. "If man had glori- fled the household tasks and said, how wonderful Is woman's perform ance of these tasks, how magnificent! feminism would not have run wild.
 And about woman's new free- dom. Woman hasn't freedom. She had much more freedom in the home. At least, there she had the liberty of throwing furniture about. She could vary her work with her moods. Now she has become a slave to her employer"

New York, Sept. 3.-Those who go
in tor ~superstitions and hoodooes have
been getting out their statistics since
the tragic death Of Helen Walsh,
beautiful Follies girl, who was fatally
burned in an explosion aboard a
yacht.
It seems that, just two years ago,
there was q 18th" tragedy among
famous and beautiful chorines. The
devotees Of the eerie in fatalities de-
cided that there would be q plague of
evil endings for some time thereafter,
due to the influence Of the numeral
13-but there wasn't.
In fac> considering the thousands
Of lovely girls who have cone and
gone; considering their temptations,
their disappointments and their va
ried experience, surprisingly few have
figured in misfortunes Of any sort.
The "13th," by the way, was the
lovely red-haired Peggy Davis, who
drove her coupe over q cliff not far
from Nice, France. She had married
David Townsend, a wealthy young
American.
And the first was q little dancer,
Lois Davidson, who died from in
fluenza. She was in the same troupe
as Bert Williams. the popular col
ored comic of Williams and Walker
fame, who died not long a~fterward.

Twisting Insurance

Every citizen should be on his guard
against "twisting'-a sales approach
Of INSCRIPTIONS life insurance agents.
The aim of the twister is to dis
satisfy a prospect with his present
policy in order to sell him one in an
other company. To do this he en-
ploys half truths and downright mis-
leading statements, in the hope of
personal gain. And in almost every
instance the policy holder is the loser
If he consents to the change.
North Dakota long has regarded
such Misrepresentation as a felony
and Texas has followed suit. Now the
insurance superintendent of the Dis
trict of Columbia is seeking legisla-
ton which will authorize him to, sus-
pend or revoke the license Of any
agent found guilty Of this pernicious
practice.
1t is to be hoped that all states will
follow these leads. The owner Of Q
policy In any responsible company
cannot gain by switching to another
concern. He loses the cash value of
his policy and borrowing privileges.
he must often pay a higher rate be-
cause of advanced age, and the new
company may not be SO sound as the
old one. To millions Of workers. life
insurance represents the sole savings
of a lifetime, and the twister should
be prevented from taking advantage
of those who are too ignorant or too
careless to guard against him for
themselves.

Tomatoes Naturally Ripened Are Rich
Source of Vitamins
Ripening by Ethylene Gas Also Approved but Tests
Show Vitamins Are Destroyed In Process

matoes, mature geen tomatoes RIO
ened with ethylene and immature
green tomatoes ripened with ethylene
were tested on animals ss to their
content Of these three vitamins.
The evidence indicates that natur-
ally rtpened tomatoes are q better
source Of vitamins A, B and G than
any Others studied. No material diff
ference was observed in the vitamin
A content Of any Of the lots, nor of
the vitanlin B content. However, the
vitamin g value Of tomatoes seems to
increase as the fruit develops and
approaches the mature rtpened con-
dition.
Naturally ripened tomatoes con-
tanned the most vitamin G, full
grown green tomatoes were next and
the small immature fruit contained
the least Of all. The ethylene treat
ment Of the tomatoes does not pro-
duce any significant change in their
vitamin G potency.
It Is important to point out that
In their studies the investigators have
used only the juice Of the tomato,
whereas previous investigators have
used both the pulp and the juice. So
far as the use OF tomato Juice as a
source Of Wtamins is concerned, the
government investigators feel that
vtne-ripened tomatoes are preferable
to those picked green and treated with
ethylene gas to develop the color
Characteristic Of ripe fruit.
There Is no evidence that ethylene
ripening has any bad effect on the
vitamins that may have developed in
the products up to the time when they
are treated with ethylene.
