PRETTY NURSE
CHOKED, SAYS
TRIAL EXPERT
Testifies for State Against
Son of Legislator, Held
in Murder.
BY FRANK MURPHY


NEWPORT, r. l., June 19.-Dr.
George Burgess Magrath, white
haired Boston pathologist who has
investigated $4,000 to 10000 deaths
during his long career, today ex-
pressed the opinion that the death
of Verra E. Russell was due ito
the effects Of compression on the
neck"
The celebrated medical examiner
was placed on the witness stand
as the state sought to strengthen
its contention that the pretty
STUDENT nurse was strangled by
Elliott r. Hathaway, %, son of a
Massachusetts, legislator, who is on
trial charged with the murder.
DR.. Magrath was asked by At
torney- General Benjamin M. Molly
man, chief prosecutor, to state his
opinion as to how the girl died.
I'm my opinion, first of all, death
was not due to any natural cause, p"
said the pathologist. Secondly, it
was due to the effects of compress
sion on the neck, with all that may
follow-tl1e cutting off Of breath,
compression of the great blood YES
sells on the sides of the neck, pres
sure on the nerves on the sides of
the neck. The sum Of all in my
opinion was the cause Of death"

It's Alarming

Charles D'Agostino, who had
sounded the alarm, pointed to a

Ralph, q 28-year-old midget
weighing less than 100 pounds,
who claims the world flagpole

last summer.
For fifty-nine hours Ralph had
been parked high Oh the tight
wire, seeking to establish world
record in this fascinating sport as
well. He had grown faint, and
fearing he might tumble from his
precarious perch, he decided to
call out the fire department.
Firemen obligingly raised a
ladder and took him down. Suf-
fering from exposure he was
taken to Brockton hospital.

FORECASTS 0, K,
8 Times IN 10
Weather Mans Accuracy Is
Proved by Record.

Babe Ruth, emperor Of baseball
dom, has nothing on the United
States weather forecasters in Indi-
ana when it comes to hitting the
ball on the nose.
Those who predict the weather
for the morrow for indianapolis
and Indiana are credited with a
high average by the federal weather
headquarters at Washington.
Each forecast made in America is
checked against the actual OUT
come, and the records of this Jeri-
flcation process reveal that Indiana
forecasts were 94.7 per cent correct
in January of this year.
In February, the weather prog
nosticators were 92.3 per cent right,
and in March were Sol per cent
correct.
Although later figures have not
been compiled by the federal bureau,
it is estimated that the EIoosier eX-
perts still are batting around 50 per
cent or higher.
So when J. H. Armington, the
senior United States meteorologist
here, tells The Times that it will
be fair and warmer" on the NOR
row, it's better than a 9-to-1 bet
that you won't need an umbrella.

BRONZE AGE RELICS
FOUND IN MACEDONIA
BritOns Excavate Deposit Contain
ing Two Occupation Levels.

By United Press
ATHENS, June 19.-Relics of the
bronze age have been sunearthed by
the British school during a years
excavation in Macedonia.
Working on a site in western
Macedonia, at the village of Armen-
ochori, near Florina, the expedition
discovered a deposit containing two
occupation levels. Both belong to
the early Macedonians bronze age
culture, which is known from pre-
Yious excavations by the school in
other parts of Macedonia to have
fiourished about 250O-20O0 B. G.
In the upper level we're found
thirty whole vases, each with two
high-swung ribbon-shaped handles,
a form which was to have great
vogue in the succeeding period in the
south and throughout. the subse-
quent history OF Greek pottery.

erican Golfer Says Armour @ British Win Hoa Set Pace Meet
Armour Is Compiling Record
That Compares With Hagen's

American professionals. Since he turn
ed professional six years ago, Tom Ar
mour has won every major open cham
pionship in the world and mas not been
without an important title since 1927.
That year he won the United States
and Canadian opens: the following
Summer he took the Metropolitan, and
in 1929 he captured the Western with
total of 273-the lowest scoring in
this history of that event. Last Sum-
mer lie won the Canadian open for
the second time and then annexed the
p. G. A. title.
Quite a record for a shell-shocked
shrapnel-torn war veteran. When the
World War began in 1914, Thomas Ar
mour was one of the first to go out
with Scottish regiment AS bold a
soldier as he is golfer, he advanced
rapidly until he became one of the
youngest combat majors in the British
Expeditionary Forces. Because of his
wounds 1t was necessary for Armour
completely to rebuild his game follow
ing the war, but so well did he perform
the reconstruction that he now is re-
garded as the greatest iron player in
the world. And in wooden play and
putting he is one of the best.
Armour'S victory surprised few Of his
brother professionals here in America.
Carnoustie demands needle splitting

PRINCESS ANNE COUNTRY CLUB,
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, June g.
Washington was certain of a place in
the final round of the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association championship as the
tourney entered it's Semi-f1nal phase to-
day over the reconditioned course of
this club.
George F. Miller, the Manor Club
champion, who has genius for laying
his shots dead from any angle Of the
golf course, met Walter r. McCallum
of the Washington Golf and Country
Club in the lower half, while Billy
Howell of the Country Club of Virginia,
winner last year of the Midatlantic title
and of the Columbia tourney, met Ernie
Caldwell, meteoric Baltimore youth, who
won the qualifying medal.
Whatever happened in the first round
today Washington was certain to place
man in the final round. Howell was
favored to win the semi-f1nal today
from Caldwell, in view of the 70 posted
yesterday by the defending champion
in the opening match play round, and
his sparkling play in the second round,
where he defeated Lieut.. Short of the
Norfolk naval base by an overwhelming
margin. Caldwell won both his matches
by good margins, too. defeating Tom
Cole, o Baltimore rival, in the opening
round.
Miller sprung the real sensation of
the tourney when he downed Harry G.
Pitt in the first round. Miller is the
man who won the Manor Club title last
year and master with the pitching
clubs. After beating Pitt, he beat DR..
