 Offers Thrills State Theater Feature Stars Powell and

once again Warner Bross. have produce a sure fire hit.
 If you're looking for something delightfully."- different in the way of motion picture entertainment--see Jewel Robbery" at the State the- ater, which opens today with Will liam Powell and Kay Francis again together in the same vehicle.
 Powell Is the arch-criminal of this sparkling melodrama-but what q criminal! For this is no story of an ordinary jewel-robber and Powell is no ordinary robber. He is a super-Raffies, outwitting the police of Europe at every turn, robbing his aristocratic victims with manners that are the equal of their own; charming them with his polished personality until women are willing to part with their hearts as well as their diamonds.
 The story Is laid in modern Vien. ma, and for an hour the audience is thrilled and amused with what happens when Europe's most ac- complished thief finds himself face to face with Vienna's most fasci- hating noble-woman. Kay Francis Is the Baroness Teri, whose boast 1t has always been that no man could thrill her as could dia- mond. Collecting precious stones has been the ruling passion of her life-until the afternoon when she, her husband and her friends arc the victims of The Robber's'' most daring coup in Vienna's most ex- elusive jewelry shop.
 For the first time in her Iuxur- ious vain existence, the Baroness forgets her jewels in her admira- ton for man. And though the Robbers enterprise is successful. he finds himself madly in love with het beautiful Baroness.
 Having stolen the lady's jewels and her heart along with them "The Robber' cooiy proceeds to steal the. lady herself. by a ruse as clever and daring as anything you have ever witnessed in fiction.

Boston, Sept s-(UP)-Ten character witnesses, including three police officials and a judge, testified to-day in behalf of Alfred w. Bedard, 47, of Pawtucket, R. l., seeking a pardon after serving nearly eight years of 8 life sentence for second-degree murder.
 Bedard was one of the accom- plices of Celestino Madeiros, young New Bedford Portuguese executed at state prison the same night that Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were electrocuted for an- other crime in 1927. Madeiros was put to death for staying an elderly cashier during a hold-up at a Wrentham bank.
 Testifying at 8 hearing held at state prison this morning before the state parole board on Bedard's petition for a pardon, District Judge Raymond J. McMahon or Pawtucket described the lifer as a particularly sympathetic man with Thigh reputation" He added that he saw nothing In Bedard to convince him that, if re- leased, the lifer would prove a menace to society. In view of the modern tendency to rehabitate men, tn ejudge said, he "would not hesitate to say he should be par doned."
 Police officials who testified for Benard were Captain Timothy F. Leahy, a lieutenant, and a patrol- man, all of Cambridge, where the prisoner formerly was employed as a garage mechanic.
 Bedard, testifying in his own be- half. said he had been drunk Tor three weeks prior to meeting his confederates in the hold-up that led to the murder. At that time, he testified, he was worth $20,OOO

Wife Alleges Husband Unfit
 To Rear Child
Mother Testiies of Improper Advances Made By Son.
 in-Law During Visit to His Home - habeas Corpus Action Serves to Air Family Troubles of
 Prominent New Workers

sef and Mrs Margaret O'Neill Emonts.
 Mrs O'Neill's testimony was the highlight of this morning hearing. An attractive, neat appearing wo- man, Mrs O'Neill said she visited the Emonts last March. They went to the movies and returned to the apartment around 11:30 o'clock. She retired on a couch in the liv- ing room and was reading when Emonts, she said, came over to her and made improper advances. She said she struggled with him for half an hour before she finally repulsed him.
 She was placed on the witness stand by Judge James E. Brinker- hoff of Stamford, appearing for Mrs Emonts. On cross examina- ton, Mrs O'Neill said she did not shout for assistance because the whole incident was repulsive to her and that she did not wish her daughter to hear. She admitted that she showed bruises on her body to her daughter the next day.
 The habeas corpus action was brought by Emonts, who is a mem- Der of the New York Philharmonic orchestra. The date for the hear ing was set for this week in court here. The petitioner claims his wife has unlawful possession of the child and has asked the court to allow the child's custody to him. In her answer to the com plaint, Mrs Emonts charges her husband is unfit to rear the child and that a criminal action is pend ing against him in the Bridgeport superior court for his having kid- naped the child from it's Vest port home in July. of this year..
 The hearing was expected to continue throughout the after noon.
