The fatal beating of Park
Policeman Milo j. Kennedy, at
Logan Circle at midnight last
August 6, was described by
four cye-witnesses in District
Supreme Court today during
the trial of six coIored men
charged with the killing.
Besides the four eye-witnesses,
Walter Murray, older brother of
Irwin Murray. one of the defend
ants, testified for the prosecu-
ton. He said his brother
brought the slain officers gun
to his home in Virginia the day
after the beating and asked him
to hide it. WhenS police went to
his home he turned the gun over
to them, he said.
Rock Hurled at Him
The witnesses said that
Kennedy was driving his auto
mobile around the circle an hour
or so after having arrested two
colored men in the park, when
a rock was hurled at him. He
left the machine and told Joseph
Jackson that he was under ar
rest. Jackson was quoted as say
ing:
you won't arrest me tonight
unless I'm dead"
AS Kennedy grabbed Jackson
and started escorting him past a
bush, witnesses testified. Irwin
Murray struck the policeman
down by hitting him on the head
with a stone.
Grabbed His Night Stick
AS Kenney fell, according to
the testimony, Ralph E. Holmes
grabbed his night stick and struck
him across the face six or seven
times.
Jackson and Murray were said
to have fled, while Holmes re-
manned in the circle with some
unidentified colored men.
Besides the defendants already
named, Louis R. Murray. Harry
M. Duvall and Leroy Robinson
are on trial. Testimony so far
has not linked these three with
the actual killing.

In his spare time Phillips can amuse
himself with wondering what the other
stables will have this year, what races
he should enter, what the luck will be
and how much he should know that
he doesn't.
Gilbert and Sullivan chorused "a DO
liceman's lot Is not happy one" It
would seem the phrase might properly
read trainers lot" No good trainer
would agree.
His time comes in the early races
when the 2-year-olds turn at the top
of the stretch. The chestnut son of
K, a colt he has nursed and cherished
and worried about, is caught and
pocketed trying to come through on
the rail. The jockey checks, drops
back into fourth place, pulls to the
outside and settles down in the middle
aisle three lengths behind the leader

almost jumps from beneath his rider
into the clear path ahead. Down they
charge on the leaders. eating up a
yard Of daylight at every stride. They
catch the front one 20 yards from the
pole. Another leap and they're racing
even. Two bounds more and the chest
nut son Of x is an unknown quantity
no longer. He wins going away.
People turn to one another In the
stands, eyes wide.
There" they say, ais a horse"
The trainer listens to this half a
dozen times. Then he pulls down his
cap and walks back toward the stables
asking himself, what kind of shoes
would that colt need If the track was
hard and dry?"

PENRTTH, England March 26. "A
bridge in honor Of the memory of Sir
Cecil Spring-Rice, one of the two am
bassadors to the United States this
district has given in recent years, has
just been completed at Aira Force. 1t
spans the Lakeland waterfall.
The tribute to the memory of the
great statesman, whose spiritual home

inspired by LORD Howard of Penrith,
who succeeded Sir Cecil at the British
Embassy in Washington Lord Howard
made a suggestion that memorial
bridge should be erected at Aira Force

Old Church, UllSwater; died at Ottawa,

OF more far-reaching importance than
fell to his lot. Nor has any ambassador
ever fulfilled his task with more un-
wearier vigilance, conspicuous ability
and ultimate success. Speech by Lord
Robert Cecil, House of Commons. 1918"
The association of the Spring-R

Takes Burden of Flight.

The Sperry airplane pilot is an in
vention which will make flying safer.
1t is a gyroscopic control which makes
instant corrections for all effects Of
air currents and shifting Of weights
upon an airplane, and keeps the craft
flying in perfectly level position on
a true course. 1t is a control that has
been used by the military services In
bombing planes and is designed on
mechanical principles identical with
the automatic steamship pilot which
has been in use for many years. Many
merchant and naval vessels are equip
ped with the device.
The airplane pilot does not eliminate
any of the crew, but takes the strain
of long flights from them. The crew
makes all take-offS and landings in the
usual way. turning the plane over to
the automatic pilot to be kept level
and on a straight course after the
craft is in the air. It can fly through
darkness or fog as easily as through
clear weather, and is essential to un-
interrupted air transport services and
long flights, allowing the pilot to con-
centrate on navigation, it was said.
