MEANS WINS
ON $4,000
COUNT
Court Accepts Motion for
Verdict of ACquittaI on
One of Charges

Justice James NJ. Proctor,
in District Supreme Court to-
day, accepted a motion of I.
Morris Wampler, counsel for
CASTOR B. Means, for dl-
rected verdict of acquittal on
the fourth count of the indict-
ment against Means, which
charges him with embezzle-
ment of $4,000.
This was the only outstanding
development in today'S session OF
the trial. The other charges
against Means still stand.
Means is charged with Swind-
ling Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean
out of $1O4.00O she gave him for
ransom for the Lindbergh child
and expense money for the kid
naperS.
Covers Both Charges
The indictment was framed to
cover both embezzlement and
larceny, the first and third
counts alleging larceny of
100000 and $4,000, respectively,
and the second and fourth
counts embezzlement of the same
amounts.
Prayers and arguments of the
attorneys consumed the session
today and the case will go to the
jury Monday
Wampler asked the court to COM
pei District Attorney Leo A.
Rover to elect whether the case
should go to the Jury on charges
of larceny or charges of embezzle-
ment, Means having been indicted
for both offenses in connection
with his receipt of $104,000 from
Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean.
This motion was overruled.
Wampler then asked a directed
verdict on the fourth count of
the indictment, which charges
embezzlement of $4,000, on the
ground that no demand had ever
been made on Means to pay
back this sum.
Defense Rests Case
A motion for a directed ver-
dict on the first three counts of
the indictment was over-ruled.
Wampler then rested his case.

SPLIT OVER
DELEGATES
Brown to Carry His Fight
to Floor of Convention
If Necessary
Bv GEORGE R. HOLMES

CHICAGO, June II Q.N.S0.
The harmony convention
for which Republican leaders
had been fondly hoping in
Chicago seemed in a fair way
to be shattered today.
As if the prohibition con-
troversy was not bad enough,
the convention found itself
facing today fight over the
issue of party regularity in
the seating of delegates from
Southern States.
Administrations leaders were
distinctly nettled over the action
of the national committee in deny
ing seats to Postmaster General
Browns delegations from South
Carolina and Mississippi and seat
ting the old time regular Repub-
lican leaders from those States.
Brown to Fight On
Brown served notice today that
he plans to carry the fight for
his delegates to the credentials
committee and, if turned down
there, to the convention itself.
At stake is the whole new set
up in the South which the Post
master General and other Cabinet
officers have labored so hard to
perfect during the past three
years. They took patronage away
from the "old timers" such as
''Tieless Joe" Tolbert, of South
Carolina, and Perry Howard, the
negro eXcommitteeman from Mis-
siSsippi, and reposed it in the
new organization of Federal ap-
pointeeS formed in the various
States.
A full-fledged revolt was in
progress against the prohibition
plank which President Hoover is
understood to favor.
AS drawn up in Washington,
the plank proposes nothing more
or less than resubmission of the
whole question of prohibition to
the States, with no recommenda-
ton as to how the referendum is
to be accomplished nor any Spe-
cific question to be voted upon.
This does not satisfy the Re
publican vets.
Back DIR. Butler
They are pinning their hopes to
Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia University, who came
to Chicago today with a plank
far stronger than any yet pro
posed by those who represent the
White House.
The Butler plank contemplates
putting the convention on record
as proposing outright repeal of
the amendment.

Edna Sharpe, sister of Violet

Edna, who had just learned

LADDER CLUE REV|VES
WHEN REAL ESTATE
MAN TELLS TALE

NEW YORK, June II (I.N.S.).-Ernest
Brinkert, New Rochelle cab driver, hurled
defiance at New Jersey Police who were
questioning him today. They are convinced
they are on the threshold of new develop
ments which may point to solution of the
Lindbergh baby kidnapping.
Violet Sharpe, timid, shy maid in the Nor
row home, killed herself yesterday rather
than face questioning of State police, and in
her death police see the first tangible clue
thev have had since that stormy night more
than three months ago when an empty nur-
sery in the Lindbergh home revealed the
child's disappearance.
Police insist that although Brinkert denies
it, the Sharpe girl and he were causal friends.
Check Bridgeport Angle
They hint she may have been an innocent
pawn in the game which cost the life of FL
month-old baby and their silence in regard
to Brinkert is eloquent of unvoced suspicion
and of unspoken charges
Not until Inspector Harry A. Walsh finishes his ques-
tioning of the New Rochelle man will they draw any
conclusions IT.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 27.-Sci- ence has taken unto itself the task of removing, the Jumps from the family sugar bowl, it was disclosed at the annual convention of the American Chemical Society.
 In the future, the American housewife may be spared the nui- sance of Jumps in the sugar bowl because of the experiments of H. V. Moss of St. Louis, a chemist, it was announced.
 Moss has discovered that calcium phosphate, added to sugar prevents Jumps. In addition, he says, cal cium phosphate has valuable health properties essential to the devel- cpment of bones and teeth.
