Russell MCWiIIiamS, II, to
Face Rehearing by
Different Judge.

! BIZ tBited Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Dec. 23-The
Illinois supreme court gave 17-year-
old Russell McWilliams another OPP
portunity to escape the electric
chair in a decision today.
The decision reversed the convic-
ton of the Rockford youth on a
charge of numbering a street car
motorman during holdup, and re-
manded the case for rehearing by
some judge other than the trial
judge who twice sentenced young
/ NcWillian1s to death.
The youth twice was convicted
before Judge Arthur E. Fisher of
the Winnebago county circuit court
on charge Of numbering William
Sayles, elderly motorman, in August
Of last year.
He won rehearing on the first
conviction last April when Clarence
barrow, eminent Chicago criminal
lawyer, argued in his defense before
the state supreme court.
The first reversal of the lower
court was on the ground that Judge
Fisher had failed to consider the
slayer's age as mitigating evidence
in fixing the penalty. ,,-.Yy,ty
McWilIiams is in thet old state
penitentiary at Joliet.
He had awaited death there for
the second time last June, after
Judge Fisher had refused a change
Of venue when the case was re-
manded by the supreme court, re-
tried it from the point where Nc
Williams had waived jury trial, and
pleaded guilty in the first trial, and
repronounced the death sentence.

JOE ROBINSON
SEEKS SEAT ON
SUPREME BENCH
Aging Members of Highest
Court Are Expected to
Resign Soon.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Presi-
dent-Elect Roosevelt's opportunity
for liberalizing the United States
supreme court has become a topic
of general interest as a result of re-
ports that fewsaging members may
resign in the near future.
Several veteran Democrats in the
senate would like to end their ca
reers on the highest bench, including
Minority Leader Joe Robinson and
Teapot Dome Thomas ]. Walsh of
Montana.
Among those mentioned as likely
to resign is Justice James Clark Nc
Reynolds, appointed by President
Wilson in October, 1914. Justice
NGcReynolds, an old-fashioned, I'LL
ira conservative southern Democrat,
has taken little part in recent de-
alterations.
He was the only member to vote
to affirm the conviction of G. v.
Sorrells in the notable dry law en-
trapment case recently decided, al
though he did not appear in court
that day.
Liberals in Saddle
The prospect of McReynolds' res
ignation, and the character of his
successor, becomes important, be-
cause recent changes have given the
court a more liberal cast. Four
Justices Brandeis, Stone, Roberts,
and Cardozo-usually approach
questions from a social rather than
a strictly legal viewpoint, and Chief
Justice Hughes joins with them now
and then. Another member in SYM
pathy with the latter group would
give them a ma ority.
If McReynolds does resign, it is
not believed it will be until after
Governor Roosevelt takes office. An
ardent admirer of Woodrow Wilson,
McReynoldS is known as a sharp
critic of President Hoover, although
of course his views do not take vocal
form
But he has chosen to absent him
sell from Judlclal receptions at the
White House during the Hoover adj
ministration, and even from the pro-
'oession of justices to the White
House to notify the chief executive
that the court was ready to do
business.
Refuses to Pose
He went down with his colleagues
at the opening of the present term,
but he refused to pose for the photo
graph that was taken of the visit
ing justices.
In discussing possible Roosevelt
appointees, many ask whether Sena-

before the execution date and the
case was again appealed to the SUI

In criminal case, if the petit

the right of the defendant to
a change of venue is absolute" the
court said in its ruling today. "The
denial of such petition consti-
tutes reversible error"

PICARD ASKS
AMERICAN AID
in HIGH FLIGHT
Scientist Will Undertake
Shakespeare Hop from
Hudson Bay.
BY MINOTT SAUNDERS
NEA Service Writer

PARIS, Dec. 23-With further
shakespeare ambitions, Professor
August Picard famous Belgian sci
enlist. will sail early in January to
explore the possibilities Of finding a
rich American hacker and two
husky young Americans who are
pilots and physicists to undertake a
balloon voyage to study cosmic rays
in the region Of the magnetic pole.
He also will require a daring res
cue party to bring back the balloon
and its occupants after they land
Picard plans to send a balloon
aloft from upper Hudson Bay next
year or in 1884 which will be able
to rise over ten miles where, he
hopes, the yet unknown cosmic
rays Of the magnetic pole can be
studied
lie will have to have a new and
perfected balloon and cabin for his
Arctic air voyage.
Sees Great Possibilities
1.-THE chief interest in these cos
mic rays is that we hope some day
to reproduce them arti1cially," he
explained. THE possibilities are
immense. We may be able by a
simple process which we hope to
develop to produce rays which will
light and heat a large city.
Professor Picard admits that the
risks Of Hudson bay flight will be
much greater than those he faced
during his two European ascenaions.
but he believes they can be mini
mized with careful management.
The two pilots must be qualified
to manage the balloon and at the
same time regulate the observations
He would like them to be Americans
because the experiment will be made
on the American continent, and
they must be able to Withstand ex-
IRENE cold.
Balloon Will Drift
"The greatest danger will be in
the descent. Perfect atmospheric
conditions with no fog will be
necessary but even with this the
balloon may drift 200 miles and we
shall need well-equipped expedi-
tionary force to recover the pilots
and their craft"
Upon arrival in the United States
Picard viii hasten to. visit his twin
brother who is a chemist in Wilm-
ington Del He admits that for
man of science he is sentimental
about his family.
He plans to lecture in various
cities from coast to coast and in
PREPARATION for this he is busy study
ing English.
Looks to Future
Asked about the possibilities of
shakespeare flying Professor Pic
card said the day is not far off
when passenger planes will be COW
ering the distance between Paris
and New York in eight hours.
The shakespeare airplane is the
flying machine Of the future" he
said. I'VE already know that
machines can be constructed to do
500 miles an hour in the strato-
sphere.
When they are perfected, they
will fly in the sunshine, without
wind resistance or atmospheric dis
turbances of any account"
Professor Picard does not believe
that it is at all fantastic to envisage
a flight to the moon. What can not
yet be reckoned on however, is the
chance of getting back from the
moon, he said.

CAPONE IS KEPT
IN QUARANTINE

ATLANTA, Ga, May 6 UN.S).
Back in the days when he held
sway over a vast underworld
dominion, AL Capone was reck-
oned to be quite a traveller. He
was fond of moving about. But
now his movements are as limited
as those of lion in a circus
cage.
Today the gang chieftain was
rigidly confined in the quaran-
tine ward. Within its narrow
boundaries "Scarface Az must
remain for the first three weeks
of the 10 years which he will
spend in the Atlanta penitentiary.
Attired in the coarse blue
denim garb of a convict, Capone
was undergoing complete medi-
cal examination. These tests will
continue in order to insure, as
required by law, against con-
tagiouS diseases.
When he passes through this
medical ordeal, Capone will then
be studied for his talents and
proclivities, so that he can be
assigned to the work best suited
to him. When he is given work
to do. the incarcerated gangSter
will settle down to the hum-drum
prison routine and will at last be
permitted to mingle occasionally
with his fellow-convicts and move
about a bit more freely.
