MASS|E LYING,
PROSECUTOR
DECLARES
Kelley Will Try to Break
Officers Story Today;
AIieniStS Called

HONOLULU, T. H., April
Is (I.N.S.).-Attempting to
pierce the fog that Lieut..
Thomas H. Massie said en-
veloped his brain when Joseph
Kahahawai admitted attack
ing his wife, Prosecutor John
G. Kelley today struck out at
the defense that Clarence Dar-
row has laid for the four CO.
defendants in the "honor
slaying" trial.
The clean-cut young naval ottl-
Ger faced torturing cross-examl'
nation at Kelley'S hands as the
trial swung into its third week.
With his aristocratic mother-in.

Albert S. Jones and E. j. Lord
Lieutenant MaSsie stands accused
of Staying Kahahawai, a Hawaiian
native.
May Call Mrs. FOrteScue
Darrow is undecided whether or
not he will call Mrs. Fortescue to
the witness stand, he informed In
ternational News Service. Either
Lord or Jones will be summoned
and Mrs. Massie also will be asked
to recount the narrowing details
of the attack, Darrow added.
The hard-hitting Kelley was in
tent on breaking down the entire
Structure of the defense, challeng-
ing even the sensational story in
which Lieutenant Massie related
for the first time the greater por
ton of what happened when Ka
hahawai was kidnapped from the
steps of the Judiciary Building
and taken to Mrs. Fortescue's
home.
Alert to protect the interests of
the four accused, Darrow, who to-
day observed his seventy-fifth
birthday, will resist Kelley's efforts
every inch of the way.
Admits MaSSie Held Gun
Darrow has admitted that Lieu
tenant Massie held the gun with
which Kahahawai was shot. He
has added that insanity will be
the defense, but the type of men
tai alteration he has refused to
define.
Kahahawai was accused of lead
ing four other half-caStes in a
brutal assault on Lieutenant
Massie's pretty wife, Mrs. Thalia

z DRY AGENTS
SUSPENDED

Two Federal prohibition agents
in northern Texas, involved in
the killing of Marion McGlothlin
and the shooting of his wife on
April 8, were suspended by Pro
hibition Director Amos w. w.
Woodcock today pending their
trial. The agents are N. D.
Heaton and L. C. Smith.
Woodcock said investigation of
the shooting convinced him that,
while the agents were not guilty
of any crime in connection with
the shooting, they did not
measure up to the standards
required by the prohibition SER
vice. Efforts are constantly
being made, he said, to get agents
who are not so quick on the
trigger.
The two agents had gone to a
filling station near Dallas to meet
one Lester Cox, for whose home
they had search warrant. Cox
denied he had any liquor, where
upon the two agents attempted to
arrest him.
McGlothlin intervened and was
shot to death by the two agents.
Mrs. McGlothlin's hand was in.
jured by a bullet.
The investigation showed, Wood
cock said, that McGlothlin had
menaced the agents with a shot
gun, and Mrs. McGlothlin had a
pistol,

HANGS
KILLER Of
KANSAS
G|RL,8
Farmer Confesses His Guilt;
Was Drunk at Time, His
Only Excuse

ST. FRANCIS, Kan, April
18 IN.S). An infuriated
mob of 1900 men kidnapped
Richard Read, SO year old
farmer, from his Jail cell here
early today and hanged him to
a tree near the spot where he
had attacked and murdered
8-year-old Dorothy Hunter.
First the crowd, travelling in
automobiles, seized Deputy
Sheriff j. H. Indos, of Chey-
enne county, drove him out
into the country, and forced
him to surrender the keys to
the Jail.
Then the mob returned to the
prison, tore down a wall of the
structure and, overwhelming the
Jail keepers, kidnapped Read.
Binding the prisoner, the shout
ing crowd swept him out Of the
Jail house and pushed him into
an automobile. The long caravan
of cars proceeded along the road
to a spot near Achilles, where
the Hunter girls body had been
found in a haystack.
Admits He Did It
According to eye-witnesses of
the lynching, Read met his fate
stolidly and without pleading for
his life. After the heavy rope
moose was slipped over his head
and the other end fastened to q
limb of the tree, ringleaders Of
the crowd asked Read if he had
anything to say before going to
his death.
The doomed farmer replied:
Boys, you have the right
man. 1 did it. But. / was
drunk at the time"
Just before he was jerked up
from the ground he mumbled:
81 knew you were going TO
hang me-"
Gov. WOOdring Asks Probe
With Reads body still dangling
from the tree, the crowd dis
persed and a member of the mob
telephoned DR.. Charles E. Hen
nenberger, Rawlins county cor.
oner, at Atwood, to come and get
the corpse. The coroner arrived
at daybreak, cut the body down.
and had it removed pending an
investigation.
The lynching occurred while
Gov. Harry Woodring was in At
wood for an address on taxes to-
day. While the Governor would
make no statement concerning
the mob action, it was believed
he had informed Attorney Gen
eral Roland Boynton to conduct
a thorough investigation of the
hanging. and. If possible, bring
the mob leaders to justice.
The hanging eliminated two
days of fast-spreading indigna-
ton throughout the countryside
against the middle-aged farmer.
Yesterday he was saved from the
fury of an ever.growing mob

ELECTRON BOWS
To NEUTRON

LONDON, April 18.-The neu,
tron, ultimate particle whose dis
covery was announced last Feb
ruary, does not react with the
electron, according to Neils Bohr,
of Copenhagen University. In a
recent lecture he said:
According to the wave
theory, of matter, prOtOns, elec-
irons, and neutrOns are all
bundles of waves. When prOtOns
collide they bounce apart.
When a prOtOn ard a neutrOn
collide, they also bound apart,
but when a neutrOn a~ad an
electrOn collide, the neutrOn
goes through the eIectrOn, just
as rays of the suns go through
tiny drops of water"
The existence of neutrons was
discovered through their reaction
with protons because the prob.
ability of reaction between them
is a million times greater than
is the reaction between neutrons
and electronS.

the declarer can not possibly go
game.
He should count his hand as fol-
lows: Five club tricks rather than
six, the ace of diamonds, the ace
and king of hearts and the spade
trick already made, which will give
him nine tricks for game.
His correct play is the ace of clubs
from dummy which holds the trick.
1t is true that if the club suit did
break, the declarer could make at
least four no trump, but his safe
play is to lead the deuce of clubs
from dummy, which East wins with
the jack, declarer playing the four
and West discarding the five of
hearts.
Rather than return his partners

long and strong diamond suit, and
leads the fourth best-the six spot

A small heart then is led from

West then cashes his ace of

the declarer could see that only

The COstIiest Vase in History
This Chinese vase, standing about
four feet high in the porcelain
collection of the famous johann
neum museum in Dresden, Sax
ony, was purchased by the lux
ury-loving August II, electer of
Saxony and king of Poland, from
the eccentric Frederick William I,
king of Prussia, in 1717.
The Prusslan king, who had a
weakness for very tall soldiers,
exacted and obtained 400 tall
dragons as the purchase price
for mis- vase. The buyer equipped
and delivered to the seller 400 of
the tallest soldiers he could find
in his entire realm.
After he obtained possession of
the vase, the 400 men were in
corporated in the Prussian army
and they persisted in the numer-
Gus Prussian wars of the eight
zenith century.
The vase itself, which I viewed
during my stay in Dresden, still

could be traded in like so much
cattle, by their benevolent"
rulers.

The Bidding
When the hand was played,
neither side was vulnerable. South,
the dealer, opened the contracting
with one heart. West overcalled
with one spade. North bid two
clubs, East passed and South bid
three no trump, which bought the
contract.
The Play
Some players with Vests holding
might prefer to open the heart suit,
especially since South has bid three
no trump right over the spade bid,
but neither opening will stop the
declarer from going game if he
plays the hand properly.
Even though South has bid zone
no trump over the spade suit, it is
the longest and strongest suit and
the four of spades is the correct
opening.
The trick is won in the dummy
with the nine of spades.
There are six clubs in the dummy
and three, in the declarers hand.
Generally with nine of a suit in
sight. no finesse is taken. but there
are exceptions to that rule.
Supposing the clubs do not break,
the diamond suit wiz be started and
