HE|RESS-K| KILLER
GETS % YEARS

FLINT, Mich, Jan. IA 0.N.SO.
Helen Joy Morgan, 27-year-old
Flint heiress, was found guilty
of cond-degree murder here to-
day for killing Leslie Casteel, her
thrice-divorced sweetheart.
Judge James S. Parker sen.
tence Miss Morgan to serve 20
to 25 years in the Detroit House
of Correction.
The verdict was given after
the jury, deadlocked last night,
was sent to bed. The IL farmers
and business men resumed de-
liberationS this morning.
The State charged that Miss
Morgan lured her garage-mechanic
sweetheart in her car to a lonely
trusting place then deliberately
shot him to death. Defense
lawyers claimed she shot in self
defense.
An important point in the trial
was testimony by some of the
States SIS witnesses that Miss
Morgan's screams were heard
after CaSteel was shot.
Miss Morgan sent word to her
mother to appeal the conviction.

Women Not Assaulted, Doctor
Reports; Victims Fears
of Suspect Barred

1t was definitely established
today that revenge was the
motive for the CHASTITY murder
early yesterday morning at
her Middleburg (Va.) cottage
of Mrs. Spencer Ilsley, Wash
ington, New York and Mil
waukee society leader, and her
elderly maid, Mrs. Nina Buck
ner, of Travilah, Nd.
After an examination of the
bodies of the two women, DR..
Oscar B. Hunter, noted Washing
ton pathologist, this morning re-
ported to DR.. John A. Gibson,
Loudoun county coroner, that
there was no evidence of criminal
assault.
Police Theory Strengthened
DR.. Hunter made his examina-
ton yesterday but his report was
not made public until today. He
Furthermore declared that bits OF
hair and flesh of a negro had
been found under the fingeTnails
of Mrs. Ilsley, thus cementing the
theory held by the police that
the crime was the work Of a
colored man.
Mrs. Ilsley was the only one of
the two women, as evidence in
her room disclosed, to put up a
fight against her slayer. Mrs.
Buckner apparently died without
a struggle.
Tip Proves False
The theory that George Craw.
ford, sought in the murder, com.
municated with his nephew in
Washington yesterday was ex-
ploded today by Sergt. H. K.
Wilson, head of the homicide
squad, who said the supposed
nephew made such a statement
while drunk.
William Clifton Thomas,
colored, 81, an upholsterer. of
337 D St. S. W., declared on
arrest yesterday that Crawford
was his uncle and was on way
to Philadelphia. Sergeant Wilson
today took picture of the
suspect to the Fourth precinct
where Thomas was being held for
identification.
Later, Sergeant Wilson said,
Thomas told him he didn't have
an uncle named Crawford and
had never heard Of the suspected
slayer.

DOOMED.
FOR COURT

President Hoover is seriously
considering the appointment of
Senator Thomas j. Walsh CD of
Montana to the vacancy on the
United States Supreme Court
bench caused by the retirement
of Oliver Wendell Holmes, the
great liberal"
The principal reason the Presi-
dent is giving such serious con-
sideration to Senator Walsh is
that, oddly cough. Republican
leaders of the Senate are backing
him almost to a man. BY tele
phone and personal interview
during the past "a hours they
have importuned Mr.. Hoover to
appoint him.
Late yesterday group of the
most influential Republicans in
the Senate conferred with Post
master General Walter F. Brown
and urged him to join with them
in indorSing the Montanan. Singu-
larly enough, the move to pro-
mote Senator Walsh to the bench
appears wholly Republican. No
Democratic Senators participated
in the conference, not because
they do not approve of Walsh,
but because they we're unaware
of the Republican movement in
his behalf.

TAX PLAN
Retailers, at House Hearing,
Ask Bond Funding of
Treasury Deficit

The voice Of retail business
was raised in opposition to
Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ions tax increase program
before the House Ways and
Means Committee today.
c. B. Clark, of Detroit, chair
man of the tax committee of the
National Retail Dry Goods AS
sociation, testified the Admins
tration plan lays too heavy a
burden upon business.
Asks Deficit Be Funded
He said he spoke for seven
other retail associations, all OF
which employed 1,25O,0O0 persons.
He urged that large part OF
the deficit be funded in bonds,
opposed a retroactive increase on
1881 incomes. demanded Federal
expenditures be cut and the tax
boost for 1882 be limited.
A Substitute Program
Clark's program, differing ma
terially from the $92O,000,000 tax
increase plan of the Treasury, en-
braced:
Funding of entire deficit of
$2.123,000,0 for 1882, elimi-
mating 1890, 100000 retroactive
tax proposal on 1881 incomes.
Reduction of 100000 in
Federal budget now before Con-
greSs.
Increase of $700, ,0OO,00 in
stead of 1920, 900 900, on incomes
of 1892, payable in 1888.
For Higher Surtax
Increase in surtax rate on big
incomes to 40 per cent as recon-
mended by Treasury or, perhaps,
to so per cent.
Increase of corporation tax
per cent instead of y per cent
urged by Treasury.
Levy of 40 per cent on in
heritanceS.
Clark said the Presidents bud
get recommendation provided for
a cut in" appropriations of only
1.3 per cent, and Congress had
raised this to 1.6 per cent in bills
thus far considered.

HONOLULU, 7. H., Jan. IA
G.N.S.). - The blood stained
clothing of Joseph Kahahawai
today was guarded by police as
evidence of the highest i'm.
portance in the case civil
authorities hope to- build
against the four Americans
charged with his revenge
killing.
Kahahawai's clothing was found
in the automobile at the side
of his body when the car in
which Mrs. Granville Fortescue,
Lieut.. Thomas H. Massie and
E. j. Lord was stopped as II
was speeding last Friday in the
direction of the Koko Head
geyser. ..-. ...--.
Trial of murder charges of
Mrs. ForteScue and Lieut.. Mas
sic, will be delayed until the ar
rival from New York of Mrs,
ForteScue'S brother, Robert Bell,
and her husband, County AttOr-
ney James Gilliland announced.
Mrs. ForteScue's husband, Ma
jor .ForteScue, is now seriously i'll
in New York, and should he be
unable to come to the islands for
a considerable time, the civil
courts may be forced to go ahead
with the case.
Gilliland will be assisted at the
trial by a special prosecutor not
yet named.
Forced Into Tub
The fourth defendant in the
case, Albert S. Jones, was not
in the machine but was found
on guard at the MaSsie home.
Police said they believed the
clothing and the body were to
be dumped into the ocean or
hurled into the geySer.
The body of Kahahawai, wrapped
mummy-like in a sheet, had been
shot through the heart.
Judging from the water and
blood-soaked condition of the
clothes, police believed that Ka-
hahawai had been forced into
the bathtub at Mrs. Fortescue's
home fully clothed and shot with
an automatic, the muzzle of
which was held under water to
deaden the sound. The neighbor-
ing residence is close by, sepa-

NEW YORK. Ted Burton, 49,
year-old Negro worker from the
South, and a member Of the National
Executive Committee of the Young
Communist League, was jailed Sat-
urdsy night in vicious frame-up
because of his activities in the Scots
boro Defense. He was located only
Wednesday night by the I. L. D.
Burton accompanied Lucille Wright,
10year-old sister of Andy and Roy
Wright, Scottsboro boys, frfom the
South, in order to start her tour.
After speaking at a Harlem rally for
the Scottsboro boys Saturday night,
he was trailed and followed a long
distance through the city by a Negro
city detective, who had apparently
been instructed to get" Burton on
any charge possible.
After first attempting to charge
Comrade Burton with picking his
pocket, the final charge was finally
plpaced against the young comrade
of attempt at house breaking and
larceny" and the comrade is now in
Tombs Prison under $4,000 bond.
The International Labor Defense
has engaged a lawyer, and efforts are
being made to get the comrade out
on bail. Workers in their meetings
and organizations should protest
against this frame-up, which the
