COSTELLO MOODY,
WITNESS STATES
EAppeared Depressed Before
Death, Reserve Fireman
Tells Court.
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
SALEM, Mass, August 8.-State
prosecutors in the trial Of Jessie B.
Costello, charged with the poison-slay-
ing of her husband, today took steps
to refute testimony that Fire Capt.
William j. Costello was in suicidal
frame of mind before his body was
found stretched across hallway in the
Costellos' cottage in Peabody.
Edward P. O'Brine, reserve fireman
in Peabody, who, testifying for the de-
fense yesterday. said the fire captain
was melancholy and moody just prior
to his death, was recalled to the stand
for cross-examination today. He was
questioned by Charles A. Green, as
sistant district attorney.
O'Brine, whose regular employment
is that of a clerk, testified that he had
spent considerable time around Pea
body fire stations He said he was
friendly toward the attractive, 81
year-old defendant. He refused to
testify, however, that he would hesi-
tate to say anything that would hurt
Mrs. Costello's case
The witness insisted Costello was
melancholy and moody one night
when he saw him in the fire station a
short time before his death, and was
unshaken from his position under the
vigorous questioning Of the prosecutor.
O'Brine said that several times he
had visited the Costello home when
Edward j. Mcmahon. Peabody >erve
policeman. and Mrs. Costello were thee.
He said he usually stayed about an
hour and then left. leaving Mcmahon
and the widow alone.
A brother came to Mrs Costello's
defense today when Andrew j. Fyfe,
jr., told the jury that he several times
saw her husband mix with another
substance one of the chemicals which
caused his death.
Mrs. Costello, 32-year-old mother Of
three children, Is accused OF having
poisoned Fire Capt. William j. Cos
tello of Peabody in their home on Feb
ruary II.
The State contends she bought the
particular poison with the express pur-
pose Of causing her husbands death.
She has testified the material was pur-
chased to be mixed with another chem
ical for cleaning brass work. Her hus-
band frequently mixed the compound
for her she swore.
To-day Fyfe told of seeing the fire
captain making the cleansing paste,
once in the cellar and again In the ga
rage of the Costello home. Both times
he wore gloves, Fyfe swore. and both
times told him the paste was for clean
ing purposes.
Fyfe also described Costellos mental
condition before his death as moody
and he bore out other defense witnesses
in relating that the fire captain COM
planned of pains in his stomach.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Has a gigantic meteor-perhaps as
big as the moon-crashed headlong
into the ringed yellow planet Saturn?
That is one of the explanations ad-
vanced by Naval Observatory aStron-
omerS for the strange white spot" on
the face of the distant world which
they are watching nightly through their
telescopes. It was discovered last Fri
day night by Astronomer John E. Willis
Of the Naval Observatory staff and now
over the world
This white spot covers an area as
big as the earth 1t is due either to
meteor crash, the naval astronomers
believe, or to something akin to mon
strous volcanic eruption on earth. That
is about as near as they can come to
an explanation with Saturn now in
opposition to the earth and more than
billion miles away 1t looks like an
enormous dust cloud on the outer edge
Of the planets atmosphere.
This is the third time ip a century
that such a white spot has been OBJ
served on Saturn It was detected at
the Naval Observatory in 1876 and Ger
man astronomers reported the same
phenomenon in 1908. The practical
value of the observation is that it en-
ables astronomers to check on the speed
of Saturn's revolution Apparently it
is whirling around on its axis at the
dizzy rate Of once every 10 hours
more than twice as fast as the earth
But the rate of rotation at the Equator
is little faster than at the poles and
the present white spot is very near the
Equator.
Observations Of the phenomenon for
the past four nights have shown that
Saturn is revolving just about on sched-
ule time. If the meteor crash explana-
ton is correct, it was not forceful
enough to dislodge Saturn from its orbit
or change its speed Of rotation Even
tually, the naval astronomers believe,

the spot will be dissipated and they are
making the most Of the opportunity
while 1t lasts.
Saturn still is a good deal of a mys-
terry to the astronomers. 1t is "a times
the mass of the earth, yet, other obSer-
vations have shown, its density is only
about thirteenth that of the earth
and considerably less than that of
water. This indicates that it must be
largely great ball OF gas, but there
may be solid interior surrounded by
an extremely deep atmosphere. In
theory it should be very cold, since it is
more than billion miles farther away
from the sun than the earth and only
very attenuated sunlight reaches it.
Thermocouple observations by DR.. w.
W. CoblentZ Of the Bureau of Standards
show that at the outer edge of its at
mosphere the temperature is about -150
centlgrade-but that is not much colder
than is the earth at the outer edge of
its atmosphere and is by no means so
cold as it should be- The conclusion is
that Saturn must have some great in
terror furnace which supplies it with
heat, and an explosion of this may ex-
plain the mysterious white spot
AS the naval astronomers turn their
telescopes on Saturn they see the great
triple luminous rings which surround it.
These are believed to be enormous ag-
gregations of dust particles. The great
planet has nine moons. One of them
Titan, Is bigger than the earth's sat-
elite. The smallest. Phoebe, is only
about 200 miles in diameter. The pos
sibility that one of these moons has
crashed into the planet is very i'm
probable. the Naval Observatory as
tronomers say
The observation Of such spots on
planets. the astronomers point out, is
the only way to tell with certainty the
rate at which a planet is revolving
Years ago this was fixed for the great
planet Jupiter by observation of a red
spot near its equator. which reappeared
every time the planet had made one
revolution.

CUBAN DEATH TOLL

Liberal party had asked that he with
draw, it was learned on reliable author
ity that such request was made. Per-
sons assisting in mediatory efforts said
they were hopeful he could be persuad-
ed today to ask for leave of absence
from Congress, which yesterday began
permanent session to consider the Sltua-
ton.
The Legislature yesterday gave the
President authority to suspend conStl-
tutional guarantees of personal liberty
in an effort to curb the spreading
strike. Immediately military forces
took over Havana and heavy firing rang

In Santa Clara Province riots oc-
CURED at Esperanza, Camajauni and
Manicaragua. In those towns per-
sons were killed and 20 injured.
1t was understood on high authority
that Machado told five Liberal party
representatives that he was ready to
leave Office if the people SO Wllled, but
that he would not quit as the result OF
any foreign intermeddling.
Political circles took this as refer
ence to United States Ambassador
Welles' attempts to mediate the politi-
cal differences. Welles was understood
to have suggested peace formula IN
which it was provided that Machado
take leave of absence"
Ambassador Welles went to the en-
bassy at 7 am, left for an unannounced
destination shortly afterwards and re-
turned to the official residence at 9
o'clock. His conferences with party
leaders were then resumed.
Meanwhile legations Of several for
eign countries, and the Spanish en-
bassy made inquiries regarding the kill
ing or wounding of their nationals in
the disorders.
Rifles were distributed this morning
to all police, who toured the city in
automobiles throughout the night with
arms in readiness.
Official figures on the casualties re-
sulting from strike and political disor-
ders were not available, and the police
ordered the hospitals to give out no
information.

INDEPENDENT SINCE 1902.
Cuba Became Nation After Period OF
American Military Rule.

NEW YORK, August P).-Cuba
took her place among the sovereign
nations of the world on May 20, 1902,
after a period of American military
rule which followed the Spanish-Amer-
lean War.
The career of President Gerardo
Machado-a white haired man whom
his enemies call a ruthless tyrant and
his friends a benevolent patriot
began even before Cuba attained inde-
pendence.
At the age of %, he served in the
revolution of 1895. He has been SOL
dier, politician, cattle breeder and
sugar grower. His governmental posts
have included those of inspector gen.
eral of military forces and secretary OF
the interior.
He became President in 1925. He is
81 years old.
Cuba is a one-crop country. She has
been dependent on sugar for 30 per cent
of her national income.
Several years ago the sugar industry
collapsed and the decline was subse-
quently accentuated, bringing economic
woes.
President Machado has laid the Gu
ban troubles to these economic dlfh-
culties, but his enemies have replied
that he is ruling illegally. that he has
been a dictator without regard Tor
human rights ;,
Three dreaded words, "ley de fuga, "
have played a part in recent Cuban
history.
They mean "law of flight"
Dispatches from Cuba have told
of prisoners of the secret police being
found shot to death The official ex-
PLANTATION was that they were shot
while trying to escape.
Foes of the Machado regime have
charged that these were official as
saSsinations" of oppositionists.
A potent focce opposing the Machado
regime is the A. B. c., secret society
which grew out of the student move
ment of discomfort.
Underground strife between members
of this group and the secret police has
fared into violence and terror. Stu
dents and government officials have
been killed and the killing attributed
to this undercover warfare.

ferences and even conflicts, w. S. Gull
bertson, American Ambassador to Chile,
said yesterday In an address at the Uni
versity of Chile.
His speech was delivered on the oc-
casion of his reception as an honorary
member of the faculty of juridical and
social sciences, the highest award given
by the institution and one accorded to
Theodore Roosevelt when he visited
Chile after his River of Doubt" expedi-
ton.
Mr.. Culbertson, who recently an
nounced he would retire after decade
in diplomatic service, did not mention
the Monroe Doctrine, but cited with ap-
proval certain declarations by South
American governments generally sup
porting the spirit Of this famous enun-
citation.
Sees Spanish Relationship.
"a special relationship does exist
among the American states" the Am
bassador declared.
Convincing evidence of this perma-
nent bond is found in the concern for
its existence which hostile critics show.
More convincing evidence, however,
is found in the feeling which you have
and I have that there Is something
which, while it does not isolate. does
definitely set apart the Americas from
the rest OF the world"
The first tradition or policy Is dl-
rected against nom n-American political
Intervention in the affairs OF the New
World" Mr.. Culbertson continued. 1t
asserts not only the independence OF
the American republics, but the con-
Germ felt by each American Republic
for the maintenance of the political
independence Of the other American
republics"
Sees Political Freedom.
The Ambassador expressed the con-
viction that the fact the American re-
publics have declared their political In
dependence from Europe and have
shown their determination to maintain
it for themselves and for their fellow
republics" has prevented, and continues
to prevent, action by non-American
powers.
Europe and Asia understand. even
If some individuals in the Americas do
not" he said, that there is a latent
force Of protection in the psychology of
the American peoples-a force which
IS something more than self-preserva-
ton, a force which Is cooperative self
preservation
The second traditional policy, he as
serted, IS the recognition of the equality
of the American republics under inter-
national law land the loyalty of these
republics to the conception Of unity
among themselves"
