The pope, descending from his
portable throne, took a cross in
his right hand and candle in
his left, and passed through the

AS the regal procession passed

mails stopped, and each ceremonial
ly kissed the sides Of the door.
The diplomatic corps and the
Roman aristocracy followed, and
after them the general public
poured through into the edifice.

Double Prison Guard to
Block Ruth Judd Suicide

who is alleged to have brought her
the tools.
Surprised by guards after she
sawed through two steel bars in her
cell, Mrs. Judd collapsed from ex-
haustion, and admitted she was
attempting to escape, the warden
claimed.
The jailbreak attempt took place
while Mrs. Judd was making her
last futile bid for clemency to the
state board of pardons and paroles.
The board denied her plea Thurs
day night, and Friday Warden
Walker disclosed the saw episode,
explaining the inquiry had been kept
secret because he did not wish to
injure her standing before the
board.
Under sentence to hang April 81
for the murder of Agnes Ann Leroi,
her best friend, Mrs. Judd can
escape the gallows now only by be-
ing declared insane or winning a re-
view in the United States supreme
court.
McKinnell, the brother, visited
her at the prison some time ago,
Walker said. A few nights later a
guard heard the rasp of saw COM
ing from Mrs. Judd'S cell. He re-
ported it to Walker, who ordered
her watched, but not disturbed, I'M
til morning.
At dawn, Walker and the guards
entered the cell. Mrs. Judd became
historical.
She worked herself into q
tantrum and cried out that she
would commit suicide" Walker said
She has repeated this threat almost
daily. We have removed everything
from her cell that could be used IN
such an attempt"

DEFENSE CASE
IS RESTED IN
PASTOR TRIAL
Conway Fails to Go on
Witness Stand to Deny
Attack Charge.
TESTIMONY BY WIFE
Three Daughters Also Are
Questioned in Effort to
Free Minister.
BIZ | nited Press

- y NitCH PFCSS
MUNCIE, Ind, April Without
calling the Rev G. Lemuel Conway
to testify, the defense rested today
in his trial on charges Of attempting
TO attack Miss Helen Huffman, 49,
year-old Sunday school teacher in
his former church.
Court was recessed until | D. m.
No explanation was given by Roll
lin bennington, chief defense coun-
sci, of his sudden decision to rest
without presenting the deposed
Methodist minister as a witness.
Before bennington completed his
case he called Conways 49-year- old
wife and three of their attractive
daughters TO testify.
Mrs. Conway sobbed almost con-
tinuously as she told of begging
Frank Daugherty, Muncie district
superintendent of the Methodist
Episcopal church, to drop the
charges.
Daughters, Wife Testify
Il placed my arm on DR.. Daugh-
erty's shoulder, and told him he
was the only person who could
help u.s." Mrs. Conway said.
Il asked him to consider how
terrible it would be to put a family
so large as ours out into the street.
But he refused to intervene, and
said 1 am only here as a judge
and can not let anything personal
enter into the case.
Her testimony was identical with
that offered by the daughters,
Charlotte, %, Dorothy, 10, and
Louise, 81.
Charlotte said the family be-
lieved their father was victim of
a plot by enemies.
She quoted her mother as say
ing:
Il don't blame Helen. 1 don't
believe she was altogether at
fault"
Shows Pride of Parent
The minister looked with evident
pride toward Charlotte when she
testified. She is attractive and is
graduate of Ball State Teachers
college.
She said DR.. Daugherty offered
to give her father three days to get
the charges withdrawn and a state
ment saying Miss Huffman was
lying.
The other daughters suhstanti-
ated her testimony
Previously the defense had at
tempted to refute some of Miss
Huffman's testimony by calling Mr..
and Mrs. Herbert Shroyer to the
stand.
The young woman mad said that
while she and Conway were return
ing from the scene Of the alleged
attack, they passed a wagon loaded
with logs in front Of white frame
house.
Hit Story of Girl
The ShroyerS are the only resi-
dents of white frame house along
the route described. They said
that no logs had passed their home
that day. They also denied that
several children were playing in
their yard, as Miss Huffman had
testified.
Conway was former pastor of the
Madison Street M. E. church. He
was suspended for one year after
a church jury found him guilty of
imprudent conduct.
Miss Huffman testified that the
minister offered to drive her down
town the afternoon of Dec. 90, but
went out to country road instead.
He attempted to attack her. she
declared after telling her she
should know the facts of life"
