CASE FOE.
. GETS DEATH
THREAT
Ex-Judge Smith, HaIIoran's
Attorney, Makes Disclosure
As Court Opens

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 81
d.N.SO.-Death threats have been
received by former Judge Frank
o. Smith, attorney for j. j.
("Happy Jack") Halloran, under
going preliminary hearing accused
as an accessory to Winnie Ruth
Judd in the trunk murders" OF
Agnes Anne Leroi and Hedvig
Samuelson, Smith charged today.
Prior to opening of court,
Smith asked the bailiff to sum-
mon Sheriff j. r. McFadden and
two deputies to the courtroom.
He said:
"My life has been threatened
several times during this hear
ing and again this morning"
May Plead Her Case
Winnie Judd may be given an
opportunity to plead for her life
before the Arizona State Board OF
Pardons.
It was understood today that
the board, which has before it ner
plea for a pardon or commuta-
ton of sentence to hang February
II, will meet next week to con-
slider the application.
With the close of the States
case, in which Mrs. Judd was the
star witness, attorneys for the
wealthy lumberman moved for
dismissal Of the charges. They
attacked the competency Of Mrs.
Judd as a witness, asserting her
story lacked corroboration and
even if believed had shown no
felony committed, as she had told
a story Of a fight in which she
acted only in self-defense.
Halloran'S hearing took a sehSa-
tional turn when DR.. D. r. Ges-
kins, who lived in a house near
the murder apartment" testified
he had been threatened by an
anonymous telephone caller, who
said:
'"You know too much. You
had better shut up If you know
what is good for YOU"
DR.. GeSkinS interpreted the
warning as a death threat, and
the man the physician said he be.
lieved had telephoned him was
Subpoenaed as a witness.
Halloran is charged with aiding
Mrs. Judd in dispoSing of the
body Of Mrs. Leroi and with ad-
vising Mrs. Judd to conceal the
Slayings and helping her to
escape into California after the
double murder.

WOLF ISLAND, Mo-, Jan. 81
d.N.S0.-What concerns me
most as this is being handed to
a carrier pigeon from. tree No.
16 is just how long it will take
the lions to catch up with the
hunters.
At present the brutes are
hunting the hunters instead of
visa versa as was bring 'em back
dead" Wright'S fond hope when
he deposited the behemoths here
early in the week. We are hunt
ing in self defense.
Today the lions were still
alive, but I am not so sure about
the hunters. Later I'll check UP
to see If there is any casualty
list.
Night Filled With Music
The night was filled with the
snorts of the wild beasts as they
rubbed their beaks on the barbed
wires that were supposed to pro-
tect us in case the guests had
change of heart. Well, no one
got any sleep because you can't
hop into the arms of morpheus
very well with one of the beasts
wheeling around your bunk and
the rain beating Oft your nib.
Early last evening there was
quite a battle to see how many
of us could fit into the lions
cage. The lions appeared to be
of a mood to return to the cell
themselves. but after they had
sountered around bit, they with.
drew some so PAGES into the
thicket.
Wright a Bit Nervous
I believe that Huntsman
Wright is a little nervous because
the lions persist in hanging
around the stockade. Old Bring
En- Back Dead" admits they
have outmaneuvered him a lit.
tie, and if he thought for q mo-
ment that he was going to be
embarrassed to this extent, he
certainly would not have carted
Pat and Mike 200 miles to this
little paradise in the Mississippi
River.
Neither Pat nor Mike seem to
be particularly anxious to invade
our private quarters again.
So far the lions have scored Q
moral victory on the hunters.
They have reduced the privacy
Of our camps to zero. In fact,
when Pat and Mike get hungry,
they probably will wander again
through the barbed wire fence
and raid the ice box.
/ Pat ROarS in High d
Through the night Mike was a
bit more docile than Pat. Pat
roared in high "D" without even
drawing a breath. He did his
roaring so consistently that I sus-
pected him. of having indigestion.
Bring EN- Back Dead" con-
fessed to me that he overlooked
one bet. He should have tied
bells around the gozzleS Of Pat
and Mike so the boys could hear
them coming. -

Laying aside stringent training
rules, members of West Virginia
University football squad will be
guests of honor at a reception

at the new Raleigh Hotel on
Saturday night.
Host for the evening will be the
West Virginia State Society of

every mood and emergency.
In theory at least, Navy's power
formation is designed to embrace
in one system, all the advantages
of both tandem" and double
wing" dispositions.
Where They Differ
AS a general statement subject
to criticism because of it's brevity
the Army plan is to arrange the
line strong or weak relative to the
backfield-whereas-Navy accom-
plishes a similar purpose by shift
ing the backs strong or weak rela
tive to the line.
Hundreds of games have been
played between the two systems
but in the end the team that
blocks and tackles the hardest for
so minutes wins. In other words,
a constant application of well
trained and superior man-poWe1
makes any formation look good.

TECH To HOLD
DEDICATION
EXERCISES
BY GARRETT WATERS


It will be "laSt day" for four
local scholastic grid teams today
Also it will be the ending of foot
ball careers for several talented
pigskin stars known for their ex-
ploits during the current cam
paign.
But first OF all, five games are
scheduled today to keep every
football warrior busy. What could
be put down as the feature at
traction for the afternoon is the
Tech-Swavely Prep clash at the
Tech Stadium at 3:15 o'clock.
Dedicate Stadium
This contest will officially open
and dedicate the new Tech en-
closure and it will also mark the
first time that a Hardell-coaCheo
team has played a regular" game
there since the entire Tech High
"site" was built about five years
ago.
Central plays it's annual game
with Washington-Lee High, OF
BallSton, Va, at Central Stadium
at 3:15 o'clock in the co-feature
on the days program, Western en-
tertains Gouzaga Prep at Western
at 3:15s o'clock, Georgetown Prep
plays host to Friends School at
Georgetown Prep at $3.50 o'clock,
and st. Adams opposes st.
James. of Hagerstown, Md, at ST.
Adams at 3:15 o'clock.
The action will mark the final
appearances of the season for the
Tech, Western, Gonzaga and
Friends elevens. For Central
and Georgetown Prep it will mark
the next to the last appearances
as the Mt. Pleasanters oppose the
White Plains High eleven of White
Plains. N. Y, on Thanksgiving
Day, while Georgetown Prep goes
to New Rochelle, N. Y, for con.
test with Iona Prep on the same
day.
Picking the games today is com
paratively easy. Tech, despite
the fact that it did not win the
interhigh series championship,
should defeat Swavely Prep, as
the Manual Trainers have de
cidedly a stronger team than the
invading Manassas (VaO lads.
Central Should Score
Central should easily score over
Westinghouse, as the youngsters
from Ballston have experienced
their worst season in years. West
ern should win from Gonzaga by
at least one touchdown, George
town Prep, with it's clever passing
attack, should easily trim Friends,
while st. Adams should exper-
ience little trouble defeating St.
James.
Getting to the players engaging
in their final games Of their
scholastic football career, Pisani
and Coiner, quarterback and end
respectively, will be playing their
last games for Tech; Wynne and
Parkhill, ends; Gamage and
Krouse, tackles; Hough, substl
tute guard; Corcoran, quarter
back, and Schneider, halfback
will be making their final appear
ances for Western, while Leubkert
Boyle and Moore, backfield men
and Connors, O'Connell, Dun,
nington and Byrnes, linemen, viii
be making their adieus as Con
Zaga luminarieS.

involves a serious problem in

Last year they called one over

piled up on the line Of scrim-

Golden Helmets to such an extent
that for the moment they seemed
to forget yards and downs be-
cause they drove two more plays
right at Kane identically like the
first.
Unable to gain in this way
they soon were forced to punt.
A little later when they regained
possession of the ball again their
"stubborness"' had melted away.
They lined up in a light-footed
and tricky double-wing arrange
ment, based chiefly on speed, de-
ception and skill.
