HART'S FATHER
REGRETS MOB

SAN JOSE, Cal, Nov. 27 G.N.S.)
Violent vengeance for the mur-
derers Of his son was not the
wish of Alex j. Hart, wealthy
San Jose department store owner,
it was disclosed today.
When word was flashed to him
that a mob would soon avenge
the terrible death of Brooke Hart,
the father said:
"PleaSe, please tell the citizens
that they must not be violent.
The police and other officers
have done fine work and I'm
sure the courts will give the kid
napers their proper punishment.
II am SO overcome with my
own grief that 1 am unable to
think of that other terrible
thing. My sympathy goes out to
the families of those two men,"
Meanwhile, Hart made plans for
burial of his son, whom he had
just recently made vice president
of his firm.
Mrs. Hart, the slain youths
mother, begged to see Brooke'S
body but Sheriff William j. Emig
persuaded her not to visit the
mortuary. He said:
Remember Brooke as you
last saw him."

Santa Claus is scheduled to
visit the White House Christmas
Eve and will fill everyone'S stock
ings, including the Presidents.
Mrs. Roosevelt said today:
"Of course, Santa will fill
the Presidents stocking. He
always has"
All stockings will be hung over
the fireplace in the Presidents
room. Sistie and Buzzie Dali
will awaken about $50 or 7
o'clock and then make the rounds
of all the bedrooms.
Children Do Waking
Mrs. Roosevelt said that, un-
known to the children, she always
managed to be up early enough
to close all the windows and to
have the house warm.
But when the children come in
her room they always find her
sound asleep. 1t is part of their
Christmas fun to awaken the
family.

GETS STORY

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. q Il.
N.SO.-Although struck in the
back with a brick, hit on the
shoulder with a club, gassed, and
struck on the head with a butt
of a gun, Ralph B. Jordan, Inter-
national News Service staff cor
respondent, "came through" with
the lynching story of Jack Holmes
and Thomas H. Thurmond.
While still choking and gasping
from the effects of the gas and
lame from injuries received in
the first ioting, Jordan flashed
the news to the San Francisco
I.N.S. Bureau from San Jose that
the jail doors were being battered
ir.
Following the mob to st. James
Park, where the two men were
hanged, Jordan was struck over
the head with the butt of a gun
when he went to the aid of an
embattled cameraman.
Then Jordan sat down at his
typewriter and cody wrote a
graphic eyewitness story which
was transmitted here on a special
wire set up to the scene while
the lynching was in progress.

When newspaper photographers
appeared, he posed patiently, the

Judge Schiller ascended the bench
and announced:

Silence fell instantly over the
courtroom, broken. a moment
later by Attorney Tyrrell who said:

won via the knockout route, the
others going by decision.
As was to be expected in a tour
nament of this kind, there was
fighting of all kinds - good, bad
and indifferent, the best bouts be-
ing those in the lighter divisions.
That between Young Pancho and
Tommy Bailey, featherweights, had
the crowd on its feet all the time
as the youngsters stood toe to toe
and proceeded to give and take
plenty. The Cota-Drew lightweight
scrap was another wild and woolly
affair throughout the three rounds.
Tonight's fights are expected to
be even more thrilling.
One of the feature wins was that
by Rodell Seiverson, FL Centro
welter who got up from the canvas
after being down for nine count
and plunked his opponent square
