used in recent games, Dave
Harris being in right field in

Mrs. Costello Ends II Hours
of GriIIing; Father on
Stand in Defense

COURTHOUSE, SALE M,
Mass, Aug. 7 Q.N.S.).-After
IS minutes Of questioning to-
day, District Attorney Hugh A.
Gregg concluded his cross-ex-
animation of Mrs. Jessie B.
Costello, on trial for the poison
death of her husband, William
J. Costello.
Mrs. Costello was grilled for a
total of nearly II hours and her
story of innocence Of murder and
unfaithfulness remained unshaken.
The district attorney today cen
tered his questioning on the empty
capsules purchased by Jsssie, and
according to her, given over to her
neighbor, Mrs. Carl Bison, in the
drug store.
Jessie said to her knowledge
there were no capculeS in her own
home at the time of her husbands
death, that she never filled cap
sules herself, but that her husband
filled them for her mother during
the latter's illness of pneumonia
prior to her death in July, 1852.
Rather Harsh"
In the closing minutes Of cross
examination, Jessie admonished
Gregg for being rather harsh, ="
when he questioned her about
stopping her father-in-law, John j.
Costello, sr., from going upstairs
to see his son on the morning Of
February II. She maintained she
did not stop him, but told him
Bill was sleeping"
Capsules were not in the home
after her mothers death in July,
1882, the defendant declared, and
her husband was the one who
cleaned out" her mothers medi-
cine cabinet after she died.
Jessie said Costello filled cap
sules for Mrs. Fyfe, her mother.
but she did not know the con-
tents of the capsules.
Still wearing black-although
she had desired to wear a new
white ensemble, but against which
her attorneys ruled-the 31-year-
old mother of three children ap-
peared calm under the final Or
deal.
Doctor in Rebuttal
Gregg announced that DR.. John
F. Walsh, of Peabody, who viewed
the body of Costello on the morn
ing of February II, would be the

POLICE SEEK
SLAIN MANS
PARTNERS
Would Quiz Them Regarding
"Grave Murder" of Rail-
way Executive

NEW YORK, Aug. 7
(IN.S.).-French and Italian
authorities were cabled by
New York police today to
locate Bancroft Mitchell, busi-
ness associate Of Henry F.
Sanborn, railway executive, in
the hope Mitchell might sup
ply some aid in the investiga-
ton of the "grave murder"
Of Sanborn.
Mitchell, son of former Attorney
General William D. Mitchell and
a friend Of the slain man, sailed
for Europe on the liner Rex on
July %, four days after Sanborn
disappeared from his New York
lbesidence. NE
sa..rA.a....As as AIsN.sSOeE McNair
with police baffled as to the
motive behind the murder of San
born, they were hopeful Mitchell,
or William McNair, another asso-
ciate of Sanborn, might throw
some light on the mystery. The
exact whereabouts of McNair is
unknown, although police indi-
Gated they had been in touch with
him.
Robbery was eliminated as a
motive behind the crime. When
the body of Sanborn was found in
the shallow grave in Queens which
his slayers dug for him, there was
more than $500 in cash in the
victims clothing.
Miss Magnhild Almskaa, 27-
year-old Swedish interpreter, who
was to have married Sanborn,
was interviewed by detectives.
She could shed no light on the
murder mystery, according to
police.
SanbOrn Family Opposed
Miss Almskaar was to have
been married on July 80, but it
was said the wedding was post
poned due to objections from
members of Sanborn's family. He
had been married twice.
There was photograph of an
other woman in the office of
Sanborn. Her name was not
made public but police said they
had questioned her.
Sanborn, a son of the late
Federal Judge Walter H. Sanborn,
of st. Paul, Mimi, was general
eastern agent of the st. Louis
San Francisco railway. His sis
ter is Mrs. Grant Van SAINT, who
is a guest of Miss Alice Morrow,
sister of the late Senator Dwight
w. Morrow, of New Jersey. Mrs.
James Irving Bush, wife of a
former vice president of Madison
Square Garden Corporation, is a
niece of the murder victim.
Missing Three Weeks
Discovery of Sanborn's body
near the Long Island Motor Park
way in a grave apparently dug
by the same persons who fired
two bullets into his body, ended
oil 411UC41OC OCoASA 4O44OW411S lid
disappearance three weeks ago to-
day.
After the body was accidentally
found by berry pickers, police dis
covered $533 in cash in the
pockets, together with four shares
of brewery stock concern.
Identification was made positive
when Mrs. Bush, the niece, was
called from the home of Walter
P. Chrysler, millionaire automo-
bile manufacturer, where she had
been attending a party.
Documents found in Sanborn's
clothes, police said, showed he
had bought four shares of stock
in a Connecticut brewery for $4OO
from Mitchell and a receipt for
the $400. signed by Mitchell, was
found in a pocket.

today was named general
of the Washington campaign
to put the city over 100 per
cent in the Presidents ma
tional recovery drive.
Immediately after his election
by a group Of IA men and one
woman representing trade, civic,
labor and unorganized groups,
Mr.. Littlepage issued a formal
statement in which he said:
"There will be no prosperity
until there is more employ
ment. This plan must be car
ried out. If it is not, then the
unemployed must be taken
care Of.
PUBLIC CANT LOSE"
"The public is bound to win.
The duty of taking care of the
unemployed if we can't find
them jobs rests on us who are
employed. So, under this plan
the public cannot lose.
eff it makes more jobs, the
public wins. If conditions do
not improve, then it lessons the
burden"
Littlepage was elected without
opposition. Louis Rothschild,
secretary Of the Washington Bet
ter Business Bureau, nominated
George w. Offutt, prominent
civic leader, but withdrew the
name after James G. Yaden,
president of the Federation of
Citizens Associations, urged that
Littlepage be drafted for this
emergency work.
Woman to Be Named
Littlepage, in accepting the ap-
pointment, pointed out that he
was a Republican and expressed
the belief that the lieutenant
general" a woman, should be a
Democrat. The group backed him
in this and Immediately went into

a selection.
After brief discussion. how
