Formation of a new research
council to aid in the promised
war Of the National Recovery
Administration on profiteers
was under consideration by Ad-
ministrator Hugh S. johnson
today.
This was disclosed by johnson
after Prof. William F. Ogburn, of
the University of Chicago, had
created a stir by criticizing the
plans of the Recovery Admins
tration to guard the consumer.
Prof. Ogburn, who refused to
remain on the consumers ad-
visory board headed by Mrs.
Mary RumSey, said the policy of
the NRA was admirable" but
criticized the plans for making it
effective. Gen. Johnson said:
"The only question Is whether.
we set up our own research
board or whether we continue
with the machinery we have"
The row over the treatment
of consumers was expected to
reach head when Mrs. Rumsey
returns to the Capital.
Confer on Steel Code
In an effort to settle differences
over a code of fair competition for
the steel industry, representatives
of the NRA, Secretary OF Labor
Perkins and heads of five Of the
largest steel companies went into
q secret conference today.
General johnson and K. M.
Simpson, deputy in charge OF the
steel code, presented the views OF
the NRA on the code submitted
by the steel industry. >,
At the public hearing on the
code, two weeks ago, Miss PERKINS
severely criticized it. She held the
4O-hour week proposed for the In

urged higher wages.

To Nip Price Wars
The question of fixing the price
of crude oil was said by Simpson
to be still unsettled, but johnson
opened the door to consideration
Of such a proposal. He said:
"In general don't favor price
fixing, but I can see cases where
open or minimum price fixing
may be necessary. / do think
any attempt to fix price where
you cannot control production
is an economic mOnStrOSity."
johnson indicated that any
price fixing considered by the

COURTHOUSE, SALEM
Mass, Aug. Is (I.N.S.).-"Gen-
tlemen, take the case.
With these words, at 1885
a. m. today, Judge Frederick
W. Fosdick placed in the hands
Of a jury the case Of Mrs. Jessie
Burnett Costello, accused Of the
murder of her husband.
The jury of IL married men re-
ceived the case after charge of
one hour and "a minutes by
Judge Fosdick with the doors of
the courtroom locked.
Widow Retains Smile
Jessie. who had shown some
nervousness facing a crowd of
5000 outside the courthouse,
flashed her smile inside the
courtroom as she began the day
which may mean life or death
to her.
Departing from his custom,
Judge Fosdick delivered his
charge while seated and per-
mitted the jury to remain seated.
Judge Fosdick told the jury the
arguments of counsel were not to
be considered as testimony.
"Shun Suspicion"
He told Jurors they were the
judges who are to decide the guilt
or innocence of the defendant. He
said:
eff you find she has not
broken the fifth commandment,
you shall set her free.
"Her innocence or guilt
should be determined by you.
"The defendant is not to be
convicted on suspicion. If you
have a reasonable doubt that
the deceased was murdered,
you will find the defendant
not guilty.
If there is reasonable doubt
that the defendant administered
the poison or that poison in
sufficient quantity to cause
death was in the system, the
defendant would be found not
guilty, he declared.
MansIaughter Out
The judge said manslaughter
and assault, possible under the
indictment, are not to be conSid-
cred, because of the testimony
The judge said:
"The Commonwealth relies
heavily ON the testimony of
Edward Mcmahon. His teSti-
mOny has been StOutly attacked
and defended. 1t is of great
importance and you will submit
it to careful and thorough
test.
much of his testimony deals
with sex relations. In judging
the truth, it would be well to
remember that sexual influence
exerts tremendous power over
thoughts and actions"
Judge Fosdick instructed the
jurors to probe deeply into Nc,
Mahon's testimony and try to
learn the truth. They were
asked to seek a motive that
would make Mcmahon give such
testimony.
He pointed out that there are
three verdicts possible-not guilty,
which would mean freedom; !;
guilty of first-degree murder,
carrying the death penalty in the
electric chair, and guilty of sec
ond-degree murder, carrying life
Imprisonment.

CASH
FOUND ON
BODY BY
DOCTOR
John MuIIigan Arrested When
Ella SChrodt Dies After
Mt. Rainier Drinking

Ella M. Schrodt, SO, former
credit investigator for an r
Street jewelry store, was slain
last night shortly after a
drinking party broke up in
her bungalow home in Mt.
Rainier, Md.
This was the theory of police
today as they arrested John c.
Mulligan, so, collector for the
same firm, and charged him with
the murder of the woman, who
was known to some persons as his
wife and to others as his sister.
Wound Washed
The woman was found dead in
bed in the little house in the 5000
block Rhode Island Ave, a fatal
wound in her forehead, apparently
inflicted by a blunt instrument.
Putting evidence together, police
believe the woman was slain be.
tween 10 and II o'clock last night.
DR.. Harry Nalley, summoned to
the house by Mulligan about 3
o'clock this morning, told police
that the woman had been dead
between three and four hours.
DR.. Nalley, who came in re-
sponse to Mulligan's plea to come
and see a sick woman, found her
in bed dead, all blood washed
from the wound in her forehead.
He Immediately called police.
Tells of Drinking
Mrs. Mary Dyer, of Cottage
City, Md, told Chief of Police ELL
gene Plummer that she and her
husband visited the house yester-
day afternoon and that there was
considerable drinking.
Mrs. Schrodt passed" out, ac-
cording to police, and was put to
bed about 10 o'clock. The Dyers
left at this time, police said.
Taking this time into account
and the time that must have been
spent in mopping up blood in the
house, police believe the killing
took place within an hour after
the guests left the place.
Incoherent when taken into
custody, Mulligan was unable to
give a clear account of what took
place last night or tell definitely
the relationship between himself
and the woman.
Mulligan was taken into custody
after bloodstains were found on
his clothing. He insisted he did
not know what had happened to
the woman.
Inquest Tonight
A quantity of liquor was seized
in the place and police placed an
additional charge of illegal pos
session against him.
An inquest into the death will
be held tonight at the Mt. Rainier
town hall by Acting Coroner Rob"
ert E. Joyce.
The couple had lived in the
bungalow for eight years and
frequently quarreled after they
had been drinking, neighbors
told police.
States Attorney Alan Bowie
sent to Baltimore for the services
of Detective William Feeley, Of
the homicide squad, to assist
local officers in solving the case.
