GANDH| FASTING
UNTO NEW LIFE
Letter From Prison Tells
English Friend Power OF
Call From Above.

LONDON (P.-India's frail little
mystic. M. K. Gandli, sees his present
starvation campaign. now in its third
and last week. as fasting unto new
life" rather than a fasting unto
death"
He makes this distinction in let
ter. written from Yeravda Central
Prison before his release. to his great
friend and boswell in England, c. F.
Andrews.
L understand and even appreciate
the moral repulsion against fasting
unto DEATH" he explained to Andrews,
whom he addresses as MY Dear Char
lie" Il have perhaps some repulsion,
If not the same repulsion. against fast
ing unto death myself but remain
unmoved e.

definite place in Hinduism, and prop

erly so. have not a shadow Of q doubt.
but it is a privilege that comes only to
a few, and when it comes in obedience
to a call from above, 1t has mighty
force
"Only fasting unto death is a cor
rupt expression Where l used it first
It had its definite meaning. Now 1t Is
being used torn from its context and
looks certainly barbarous.
But it is there. and its real mean
ing is unmistakable and you can al
most say that it is not SO much fast
ing unto death as it is a fasting unto
new life"
His campaign to remove untoucha-
bility from Hinduism has excited SYM
pathy among his friends in England.
No Governmental Meaning.
That the feeling extends beyond this
circle is also apparent, since this fast,
unlike others which the Mahatma has
carried on is divorced from any govern
mental meaning.
Most of his friends have feared that
he was sacrificing his life, few believ-
ing that he had more than an outside
chance of surviving if the fast was car
ried through the 21-day period.
These have said they dreaded the
effects which would follow his death,
if it should occur.
India relies upon him" said Miss
drews in the India conciliation group
here. for he Is a moderate curbing

influence that England-no less than
India-can i'll afford to lose'

Prosecutor Does Not In
tend to Spend Much
Time in Presenting the
Case for State

Barnstable. Mass. June 13-U.
PD-District Attorney William C..
Crossley was to spend but a brief
hour to-day in presenting to a
Barnstable County jury the facts
the state would try to prove
against two Cape Cod brothers
charged with the kidnapping of ten
year-old Peggy McMath for $780,
900 ransom.
With the same speed that feat

and the jurors visit to various
spots figuring in the case. Cross
ley then intended to present wit
nesses in rapidfire order in the
hope of ending the trial of Ken
meth Buck, %, and Cyril Buck Al,
within few days, perhaps week.
The burden of his exposition was
to be a recital of the parts the
state contends the brothers played
in the kidnapping, with emphasis on
the fact that the district attorney
does not consider Cyril less in
volved than his younger brother.
Cyril has claimed his only interest,
as contact man between the Nc

The states first witness will be
Nelson Bearse. civil engineer, who
drew plans of the places in which
Peggy was confined and of roads
traversed by the kidnaper. Ser
geant j. Walter Toxins, state po-
lice photographer, was to follow
him with pictures which Crossley
regards as the most important eX-
hibitS in the case.
The part played by the State Po-
lice in the speedy recovery of the
child and the $4,000 ransom
money will be described in detail
by Detective Lieutenant Ernest
Bradford, in charge of the Cape
area for the state police.
Crossley said he expects to offer

Under the name of Thorn the
local authorities are unable to re-
call anything concerning the young
woman and are waiting official
queries as to her past history. Ii
she Is the young woman the Wa
terbury police are suspicious of the
case will become one of several
local features.
Two young men, passengers in
big automobile with New York
markers, made a getaway when a
storekeeper detained the young
woman to explain the appearance
of the. suspicious bill. Miss Thorn
gave New York addresses before
claiming Waterbury as place of
residence.
Last week in the city court a
youth named John Delinikaitis, Is.
was ordered held for superior court
under bonds of $1,000. He was ar
rested while trying to pass a $40
bill in Bank street clothing store.
Although Delinikaitis maintained
that he found the bill near Step
ney his actions in attempting to
dispose of it convinced the author
tiles that he knew there was some-
thing phoney about the $40 bill he
had offered in payment of shirt
and some socks.
1t is the ''hunch" of the police
that Miss Thorn may prove to be
a relative of Delinikaitis and that
the same gang is responsible for
the circulation of counterfeit $40
bills in various parts of New Eng
land.

THE STORM DID
NO DAMAGE HERE
Temperature Took a Big
Drop and the Change
Was Welcome
RATHER CHILLY TO-DAY

No damage resulted from the
rain and lightning storm which Wis
tied the city late yesterday after
noon. during the evening and early
this morning. Officials of the Power
and Telephone companies stated
that they did not receive the force
of the storm and that complaints
amounted to only the normal fig
ures received daily.
Superintendent Thomas Fleming
of the street department made a
similar report. There was no place
struck by lightning, as far as the
police and fire department records
showed. This time Waterbury es-
capped lucky.
However, during the day the
temperature almost hit a high
mark and everybody in the city
sweltered under what they called
the hottest day so far this sum-
mer. The showers helped to lower
the mercury. Today there Is quite
change and people appreciate It.
