whitening Cross-Fire Fails to
Shake Widows Testimony
in Salem Poison Trial

COURTHOUSE, SALEM,
Mass, Aug. 3 QN.S).-With
her back to the wall and
fighting, perhaps for her life,
Mrs. Jessie B. Costello this
afternoon continued to deny
under cross-examination the
story of illicit love as related
by Edward j. Mcmahon, So
called ''kiss and tell" ex-
policeman.
"It's not so." She snapped
back this answer repeatedly to
questions fired by District At
torney Hugh A. Gregg-that
she went on trysts with him in
an automobile, that she invited
him to her home, that she was
more friendly to him than to
any other man and that she
encouraged him.
did he ever make any i'm
proper advances to yOu?"
"I'lI give him credit for that
much-nO."
did you kill your husband,
Mrs. COstellO?"
"NO, did not"
"Did you love him to the
end?"
eyes, 1 did"
Mrs. Costello dealt a smashing
blow to the States case when she
admitted buying empty gelatinous
capsules at Peabody drug store
but declared they were purchased
for a woman neighbor and given
to the latter in the drug store.
Blow to the Prosecutor
State medical witnesses had tes-
titled to finding a gelatinous sub
stance in the stomach Of Costello
consistent either with cyanide OF
potassium, which killed him, or
food. The final and surprise"
prosecution witness, George N.
Russell, pharmacists assistant,
told of the capsule purchase by
Mrs. Costello four months before
the death of the fire captain.
It was not four months before
Costello's death but a year ago
last March that she purchased
empty capsules, she said.
"What did you do with the
capsules?"
'I gave them to Mrs. Bison
right in the store"
Jessie was calm when she gave
this testimony but at the out
set today-her second day on
the stand-she broke down and
cried as she told of finding her
husbands body and denied she
had moved it to the hallway,
where it was found. Her voice
broke as she said:
81 saw my Bill lying in the
hallway. 1 screamed and went
downstairs. didn't go near
the body because three years
ago I went through similar
experience with baby. Bill had
the same look"

HYPO NEEDLE.
BABY DUE
OCT.16
Or. E. A. budding Announces
Approaching Success of
22 Years. Study

The worlds first chemical
scientific baby will be born on
October 16, according to a
"prenatal announcement" sent
out today by DR.. Earl Ellicott
budding, widely known in
Washington for his prison re-
lief society work.
The parents of the child, which
will be named Chemical budding
and the sex will be female
are DR.. budding, his wife, and a
hypodermic needle.
For more than % years DR..
budding has been experimenting
with artificial propagation of the
race, he said, for the purpose Of
producing a child free from GRIM
inal traits and tendencies.
Success At Last a
Success has at last crowned his
long research work, he believes,
and October will see elimination
of the experimental work.
Under this method of reproduc-
ton the sex of the child can be
told in advance, he said, as we'll
as the exact date of birth.
DR.. budding served five years
in the Moundsville Penitentiary
in West Virginia, following his
conviction of shooting and kill
ing his uncle, Ira Chapman, in
Huntington, w. Va, where he
now makes his home.
Despite his plea that the shoot
ing took place in self-defense,
DR.. budding was found guilty.
Started His Reforms
In the prison he started his
work of reforming the inmates
and arranging to give them a
fresh start in life on their re-
lease.
On his release he founded
the Prisoners Relief Society and
for several years maintained
headquarters here in Washing
ton, giving aid through the or
ganization to eX-convicts.
About a year ago he left Wash
ington and returned to his form
er home, where he has been
continuing his welfare work and
carrying on his experiments.

HELD
SET To OPEN

The last major obstacle to the
merger creating the Hamilton Ma
tional Bank will be cleared away
sometime today, it was said by
Treasury attaches, as officials OF
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration and the Comptroller'S Of
flee held what is believed to be the
final conference on the loan appli-
cations of the eight banks involved
in the merger.
Action by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation and Treasury
officials today is expected to make
possible opening of the new bank
August IS, the scheduled date.
There remains nothing more to
do in the matter of opening other
than the return of depositors'
proof of claims and few minor
details as to office equipment, it
was explained. Thus the opening
has been placed up to the deposi-
tors themselves, E. c. Graham,

COMMITTEES
NAMED FOR
CAMPAIGN
Bankers, Thousands Of Local
Companies, and Big Indus
tries Signing Codes
By international News Service

Mobilization of the buying
power of the nation was under
way today as the next big
step in the recovery program.
Preparations are being made to
launch a campaign throughout
the nation which will seek to
utilize the spending ability Of
those who have available money,
backed up by the new-made
dollars of those whom it is hoped
60 add to the payrolls before snow
flies.
Local Committees Formed
The latter phase of the recovery
effort is getting under way as the
committees in State and local
communities organize. Backing
up this national move were the
pledges of additional thousands OF
local firms, each with the pros
pect of increased employment as
the agreement takes effect.
Stimulating further the en-
ployment effort, Hugh s. Johnson,
the national administrator, eased
the terms of the blanket code for
q larger group, as he had done
earlier for the retail food and
chain stores.
10000 Banks Sign
The effect was an immediate
signing of approximately 10000
banks, and the adherence under
temporary agreements, pending
adoption Of formal codes, of a
group of major industrial manu-
facturers, including the electrical
manufacturers, the radio indus
try, and a number of textile manu-
tacturerS.
Work continued with the cotton
garment code, successful termina'
ton of which will mean, accord
ing to r. o. Kennedy, Troy, N.
Y., manufacturer, additional en-
ployment of 10000 to $4,000 work
ers.
There was a promise the petro-
Heum code would finally be COM
pleted, after threatened dead
locks throughout the week, while
ommittees were attempting to
hgree on controverted points.
Price Fixing is Urged

fixing was brought to bear

ray of Oklahoma, F. P. Walsh, of
the Consolidated Oil Interests;
Ernest Thompson. Texas railroad
commissioner, and others.
j. F. Faulkner. of Baltimore,
representing filing stations, urged
abolition of the leasing and Ii
cense system. On this point it ap-
peared the committees were pre-
pared to leave a decision to the
Federal Trade Commission. If
that body does not act within
60 days, it has been decided,
johnson will be permitted to in
clude a provision in whatever
code is finally adopted.
Meanwhile it virtually has been
