Mrs. Jssie B. Costello, on trial for

quarters at Salem Jail, awaiting
the dawn of a new week to re-

PARIS, Aug. S G.N.SO.-The
French ambassador in Berlin was
instructed today to lodge formal
protest with the Hitler govern
ment Immediately concerning
German aerial demonstrations
over Austrian territory.
The envoy, Ambassador Andre
Francois-Poncet, was also in

in broadcasting Nazi propaganda
to Austria. He was told to hand
a formal note to the German
foreign minister.
An identic note, it was under

British ambassadors.
French governmental circles
said Italy took similar action
verbally several days ago.
The instructions were sent to
Franois-Poncet as Great Britain

that Nazi Germany is re-arming

About 80 troopers were escort

Singing out McGrath, one of the
farmers threw a rock which struck
the captain over the left eye and
opened a deep cash.
This was the signal for a free

She Calls McMahon A Stool Pigeon"
Claims He Did the Police Dirty Work

Then, with amazing cleverness,
she proceeded to inform the jury
that Mcmahon was a stool pigeon
for the police department, that
he did the dirty work that no one
else would do, that he didn't have
sand enough to tell the truth
when the police wanted him to
tell something else, that he had
been pumped full of that story
and didn't have the courage to
refuse to tell It.
Some of the things he said were
true. She admitted that. But
the implications we're false. And
when she had finished. you saw
McMahon's story as mixture Of
truth and lies-in the mind OF
Jessie Costello.
And there were many in the
courtroom who thought it would
have been wiser to leave that
story alone rather than to give
Jessie Costello a chance to deny
it line by line, letter by letter.

Mr.. Gregg. 1 didn't want people

For a moment even the district
attorney was silent. Little by lit
tie, he had led her through the
story of things she said Bill Cos
tello did, things that were pc
culiar. He wanted to show that
they had happened because Bill
Costello had found out that his
wife was faithless. She had
struggled against answering them,
for the first time unable to an
swer' overcome with tears, head
bowed.
But at last it seemed that he
had trapped her. At last it seemed
that perhaps she was lying. If
she was afraid of Bills mental
condition, if she was afraid he
might do harm, why hadn't she
done something? Why hadn't she
taken him to a doctor? Why
hadn't she told some one about
these things?

and scientists will innoculate her
with the serum and she, under
observation all the time from the
scientists, will also become
mother of a scientific child.

leaves and his own blood and

And finally he took poor NC
Mahon's story out of its Shroud
and shook it before her like a

such as I think no other man has
ever told in an American court
room.
He flung them at her, those
nasty, indecent, horrid tales.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Aug. S
G.N.S0 Fresh from the World
Economic Conference in London,
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
arrived here shortly before /
p. m. today.
The State Department chief
motored directly from New York
city, and will remain over night,
motoring back to New York early
tomorrow. He has no engage.
ments scheduled, and will spend
all of his time here in the
Hyde Park home where President
Roosevelt is vacationing.
Primarily. the visit of the State
Department head was for the pur-
pose of submitting to the Presi-
dent full report on the confer"
ence at London. Behind this,
however, there persisted rumors
that Hull'S dissatisfaction with the
policies of Assistant Secretary Of
State Raymond Moley, long con.
fidant and adviser of the Presi.
dent, was the principal reason
that the State Secretary came
here so speedily.
Moley, who heads the Presi.
dents brain trust" was recently
assigned the task of gathering a
synopsis" of crime laws leading
up to a national campaign against
racketters and gangsters.
Rumors have persisted that the
task given to Moley, which will
take him away from his State
Department duties for a month
or more, was handed him for the
purpose of keeping the tWo-Hull
and Moley-apart, until the dis
pute is smoothed over.
Mr.. Roosevelt said quite plainly
that Moley would resume his
State Department duties when he
has completed the crime survey.
To Hull there has been attrib-
uted bluntly the desire to GUST
Moley from State Department az

best witness I ever heard in a
courtroom.
A Bitter Waiting
Perhaps on Monday the district
attorney will have something
new.
Right now, I'd say it's her word
against McMahon's. Take your
choice.
What will the coming days, be-
fore the case goes to the jury,
produce? Will other witnesses
confirm her story - Will others
deny it?
The drama of a great murder
trial goes on. Jessie Costcllo's
fate is in the balance. The God

that Jessie Costello must wait

"Why didn't you do what you

Jessie Costello lifted her head
slowly and looked first at the Dis

forward until he stood towering
over her, menacing, triumphant.
Then her dark eyes went over his
head and looked at something
that none of the rest of us could

She said:

Simmons was active in the coun-
