LOWELL DEFENDED
BY BAR OF BOSTON
Judicial Duty Honestly Performed
in Releasing Crawford, Says
Resolution.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, April 29-The Boston BaI
Association today defended Federal
Judge James A. Lowell, whose of1icial
conduct Is under investigation In Con-
gress and declared. in q formal reso-
luton, that "he should be free from
attack for performing his judicial duty
honestly and in accordance with his
best judgment"
Judge Lowell was impeached in the
House by Representative Smith. DEM
ocrat, Virginia. because of statements
made by him in granting a writ OF
habeaS corpus, releasing George Craw-
ford, colored. indicted for murder in
Virginia. Judge Lowell held that even
though Crawford were returned and
convicted. the United States Supreme
Court would reverse the conviction be-
cause colored persons were not called
for jury duty in Virginia.
The Bar Associations resolution
pointed out that Judge Lowell was
bound by statement of facts agreed
to by Crawford's counsel and counsel
for the State of Massachusetts, which
was filed with the court. This statement
said that it had long been the custom
and practice in Virginia not to call
colored persons for jury duty and cited
affidavits by Virginia court oflcials In
support OF this claim
"This statement" the resolution said
"was filed and agreed to, and thus be-
came binding upon Judge Lowell, SUBJ
ject only to the question whether he
had, under the approved practice on
habeas corpus in extradition cases, the
right to consider such facts, or wheth-
er on the other hand they should be
given consideration in the first instance
by the courts of Virginia.

Suicides Are Due
Chiefly to Vanity
BY the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI, April "a study
of suicides in the United States,
as disclosed in cold insurance

liam Muhlberg to conclude today
that masculine vanity was at the
bottom of q large percentage Of
these tragedies In the last three
years.
Insurance records indicate. the
physician said, that most of those
who took their lives In the last
three years were men; that most
Of them were leaders in their
communities, and that, although
they apparently killed themselves
because Of loss Of money, "the
majority left estates.
The thing that drives men to
take their own lives, 1t seems"

swallow the pride they have en-
joyed building during their pros

Hitler Government Makes Play to
Political Prisoners.
BERLIN, April 20 UP).-The new
Hitler government made q bid for
popularity with Germany's vast army
amnesty to thousands Of Socialist and
other political opponents imprisoned
since the national revolution.
The minister of interior announced
that about 1000 members of the Left,
taken into custody in Bavaria when
Hitler assumed power, will be released
Monday.
The federal commissioner for Saxony
similarly ordered that all imprisoned
Marxists, except those in positions of
leadership, be granted their freedom.
The Berlin police announced their in
tention to do likewise at the earliest
possible moment.
In addition to showing insight into
the psychology of the masses with these
amnesty moves, the chancellor seems to
have scored by not forbidding the time
honored May day celebrations hitherto
reserved to Socialist and Communist
workers.
On the contrary. he has elevated the
day to holiday for all workers, intel
lectual or manual, irrespective Of
political creed
For the first time in postwar history
not only the General Federation of
Socialists, has announced its intention
Of participating, but also the Christian
Trade Unions, which in other years
held aloof on the ground that May day
was Marxist festival.
