Her hands torn and bruised from
welding crude saw, the hysteri-
cal blond tigress' was watched by
relays of matrons while Warden
A. G. Walker ordered search for
her brother, Burton j. McKinnell,
who is alleged to have brought her
the tools.
Surprised by guards after she
sawed through two steel bars in her
cell, Mrs. Judd collapsed from ex-
haustion, and admitted she was
attempting to escape, the warden
claimed.
The jailbreak attempt took place
while Mrs. Judd was making her
last futile bid for clemency to the
state board of pardons and paroles.
DiscIoses Saw Episode
The board denied her plea Thurs
day night, and Friday Warden
Walker disclosed the saw episode,
explaining the inquiry had been kept
secret because he did not wish to
injure her standing before the
board
Under sentence to hang April 81
for the murder of Agnes Ann Leroi,
her best friend, Mrs. Judd can
escape the gallows now only by be-
ing declared insane or winning a re-
view in the United States supreme
court.
McKinnell, the brother, visited
her at the prison some time ago,
Walker said. A few nights later a
guard heard the rasp of a saw COM
ing from Mrs. Judd's cell. He re-
ported it to Walker, who ordered
her watched, but not disturbed, un-
til morning.
At dawn Walker and the guards
entered the cell. Mrs. Judd became
hysterical.
Repeats Threat Daily
"She worked herself into a
tantrum and cried out that she
would commit suicide" Walker said.
She has repeated this threat almost
daily. We have removed everything
from her cell that could be used in
such an attempt"
Walker said no charges have been
lodged against McKinnell.
McKinnell Thursday night tel
ephoned the United Press in Los
boards decision. The ruling had not
been issued at that time, and Nc
Kinnell accepted an invitation to
come to the bureau. He did not
arrive, however.
Even had Mrs. Judd succeeded in
escaping from her cell, she still
would have been unable to leave the
outer cell block, Warden Walker
said.

Nazi Drive in Berlin Is 100
Per Cent Effective
by Noon.
NO VIOLENCE REPORTED
Little More Excitement
Than on Ordinary
Election Day.
BY CLIFFORD L. DAY
United Press Stan Correspondent

BE R LIN, April 1.-The
Nazi boycott of Jewish indus
try and commerce was re-
ported 100 per cent complete
in Berlin at noon today.
Two hours after the edict clamp
ing down a closure on all places of
business owned by Jewish people
went into effect, the stcppage of all
trade with prescribed elements of
the population had been completed
IN many other cities as we'll as in
Berlin.
In many quarters of Berlin a
holiday seemed to be in progress
The boycott was orderly during
the first hours. Reports from out
lying cities indicated there was lit
tie more excitement than on an or
binary election day.
In Berlin, iron-clad discipline was
enforced among the broWn-shirted
Nazls, who closed Jewish stores. and
stood guard to prevent customers
from entering.
Big Stores Remain Closed
The guards, stationed in twos
and threes as pickets. carried
placards inviting Germans to de
fend yourselves against Jewish
atrocity propaganda
Many of Berlin's larger stores
posted signs in black and red, in
forming tourists of the boycott. and
explaining the situation in English.
Posters were attached to large
display windows explaining the boy
colt.
Numbers of furrierS' shops. cafes.
restaurants and other commercial
houses, anticipating the boycott, re-
manned completely closed. Among
them were the we'll known depart
ment stores, Hermann Tietz and
the Kaufhaus Des Westerns.
Less Severe Than Expected
Nazi pickets pasted big black and
yellow signs on the closed shops, but
withdrew their pickets when it was
seen that they would remain locked.
The noted shop of Wertheims was
open through the morning, but it's
aIsles were almost empty.
The boycott was less severe than
had been anticipated, however, for
a United Press correspondent was
able to enter at least nine stores
known to be owned by Jews, without
molestation from pickets. He was
warned not to make any purchases.
Jewish shops were open in the
fashionable West-center of Berlin,
but there were no customers.
In many shops, the hardy soul
who entered was greeted with the
surprised expression, Good morn
ing-you're the first one to come
in today
Crowds Dense in Streets
Early in the day, only clusters of
the curious sightSeers surrounded
the pickets. AS day wore on, how
ever, the crowds grew so dense that
the squads of Nazis patroling
doorways, Haunting their swastika
emblems, were hardly visible in the
milling mobs.
Would-be customers had to fight
their way through these crowds.
In some streets of the eastern
section, where Jewish shops pre-
dominate, nearly every shop was
closed and suffered
Some of these shops were placard-
ed with signs advising customers
that it was dangerous to life to
buy here

The prisoner she went after was.

And the warrant, which she car

She was unable to do this, so was
sworn in as a deputy and departed

Subscribers. in the future. will pay 25 cents
a month for handsets until they have paid SO.
Then the extra charge will cease. Those who
already have paid extra charges amounting to
50 will have the cradle set charge removed
from their bills Immediately
Perhaps there was some excuse for this
charge originally. The demand for these
handsets was far greater than the supply.
The company felt it could not afford to scrap
the standard desk sets all ut once without
heavy losses.
No doubt. as it gets into production with
the more modern type of phone. the cradle
type charge eventually will be removed en-
tirely and the desk set will become as archaic
as the ld-fashioned wall phone.
1t is unfortunate that more public utility

DRAUGHT BEER AGAIN

THERE is no longer any good reason why
Indiana should not have draught beer.
The fact that two or three communities in
the state have chosen TO defy the law is no
reason for penalzing the rest of the state
and depriying 1t of cheap brew.
This newspaper frequently has criticised
Governor McNutt's beer law. The answer
from the administration always has been that
draught beer might bring back the saloon,
cause beer wars and generally disgust people
so that the state would vote dry in the refer
endum for repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment
Perhaps the Governor right in this
defense OF his beer legislation. Tie fact is
that under the operation of this law, faulty
as it is. the saloon did not return. drunkenness
decreased and the state voted down the
eighteenth amendment.
The Governor has the power by executive
order to permit draught beer Now that In
diana formally has proved itself to be wet
overwhelmingly, he should promulgate such
an order and end the silly tangle into which
the state is getting over beer.
