THREE DIE IN
LOVE TRAGEDY

LOS ANGELES, Nov, 6. W.P) -
A love triangle involving romance
of the old south was described by
police today as they charged the
deaths of William Patrick Leyden,
80, his 16-year-old son and young
widow to suicide and murder.
Feeling himself hopelessly en-
tangled, Leyden shot himself to
death after killing his son, Will
liam, and Mrs. Effie M. Wright, 35-
year-old widow and Sunday school
superintendent, police said. The
second woman in the triangle was
Leydens bride, the former Della
Bordensof, Birmingham, Ala, who
came here two MONTHS ago to mar
ry him.
According to detectives, Leyden,
an automobile salesman, and Mrs.
Wright had been on friendly terms
for two years before they parted,
either after a quarrel or because
of a rebirth of boyhood romance
which allied him to the Birmilg-
ham girl. They said he wrote Ter
proposal and she came to Los
Angeles to become his wife.
Despite his marriage, Leyden re-
newed his friendship with Mrs.
Wright, police said. The situation
ended in tragedy when he appeared
at her home, summoned his son and
shot them both before ending lis
own life. Mrs Leyden was report
ed on tie verge of collapse.
The boy was Leyden's son by a
former marriage.

African Post.
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

ROME, Nov. 8. - Air Minister
Italo Balbo today was relegated to
the gcvernorship Of Libia. His re-
moval from the cabinet was part
of a long planned shakeup which
left Premier Benito MuSsolini head

his other cabinet posts.
Balbo, a few weeks ago Italy IS
greatest hero because he led the
mass seaplane flight to the United
States, had been reported as hav-
ing incurred Mussolini s displeas-
ure
But it was known Mussolini had
long planned to combine the fight
ing forces, and that as Q first step
he would make himself navy and
air ministers. He already held the
war ministry as we'll as the pre-
miership and the ministries of for
eign affairs, corporations or Fas-
ciSt guilds and interior.
Previous reports said Balbo would
be made chief of staff of the COM
bined services.
Libia is an African colony across
the Mediterranean from Italy.
1t was recalled that the late
Gen. Francesca De Pinedo, once a
greater air hero even than Balbo,
suddenly was denoted from chief
of staff of the air force under
Balbo to the post of cir attache of
the Buenos Aires embassy.
De Pinedo, after years in dis
favor, was trying a come back by
means of a New York-Rome flight.
His plane crashed in taking off
and he was killed.
Mussolini sent cordial letters of
appreciation for their cabinet SER
vices to Balbo and Admiral Giu-
seppe Sirianna who was shifted
from head of the navy to a post
in a metallurgical company, it was
announced.
Giocchino Russo, undersecretarq of
navy, and Raffello Ricciardi, un-
dersecretary of aviation, resigned

ATHENS, Nov. 6. (U.H - The
American minister today handed
to the foreign office notice that the
United States would cancel the
Greek-American extradition treaty
because of the Greek refusal to sur
render Samuel insult, Chicago util-
tiles magnate, charged with crimi-
nal offenses in connection with the
collapse of his companies.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. U.P) -
Secretary of State Hull indicated
today that so long as Samuel In
sull remained in Greece it appar-
emily would be useless for the
United States to make further ef-
forts to extradite him here on en-
bezzlement charges.
The United States last night sent
Greece a stern note saying it con-
sidered refusal of Greek courts to
permit insults extradition as "ut-
terly untenable" and expressing a
desire to abrogate the American
tions under the treaty.

BACHMAN CHOSEN
SPARTAN MENTOR
Former Florida Grid Coach
to Succeed Crowley at
Michigan State.
BY the Associated Press.
- AST LANSING Mich

BY the Associated Press
" Asst LANSING, Mich, February
- 17.-Charles w. Bachman, for
mer University of Florida foot
ball coach, and exponent Of the
Notre Dame system, will succeed James
H. Crowley as gridiron mentor at Mich
igan State College.
Agreement with the governing board
Of the college was reached late yester-
day in a long distance telephone con-
versation with Bachman at GAINESVILLE,
Fla. The new coach comes to State
without a contract. The amount OF
his salary was not divulged, but was
believed to be ABOUT $500 a year.
Crowley, now head coach at Ford
ham University, drew $4,000 annually.
Bachman's coaching career began
in 1917 at De Pauw University in
Greencastle, Ind. Like Crowley, he
learned his foot ball under Coach Knute
K Rockne at Notre Dame, winning
three varsity letters as guard and
back. He was graduated in June Of
1917 with a degree in law.
IN 1918 Bachman joined the Navy and
i won prominence as center on the
Great Lakes Naval Training Station
Service eleven. In 1919 he was made head
coach at Northwestern University, and
a year later went to Kansas State
College. Here he gained fame by turn
ing out foot ball teams that defeated
Kansas in four straight seasons, and
developed phenomenal scoring punch.
Bachman transferred to the Uni
versity Of Florida in 1928 and remained
there until the present. In his first
season at Florida the Gators were
among the leading scorers in the coun-
try. Florida during his regime scored
its first victories over Georgia and
Georgia Tech. Bachman probably
will take over his new duties here
about March /.
