MURDER HALTED BY DEAD VISION
Would-Be Slayer Saw His Killed Mother and
 Couldn't GO On

Athol, Mass, Nov 24-UP)-A vision of his murdered mother de- tered him from murdering a Roy alison farmer in an insurance plot, according to the reputed confession of state highway worker to police here.
 Arthur A. Shaw, 51, steam-roller operator. told authorities that he had been hired to slay James Jolly, 55, with a good luck" horseshoe to collect $1O,000 insurance.
 Alton w. Corliss, 49, South Roy alston truckman, beneficiary of the policy. allegedly hired Shaw to do the killing. Both pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge and were held for the grand jury in lieu of $1O,000 bonds each.
 Shaw said he crept up behind Jolly in the latter's barn. It was planned, police quoted Shaw as saying, for him to slay the farmer with a horseshoe which hung over the barn door, thus making it ap- pear that Jolly had died from a kick by a horse.
 Suddenly, Shaw told authorities, he had vivid recollection of his mother who was slain 20 years ago. That and the memory of his fath- CT, who after killing the mother blew himself to pieces with dyna- mite, prevented him from carrying out his plan, Shaw confessed.

DUKE OF ATHOLL
 GIVEN BIG FINE
He Sold Lottery Ticket and Was Assessed
 Sl92 and Costs

London, Nov 24-UP)-The Duke of Atholl, owner of 202,000 acres of land and the only private army in Europe, was fined $132 at Bow street police court today for selling a lottery ticket. He was as- sessed $192 in costs.
 This was climax to the wealthy 61-year-old Dukes effort to aid British hospitals with money that otherwise would have gone to Ire- land for the Irish sweepstakes.
 Interested in hospital work. he conceived a plan to circumvent the lottery laws. People were to give him $2.50 each for a hospital fund. The gift feature was emphasized. The duke was to dictate use of the money. It was of course under stood. if not officially. that some of the money would trickle back to holders of receipts" which were numbered, after the running of a certain horse race.
 The race was run and the duke distributed the money. First Scot land Yard men plodded up past his army to his Blair castle, in Pert shire, and told him the public prosecutor had decided he was guilty of violating the lottery law Next came complaints that toe much of the hundreds of thousands of dollars he had coliected went for expenses.
