Mrs. Buccolo Calm as Jury
Hears Killing Was Planned
COunter-Statement of Defense Details
Story of Domestic Tragedy Ending

The story Of a domestic tragedy, be-
ginning with an elopement and ending
in death, was told today to a District
eide whether Mrs. Mary Irene Buccolo
is to die in the electric chair for the
murder Of her husband.
The 40-year-old defendant. her face
plainly showing the strain of the past
two years, sat calmly in the court
room while Assistant United States
Attorney Julian l. Richards related
the facts which the Government con-
tends will show she deliberately killed
her husband Rudolph by firing six
shots into his body after he had re-
fused to give up an affair with a
22-year-old girl.
BuccClo was shot when he went to
visit his wife on the morning of Sep
tember 8. 1893. in her mothers home
at 41o4 Fifth street.
Wife's Version Related.
After Richards had finished his
statement Defense Attorney George D.
Horning gave the wife's version of the
killing.
He related how Buccolo, then a 25-
year-old coffee salesman, met his fu-
ture wife while she was employed
at the Civil Service Commission. He
described the courtship, telling of the
flowers, candy and other attentions
showered upon her by Buccolo, which
eliminated March Is. 1922, in an
elopment to Ellicott City, Md.
Mrs. Buccolo, four years older than
her husband. kept her job after the
wedding, saving her money eventually
to build a home, the attorney de-
clared. The jury was told the couple
lived happily for several years until
Buccolo became infatuated with an
actress. When the wife learned CT
this, Horning declared, she resolved
to make the best of it and finally
succeeded in regaining her husbands S
affections.
Refused to Get Divorce.
Their married life then progressed
smoothly until 1892, according to the
defense, until the husband fell in love
with Florence Galleher, 22-year -old
clerk in a candy store. The attorney
told Of the wife's efforts to break up
this affair and of the husbands at
tempts to force her to divorce him by
adopting a systematic course of cruel
and unnatural treatment. He said
Mrs. Buccolo, because of her religious
beliefs and her love for her husband,
refused to grant a divorce and per-
sisted in her attempts to bring about
reconciliation until the day of the
shooting.
Richards told the jury Of 10 men
and two women that Mrs. Buccolo ap-
preached her husband and Miss Gal
leher at Eleventh street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue on the night preceding
the shooting. He told of a dispute
between the wife and the young wom-
an, terminating when the former
walked away after saying: You will
pay for this hurt to me-"
Richards then declared Mrs. Buccolo
had applied on August z, 1888, for
permission to purchase pistol. After
the usual police investigation, he said,
the permit was issued and the sale
consummeted on August II.
He told the jury Mrs. Buccolo on the
morning of September telephoned
her husband at the Capitol Park

Charles Curtis" at his home telephone
but just Charles Curtis, lawyer" at
his Office, said:
''They did not ask me about it and
I certainly did not ask them. I don't
care whether I'm listed as Honor
able or Mister or What. What
does the Hon really mean, any
way?"
Second Hon. Curtis"
There is a second Hon. Charles
Curtis" in the directory, his full name
being Charles Boyd Curtis.
The telephone representatives also
explained that as to some of those of
high position listed without the title,
they had telephones long before their
elevation into eminence. Daniel Ro-
per, Secretary Of Commerce, has had
a Washington telephone since 1922, it
was pointed out, and Henry A. Wallace
had telephone at Wardman Park
Hotel before he was made Secretary
Of Agriculture. There has never been
request for the title Hon. from
either Of them.
Examination of the Congressional
Directory shows that the only man
who rates the title Hon. in its pages
is the Minister from Canada, the Hon.
William Duncan Herridge, K. c., D.
s. O., M. G.
There is one man in the telephone
directory who comes by the title by
birth. That is Hon, Edgar E. He
lives in Hyattsville and Is listed on

Slight relief from the extreme cold

A new low mark for the season was

A high wind, which blew up over
the AnacoStia fats late yesterday
damaged a plane which the Anacostia
Naval Air Station had given the
Civilian Conservation Corps, and which
was being towed through the streets.
The wind became too much for the
corpsmen, who were towing the plane
along Minnesota avenue southeast, and
after the craft had been blown into
tree, damaging wing tip, the plane
was anchored behind barbecue res
taurant at Minnesota and Pennsyl-
vania avenues southeast.

President Roosevelt is considering
creation of some machinery of the
Government for publication of execu-
tive orders and presidential proclama-
tionS.
There never has been such pub
lication, and the various orders and
proclamations issued by the Presi-
dents have been kept in the files OF
the White House and in file in the
State Department which is available
for public use.
The Presidents consideration OF
this subject was prompted by the
United States Supreme Court recently
Mr.. Roosevelt said there is no reason
for secrecy about executive orders or
proclamations and there is no reason
why they should not be published,
but he is the first one to study the
subject to determine the proper chan
mel of publication. He added that it
is his idea to start a sort of news
paper for this purpose and he is to
look into the subject so as to deter
mine upon the proper machinery to

RELIEF FAMILIES
US|NGLESS MILK
Sharp Decline in Consump'
ton Follows Price Cut.
Allen Puzzled.

Consumption of milk by families on
the District relief list dropped heavily
last month after Commissioner Allen
had won a reduction in the price
from II to 8 cents a quart for these
families, it was revealed today.
The development has left relief Off
Gals puzzled.
One thing which moved Allen to
make his drive for cheaper milk for
relief families was the declaration by
health experts that INDECENT families,
particularly where children are in
volved, needed more milk than they
were able to buy.
Otto Cass, business manager of the
District relief division, revealed today
the average consumption by relief
clients during September and October
was 67842 quarts, the total for the
two months being 135, ,693.
Consumption Slashed.
A check of November consumption,
however, showed the total fell off to
AZ ,327 quarts. The price to relief
families in September and october was
II cents and this was cut to cents
in November.
Cass reported that the consumption
Is increasing again, but precise figures
were not available. He said the warm
weather in September and October
may have encouraged a higher con-
sumption than in November, since
milk may have been used as refresh
ment in the warmer weather.
At first, relief officials attempted to
persuade relief clients to buy more
milk out of the budget allowances, to
improve their state of health. That
failed and during the past month
orders were issued to relief workers to
deduct sums for milk and the relief
families were given acquisitions. This
was done to assure greater milk con-
sumption.
Increase Was Urged.
This practice was followed only in
the cases where officials decided the
families needed more milk, especially
in those having children. CaSs esti-
mated that the average milk order per
day for a relief family of three persons
was a quart and a pint. This is be-
low the standards set by health ex-
perts.
The subject came to light again in
remark dropped yesterday by Com
missioner Allen to the effect that he
still was giving serious consideration
to proposal that Congress place the
milk industry under control as q
public utility.

.D|ONNE'S DOCTOR
SEES ROOSEVELT
Friends Reveal DR.. Dafoe
Received S25 as Fee in
QuintupIe Birth.

DR.. A. r. Dafoe, the modest, mild
hammered physician from the Canadian
north woods who had world renown
thrust upon him six months ago when,
for the first time in history, he de-
livered and kept alive the quintuplet
\ daughters of French Canadian
farmer, came to Washington today,
was received by President Roosevelt
and saw the sights of the city as a
hurried incident in his hard-earned
vacation.
Coming from New York by air, his
first plane ride, the doctor was taken
| directly to the Canadian Legation
where, in the absence of the Minister,
William D. Herridge, he was the guest
OF Mrs. Herridge. His visit entailed a
little professional advice when, after
meeting 6-month-old William Her
! ridge, the Minister'S son, he protested
successfully against posing with the
baby for photographs because of the
| effect on the child'S nerves.
DR.. Dafoe left his practice at the
little town of Calendar, Ontario only
| after he assured himself that the
Dionne quintuplets-now six months
old, but actually. he says, only four
months old, because they came into
the world two months ahead of time
have passed the critical stage and now
have about the same chances of life
with good care as any five normal
babies.
Its the good air up there" he ex-
! planned. That's the place for quin-
| tuplets."
They are an expensive family, by
the way. 1t now is costing approxi-
mately $500 month to care for the
flxe little girls and money has been
coming in from many sources to the
guardians appointed, with the parents
consent. by the Canadian government
| to see that the children get the best
! possible care and that they are not
exploited
The delivery and keeping alive of
| the babies, considered one of the most
astonishing feats in medical history,
brought DR.. Dafoe, members of his
party said, a total fee of s25, paid by
| the government. His original bill,
| made out for the Dionne family, was
SIS.
The doctor, with a sparsely popu-
lated, forested territory of 400 square
miles to attend to, gets a total income
| of about $100 a month, out of which
he must pay for medicines. About 80
per cent of the population is on relief
| and he gets stated fee from the
government for medical services, but
the total for the month must not
| exceed $100. Practice among families
not on relief is extra, but there are
| very few of these. At the time the
children were born the Dionnes were
|, not on public relief, so ordinarily the
| fee would have come from them.
He now is in the United States as
| the guest Of drug house.
After meeting President Roosevelt
and dining at the Mayflower Hotel as
guest of the manager, R. L. Polio,
DR.. Dafoe was to take the 800 plane
for Baltimore, where he will visit Drs.
Edmund Kelly and Thomas Cullen
at Johns Hopkins University. DR..
Kelly and his father, DR.. Howard
Kelly, were the Baltimore doctors
called to Canada last Summer to give
the babies special treatment.

Phone Book Title of ''Hon.''
Stirs Precedence Discussion

The new telephone directory has in.
troduced to Washington another of its
favorite pastimes-a discussion Of
precedence.
Examination of the listings shows
the title Hon" is bestowed on q
sprinkling of the great and near great
although the telephone company dis
claims any intention Of setting itself
up as social arbiter.
Thus six justices of the Supreme
Court have the title, but Justices

not. Two members of the cabinet, Sec
retaries Dern and Swanson, have it.
while the three others who are listed
Secretaries Roper, Cummings and
