(Continued from Page 1b

You think you know so much about Harry Wright's death. l saw him five minutes before he got killed. He died five minutes after he left here (the road house). And he wasn't killed where he was found."
 The state contends Wright was murdered on Crumhorn mountain and that his body was thrown in a ditch on the highway near the Coo roadhouSe to give the appearance he was the victim of a hit-and-run driver. so Little Eva" could col- feet $9,S02 in insurance which she held on her handyman's life.
 Hautily, Miss Hanover told the court that. on the night following Wrights death, she heard Nabinger tell Mrs Coo;
 If l get killed with car you won't have to hire somebody to kill me
 Auto for Dumping Harry
 Previously, Mrs Martha Gift, confessed accomplice who turned states star witness to save her own life, had testified Mrs Coo promised her a $200 second hand automobile if she would "bump Harry" With all the swagger and confi- dence of q seasoned actress. Miss Hanover told the jury of 12 farm CTS her story.
 She testified that on the night following Wright's death, she drove to Little Eva's" place and on the way up the highway. saw Nabinger swaying from side to side of the road.
 "He was in the middle of the road sometimes and then on the side. When l got to Eva's l told her about him. We went after Harry Nabinger. We tried to get him in the car, but he said he wasn't going back to Eva's. She cussed him and said he would get killed by car, being SO drunk. Then Harry said: If l get hit with a car, you won't have to hire some body to Kill me"
 i From the stand, the Hanover i girl related that she went to Mrs Coos house the night Wright met his death.
 A-She (Mrs Coo) said: ''I guess something must have happened to Wright I'm going to call a troop CT"
 C-Did she call a trooper?
 A-Yes. She telephoned trooper Caldwell and said: Have you had a report of any man being run over by an automobile and taken to a hospital?" He must have said No because Eva said well, Har- ry Wright has been gone a long time and We cant find him and l wish you'd go look for him." The Hanover girl then testified that the trooper came to the road house later and told Mrs Coo he had found Harry and that he had been run over.
 Q-What did Eva Coo say?' A-She said: My God. Is he hurt bad? ?" trooper Caldwell said: Hurt bad? Why, he's stone dead. v Q-What did Eva Co do? A-She went over and looked in mirror and said: My God. | that's awful

TEXTILE PEOPLE
 TO GET RELIEF

(Continued from Page 1.D fore the walkout date. The union has been reported concerned over funds to press the fight, having d comparatively small war chest for long struggle.
 Googe is southern representative of the American Federation of La bor.
 q have been asked on numerous occasions if the textile workers would expect the relief administra- tion to furnish relief for families on strike" Googe said.
 Policy of Relief Board
 My answer to that question is that it has been the policy of the relief administration to supply food in accordance with necessity and want, making no distinction be- tween strikers families except where the department of labor has declared a strike unjustified.
 q see no reason for the depart ment of labor to declare the textile strike unjustified or the federal re- lief administration to change it's past and present policy in the case of the textile workers"
 The union is reported to have less than million dollars to fi- nance the walkout. Strike relief would thus be left up to the local unions, many of which, however, have little money on hand.
 The personal funds of the work CTS probably will not last long if the strike is of any duration and the workers likely would appeal to the EZRA.
 While the A. F. of l.. does not, in any strike situation, under its laws. finance relief, it is the policy of the international unions in- volved to handle all finances and relief in strike situations" Googe

 Dramatic Setting
 CooperstoWn, N. Y., Aug. 27- (UP)-The drama now playing the little red-brick Oswego county courthouse is so perfect it might have been created by a master playwright. For two weeks it has been growing in intensity daily. No matter how 1t ends, it will be one of those sensational trials re- membered and talked about for years.
 Big and blonde, Eva Coo, a "she done him wrong type known to the countryised as Little Eva,' is the chief interest of gaping specta- tors who are of the rustic just folks" variety. She sits silent at counsel table, her steel blue eyes narrowed. The stare becomes a piercing glare when the witnesses happen to be her pals" giving evidence that may send her to the electric chair, to save themselves.
 On the bench sits Supreme Court Justice Riley H. Heath, immaculate in blue serge. and non chalant to the point of boredom. When the testimony gets dull he plays merry y-go-round" on his swivel chair. Defense Attorney James J. Byard is big and Leonine and his gray hair constantly falls over his eyes. Prosecutor Donald II. Grant talks with machine gun speed.
 These characters are so real, that even a casting director would have chosen them.
 The jurors seem an animated excerpt from the family album All have fresh furrow sod cllnG- ing to their heels.
 All Have Thespian Air.
 The witnesses all partake of this thespian air. Mrs Martha Cliif Little Eva's" Buddy. peers coldly through her horn trimmed glasses and says she helped kill handy man Wright. but Eva duped her into it. She doesn't seem to mind pushing her along toward the Sing Sing deathhouse. The state plans to award her by permitting her to plead guilty to second de- gree murder.
 Then there are the girls at Little Eva's roadhouse, profess sional entertainers or "hostesses for rustic pleasure seekers. Little Eva befriended them all, once, and they're repaying her-by testify ing for the state. Even her lover, sleek -haired Harry NabinGer, Sar- toritally perfect, the kiss and telp' travelling salesman type, gives daming testimony.
 Apple-cheeked, wh t e -haired Clara Meyers, 60 year old simper- ing spinster came in her best Sunday dress - black creation. One of Eva's two alibi witnesses that went wrong, she giggles as she put hr notorious neighbor lon the spot"
 Arthur Stanley, his weather beaten face set off by his crudely groomed white hair. smiles when the prosecuting attorney asks his occupation. In his best cockney. Se replies: calls myself i>onu- mental letIerer, carver and sculptor"
 And the women in the audience sit knitting.

SCARLET FEVER
 DEATHS DECREASE
Rate Last Year Was l.4; Disease Is Now
 Milder

Remarkable reduction in the death rate for scarlet fever has been achieved in Connecticut since 1875, the earliest year for which creditable records are available, according to an article by William c. Yelling, director of the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the State De- partment of Health, which appears in the departments monthly bull letin published today.
 In 1875, the death rate for scarlet fever was 31.5 deaths per 100000 population and in 1882 it reached it's peak at 54.4 deatts per 100000. Since then the i'm provement has been steady until the record low of 0.7 deaths per 100000 was reached in 1881. Last year the rate was 1.4.
 Probabl- due to decreased viru- 1ence of it's germs, scarlet fever, Mir Yelling writes, now occurs in a much milder form than previous 1y and although about the same number of cases continue to occur the fatalities have greatly dimin- ished.
 Scarlet fever is a disease of the temperate zone, being rare in the tropics and dying out quickly at- ter introduction It shows a definite seasonal variation, usually swing ing upward in January and Feb ruary to reach its peak in March. There are, however, occasional dramatic outbursts at the end of the seasonal term. The disease is not as readily communicable as most of the common infectious diseases. Infected milk or ice cream may spread it. One attack confers immunity. in general, and both susceptibility and immunity appear to be family traits.
 While mortality from scarlet fever has been low in Connecticut for many years, there is real dan ger from the complications which may take place, such as otitis, ne-- phritis, arthritis, heart lesions and broncho pneumonia. To avoid these, three weks' absolute bed rest is needed.
