(Onlten frCSS Sl0u OOFFeSpOnUent)
 Chicago, Nov 1-(UP)-Samuel Insult, once known as a stern ruler in the industrial world, wept on the witness stand in federal court today when he told how he was brought to the United States, a poor English immigrant boy, by the late Thomas Edison.
 Tears rolled down his cheeks and his high pitched voice broke as he described how he had been befriended by the great inventor whom he "worshipped like a god."
 It was Edison who brought young Insult to the United States in February, 1881, and started him on the road to wealth and power.
 His hands fumbled a brown pa- per portfolio in his lap as he told of Edison's first wife and her kind ness to him.
 "I'm sorry; I can't help it." In- sull said, turning to the jury and Judge James H. Wilkerson as his voice broke.
 His story of his friendship with Thomas Edison was in preface to his claim that he never deliberate ly swindled thousands of investors

Burglars LOOted Store Of TailOr==TWO Crimes For
 Halloween Niglif

Two major crimes, one the holdup of a Connecticut Company bus at the end of South Leonard street and the second a bold East Main street tailor shop burglary which netted $500 worth of clothes, engaged the attention of detectives to-day as the after- math of Halloween.
 Clarence Anderson, who was also the driver of a bus held up on upper Hill street a few months ago, was confronted by a masked young bandit, armed with nickel plated gun, at the end of his run. on lower South Leonard street, at 10 o'clock last night. The bandit took about $3.50 from the coin box and still wearing his mask, fled. Aided by the fact that masked were numerous in the Brooklyn section, the holdup man made a safe escape.
 The tailor shop of Samuel Shna- croft, POS East Main street, wa2 entered by burglars who bored & large hole through the plaster and wooden wall and footed the place of 30 suits valued at more thnu $500.
 Detectives on Trail
 Detectives Connie Shanahan and Bill Foley found that the thiev&S had entered from Brown street and then made their way to an empty tenement above the Shnae- rolf tailor shop. They fc I'd open the back door, got into the front hallway, and there made large hole in the wall by means of bit and brace, and a larEe hunting knife, which they abaS,- doned.

 Prince Dislikes Divorce.
 It was explained the Prince does not want a divorce but may seek the Pope's annuiment of his mar riage if he finds necessary techni- cal reasons. An annulment would not oblige him to pay alimony from his slim income of 2,0OO Swiss francs ($650) month.
 Alfonso, who originally opposed the marriage, now opposes a di- vorce and may oppose an annul- ment. The Princes condition has become worse and he is unable to walk because of a return of his hereditary blood disease, haemo- philia. He may be taken to Swift zerland as soon as he can travel.
