| Doctor Makes Charge About Executed Men; Prosecutor to Reply

Boston, Oct. 25.-(UP).-Districi Attorney Edmund R. Dewing of Norfolk county promised a state ment today in reply to the charge that the Faber-M -Millen trio of killer bandits were sent to the electric cf >ir for political reasons.
 Dr. L. Vernon Briggs, eminent state psychiatrist after whom the Briggs law is named, told the New England Society of Psychiatry al Medfeld yesterday that the killer bandits should have been convicted of second degree murder as insane or of border-line mentality.
 Abraham Faber, college graduate and Irving and Murton Millen were ectrocnted last June for the ma chine-gun killing of two Needham patrolmen during a bank raid.
 pr. Briggs said he interviewed m, / than 50 psychiatrists and re- ported their findings to Superior Judge Nelson P. Brown, who pre- sided at the murder trial. The specialists, according to Dr. Briggs favored direct verdict of secohd-de- gree murder, carrying mandatory sentences of life Imprisonment.

 His portly figure gleaming vi.h European medals, which one would be more likely to see at the Elysee Palace in Paris where he was once received as his country's minister Getacho vociferously pledged him. self to fight valiantly for his ern- peror. His tarbaric cavalrymen pranced and shouted on every side as he spoke in the hyperbolic language of the primitive fighting man.
 Striding like a conqueror to the steps of the royal palace, Getacho, who was born the year his father helped slaughter 5000 Italians at Aduwa, shouted:
 Time Has Come
 "The time has come for me to live up to my fathers reputation" "
 As his warriors rushed toward the palace steps, forcing the ernperors bouncers to use football tactics to keep them in hand, Getacho bel lowed above the surrounding beds lam:
 we know these Italians and how they fight. am the son of one who piled dead Italians on the heights of Aduwa as high as mountains. l myself have fought in ten wars.
 How is that man in Rome, who has never done anything in his life except write words on paper, going to take our country away from us? I onced dragged seven Italians be- fore my emperor. will drag seven times seven before you"
 Getacho was followed by Dedjaz- match Habte Marian of Wallege at the head of another feudal army and a complete homemade Red Cross unit, including fifteen nurses ranging from 12 to IA years in age, 200 bearers of crude stretchers, four mounted priests and five deacons.
 Many of Mariam's men carried wooden guns, crudely carved. They demanded Mauswers, throwing themselves on the ground as they pleaded for them and refusing to arise again until they were dragged to their feet.

MUSIC IS NOW HIT
/. BY STREAML|N|NG
Conductor of N. B. c. Pro-
qram FavorS Less Clumsy
instruments.

THE modern urge for streamlining
is now due for a chance in the
musical instrument factories,
L according to Lenie Hayton,
conductor of the Hit Parade" on
N. B. c.
Hayton is sponsoring movement to
modernize musical instruments in an
effort to reduce their clumSineSs with
out detracting from their tone value.
The first step in this direction, Hay
ton believes, is the streamlined cello
developed by DR.. Herman Fischer,
noted accoustical authority. In the
new type of Woloncello the large
clumsy sound box has been replaced
by a modern resonator scarcely larger
than a small cigar box and one string
has been applied to do the same duties
which required four previously.
Hayton declared experts agree that
the streamhned cello has tone value
which compares favorably with the
cumbersome affair now commonly
used. He said that after tests are
completed he may use the instrument
in The Hit Parade" programs.
