(Continued from Page 1.) long, shuddering intake of breath, he was dead.
 Voigemast was day laborer, aged 24. He was convicted of assaulting. raping and murdering 4O-year old teacher, Hilja Zoege.
 Only once before has the "hem- lock cup" test been offered to a condemned man under Esthonias new criminal code, which was en- dorsed by presidential decree on February l, 1925. In that case, Johannes Nestra, who murdered his mother, was proffered the cup but refused 1t. He was hanged. Voigemast, before choosing the deadly poison, consulted authori- ties frequently and repeatedly asked expert medical advice from the faculty of Dorpat university. Choice of Poisons
 Choice of poisons has been one of the most controversial subjects under the execution law. Use of lethal gas chamber first was sug- gested. Injection of poison next was suggested but both methods were deemed infeasible since the law specifically states the condemned may voluntarily take the poison cup. In order to insure the con- demned against escaping death the statute provides that if the poison Is ineffective within five minutes, the prisoner will be hanged. To the end Voigemast hoped for presidential pardon on the plea that he committed the crime while drunk. He also pointed out that the verdict may have been influ- enced by a predominance of wom- en in the trial audience who in- tently followed a description of the crime.
 Back to Ancient History In its strange criminal law, Els thonia has revived a mode of exc cution which dates back into an- cient history
 The outstanding historical inci- dent of It's use was in the case of Socrates, the great Athenian philos- opher, who was executed in 399 B. c. at the age of 70.
 Socrates was accused of political crimes and convicted by the elders. They would have mitigated the sen tence, but he proudly refused and insisted on drinking the hemlock cup.
 Hemlock is derived from a poisonous weed which produces a powerful narcotic. It's effects are much less rapid than the modern chemical development of potassium cyanide, prussic acid and other ] poisons in the same group.

NORWALK MEN
 ARE SUICIDES

Norwalk. Aug 21-(UP)-Wor- ry over failing health was believed today to have caused Joseph Ro- senfield, 45, and Frank Cenzone, 60, to end their lives by poison and gas. Rosenfeld's body was found behind the wheel of his au- tomoblle in a closed garage. He died from inhaling carbon mon oxide fumes shortly after arrival at a hospital.
 Two men found the body of Cenzone in a coal yard. He had swallowed poison. Relatives said he had refused to go to hos- pital for treatment of stomach

 Sen. Ernest W. Gibson, R., Vt., said: "You utility men are easy marks for this high priced lawyer racket"
 Then Black produced a copy of a letter which he said was sent to Cities Service stockholders.
 "This is something I have never seen before" Winans said. If this was sent out by our company, we would be the first to acknowledge it."
 "There is no question that the letter came from a Cities Service company in Missouri, and we can prove 1t" Black said, ordering Win ans to read the letter for the rec ord.
 Letter Was Read
 Addressed to each Cities Service employe, 1t said the bill was in- tended ito destroy the business from which we draw our liveli- hood" and that each employe should get "at least 10 persons" 70 write their congressman and sena- tors, protesting the bill.
 The mimeographed statement told the employees not to use com pany stationery. It gave examples of letters to be sent to Washing ton, but suggested that original letters would be better"
 Statement Not True
 Black forced Winans to read three times one sentence of the let ter which said, Ut (the Wheeler Rayburn bill) will ruin every in- vestment in public utility securi. ties"
 Nov, Mir. Winans. you know that statement Is not true, don't you? asked Black.
 "Well, 1t is too broad a state- ment," said Winans.
 "You mean it's not true" said Black.
 Well. It's too broad. The bill could not ruin every utilities invest mcnt."
 The statement read by Winans suggested letters to be sent to con. gregsmen. The letters variously de- scribed the utilities bill as "perni- cious" and "vicious."
 Winans said "a MT. Hugh Davis whose business lis to sell oil, di- rected the campaign against the bill.
 "He travelled around to the va rious company properties and held meetings, Winans said. He added that he did not believe Davis had any letters in connection with the bill.
 eve pay him $500 month, said Winans, but he went back to oil selling about month ago."
 Winans said the gross income of all subsidiaries in 1884 amounted to $173,000, 900 and that they paid to the Cities Service company about $2.00O,0O0 in management and en- gineering fees.
 He said the company had asked John W. Ravis to write an opinion on constitutionality of the untilities bill.
 @Did he find it unconstitutional? ?" Black asked.
 .He did"
 Black asked whether the top hold ing company ever had loaned sub- salaries money at 6 per cent in- terest. which they paid back to the holding company in the form of dividends.
 aThat may have happened" Wi mans said.
 D0herty I'm Control
 He testified that Doherty con- trolled the whole system through a 30 per cent stock ownership in Cities Service.
 "Mr. Doherty received no salary last year" he said. ''The other of- fcers got about s100.000 in salar- les."
 Black asked him whether 1t was true that Doherty paid s1 share for stock and received the ''same voting power as somebody out In California, say. who paid sl00 a share"

Let's follow today's hand, played
in a recent duplicate match.
If South held five spades and
four diamonds, naturally the spades
should be bid first. Over the one
diamond, North's overcau of one
spade is a one-over- force.
South's jump to three spades is a
force. Norths bid of three no trump
is correct. This definitely tells his
partner that his spade is only four
cards.
last opens the king of clubs and
Il West plays the deuce. When a
partner plays a deuce on your ace
king combination, he says he is not
interested in that suit, unless it is
a singleton, which in most cases you
can read, due to your length.
But when you have a short suit,
as is the case today, West definitely
wants you to lead another suit. Now
a trump lead can be eliminated. To
lead a diamond would be playing
right into the declarer's hand, as it
would help him to estab lish his long
side suit.
Therefore. it is not hard to reason
what lead West wants; so the three
of hearts is played and won with the
ace in dummy. West plays the en-
courgaing seven.
Three rounds of trump are now
taken and it is immaterial in which
hand you want the third trump. The
important part is that you are hop
ing for a 80 split in diamonds and
you would like to find the hand with
the two diamonds holding the queen.
So, to make your contract, you
have 10 play out your ace and king
of diamonds, and in doing this the
six of diamonds becomes a very i'm
portant card
If the six is played on the first
diamond trick, only four odd will be
made. While if the jack and nine
are played on the ace and king of
diamonds, the declarer will have the
needed entry into dummy upon
which to discard the two small
hearts, and five odd can be made.

company which I did. Before the
summer ended I spent many eve
nings with him at the park.
I fell in love with him. He is one
of the finest, the sweetest, but one
of the most stubborn boys who ever
lived. When school started and
cold weather set in we couldn't go
to the park and I have seen him
very few times. I had four dates
with him. He never asked for any
of them. My girl friends told him
to come by as I wanted to see him.
The boys ask him to come up, but
he has refused so many times that
his excuses got to be a joke. Yet
when he is with me he acts so
sweet.
I don't feel that this is puppy
love, even though 1 am in my teens.
I've shed more tears in the last
three months than in all my life.
I love him enough to die for him
and the suspense of waiting and
waiting and waiting is driving me
insane. I don't want to eat, drink
or sleep. My health is not very good
any more. Mother thinks it's be-
cause I'm out in the cold too much.
just couldn't tell her how things
are. know 1 seem cheap and COM
mon having kids trying to fix dates
for me, but what can ! do? Please
help me. DESPERATE.
AnSWer-There are few things
more poignant than the pains
that attend the first diSappoint-
ment in love, but almost every one
has had them at one time or an
other and lived to laugh and love
again. This won't comfort you
now, but it's true none the less.
Perhaps your mistake with the
boy lay in TIE fact that you were
too intense. Your very sincerity
frightened him away, for he real
lied there was no depth to his
affection and he didn't want to
be involved with a possessive
sweetheart. When exposed to
temptation he enjoyed caressing
you well enough, but he would
have enjoyed caresSing any other
pretty girl just as much.
With you it was different. He
was the only boy you cared for,
the only one you wished to kiss.
Young as you are, the urge for
permanence was already upon you
and it frightened him for he had
other plans for himself which did
not include you. What else could
he do but withdraw from the vine
which had begun to cling?
Had you been more merry, more
casual, more Indifferent to his
indifference, he might not have
felt warned by your attitude. Or
if you had been less obviously in
love he might have been stirred.
even against his will, to give
chase. AS things were, you were

which he did not invita- situa-

his taste.
