COLD WAVE IS DUE
TONIGHT, IS WARNING
Mercury May Drop to 10, Is
Indication.

On the heels of a period of un-
seaSonably warn weather, the city
was to be gripped by a cold wave to-
night, the weather bureau an
nounced.
Yesterday the thermometer
reached 46. At 9 a. n. today the
temperature was 38.
John H. Arlington, Federal
meteorologist. explained the new
cold spell that may take tempera-
ture as low as 10 to Is above zero to-
night, as being the high pressure
area, born in the extreme Northwest,
that showed the warm wave of today
and yesterday down to this area.
The warm, or low pressure area,
has passed the city by, and the city
now is due for a compensating re-
verse of the thermometer.
Temperatures should rise late to-
morrow, Mr. Arlington said.

The voice of Mr.. Wilentz, sends
the accusation cracking through
the courtroom like a shot.
Mrs. L~indbergh's chin rises a bit.
then droops.
Now Mr.. Wilentz describes in
graphic detail the pittiful body, de-
composing in the shallow grave
near the Lindbergh home in the
Sourland Mountains.
The little hand, the tiny leg
eaten away by the creatures of
the woods. A lovely golden-haired
baby boy who played so happily in
the sunshine on The fateful day,
the only son of a mother whose
gallantry is the pride of a nation.
. a father whose heroiom is a world
tradition. that small mite so pre-
cious to its parents, found at last,
returning to the earth.
A NNE LINDBERGH's head is
"A very low now. She hides dim
eyes.
When Wilentz finishes his bis
tering address to the jury, Col.
Lindbergh, who has been sitting
tense and erect, relaxes in his
chair. His blond boyishness is
more suggestive of the campus
than of the intrepid pathfinder,
the adventurer in unpathed places,
the father of sorrow.
At the noon recess Mrs. Lind
bergh leaves with her husband.
The two of them pass 80 close to
Mrs. Hauptmann that she must
draw back her feet to allow them
to pass. She peers after them as
they disappear through the door.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-01-03

Mrs. Lindbergh's arrival brings
a craning of necks.
Four rows back of Mrs. Lind
bergh is Mrs. Hauptmann, a pale
blond. She watches Mrs. Lind
bergh's entrance with keen inter-
est. But when the slender form
of the colonel's wife sinks into a
chair, she becomes buried in the
mass of spectators, and neither
woman can see the other.
The colonel acknowledges his
wife's presence with a nod. Haupt-
mann looks up with some interest
at the disturbance, and then
quickly lets his gaze drop to the
floor.
Mrs. Lindbergh is in black with
trimmings of blue fox. A small
black satin turban hugs her dark
head.
She sits with hands clasped IN
her lap. Small graceful hands
they are, hands that fall, natur-
ally, into a pose for an artist.
Her eyes travel across the en-
closure before the judges bench
to where her husband sits behind
the prosecutors table.
A feeting smile of understand
ing, of encouragement, passes be-
tween them.
MRS. LINDBERGH listens at
Iva t~entively to the questioning of
talesmen for the jury. At men
ton of capital punishment, her
slender hands twist in her lap and
then resume their graceful repose.
If she is aware of the proximity
of that other mother who feels on
her shoulders the worlds op-
probrium, not the worlds praise,
she gives no sign.
Atty. Gen. David T. Will
entz has begun his address to
the jury. He describes the das-
tardly crime, the kidnapping of
Baby Lindbergh. The thief who
came in the dark night intent on a
dark deed. The stealing of the
child, the flight, the deliberate
murder from a blow which caused
a fracture such as only the hand
of fear and of greed could visit
upon its victim.
A flush mounts the pale face of
Anne Lindbergh.
In her lap her hands open and
close spasmodica1Iy, then clasp
tightly. One hand circles her
wrist. The flush on her cheeks
and her brow draws away, leaving
a strange, luminous pallor such as
suffering draws over the face of
humans. Her head droops ever
so slightly. Her eyes. too. are
cast down. One expects them to
close in an instructive effort to
shut out the prosecutors soaring
picture.
MRS. HAUPTMANN listens to
1F1 the scathing arraignment
which paints in sweeping lines
and colors without compromise.
the murder picture of her hus-
band. She is unmoved. You
might say she is only mildly in
terested. But Hauptmann's arms
are folded so tightly across his
chest that his shoulders look as
though they might burst through
his coat.
And Indy who could find a
speck at the end of the world
could not find his child because
HauptmanIa had murdered him."

sist in their practices. They knew that many accidents, fatal and minor alike, can be attributed to cars in faulty me chanical condition-yet they continue driving many an ''old heap" when its horn is silent, it's lights are either glaring or inadequate, it's steering shimmies, and its brakes are about as valuable a stop ping device, as the accelerator.
 Result: An annual death toll that hov- CTS around the 35,000 mark.
 Only the most stringent methods can hope to handle the lunatic fringe. Mod ern traffic laws, rigidly enforced not only by the traffic patrol but by the enthusi- astic cooperation of the sane and careful drivers (the 90 per cent) are vital. The one way to hammer some sense into the lunatic fringe is to treat them as the pub lie enemies they are.

The Lunatic Fringe

'There is lunatic fringe of drivers who create hazards, for themselves and everyone else, as they rush on their heed less way" said an article in the Ladies' Home Journal for July, 1885. "They are { the to 10 per cent of drivers who are responsible for 90 per cent of all acci- dentS."
 This slunatic fringe" has so far shown itself to be 100 per cent deaf to the most elementary principles of reason. Its members know that excessive speed is the most prolific of all causes of serious accidents, and that collision that would be unimportant at 20 miles an hour will probably prove fatal at sixty-yet they continue to push the throttle through the foorboards. They know that passing on hills and curves is an invitation to the coroner-yet so important does time seem,to them that they are perfectly will ing to risk their neckS and the necks of other drivers to save few usually llnim- portant minutes They know that weav- ing in and out of traffic, driving on the wrong aide of the road and similay stupid practices, may mean sudden death in one of its most horrible forms yet they per

The hunting season for upland birds and waterfowl opened Monday. Condi- tions in the early week, however, because of the danger from forest fires, were not particularly favorable. Rain since may have improved conditions for the man who likes to go out with gun. In this state 2,000 were checked on the first open hunting day.. Duck shooting is better, for the time being, than the upland bird sport The roaring of guns is prevalent in other states as well as Connecticut, 29 much concerned with duck shooting. Among this years taboos as to ducks are live decoys, not more than ten ducks a day, and just in case you're interested and know waterfowl lingo, sink boxes, sneak boats and open-water shooting are anathema.

City Airport Debatable

Were it not for the fact that there are those who think Waterbury, as was pointed out so often by republican party leaders, candidates and supporting papers in the recent city election cam paign, is already too highly taxed to consider acquiring municipal air field, we would be inclined to recommend that the project at least be surveyed as to cost, maintenance and convenience
 There is no doubt but what the trend of modern times is airward and that at some future date no city of even Water bury's size will be complete without an airport. Furthermore, it costs money and as we said above, it takes taxes to raise money.
 However, there are those, and election results show their numbers were con- siderable, who will tell you that Water bury is overtaxed now for what it gets. Yet some of these same objectors are noticeably out in front for a municipal airport.
 So, as we set out to say, although we favor anything in the line of advance ment, we would hesitate to lend our endorsement to anything in the way of additional expense, which in years to come might be termed extravaganza for the sake of political propaganda.
 Under the present conditions while Waterbury's government is, so to speak, on the spot for every dollar it spends, a strict adherence to economy even in the face of progress, might be the better line of procedure. Of course, if the public is interested and willing to pay the freight, we do not think the city fathers would stand in it's way of the omplishment. But they first should be shown in terms of approval rather than opposition.

The architectural world is all agog over the arrival in this country of Charles Edouard Le Corbusier, modern French architect, who has come to tell us some thing about building and modern city plans. Already he has stated that our skyscrapers are not large enough and too close together. His rule of proper city building is more room for sunlight and trees. Le Corbusier will come to Connec- ticut to demonstrate his ideas visiting two of our colleges.

She and her husband were asso- ciated with the Village Press, and Mrs. Goudy set all the type for books issued by this concern. She had a record of two galleys without single error, good clean proof of her ability in type setting Mrs. Goudy's early ambition, strange to say, was to become professional organ ist.

By BRUCE CATION

Lou Little, famous coach of the Columbia University football team, has written a timely and entertain- ing book entitled, How to Watch Football';; and Jimmy Donahue, sports writer, who knows about such things, gives me the follow ing review:
 Little (writes Donahue) describes in minute detail the inner work jngs of @ modern college football team; how psychology plays an irn- portant part in the handling of players; how little factors like choosing goals at the coin flip be- fore 8 game influence the eventual outcome; why players wear differ- ent cleats on their shoes on differ ent types of fields; how college bands and cheering sections stir players up to emotional heights: and how college scouting of oppo- nents is done.
 But most important, Little tells the average fan how to watch the game to get the most out of 1t. He explains line play in detail. and di- vulges how the hard-working for ward wall paves the way for the ball toters. There is a chapter or the forward pass that is exception ally interesting.
 The various formation on offenss are discussed and explained, anC those tricky laterals that are be. looming all the vogue are turned inside out.
 The book is published by Nc Grath-Hill.

Following the implications of the U. s. Supreme Court decision, Tom Mooney is making his latest bid for legal exoneration. His case is be- lieved by millions to be the Ameri- can counterpart of the historical Dreyfus case of France, and for years persons who have impartially studied it have declared him inno- cent.
 Mooney was arrested 19 years ago for the alleged bombing of the San Francisco preparedness para de. Mooney says a corrupt district at- torney using perjured testimony of carefully coached witnesses caused his conviction. He was then sen- fenced to death. Almost immediate ly the states case began to col- lapse. Perjurers confessed; new evidence was discovered; and facts hidden by the district attorney were revealed. Because of aroused public indignation, President Wood row Wilson wrote the governor of California, and Mooney's sentence was commuted to life imprison- ment.
 Because of inaction and indiffer- ence of the governors and the courts of California for nearly two decades, Mooney in desperation last year appeale for help to the U. s. Supreme Court. Chief Justice Hughes in the opinion handed down last January said Mooney had not exhausted his legal resources in California. He implied that when th.s was done the U. s. Supreme Court could then render decision as to whether Mooney had not been unjustly deprived of his liberty for these 19 years.
 Since January Moneys attor- neys have appealed to the superior court of Marin county and the dis trict court of appeals. Both courts have been unwilling to break the precedent set by the original trial court, and they have ruled that evidence or no evidence, Mooney is ia prison and must remain there
 Since early in June, this cause celebre has been before the Califor- mia state supreme court which has seemingly followed a policy o1 procrastination. The hearings re. semble comedy of errors. The seven supreme court judges are toe busy to listen to the case, so they appointed a "referee"-who is nc more than glorified notary pub. lie. The hearings which might have been completed in a short time are

LENGE TO CALIFORNIA JUSTICE

dragging out into the months. Ev- cry time a decision is required the court is adjourned while the point is presented to the, absentee judges.
 Anything EXCEPT justice seems to be the approved course in deal- ing with MT. Mooney" observes a group of nationally known leaders of the Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish churches. They are the lat- est to join in the demand of arous- ed millions that Mooney be given justice. They have formed the In- ter Religious Committee for Justice for Thomas J. Mooney, and have published 8 carefully written 64 page pamphlet, Our American Dreyfus Case: A Challenge to Cali fornia Justice" This pamphlet con- tains documentary and historical material such as excerpts from three federal reports, statements by Mooney's trial judge, and the re- markable dissenting opinion of Justice Langdon.
 The substance of their conclusion IS that the governor or Can1ornla should pardon Mooney and thus ad- nit the states injustice in holding an innocent man in jail for nearly twod ecades. The governor should do this rather than allow this trav- esty to drag on endlessly through the courts who are using 1t as if it were a legal football. The religious leaders are challenging ofilcialdom of California. Their keynote is: Profession of beief in 8 God o1 Justice is an idle thing if we dc not do our utmost to insure justice for Mooney"
 NOTE-The committee will send the pamphlet free upon request by addressing them at F. O. Box 894 Hollywood Station, Los Angeles California.
