COURT CROWDS
|. HISS SEX KILLER
Angry Spectators Boo as
Thompson Is Called
Insane Man.

~ NFfH EICSS
PEORIA, Ill. July 30.-Angry
spectators who rioted for admission
to the courtroom Missed and booed
defense witnesses today as they
testified that Gerald Thompson,
confessed sex slayer of Mildred
Hallmark, is insane.
The pasty-faced youth, who kept a
diary with eXultant notations of his
conquests over girls, is relying upon
evidence that he is a sexual mon
omaniac to save him from the cleo
trio chair.
An irresistible urge" inherited
from his father drove Thompson TO

torney, Rem Thurman claims.
Many in the threatening crowd of
spectators were women, stout ma
irons and giggling girls, who defied
bailiff's calls for order as three ac-
quaintances Of Thompson called him
insane.
Sam Sprinkle. once a fellow fac
tory worker of Thompson, reused the
crowds anger when he said he was
convinced of the defendants in
sanity.
A crowd Of 1000, clamoring for ad-
mission to the trial, tore a door
from the courthouse. The mob,
mostly women, broke through lines
of special police reserves and surged
to the north side of the building.
Several persons were slightly in
iured in the melee. Women's dresses
we're torn and police, after dispers-
ing the rioters, picked up two bat
tered wrist watches and other arti-
cleS of iewelry.

Gov. Paul V. McNutts decision to
apply the states unsppropriated
100000 surplus toward financing
the new social security program, APP
peared today to have won the APP
proval of the indianapolis Chamber
of Commerce.
The governmental research bu-

that the Governors proposal would
result in reduced tax obligations
next year if the money is used to
finance old-age pensions and pro-

The busy bee yegg team, proba

twentieth victory in indianapolis
early today and scored s63 in cash

old coins, all taken from a battered

Ralph has two ambitions in life;
one to become an expert golfer and
the other to teach women the
proper couture for the golf course.
To realize the first, he uses mis-
Sundays and Mondays, the only
days he is not busy giving perma
ment waves and fashionable bobs,
to practicing golf.
Long Bobs Draw Criticism
The second has become almost an
obsession with Ralph, who never
fails to observe the appearance of
the women golfers on the course
with him.
Women who play golf should
realize that their hair should be an
expression of their interest IN
sports" Ralph said Yesterday. as

DJIBOUTI, French Somahland,
July 30.-Djbouti, gateway to Adds
Ababa and the only route to the
capital by rail from the coast, was
a deserted post under armed neu-
trality today
The French have landed guns and
are bringing up troops to preserve
its neutrality. The possibility of
unrest among the native population,
strongly sympathetic to Ethiopia,
has led France to take extraordinary
precautions against disorder.
A French naval transport in the
last few days unloaded four light
guns, barbed wire and munitions.
The small French Somaliland gsrri-
son will be reinforced by black
Senegalese troops.
1t was explained that the pre-
cautions are not directed against
any particular government, but
have been taken simply because IN
event of continued European re-
verses in East Africa, native tribes
might be given the idea of attacking
all whites.
Once Busy Port Dead
Otherwise, the formerly busy port
was dead. The sun-baked, wind
swept quays we're almost empty, the
only ship in the harbor being

was result of the European en-
barge on the shipment of arms to
Ethiopia, apparently, and the UNI
certainty over the continuance of
Ethiopia's hitherto busy trade with
Europe.
Europeans in Diibouti said they
believed that of the thousands of
Italian troops pouring into Africa,
about 20 were dying every day of
disease or the effects of the climate.
Italians were reported to admit
from six to 10 deaths day.
On the way down the Red Sea
to Djibouti, Massawa, the port of
Italian Eritrea, presented differ
ent picture. There, IS ships we're
waiting to unload troops, NUM-
lions and supplies and port facilities
were overtaXed.
10000 Troops Sent In
The speed of the Italian prepara-
lions was evident at Suez, through
which, according to high sources,
the Italians have dispatched in the
last five months 90 passenger ships,
81 freight ships, 100000 troops and
1900 civilians.
Djibouti itself has been changed
greatly. Years ago this important
French colonial port was peOpled
with bearded veterans of the serv-
ice, who sat enjoying their wines.
Today one is struck by the youth
and energy of the white men, with
white. open-necked shirts, white
shorts, bare legs and white shoes.
The French women are smartly. if
simply, dressed in white dresses and
frocks.
From the heavily stated Italian
consulate, there are frequent tele-
grams to Rome.

Death Catches Up

D OVAL OAK, Mich, July So
IN Romeo Sampson, who
laughed when lion clawed him
and lived to tell of the day he
was bitten by deadly cobra, was
the victim of the critters" he
hadn't seen for a long time.
Sampson was an animal trainer
and snake expert. He was keeper
at the Lima 90 ZOO, a member
of the Barnum g. Bailey and
Ringing Brothers circuses; an
animal trainer al the Buffalo zoo;
a connoiseur Of rare snakes at
Erie, Pa.
Three years ago q lion slashed
half-inch cuts in his arm. He
laughed and then tainted, but he
lived to condemn the animal. At
Lima, cobra bit him. He broke
a hypodermic needle trying fran
tically to administer an anti
venom serum. Then he shut off
the flow of the poison with a
tourniquet, while the serum was
transferred to another hypoder-
mic syringe. A python tried to
crush him once, but he survived.
Despite frequent use of anti
Venoms, poison seeped through his
system. That, and the repeated
loss of blood weakened him so
that he had to retire from his
profession and become a fur expert
at a cleaners establishment here.
And then it caused his death.
