zENGE DEALT
HARD BLOW
BY JUDGE
Court Restricts Use of
Hereditary Insanity
AS Defense Plea

CHICAGO, Oct. II O.N.S0.
The fate of Vaudeville w. Zenge,
accused of the shocking mutila-
tion+murder of his successful rival,
is expected to be in the hands of
the jury tomorrow night.
The Missouri farm boy, charged
with kidnapping DR.. Walter J..
Bauer, chemistry teacher, from his
Ann Arbor, Mich, hotel, forcing
him to drive to Chicago, and
somewhere en- route performing
the fatal operation, was dealt a
severe blow last night by Judge
Cornelius J. Harrington.
After a long session Judge Har-
rington restricted the elaborate
defense of hereditary insanity
planned by zenge's lawyers.
Defense Loses 8 Witnesses
In his ruling he confined any
showing of family insanity to the
immediate blood relatives of the
defendant, and as a result eight
defense witnesses were not al
lowed to testify.
This limitation Of the defense
made it appear probable Zenge's
attorneys would conclude their
fight to save their client from the
electric chair by noon today when
the State will begin rebuttal testi-
mony. Closing arguments and in
StructionS to the jury would be
given tomorrow, with the case in
the hands Of the jury by evening.
Mrs. Louise Schaffer Bauer, for
love Of whom one man is dead
and another faces execution, will
be recalled by the State, it was
learned today.
1t was the pretty Kirksville

fense has contended.

EARLY Trial

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Oct.
II. - Blue-eyed Dorothy Joan
Smith was indicted by a Prince
Georges county grand jury on a
charge of murder yesterday as
the jury completed a study of the
family quarrel that led up to the
shooting Of her policeman-huS-
band, Wade L. Smith, at Laurel

She will appear in the courtroom

shot in self-defense.
At preliminary hearings, she ad-
mitted shooting her husband,

Washington of the Tri-state mob
sters, police today had the stories
of two Takoma Park boys,
brothers. who say they have iden-
titled Bailey as the driver of the
car used in the Staying.
The boys are Kenneth and
James Windgrove, IA, and IL, re-
Spectively. They live at ITO Sligo
Avenue and were playing tag at
the corner Of Grant and Carroll
Avenues when they saw the car
with three men approaching. The
driver of the car, the boys told
police, asked for directions to the
home Of Mcdonald.
Although essential details of the
Wilson murder have been cleared
up, there yet remain a few scat
tered threads to be woven together
before Montgomery county Off
cials can present their case to a
grand jury there. Pugh explained: ::
"The investigation has not
been completed. There are still
some loose threads to be cleared
up. Consequently, there will be
no special session Of the grand
jury for the Wilson murder
case. Evidence in the possession
of police probably will be pre-
sented to the grand jury when
it meets November IL.

murder of Wilson are in custody

our hands ON them whenever
we wish"

AAA TO PROBE
INCREASE IN
BREAD PRICE
Secretary Wallace Says
Bakers Are Without
Justification

Investigation of the nation
wide rise in bread prices was
started on two fronts today.
Following charges by Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Henry A. Wal
lace that the one-cent bread price
increase was unwarranted, Don
aid E. Montgomery, consumers
counsel Of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, ordered
q thorough inquiry into the rise.
Action Is Promised
At the same time, the Consum-
erS' Division Of the National Re
covery Administration, promised
action in this sudden increase in
the price of bread, although a
definite statement Of policy was
to be made later in the day by
Director Walter H. Hamilton.
Secretary Wallace yesterday de-
clared the increase of one cent
per. loaf failed to represent an
increased cost of ingredients. He
estimated ingredients cost bakers
only half a cent at present more
than last year, while farm prices
on wheat during September showed
a decrease. He asserted:
Bakers owe some explanation
to the public for the advance in
prices at this time"
SEEK FOR AUTHORITY
The AAA inquiry is to determine
whether the department can act
to prevent such increases.
Pending an announcement of
policy from Mr.. Hamilton, the
NRA Consumers Division officials
pointed to the decision of the
Federal Trade Commission several
years ago, which held that a rise
in the price of just does not
justify rise in the price of bread.
It was contended by the bak-
ers that one-cent bread increase
was due to a rise in the price of
wheat.

food awaiting them on their re-
turn home at the lunch hour.
AS related by Coroner Bradish,
Eugene had a pet rabbit of which
he was very fond, but the hunger
of himself and his little brothers
was so devastating he suggested
to his parents that they kill his
pet for food.
They replied that it could not
be killed and cooked in time for
lunch but agreed to have it for
dinner in the evening, Coroner
Bradish declared. With this to
look forward to, Eugene'S brothers
trundled back to school. His
mother, Mrs. Nettie TruSchel, as
sumed he had joined them.
A few minutes later she went
to a door leading upstairs. Fling
ing it open, she cried out in hor-
ror at the grisly sight her eyes
beheld. There. hanging from a
balustrade at the end of a moose,

Craft Unions Win
Over the dramatic protests of
John L. Lewis, head of the United
Mine Workers, organized labor
representatives voted down last
midnight a proposal to substitute
mass organization in the mass
production industries for tradi-
tional unionization by crafts.
The vote was 18,025 to 10,924
against industrial unionism.
In making his fight for indus
trial unionization, Mr.. Lewis infer
entially threatened that the mine
workers might withdraw from the
American Federation Of Labor If
the issue lost.
Best information was neverthe-
less that the mine leader would
continue his affiliation with the
A. F. of L., if for no other reason
than to eventually unseat those
now in power.

Home Life Described
The divorce case, which opened

of Captain Nixon, in which, it
was asserted, oysters were served
by the bushel, as well as rare
old Scotch whisky"
This testimony was given by
Judge Leo Doherty, of Boston,
who flew here to testify for Mrs.
Nixon. The judge said Captain
Nixon informed him he had a
private income and so was able
to live in a style beyond that
possible under his salary from
the Army.
Mrs. Nixon contends, in asking
an absolute divorce, that the
Pennsylvania decree is invalid
and therefore the marriage to
Miss Cooke was illegal.

As Rebels Roam

HERMOSILLO, Sonora, Mex,
Oct. II UN.SO.-Savage raids on
Sahuaripa and Tenchi, with the
massacre of more than a score of
persons in the Yaqui Indian terri
tory, were reliably reported here
today.
Practically all of Sonora was
paralyzed with fear as guerilla
warfare continued to spread
throughout the state.
Mayors of numerous villages and
settlements were reported desert
ing their towns, fearing they
would be singled out as the next
victims of the bandit raiders who
thus far have confirmed their
killings to government officials
and teachers.
DeSertions of city officials were
reported from Sasabe, Pitiquito,
and Altar in sections where the
raiders have been particularly
active.
Failure Of a party Of five wealthy
Americans on hunting trip into
the interior to keep in touch with
The border by telegraph as
promised, following robbery of the
group by bandits, today had
aroused fresh fears for their
safety.
The men who were robbed of
guns and ammunition Tuesday,
reported their safety, but since
that time no word has been re-
eeived.

Sonora is near anarchy, accord

to her home in Cincinnati, Ohio,
who declared today on reaching
the border:
"Rebels are striking every

along the lines Of the Ku KIux
Khan with secret members in
every settlement who keep the
rowing band posted and who
mask and join the raiders be-
fore they enter q town. Then
1t is simple for them to point
out the mayor, teacher and
other government employees"
Reports were current here to-
day that the same bandits who
raided Santa Ana and Magda-
lena earlier in the week, killing
government officials, had been
sighted in the Altar district.
Fears For 200 Americans
This report caused appre-
hension over safety of 200 Amer
leans, most of them prospectors
working gold claims in that
section.
Manuel Mascarena today was
organizing volunteer force to
march to Santa Cruz, 10 miles
south of Nogales, in the hope of
preventing a raid on Nogales
from the South.
The belief that bandit leaders
maintain spies in Nogales was
confirmed with the arrest of a
federal deserter with documents
indicating he was attempting to
gain recruits for the bandits.
