PLANS TRIP

President Roosevelt will leave
Friday night for his Hyde Park
family home to see his 82-year-
old mother, Mrs. Sarah Delano
Roosevelt, who is suffering from
an impacted hip and cracked
bone, suffered in a fall a week
ago today. The injury will con-
fine her to her bed for at least
two weeks.
Last Wednesday, in New York,
the elder Mrs. Roosevelt visited
her grandchildren, Sistie and
Buzzie, children of Mrs. Anna
Boettiger. The Presidents mother
failed to see six-inch step at
the entrance of the Boettiger
home and tripped and fell.
She continued upstairs, how
ever, saw the children and re-
turned to her SiXty-fifth Street
home, and the next day went to
Hyde Park. The President called
her by long distance phone.
In the course OF the converse
ton, his mother casually men
toned she was slightly handi-
capped" and further question
ing developed the story of the
fall.
At the Presidents insistence,
she called a doctor. An X-ray
report showed she had been
walking around nearly a week
with an pacted hip and
cracked bone.

BY a staff Correspondent


HAGERSTOWN, Md, May 20.
In a morning packed with sensa-
tions, the defense of Mrs. Anne
Lyddane, former Rockville bank
employe charged with conspiring
to murder her husband, Francis
"Slom" Lyddane, lost a move to
declare a mistrial, and then the
State summoned to the stand
Mrs. Josephine Beall and her huS-
band, Arthur Beall.
The jury was withdrawn while
lawyers argued the motion for a
mistrial based on the action OF
States Attorney James H. Pugh
in giving instructions to State wit
nesses. After the judges denied
the motion the jury was recalled
and Mr.. Pugh called Mrs. Beall
to the stand.
Mrs. Lyddane looked the other
way as Mrs. Beall,. clad in black.
with yellow gloves and with a
yellow chrysanthemum at the
throat, took the stand and was
sworn.
Anonymous Calls
She was the mother of three
children, Mrs. Beall said, in a
low voice, the last child being
born the night after she had seen
her husband and Mrs. Lyddane
parked in an automobile near
the Beall home at Jamestown.
Mrs. Beall said she watched
the couple for about 10 minutes
that night. She had known Mrs.
Lyddane about five years" she
said. In response to question
by Mr.. Pugh as to whether she
had ever talked with Mrs. Lyd-
dane. Mrs. Beall said:
eyes, she often called me on
the telephone. Most of the calls
were anonymous, but / recOg-
nized her voice. She would tell
me where she had been with my
husband that day or the night
before. The other calls, when
she told me who was calling,
we're about some business we
had"
On one occasion when Beall
drove her to Rockville, he went
down back streets, she said. An
other night, she testified. they
were driving home and as they
passed the Lyddane apartment she
saw Mrs. Lyddane sitting out in
front.
Beall TestifieS
A short time later, she said, a
truck came speeding out of a side
road and Beall was forced to apply
his brakes in order to avoid g
collision A car in back of them
she said, had to pull around their
car. Mr.. Pugh asked her who was
in this machine, and she replied:
"Mrs. Lyddane."
"WaS there anyone with her?"
"NO, she was alone"
Mrs. Beall then left the stand
