HAUPTMANN TRIAL

Probably in the days to come,
somebody will unearth accounts Of
the trial of Bruno Hauptnann, alG
all the concomltant Issues.
In the present day, a sane and
calm discussion of this issue seems
impossible
We are reminded of the captives
brought before King Arthur, nearly
IA centuries ago-and of their judg-
ment on grounds Of tall tales and
superstititons. As We read Mark
TWain's book We smile over the ali
surdities Of the trials Of those cap
tives.
But the captives did furnish the
faded populace a holiday The
knight vino captured them gained
the greatest honor in ratio to the
holiday he supplied the royal gal
lery.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. = We spoke
recently concerning the outlook on
this present era as viewed several
centuries hence. This query was eX-
pressed because we had been going
over Mark TWain's "A Connecticut
Yankee at King Arthur's Court In
that memorable work, Mark Twain
moved his hero back from 1879 to
538. But, in SO doing, he virtually
projected him irto the future, for
in looking backward, the hero actu-
ally was comparing our own foibles
with the crudIties and the injustices
of King Arthur's day.

zIONCHECK ON

WASHINGTON, June 80. (UP)
"A midnight express train sped
Marion A. Zioncheck safely out

man in many a year toward MS
home in Seattle, Washn.
Shortly after s p. m. ZionchecE
issued a statement saying he had
been "shanghaied' to Gallinger
hospital and had not had even "A
suspicion of fair play"
The statement said:
"In the absence of my wife and

shanghaied to Gallinger hospital
as well as to the sO-called Shep-
herd-Pratt hospital, which is little

After a late conference with
Zioncheck, the bald, stoutish Ken
meth Romney, house sergeant-at-
arms, told newspapermen that
Mrs. Zioncheck, the congressman 5
mother, is seriously i'll in Seattle
As a result, he said, Zioncheck
may ride the train as far as Chr
cago, then fly the rest of the way.
Zioneheck was evidently ready
to keep the bargain he struck with
capitol police in the late after
noon when they got him out OIL
his office, in which he had been
barricaded all day.
They agreed to keep him out OF
the hands of city police who
threatened to return Zioncheck to
Gallinger hospital for further
mental examination.
