(Continued from Page D Laura Bacon, well-known social worker. He also wounded the father of the first girl. When Con- stable Thomas Gallagher was talk ing the veteran officer to jail af- ter the rape hearing, Sullivan asked Gallagher if he could stop and notify one of his sons, who lived over a drugstore, to lock up his own home.
 Constable Waited
 While Gallagher waited in front of the drugstore, Sullivan slipped out the back way, went to his home for his service revolver and 15 bull lets. Then he went first to the home of Joseph Benda, father of l9-year old Helen Benda, who had kept house for Sullivan until a few months ago. The patrolman blazed away at MT. and Mrs. Benda. Benda apparently died instantly. His wife was found lying across his body. She died two hours later in Mo- Keesport hospital. The home of Jo- seph Vukelja, father of 12-year-old Antoinette Vukelja, whom Sullivan was accused of assaulting, was the next stop. Sullivan asked for Mrs. Mary Vukelja, the child's mother. As she came down stairs, Sullivan leaped at her with the revolver in his hand.
 Son Is Shot Down
 Milan Vukelja, her 23-year old son, ran to his mothers aid, but was shot down and killed. The father, attracted by the screams of Mrs. Vukelja, was wounded in the hip. When Sullivan broke through two doors to reach Mrs. Vukelja on the second floor, the terrified wo- man crawled out window and leaped from the porch roof to the ground. As she screamed for po- lice, Sullivan ran into the yard, shouting:
 Here's the police" and shot her through the abdomen. As she lay screaming for help, he calmly fired again into her head.
 As Duquesne police mobilized to catch the killer, Sullivan set out Tor the home of Mrs. Bacon. Gallagher, seeing him walking up the street, overlook him. The constable was unaware of the slayings and agreed when Sullivan suggested they stop for 8 drink. Sullivan took whiskey, Gallagher a glass of beer.
 To Bacon Home
 Gallagher agreed to accompany Sullivan to the Bacon home. When Mrs. Bacon was summoned by her son-in- Jaw, Howard o. Wiesen, Sul- livan asked her: :.
 Do you believe all that stuff about me?"
 She marked herself for death when she replied, "yes".
 Sullivan quickly jerked out his revolver, reached around Wiesen, and shot Mrs. Bacon in the abdo- men.
 Gallagher grabbed Sullivan's wrist but the veteran officer had &C., complished his mission of death. He offered no resistance.

 Mrs. Wilson said that she felt McKeever 'got what was coming to him."

 Mrs. Booth and Mrs. Wilson were seated at the back of the enclosure. They were escorted by Chief of Po- lice O. H. Pollock and James Booth, brother of the slain highway patrol man. The women walked from the barn steadily, refusing the police mans arm.
 Crowd Gasped
 When McKeever'S body fell through the trap, sprung by Calla- way County Sheriff Harris Wells, the crowd gasped. The slayer'a body spun for moment, then hung still. Physicians touched their ste- thoscopes to his chest, and shook their heads. A minute later they repeated the examination, then mo- toned to an undertaken.
 Fifty state highway patrolmen, associates of Booth, were seated in an aisle in the barn. After the exc cution, several of them went to the back of the chamber and shook hands with Mrs. Booth and Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Booth smiled wanly. Mrs. Wilson remained solemn.
 Wrote Last Letter
 McKeever spent his last hours composing letters to his aged moth- CT and his wife. Both were in Jef- ferson city this week to implore Coy. Guy B. Park to grant @ re- prieve. When the chief executive told them that he was convinced of McKeever's guilt, they returned to Burlington. Ia.
 The slayer's mother, Mrs. Clara B. McKeever, sobbed a request just before she left that she wanted her sons body returned to her, but was poverty stricken. Citizens here col- lected funds to return the body to Burlington.

 Bury 900 Victims
 With Rebel Army Navalcarnero, Spain, December 18. - (UP) -- Boadilla Del Monte, about 8 miles firm here, was village of death to- day as squads of rebel soldiers bur led more than 300, killed in the last four days bitter fighting, in a sin gle grave, larger than the main plaza of the town.
 For the first time in four days 1t was possible to bury the dead because of heavy fog which si- fenced enemy snipers and halted op- erations in the Fl Escorial sector.
 The town is now in the hands Of rebel troops.
 Worst fighting for this strategic spot, which Is under control of the loyal!sts, constituting a constant threat to the rebel army's left flank, took place in the gardens of the his- toric palace of the Duke of Desueca, a show place of the village.
 Most of the loyalist dead picked up after the battle were Frenchmen belonging to the International or Paris columns of the loyalist de- fense forces.
 Despite shortcomings and blant- ant breaches, the non-intervention policy has reduced the risks of q European war;" Eden continued. "It is better to eXaggerate the risks ot war than to overlook them.
 T stand in no white sheet for the support of non-interyention Our support of the policy is not duo to weakness"
 Indications that 8 new Franco British mediation move is impend- ing, Eden said:
 The government is searching for some means to better the policy of non-intervention. Neither the British nor French intend to desist from their attempts to secure me- diation."
 Then he added:
 Perhaps we will use a slightlyq different method of approach. We believe the time will come when these efforts will be rewarded"
 Madrid Marned Again
 Madrid, December 18. - OUP) - Rebels warned Madrid to prepare for another bombardment from the air today, weather permitting.
 A heavy fog protected the city temporarily against 8 repetition oi Wednesdays disaster when 56 air planes, of which 31 were heavy, tri- motored bomberS raided the city

 It was one of the worst catas- trophies since the seige of Madrid started on November Q, nearly six weeks ago.
 The sun dispelled the heavy fog a few minutes late yesterday and enemy aviators again warned citizens that intensive air raids would be resumed Friday morning weather permitting.
 Quiet prevailed today on the closer Madrid front line trench area where the infantry of both sides was being given a breathing spell.

 That will be some time next spring. The gold will start moving to Fort Knox secretly soon after the first of the year. There will be about 250 cars of 1t, which, if coupled together in one train, would reach nearly three miles.
 Each bar will be wrapped careful ly and placed in a pouch. The pouches will be stacked in Farley's fleet of armored mail cars, while the shipments will be made in spc- cial gold trains of only a few cars each.
 Guards On Each Train
 In addition to postal inspectors and railway mail service men guard- ing every car, g soldiers and two commissioned officers will ride each train. If anybody tries to swipe a bar of gold enroute, he'll never know what hit him.
 Virtually all arrangements for moving the gold by truck from the Repositories to the trains already have been made by postal inspec- tors under Chief K. P. Aldrich. The inspectors also have completed their survey of Fort Knox.
 The vaults are nearly completed. at a cost of $500,00O. There is noth- ing like them anywhere in the world. Every conceivable burglar alarm has been installed. A push of a button will flood the whole place. A bomb on the room will have no more effect than a cream puff.

  ter Eduardo Hay of Mexico an- nounced officially that Mexico was ready to grant Trotzky asylum If he wished 1t. The government, Hay said, had no fear that Trotzky's presence in Mexico could provoke internal trouble provided he abid- cd by Mexico's laws.
 Tn making his announcement, Gen. Hay said that Mexico was req dy to shelter Trotzky solely in keep ing with it's traditional policy of granting Asylum to political ref ugees, and that in giving such shelter the government never en- .dorsed their ideals or aims.
 Gen. Hay disclosed then that one reason for the invitation to Trotzky was an informal request that he be given refuge because most European countries would not admit him. This request was made by Diego Rivero, the brilliant--and most con- troversial-mural painter whose works were destroyed at Rockefel- Ter center, New York, when he in- cluded. in them a portrayal of Ni- kolai Lenin, Trotzky's co-dictator. Rivero is an ardent Trotzky parti- san.
 Opposing the invitation strongly was the Mexican workers federa- ton, the most powerful of Mexico's labor groups. This opposition was based on the belief that to shelter Trotzky would antagonize the Rus sian government.
 Trotzky and Lenin, close friends for years, became the powers after the Bolshevik revolution of Octo- Der, 1917. Trotzky was the war lord and reorganized the armies ef- ficiently. Lenin died and Trotzky became an enemy of the new re- gime. He was exiled to Turkestan, then banished to Turkey. From Turkey he went to Czechoslovakia, then to France, then to Norway always in hot water because of his inbred revolutionary spirit which dominated his writings.

tries. This series will be available
In the Fall to colleges and museums
and other interested organizations
that wish to study the development
OF this new motion-picture type.
Most Of the work of the Film Ii
brary so far has been to collect and
make available for study, historically
and artistically, important American
films. The series which has been
arranged so far furnishes a perspec-
tive of the development Of the Ameri-
can motion picture from 1894 up to
the present time. 1t shows the growth
OF the f1lm art from the first crude
American product through the in
fiuences Of the French and German
films. the introduction of sound, up
to its present high stage of develop
ment. Such motion-p picture classics
as "The Birth Of a Nation" THE
Covered Wagon" THE New York
Hat" Intolerance" THE Jazz Sing
er," "All Quiet on the Western Front"
and many others are included In the
collection, which has been distributed
to museums and colleges throughout
the country.
