accorded q festive homecoming
by music lovers of the Twin Cities

duct q series Of concerts with the

scarcely heard Of outside Of Mime
sofa, in five short years, ne
brought it up to one of the first
rank orchestras in this country.
Some Of the reports Of the
critics in reporting this recent
series Of Minneapolis concerts fol
low: "Mr. Ormondy'S vividness OF
exposition, his ability to illuml-
nate passages that were once
obscure. his genius in bringing the
leading figures to the forefront
and to trace the development OF
the themes with uncanny skill,
came to q rich fruition. "Mr.
Ormondy spoke with the author
ity Of q wider and deeper expert
ence that gives promise for the
future Of this young conductor"
Another critic commented on
"Mr. Ormondy's exalted but exact
ing command" and was Of the
opinion that he conducted with
q wealth Of magnificent detail
that bespoke severe rehearsing. J."
Still another critic said, 1t IS too
late in the day to explain that Mr..
Ormondy is q Wagnerian con-
ductor of high rank-he has long
since proved his title clear to that
rating" and went on to praise
''Mr. Ormondy'S concise, firm han
ding of the musical line, and re.
markable strength in manipulate
ing climaxes."
Mr.. Ormondy brings with him
tonight, MiScha Elman, the noted
violinist, as guest soloist. Mr.. Ell
man and the orchestra will play

TUB MURDER
GOES BEFORE
JURY TODAY

NEW YORK, April "a U.N.S0.
John FiorenZa, upholsterer's as
siStant, will be indicted in less
than an hour for the first-de-
gree murder of Nancy Evans Tit
terton when the grand jury meets
today, District Attorney Dodge
predicted.
Dodge, who hopes to bring the
24-year-old youth to trial on May
10, said he would call only six
witnesses before the grand jury.
They will include the slain
writer's husband, Lewis II. litter
ton, radio company executive; DR..
Alexander o. Gettler, city toxi-
cologiSt, who disclosed that stains
found on the counterpart Of Mrs.
Titterton's bed corresponded with
stains on Fiorenza's clothing, and
Theodore Kruger, FiorenZa'S EN-.
ployer. Kruger is expected to
testify that the prisoner was not
at work when the crime IS be-
lieved to have been committed.
Secrets" For Trial
Dodge was supremacy confident
Fiorenza would be convicted and
sentenced to die in the electric
chair at Sing Sing and declared
he would present only q highly
skeletonized case to the grand
jury.
For the trial, the district attor-
ney promised "a few secrets that
will leave the defense lawyers
white when I spring them"
It was reliably reported that
among Dodge's secrets" will be
an impartial and prominent OBJ
server, who will testify he was
present during the entire QueS-
tioning that resulted in Fiorenza'S
confession and saw no evidence OF
police brutality.
In q further move to foreStall
attacks on the confession, it was
reported, the district attorney had
Fiorenza photographed in the
nude after the grilling. These
pictures, it was said, show no
blemishes on the youths body,
save an old scar on his chin.
Meanwhile Morris Dickman,
who supplanted the two attorneys
who represented FiorenZa at his
arraignment in homicide court
Wednesday, was reported collect
ing evidence to support an inSan-
ity claim.
