assembly period, James Nj. Hebron

assembly period, James M. Hebron
upheld circumstantial evidence as a
means of bringing criminals to JUS
tice; and in citing an example, used
the Lindbergh case to point out the
obstacles which the police must con-
tend with to fulfill their duties. Mr..
Hebron severely criticized Governor
Hoffman, of New Jersey, for his stand
with Hauptmann, said that he OBJ
structed justice, made a laughing
stock of the courts and law-enforce-
ment machinery of that State.
Going thoroughly into the Lind
bergh kidnapping case, in which he
has been professionally interested as
a member of the Baltimore Criminal
Justice Commission and as consul
tant with the Department of Justice
in Washington Mr.. Hebron called
Governor Hoffman a "fat politician"
who was toying with mans life for
personal gain and publicity. Hebron
closed his remarks on the Lindbergh
affair by quoting another man who
had said that Hoffman instead of
Hauptmann should have gone to the
chair. He said that Gov. Hoffman
was a greater obstruction to the adj
ministration of justice than the cleo
trocuted man. Mr.. Hebron gave the
impression that he was thoroughly
convinced of Hauptmann's guilt.
A goodly portion of Mr.. Hebron's
talk was devoted to an analysis of
justice by petition; that, is, the pa
rolling of a man on the strength of a
signed testimonial presented to the
parole board He said that there

the charge of having signed the name
of C. S. Thomas, prominent Centre

The check was returned to Centre

Mr.. Thomas was in Florida at the
time, and after notifying the Detroit

PUBLIC SERVICE COM. AU-
THORIZES REMOVAL

The Public Service Commission of
Maryland in decision authorized the
Pennsylvania Railroad to discontin-
ue the early morning train out of
Centreville and the one arriving there
at 6:51 %. m. The change will take
effect on April 2*. The ruling SIM
ilarly affects two trains daily from
Chestertown.
1t is understood that the railroad
company will provide additional
freight service over the line the par
ticular train now running every other
day being stepped up to a daily
schedule.
When the new schedule goes into eff
feet it is believed that the overnight
crew now living in Centreville will be
transferred.
Prior to the hearing before the Pub
lie Service Commission on the discon-
tinuance of the trains there was con-
siderable discussion of fast bus SER
vice to serve this and other towns
along the line, but so far as could
be learned no effort has been made
locally to bring this to pass.
Cambridge and Easton business
men some months ago were consider
ing the establishment of bus line
with Cambridge as the southern ter
minal but whether this proposal will
come to life again remains to be seen.
1t is argued by many that fast bus

Lanky Preston Foster, one-time
Ocean City, N j., newsboy, can
boast that he took up yachting out
of sympathy for his neighborS.
The actor, who has clicked in
big way only during the past six
months, was once a choral singer
in Philadelphia La Scala opera
and has never recovered
While he was just plugging along
in pictures adjacent apartment
dwellers had to take it and like it,
but when he got a break he gave
them one, and took his yodelling
to sea in zoa III, a 56-foot power
cruiser.
"A yacht solves everything he
said complacently between old
Man River" and a foray on "CaVal-
leri Rusticana". The ocean can abb
s0rb a lot of noise, and fish never
rap on the keep for quiet"
AT first Foster merely spent his
days off on the boat, but the idea
grew until now he lives aboard
entirely, with Victor Chesnais, his
singing teacher, for company. Mrs.
Foster remains in their apartment,
and Foster comes home only when
on his best vocal behavior.
Foster thinks fates conspire
against his baritone, but still hopes
for singing role. He expected to
combine vocalization and dramatics

rist stage part showed which way
the wind blew 1t was that of a
