Adds ABABA, April 4 Q.N.S.)
Fears Of an air raid in the vicin-
ity of Adds AbabE which have
kept the populace in terror since
the outbreak of the war became
reality today when five Italian
airplanes bombarded the CAPT
tails airport.
Swooping several times over
the city, the airplanes sent the
residents Scurrying into the sur
rounding hills, while foreigners
took to shelters prepared long
ago, but no bombs were dropped
within the capital.
Instead, the bombers circled
low over the airport, pelting 1t
with incendiary bombs that burst
with large puffs of white smoke.
EthiopianS manned anti-aircraft
and machine guns, firing thou
sands of rounds at the airplaneS
without any visible effect.
One daring Italian pilot, Scorn-
ing the Ethiopian bullets, &C.
tually landed his pine on the
field and leiSurely sprayed two
Ethiopian planes with machine
guns.
One, a worthless old Farman,
was burned, and the other was
badly mayed before the
bonn Der, unScathed, took off
again.

FAINTS
AT VERDICT
FREEING HER
DescribesLover' sDeath
as Nightmare; Plans
Home and Babies

NEW YORK, April 4 G.N.S).
Beautiful Vera Stretg, the curly.
haired blonde who received q
jury's stamp of approval for kill
ing her lover with her little six
shooter, was back in her fathers
home today, free, happy and ready
to begin life all over again.
Two wordS-"not guilty"-Sent
the winsome university graduate
back into the free air" she had
begged for so tearfully back into
her fathers arms.
, Bad Dream"
She said, between tears and
laughter:
II can scarcely believe it's
ever. It was such . terrible
nightmare. Such q bad dream.
''DO you know what / want
now? Just sunshine and trees.
Green trees, II possible"
After that, she said, perhaps q
home and children, as she has al
ways planned. But first a good
rest, away from it all.
Fritz? Oh, don't ask me to
think about him. / couldn't
speak Of him-nOt yet"
It took the jury of youthful
hooking business men just three
hours of elaboration to decide
that Vera did right on the morn
ing Of November IL, when she
shot Dr.. Fritz Gebhardt, her
wealthy German lover, twice in
the chest and twice in the back.
Father is Smiling
From a restaurant across the
street, Defense Counsel Samuel
Leibowitz came running. Specta-
tors struggled in. Vera'S father,
Frank Stretz, was smiling as II he
anticipated the verdict.
Vera, pale, trembled as two
guards led her in. They didn't let
her sit down. although her knees
were bending. She stood behind
the bar rail, her hands gripping it,
her eyes closed. ....
Gentlemen, have yOu agreed
upon Q verdict"
Replied Curtis L. Lee. bank
clerk, married, youthful, curly
haired:
'We have"
1JuFOHS, rise"
JURY COMFORTABLE"
I They got up. They all looked
comfortable. A Hanging" jury
looks uncomfortable. It was easy
to see this was no hanging" jury.
Jurors, look upon the de-
PENDANT"
:: They looked at. her, their eyes
focusing in unison, like the eyes
Of spectators at a tennis match
when the ball is served.
Defendant, look upon the Ju-
IOrs."
i She couldn't. She looked at the
floor.
"How do you find the defend
ant, guilty or not guilty?"
''NOt guilty"
Women in the court room
screamed with JOY. The entire
audience was on its feet. Even
court attendants exclaimed aloud
ID excitement. 49,,
Vera had slipped to the floor
noiselessly, like doll let fall from
the hand of a careless child. Water
was brought to her. They picked
her Up and her eyes uttered open
and she began to moan softly.
