Saturday night during the Wyoming
State Society's feast at the Raleigh
Hotel
Cowboy costumes and l0-gallon hats
adorned a number of dignitaries and
shots from blank cartridges filled the
air as a dinner of Wyoming elk,
slaughtered especially for the occa-
sion, was being served. In one corner
was covered wagon, reminiscent of
pioneer days.
Justice Van Devanter, seated at the
head table, was watching the goings-
on when waiter approached from
behind, pouring coffee into each cup.
Apparently, the waiter lost his footing
as a Wyoming cowboy dashed by and
the coffee pot moved toward the JUS
tice's head.
Ernest j. Mccarthy, the banquet
manager, rose to the occasion, reach
ing the waiter just in time. Fortu-
nately, the pots spout was turned
upward and none of its contents
spilled. Only few persons at the
speakers table witnessed the incident.

COURT OVERRULES
DISTRICT JUDGE
Another Hearing in Sentence
Mix-Up on Downey Case
Ordered.

The United States Court of Appeals
held today that a District Court Judge
should not have acted to correct a
sentence which he imposed five years
ago, but should have sent the matter
to another magistrate.
The case concerned Bernard L. Dow
ney, who pleaded guilty to three rob-
berry indictments and was sentenced
March "a, 1882, to four years impris-
onment on each case. The clerical
recording of the sentence left doubt
as to whether the terms were to
run concurrently or consecutively-a
difference between and IL years.
Downey was sent to Atlanta and at
the expiration of four years obtained
his release by habeas corpus. He
was then brought to Washington for
correction of the original sentence.
Over objection Of his attorneys,
Albert Stern and Albert Lyman, the
motion for correction Of sentence was
heard by the same judge who imposed
it--Justice James M. Proctor. Draw
ing on his own recollection of circum-
stances surrounding the case and let
ters in his files, the jurist decided
the sentences should run consecu-
lively. This meant Downey would
have to serve eight more years in
prison.
Associate Justice Harold NJ Stephens
of the appellate court declared, how
ever that the hearing was improper,
since Justice Proctor acted both as
Judge and witness. He remanded the
case to District Court for another
hearing before different Judge.

Nursemoid, 10, Seriously Hurt
In 35-Foot Leap From Window
Act Laid to Baseless
Fear of Being
Sent Home.

A 16-year-old English nursemaid
today fought to recover from injuries
received in 35-foot plunge from AL
ban Towers yesterday-the result, her
employer said. of brooding over a
baseless fear of being sent back to her
native land.
The girl. Rose Bridger is in Emer-
gency Hospital in a serious condition.
although she showed improvement
last night after being given a pint of
blood by her employer, Jean c. Baube,
Washington correspondent of Havas,
French news agency.
Snlarting under a jesting reprimand,
the girl waited until Mr.. and Mrs.
Baube left their apartment to visit
friends before she attempted to end
her life
Climbs to Windowsill.
After tucking the Baubes' 18-month-
old son and 3-year-old daughter in
their cribs, she climbed to the window
sill of the third-f1oor suite and leaped
to concrete driveway while a group
of children watched from below
The girl apparently had considered
Stabbing herself or slashing her wrists,
because she was holding a butcher
knife as she stood in the window.
The cries of the children who saw
her-Brennan Hatley. 13, and William
Walker, 14-failed to dissuade her
from jumping.
DR.. Joseph S. Laughran, pastor of
Cleveland Park Community Church,
who was eating lunch in the Alban
Towers dining room when the Incl
dent occurred, accompanied the girl
to the hospital and offered to submit
to a TRANSMISSION. His blood did not
match, however.
Hurries t. Hospital.
Baube, learning what had hap
pened when he and his wife returned
home several hours later, hurried to
