TRIPLE KILLER
GOES TO TRIAL
Jury Will Be Asked if
Models Slayer, Sane
at the Time

NEW YORK, Nov. 8. UP)-
Three young men were chosen
yesterday to make up one-fourth
of the jury which will try Robert
Irwin, gaunt, hollow-eyed sculp-
tor, for the ice-pick murder of an
inoffensive lodger who might
have been a witness to two other
murders which occurred on Eas-
ter morning of 1887 in pretty
models apartment.
Though prodded constantly by
Judge James Garrett Wallace,
lawyers for defense and prosecu-
tion made slow progress in pick
ing the men who must decide
whether the 31-year-old Irwin was
legally sane on the night he killed
the chestnut-haired Robbie Gede-
on, artists model, her mother,
and Frank Byrnes, a lodger in the
Gedeon apartment.
By early evening they had chos-
en- three men, all in their. thirties,
and court then was adjourned un-
til Thursday noon, because of
election day Tuesday and some of
Judge ,Wallace's unfinished busi-
ness in other courtrooms. The Sc
lected jurors were James H. Day,
a utility executive, Henry An
drews, securities analyst, and
Harry Held, Jr., paint manufac-
turer.
They were among 13 talesmen
examined during the day from a
blue ribon panel of $50. The pros
ecution used four of its 80 pre-
emptory challenges, the defense
five, and one was excused for
cause.
Irwin's reaction to his first day
in court ranged from smiling
awareness that he was a central
figure of attention to utter bore
dom as the day dragged and ques-
tions were repeated endlessly. BY
nightfall he was resting his head
on the. counsel table and seemed
to be catching a cat-nap at ad-
journment. He wore dark gray
suit, gray striped shirt, and his
brown hair was combed neatly in
a wavy pompadour. The shirt was
a size too. big for his scraWny
neck and his fngernails had been
bitten close, but otherwise his ap-
pearance was neat.
He found some of the talesmen
amusing and seemed to be sup
pressing a paroxysm Of giggles
when the court reprimanded
too talkative member of the pam
ell. =

criminal lawyer who publicly con-
sideps his" client r"crazy as a bed,

constantly for any signs of pref

Moon Remarkably
Near Earth For
Eclipse Period
Only 22S,OOO Miles Away;
Phenomenon Witnessed
in This Section

NEW YORK, Nov. s. (CP).-
An astronomical freak - daylight
eclipse of the moon-was obserV-
ed along the North Atlantic coast
last night shortly before 5 p. m.,
EST.
Scientists explained that the
unusual phenomenon was due to
the "bend" in the suns rays as
they passed through the earth's
atmosphere which made the sun
and moon appear above the west
ern and eastern horizons when ac-
tually they were below it.
AS a result the moon appeared
a burnt orange shade instead OF
yellow just before and after the
eclipse.
Dr.. William H. Barton, Jr., OF
HAYDEN Planetarium, who went
aloft in an airplane to make
scientific observation of the
eclipse, said one of the remark
able things about this eclipse was
the nearness of the moon to the
earth.
"The reason the eclipse comes
close to the maximum total of
time" Dr.. Barton said, sis due to
two factors. The moon was It's
closest distance to the earth
22S,0OO miles-while the earth in
turn was about 91,000,000 miles
from the SUM-"
As a result, the temperature of.
the moon underwent great
change during the hour and 22
minutes of eclipse, he said. When
the suns rays were on the moon
the temperature was near the boil
ing point of water and when it
was in the shadow of the earth it
dropped to approximately zero, a
shift of more than 200 degrees.
The moon was in partial eclipse
at 4:43 n. M. and the eclipse end
cd at 6:04 D. m. The sun did not
set until 80 p. m, so there was
period of seven minutes when
the sun still was visible above the
horizon in the west and the moon

SOVIET AGAIN
WARNS JAPAN
OF ITS MIGHT
Attack on Russia Seen in

MOSCOW, Nov. 8. (UP)-War
Commissar Klamenti Voroshilov
today warned Japan and other
potential enemies that the Chang
kufeng incident in which Russian
and japanese forces clashed on
the Manchukuo border last Au-
gust was just a sample of what
Soviet forces were capable OF, II
attacked.
Voroshilov addressed thousands
massed in Red Square, celebrat-
ing the 2lst anniversary of the
revolution which put the Bolshe-
visits in power.
The Communist Third Interna-
tionale last night called upon the
workers of all democratic nations
to "show the mailed fist" and save
the world from an Italo-German
conquest which, it said, would cul-
inmate in an attack on Soviet Rus-
sia in 1941.
The appeal was issued, on the
eve of the 21st anniversary OF
the Bolshevik revolution by Georgl
Dimitrov, secretary-general OF the
Comintern, or Third Information.

simultaneously it was announc.-
ed that Peter Alexandrovich Sml-
row had been removed as comman-

NJ. P. Frinovsky, vice-commlSsar,

been named to replace him.
There was nothing to INDICATE
whether Smirnov, once described
as "a faithful son of the party,
mercilessly fighting against Trot-
skyists and other counter-revolu..
tionaries," had fallen victim OF

BLACK SCORES HIGH
COURT INVASION OF
THE LAW OF STATES
Continued from mage one)

caprlcl0uS, unjust OF ndrSn.
"This makes it necessary for
the court to weigh and pass upon
the relative judgment, poise and
reasoning ability of the one legis-
lator who voted against the law,
as contrasted, with the "a legisla-
tors and the governor who favored
it," ...
Pointing out that even after the
lower court again passes upon the
laws calidity the case may once
more be appealed to the high tri-
bunal, Black said that "in the
meantime, the state Of Florida IS
forced to litigate the validity OF
it's. newly enacted law"
"The important consequences
of this remand raises far more
than mere questions of proce-
dure," he said. Accordingly, 1t
becomes increasingly important to
protect state governments from
needless expensive burdens and
suspensions of their laws incident
to federal court injunctions issued
on allegations that show no right
to relief"
He asserted that the principle
embodies in the majority opinion
apparently would not lead to
"salutary results" If the COM
plant is to be considered, he add
ed, the court should do so now
and render a final decision.
In the Hendrie case, in which
the $1sS,1Os deficiency was as
sessed on the basis of an 1927
900 trust fund established shortly
before the Denver mans death,
Black contended that Hendricks
purpose in establishing the trust
fund, according to the facts in
the case, was to provide the great
est possible estate for his heirs,
and that the fund replaced a will.
Blacks two dissents enlivened
an otherwise uneventful session.

In his Introductory remarks,
Senator Reynolds apologized Off
the condition of his voice, stating
that he had recently been in Mayo
hospital for treatment. e
He declared he was more inter-
ested in providing educational
facilities because the strength in
America was due to provisions for
education of the masses. Citing
the example of China, he said that
the country was being conquered
by nation of vastly less popula-
tion because a nations strength
lies in intelligence and not man
power. e."
If all of the people of the ma
tion had been able to visit Central
Europe this year an election would
not be necessary, because they
would realize that the only safe
place in the world was the Uni
ted States under Democratic ad-
ministration. .. -.
He declared that he personally
liked Herbert Hoover, and believ-
ed him to be Christian, conscien-
tious man, but that he lacked the
courage and initiative to aid men
and women when their life savings
were being swept away and they
walked the streets seeking employ
ment.

man we have ever observed in the
White House to come to their aid,
Franklin Roosevelt, your friend
