Langdon's Staying
Trial Is Speeded

Haven, where Truscott and Hart
man had gone last Sunday and
griled Langdon.
William Limerick, brother. OF
the slain girl, today expressed NO
opinion as to the guilt or limo
cence Of Langdon. He added:
If he is guilty, I hope he gets
the limit under the law. But I
do hope that the case will be
settled once and for all. I'm
pretty tired of the whole thing"
In the seven years since the
murder, the case has twice been
reopened by former Philadelphia
golf professional who confessed he
was the killer.
He told a convincing story, but
when brought to Washington was
unable to tell where the Limerick
house was or to locate any Of the
places he claimed he had been
with the girl.
Detectives branded him as a
publicity seeker and declared he
had no connection with the case,
Police indicated the science OF
ballistics will play an important
part in the trial The girl was
shot to death with a rs caliber
pistol, and two weapons
of that caliber were found in
Langdon'S home, but neither
proved to be the death weapon.
Three years ago a gun Of that
size was found in an ash pile in
the rear of the house where the
girl was killed, and Major Ernest
w, Brown, superintendent OF
police, admitted this gun forms
a vital part of the police case, but
declined to say who owned the
weapon or what the ballistics
tests had shown.
The girl was found dead the
of December 81, 1880, in
3 house on Nineteenth Street

ported at Tsining in Shantung

Russian police later began pa.
trolling Marking Road, nearby, on
the lookout for further disorders
At the same time, another Incl.
dent occurred in which United
States Marines turned back Jap
anese attempting to enter the
American defense sector.
Fourteen japanese soldiers tried
to argue their way into the sector
but were halted by detachment
of marines.
GALLANT STRUGGLE
Reports from Hankow said thu
fighting at Tsining was particu
larly bitter.
Three more Chinese regiments
were sent there in an attempt tt
overpower the Japanese, who
even the Chinese admitted, were
putting up a grim and gallant
struggle for life"
Chinese authorities at Hankov
claimed their troops were contin
uing to resist Japanese efforts to
smash the iron belt" Of Chinese

the Chinese were suffering ex
tremely heavy punishment in that

He insisted he did not kill the
19-year-old theater usher who was
secretary of the "Sky High
IWhoopee Club" in the prohibition
era, but when asked directly If he
knew who did kill her replied:
Maybe I know and maybe I
don't. But you don't think I'm
going to tell you, do you?"
Langdon asked If his wife, Mrs
Rose Veronica I.angdon, had given
any information to police, and
when he was told that she was
being held as a material witness
he smiled grimly and. said:
Hell hath no fury like q
woman scorned."
Mrs. Langdon, who has been
kept in hiding by police for sew
eral weeks, was arrested in New
York on q morals charge last De
cember.
Washington detectives brought
her here and she gave important
information that finally enabled
police to present the case to the
grand jury.
This was done secretly last
week, with a dozen witnesses Civ
ing testimony. Some Of the wit
nesSes had testified almost seven
years ago, after the coroner's jury
had recommended that Langdon
be held for Grand Jury action.
At that time, however, no in
dictment was returned, and Lang
don was dismissed from the de.
partment after police, searching
his home for the weapon used in
the Staying, had discovered a still

PLAN TO OUTLAW
JEWS OF ITALY.
DENIED BY ROME.
Step Never Considered,
FaSCiStS Declare

ROME, Feb. 16 Q.N.S0.-While
Germany's new hegemony pointed
towards anti-semitic measures in
Austria, the fascist government Of
Italy today called sudden halt on
Jew-baiting. In a firm statement
of policy, Premier Mussolini's gov
eminent announced through the
official Informazione Diplomatica
Recent journalistic polemics
have caused certain foreign cir
cles to believe that the fascist
government is about to inaugu-
rate an anti-Jewish policy.
ABSOLUTELY WRONG"
"This impression is absolutely
wrong.
The fascist government has
never thought Of, nor is it now
considering, adopting any polit-
ical, economic, or moral meas
ures against the Jews, except in
cases where they act in oppoS1-
tion to the fascist regime"
1t was pointed out in foreign
however, that the so-called
Jewish question" is of less con-
sequence in Italy than in some
other European countries. OF the
Italian population of 10000, 900,
only 10000 are Jews.
WILL WATCH INSURGENTS
"Laws regulating control of
the Jewish community" the
government statement contin-
ued, will remain unaltered.
The government, however, re-
serves the right to watch the
activities of Jews who have
recently come to Italy, to see
that the part Jews play in the
life Of the nation does not grow
out Of proportion to their i'm
portance in the community"

So swift and sudden were the

The groundwork for close politi-
cal, economic and military part
nership between Germany and
Austria was laid by Hitler and

ference at Berchtesgaden.
