washington Ellis and his vito,
Josie Ellis. were free Tuesday for
the first time since their arrest
April 20.
Ellis, disabled World War vet
eran and his wife fled to Detroit
to escape the wrath OF mob that
had formed after he had killed a
white man in Bentonia Miss, who
had attempted to criminally as
sault Mrs. Ellis.
Reduces Ball Bond
The couple gained their free

after censuring the Mississippi
authorities, reduced the bond OF
Ellis from $4,000 to $500. and that

At the same time Judge Gordon
adjourned = hearing on tho fugf-
tive warrant until Sept. 9.
In his argument for reduction OF
bond for the couple. Attorney
Lloyd A. LOOMS pointed out that
Ellis and his wife had been con-
fined since April 20. and that
there was possibility Of them re-
naming in jail for thirty more

Mr.. Loomis said that Yazoo
county, In which Bentonia Is To-
Gated. had sought to have Ellis and
his wife returned on charge OF
violation OF the Federal Fugitive
Felon law. This was done, he said,
because the officials had said that
the county was broke.
However. eight days after Judge
Edward Monet OF the Federal
Court had freed Ellis and his wife
on the federal charge. the legisla-
ture OF Mississippi appropriated
enough money for Yazoo County to
send a special prosecutor to De-
troit TO press extradition proceed
ings before Governor Murphy.
No Faith In Charge
The attorney pointed out that
Mississippi authorities had evil
denced a lack OF faith in sufficient
grounds for the extradition OF Ellis
and his wife. therefore they had
sought the aid Of the federal law.
Judge Gordon. after hearing the
argument OF LOOMS. stated that he
was inclined to grant his petition.
but would first want TO hear from
the office OF the prosecutor.
John Ricca. assistant prosecu-
tor. said that the prosecutors Of

 The new campaign, which ties in directly with point-of-sale displays, radio and other Chesterfield ad- vertising, is designed to appeal to the typical smoker of every age Stars of radio and the sports world will be featured in some of the ad- vertising, while in others the smok- CTS themselves are the stars.
 The campaign, according to Liz gett & Meyers, is based on the be- lief that people smoke for the pleas ure of smoking. But in each ad- vertisement, factful reason-why copy supports the pleasure message.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 10.- An old screen friend has passed from the picture, unheralded and unmourned. Gone is the lengthy fadeout scene which used to signal us to get our hats and coats.
 Time was when a movie-wise pa tron could be halfway through the exit before the hero had finished planting the fadeout kiss. Even if the patron weren't movie-Wise, he would leave anyway because the lady in the seat ahead, who knew her signals, would be pinning on her hat and he couldn't see if he did stay
 But the protracted movie ending outlasted the hat pin era in femin- inc millinery by many year. Long after the screen story was done, the villain disposed of and true love rewarded, the film kept filling the screen. Through blooming cherry or chards the boy who'd met girl would stroll with her--usually into the sunset. Arm in arm, the happy pair would stroll down the blossoming lanes, while the wise audience strolled, in the opposite direction, down the aisles and out.
