appearing recently in leading SER

written by men of reputation, with
a fair claim to being authorities on

One theory which is encouraging

Europe is that Hitler cannot afford

DANAHER NAMED
 MERIDEN MAYOR
Elected By Biggest Major ity in History; Rockwell
 Also Republican
(By United Press)

After losing Putnam and Willi- mantle, Republicans made a come back in city elections Tuesday, re- turning incumbent administrations by impressive margins at Meriden and Rockville.
 The elections in the four cities this week produced a gain of one community for the Democrats-Put- nam. There a Republican adminis- tration in power for six years, was busted. Tn the other three cities, in- cumbent administrations were re- tained.
 Meriden: Mayor Francis P. Dan- aher, R., was elected to a second term by the greatest majority in the city's history, defeating State Sen Charles H. Ledwith, 9579 to 736l. Danaher. brother of U. s. Sen. John A. Danaher and son of State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher, will have a council of 16 Republi- cans and four Democrats.
 Main reason for the impressive triumph of hte Republicans, some sources said, was widening split in the Democratic ranks. There is a strong opposition to the leadership of U. s. Sen. Francis T. Maloney in his home city.
 Rockville: Mayor Claude A. Mills, also state senator, was elected to a third term over Ewald Fritzsche D., 1429 to 951.
 The eight-member council will be solidly Republican.

DEATH RECALLS
 FAMOUS TRAGEDY
Henry Stevens, Thirteen Years Ago, Acquitted in
 Hall, Mills Murder

Lavallette, N. Y, Dec, 6.-(UP)- Funeral services were held yester- day for Henry Stevens, one of the defendants in the famous Hall-Mills murder case. The 70-year-old sportsman and former president of the Lavallette borough council died Sunday, just 13 years to the day from the time he was acquitted on Dec. 3, 1926.
 The case in which he was tried was one of the most famous mys- teries in American murder annals. On the night of Sept. IA, 1922, the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall of New Brunswick, N. J., and his choir lead- CT, Mrs. Eleanor H. Mills, were kill ed in De Russey's lane near New Brunswick. They had been shot and Mrs. Mills throat was cut.
 The other defendants, also ac- quilted, were Stevens sister, the wife of the slain clergyman, and his brother, Willie, who survive him, and Henry De La Bruyere Carpen- ter, cousin who died May 26, 1884.
 The chief prosecution witness was Mrs. Jane Gibson, known as 'aThe Pig Woman" but Stevens testi- mony, supported by five witnesses, that he was fishing in the ocean 70 miles away at the time of the crime, won his acquittal.

1 the Chase Go. turned to Atty. Mas colo who had presented a written claim to him regarding negligence i in the case and said:
 I'm afraid II have to deny your motion but I'll study your claim be- fore making decision"
 Atty. Mascolo argued that there were several matters that developed during the course of the case which warranted the granting of his mo- ton to set aside the jury's verdict, and mentioned at one point that his client was entitled to a fair trial
 "Is 1t your idea that your client did not get a fair trial and are you arguing that point" said Judge Cornell" If so do not pursue that argument any further. It can be taken up on an appeal to the Su- preme Court of Errors.
 The Croughwell case attracted considerable attention because of the amount of the damages sought and the serious injuries sustained by the plaintiff.
 The tire and rim involved in the accident had been taken to the c. A. Templeton Go. for repairs by Chase O. employees While Crough- well was standing near 1t the tire blew out throwing the rim into the air, the rim striking the plaintiff in the head causing permanent inc juries and incapacity.
 It was the contention of the plaintiff that Chase Co. employees had not locked a device on the tire rim before sending the tire for repairs.
 Atty. Mascolo indicated that he will appeal the case to the Supreme Court If Judge Cornell denies his motion.
