Judge Raps Jury In
Hill Staying Case

Frank Sabinski who was charged
with manslaughter for the fatal
shooting of Teddy Hill of 635 E.
Elizabeth street last February was
freed Monday as Jury deliberated
for 80 minutes and returned with
a verdict of not guilty
Judge Thomas NJ. Cotter Of Re
corders court before whom the trial

see how they could free the de-
PENDANT.
Teddy Hill was slain as he stood
near a parked car near the corner
Of Rivard and f. Palmer streets.

thought Hill was trying to steal
something from the automobile.
Although he was araigned on q
manslaughter charge, Sabinski
maintained his innocence and his
attorney declared that Sabinski
merely tried to frighten the youth
The judge scored the prosecutor in
the case stating that there was evil
dence that he had not prepared
himself to try and convict SabinSki
Eddie T0lan. James Washington
and Mr. Ross were called 10 testify
in behalf Of Hill and it was clearly
shown that Hill had been the victim
Of wanton shooting, The whole case
was so badly prosecuted that the
Judge had to excuse the Jury three
times in order to talk 10 the princi-
pals in the case. He charged the
jury for a half hour and clearly ex-
planned the nature Of manslaughier
with which Sabinski was charged.
Upon hearing the verdict Of the
jury the judge gave them a verbal
whipping for the miscarriage Of
justice.

Russia Believed PIonninq
Partition of Rumoniu
By HELEN KIRKPATRICK.

Chicaso Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
LONDON, Sept. 26.-If Moscow
gets its way in the new Soviet-Turk
agreement Poland will not be the
only country to be partitioned in
Europe this year. There is strong
reason to believe that the Russians
proposals aim at the reconstruction
of pre-war Rumania without Ger
many getting any share of the
spoils.
According to Russian plans, the
Red Army will occupy Bessarabia
and Bukovina, the Ukrainian prov
ince which was once part of the
Austro-Hungarian empire, while the
Dobrudja, the strip along the Black
Sea, long coveted by Bulgaria, will
be handed over to that country in
exchange for resistance to German
expansion southWardS.
Rumania will thus be cut off en-
tirely from the Black Sea, but
equally protected from possible Ger
man attack via Hungary.
What Turkeys reaction to this
move will be is difficult to predict
but it is certain that she will well
come an effective block preventing
German control of the shores of the
Black Sea.
