LOAN COMPANY LOSES

The Supreme Court sustained the
Court of Appeals Of the Second Dis
trict, Judges Geiger, Hornbeck and
Barnes, in ordering a new trial in the
Common Pleas Court Of Shelby County
in the case of Eileen Schaub against
the Welfare Loan Company, wherein
Judge Mills, of the lower court, had
decided in favor of the chattel loan
company. In this case the loan COM
pany attempted to execute judgment
for 5000 against Theodore Schaub by
having the Sheriff attach the house
hold goods and property of Mrs.
Schaub, although she had not signed
the chattel mortgage. The Sheriff sold
the property for s400. Mrs. Schaub
sued the loan company. The Common
Pleas Court directed a verdict for the
loan company, but the Court of Ap-
peals reversed and said both the chat.
tel loan company and the Sheriff were
guilty of trespass and had the Sheriff
been made party to the suit both he
and the judgment creditor would be.
liable for the wrongful act of the
Sheriff in selling the property without
authority. The court also held that
the Sheriff had no right to sell any
more of the property than was neces-
sary to satisfy the judgment if he had
any right to sell it at all.

Attorney E. J. Mascolo
 MakesNovelA Argument
Night Club, Restaurant Late Corners on Saturday Nights Eat Up All Supplies-So Sunday
 Meal Selling Is No Crime

Saturday night flee box raiders , who drop in as unexpected guests, and possess unexpected capacities, and the automobile tourists, who "drop in" for Sunday dinner uneX- pectedly received honorable men, ton in the Court of Common Pleas this morning where Attorney Ed ward J. Mascolo argued demurrer before Judge John F. McDonough in the case of Antonio Ciarlo, be- fore the court on a charge of sell ing meat on Sunday.
 It was Judge Mascolo's contention that the statute, which prevents the selling of meat and certain other commodities on Sunday is unrea- sonable and illegal.
 How Often It Happens
 How many times does 1t happen that visitors drop in on Saturday night and have to be fed with the result that Sundays meat supply Is consumed at the Saturday night party and the family is left "out on limb" for piece de resistance for the Sunday meal?" asked Attor- ney Mascolo of Judge McDonough He continued then to ask about the unexpected Sunday visitors who bring a carload" of visitors and have to be taken care of.
 The attorney pointed out that one can buy milk, bread, ice cream, fruit Ice tobacco, gasoline and a few other things such as the Sunday newspapers under the statute, but cannot buy meat, salt, pepper, veg etables and other things which go to make up a meal.
 The attorney stated that a family could not be expected to substitute a glass of milk or an apple for a sir. loin steak and while he did not sa, so. exactly, intimated that ice cream between a couple of slices of breat would not make a sandwich, quite as good as one made with roast beef
 Judge McD0nough Comments
 Judge McDonough said that through the ages there has alwayi been a good supply of salt and pep. per in most families. and he indicat. ed that he did not think the sals of those commodities was important With regard to Sunday newspaper the judge said that the matter oi public safety was involved asserting tha. the newspapers carry news oi the nation and the world to the public. and that they are particul-

FIRST OF MURDER
 INC. SENTENCED
Two Ringleaders to Sit in Electric Chair on
 July 7

New York, May 27.-(UP)-Harry (Happy) Malone ana Frank (the Dasher) Abbandando, the first mem- bers of Murder, Inc, to be brought to trial and convicted, today were sentenced to be electrocuted during the week of June 2. Malone and Ab- bandando, both 30, were found guilty by a blue ribbon jury May g of the murder of George Rudnick who, they believed, had turned informer on them. Their conviction and sentence to the death penalty were the first results of Brooklyn District Attorney William O'Dwyer's drive to break up the gang which made business of murdering for profit. Sentence was imposed by Judge Franklin Taylor who presided at the trial.
 The murder of Rudnick. one of the most brutal in New York crime his- tory, was but one of the scores at tributed to the gang which operated on syndicate basis, ODwyer charged, throughout the country. The indictment charged that Malone and Abbandando killed Rudnick in Brooklyn garage on May 25, 1937, by stabbing him with an ice pick 63 times, strangling him and then ad- ministering the coup de grace with meat cleaver.
 The speedy termination of the case-trial was begun May B. brought to an end the first phase of O'Dwyer's investigation. The second phase will be the trial of Harry "Pittsburgh Phil" Strauss, B. who was indicted with the other two but who received severance.
 The bulk. of the case against the two doomed men was based on in- formation given to the district at torney by Abe tKid Twist) Reles, who in the course of trial casually admitted to participation in a half a dozen murders staged by the mur- der-for- -profit mob.

BY JOSEPH w. GREGG, JR. Limited Press Staff Correspondent


 Berlin, May 27.-(UP)-German armed forces drawing tight ring of guns around trapped Allied armies in Flanders were officially reported today to be striking forward against fierce resistance toward Ypres in an effort to encircle the French city of Lille and make contact with Nazi mechanized units on the English Channel coast.
 Bloody fighting for every foot of ground was indicated in the high commands communique, which said a deep wedge has been driven into the Allied left flank north of the Belgian town of Menin and very close to the World War battle-ground of Ypres.
 The communique also indicated that the pace of the German ad- vance had slowed, although it re- ported Allied counter -thrusts were repulsed and advances made by the German forces with the aid of dive bombers which blasted at the en- circled French, British and Belgian troops.
 Although the Germans were in position to strike at either Paris or England, it was apparent that every resource was being concentrated on cutting up and destroying probably Continued on Page G

 WRONG DIRECTION Their Present Drive Will Not Be of Value to At=
 tack England
BY J. w. T. MASON Limited Press War Expert)


 Germany's occupation of parts of Boulogne and other centers along the channel coast has come from the wrong direction to possess value for any attack on Great Britain. Unless the Germans can break the strong line of the Allied armies further east, the present German positions along the channel must be considered as having questionable offensive importance as far as the British isles are concerned.
 The combat area in Flanders and northern France somewhat re- sembles wavy drawing of huge distorted pipe. The bowl is occu- pied by the Germans, with the outer side curving from Antwerp to the Somme. The Allies are massed along the hundred miles of this outer side, trying to keep the Nazis within the boWl.
 The pipe stem joins the bowl in the vicinity of Cambrai, Valen- ciennes and St. Quentin and follows the Somme westward toward the channel, swinging northeastward at Abbeville and trying to follow the channel coast line. Through the pipe stem the Germans are sending comparatively small bodies of mechanical troops, who have suc- ceeded in swinging along the coast as far as Boulogne and near Calais.

London, May 27 = (UP)-Brit- ish naval and air power battered at German mechanical forces along the English channel coast of France today while military sources await ed major Allied counter offensive to cut through the German "corri- dor" north O. the River Somme.
 Tt is to be assumed that the vast French army of the South is pound- ing away at the er.emy'S lines to close the gap (between the Somme and the town of Bapaume) separat- ing the two Allied Armies" the au- thoriattive Press Association said.
 At the decisive moment, the com bined Allied forces will launch their planned counter-offensive on a gi- gantic scale"
 The press association said that should this Allied counter-offen- sive succeed in closing the gap 1t may well result in the German mechanical units, which penetrated in a spectacular dash to the chan nel coast, being hemmed in"
 Nazis Use Heaviest Tanks
 The Germans were reported using their heaviest tanks in severe fight ing in the Calais sector (which the Germans said they had occupied) but British warships were said to be laying down a heavy fire on the enemy forces.

Authorized quarters said that the German government had communi- cated with the United States en- bassy in Berlin regarding the Presi- dent Roosevelt and that it was hoped that by tomorrow details of the communication could be dis closed.
 Authorized quarters emphasized that the alleged plot against the President Roosevelt was regarded by the German government with "solic- itude and seriousness" and it was said that some time ago the London correspondent of a United States newspaper warned that the world soon would learn of something which would fill it with horror and disgust"
