! PITTSBURGH, March 22-Tight-
Tipped Emmanuel Shapiro stub
bornly refuses to discuss his reasons
for whacking of his left hand after
poring for hours over the Bible.
The 2l-year- old youth who aban-
doned the Jewish faith of his fathers
for that Of a religious sect ham,
mered of the hand by holding the
wrist over a butcher knife locked in
wise
1T isn't the way would do it but
! it is pretty neat cut" said sur
/ geon who reported Mr., Shapiro
would recover barring complications.
After receiving treatment the youth
was placed under mental observa-
ton.
! Mr.. Shapiro rigged up the crude
chopping block in the basement of
the sect's Kingdom Hall yesterday,
tried it out by looping finger off
mis- right hand then carried out the
unwitnessed amputation. He stag
/ eered mile to his home where Mrs.
Julius Shapiro greeted her son then
screamed when he held out his arms.
Ray Bosworth, member OF Mr.
Shapiro's sect, told how the youth
last week had begun restudying the
life of Christ in preparation for the
yearly feast in celebration Of
Jehovahs name and to the sacrifice
of the Lamb OF God, Christ Jesus"
! He expressed belief the amputa-
ton resulted from the Biblical
phrase:
I And If thy hand cause thee to
stumble, cut 1t off, it is good for thee
TO enter into life manned rather
than having thy two hands to go
INTO he'll, into the unquenchable
I fire"
Mrs. Shapiro said her son left
home Monday after refusing to tell
/ her about the troubles that were
keeping him from eating his dinner. "
/ Relatives and friends. puzzled
over what might have worried the
youth, recalled that four years ago
he was arrested for receiving stolen
goods and placed on probation. But
/ the past year he had been in good
spirits while working as a full-time

Fabulous Silver Hoard
Evades Mining Experts

The fabulous Minnie Moore mine
of Idaho, that slumbered with its
timbers decaying for 80 years after
it once led the world in silver pro-
duction, still refuses stubbornly to
give up its buried treasure to engi-
neers despite expenditure of more
than $1,000,000 in an effort to de-
velop the mine.
The Minnie Moore gave up $10,-
100000 worth of silver before miners
working it came suddenly to a fault
in the ore body where the earth's
strata had shifted. l. E. Rockwell,
general manager of the Minnie
Moore when its ore vein petered out,
chung to the idea that the faulted
vein could be rediscovered.
Some of the nations leading min
ing engineers worked on the prob
lem of locating the hidden ore body.
They worked on the problem with
all the geological science at their
command. But numerous shafts
failed to tap the ore body.
Rockwell believed he finally had
located the faulted ore vein. He set
to work last year with more than 40
men to dig a new shaft and tap it.
The veteran mining engineer be-
ieved his 30-year search was near
success after several months of
work. But the Securities and Ex-
change commission questioned pro-
cedure used by the company in OBJ
tanning funds from its stockholders.
Work was halted when Rockwell be-
lieved success was almost in his
grasp.
