LONDON. Nov 1-Britain's paci-
fist Duke of Bedford, in an article
in Peace News, said today it was
neither sensible nor right" to quar-

The duke, whose pacifism has
brought criticism in Parliament, de-
scribed Hitler Is an "untested man
Of mixed attributes with whom it is
neither sensible nor right to quarrel
until he has been tested by the one
test which to me is worth everything
that of wise, practical, genuine
friendship
The duke said Hitler's faults are
completely understandable and cause
me no surprise whatever. although
their results may in some cases be
horrible"

were hung last Sunday night on the

Nazi Embassy Bulletin
Denies Convoy Attack Story

The German Embassy, after
months of silence, today re-entered
the realm of public propaganda ac-
tivity with the issuance of a new
Berlin Bulletin" In the early days
of the war, these bulletins, on eco
nomic and political topics, were dis
tributed almost daily to a select list
of recipients, but for unexplained
reasons the activity halted. The re-
sumption also goes unexplained by
the Embassy.
The new bulletin has a defensive
counter propaganda tone, issued in
direct reply to the claim by Capt.
Urquhart Mccall, r. NJ, commander
of the British cruiser Dido, that last
May 81 his ship engaged German
Italian convoy on the Mediterranean
with an enemy loss of $500 lives
Capt. Mccall told the story in an
interview September %.
The bulletin says the German
Embassy endeavored to verify this
story according to which the losses
in this single naval engagement
alone would have been almost twice
as high as the losses officially an
nounced for the entire campaign in
Crete" The high command of the
German Navy told the Embassy
that the losses amounted to 300.
The Embassy takes the oppor-
tunity to bestow praise upon its ally,
Italy, saying in the bulletin:
The credit for these compare
lively small losses undoubtedly is
due to the commander of the Italian
destroyer, who by his heroic action
succeeded in confusing the enemy
in the darkness and thereby gain
ing precious time for his own ships"

Counsel to Appeal
For New Trial; Lindsey
To Die Same Day

Jarvis r. Catoe, colored. today
officially had but little more than

In the interim, his attorneys.

from the electric chair and given
a new trial.
Justice James w. Morris in Dis

penalty on Catoe yesterday after
noon after overruling a motion for
new trial. The prosecutors
United States Attorney Edward M.

Attorney John w. Fiheilv were on
hand to oppose the granting OF
new trial, scouting defense conten-

and that Catoe had not been tried

Standing calmly before the bench,
Catoe, when asked by Justice Morris
if he had anything to say prior to
the passing of the death sentence.
declared: Judge, your honor, after
I am gone. the murder will remain
unsolved. You won't have the right
man"
In overruling the motion for
new trial, Justice Morris declared
that the discussion had brought
! forth no questions that had not
been passed upon at the trial. The
| jury. he said, had considered the
question of the confession and
decided it was voluntarily given.
With reference to the question
raised by the defense that Catoe
had allegedly made some admis-
sions to the four physicians-two
/ selected by the Government and
! two by the defense-who examined
him for saneness. Justice Morris
asserted that he did not feel that
this violated any confidential rela-
tionship between doctor and
patient.
Warned by Doctor.

said Justice Morris, that ANYTHING
divulged might be used in evidence
against him
