STATE READY
TO REST CASE
NeighbOr TestifeS Against
Mrs. BOuvier Who Faces
Electric Chair

Northampton, Mass, May sup
"A year before her husband was
fatally shot, Mrs. Beatrice Bowler
expressed the hope that he would
be killed on a hunting expedition,
it was testified today at the 29-
year-old Ware widows murder trial.
The story was told by Mrs. Al
phonsine Brunnelle, neighbor and
friend of the defendant who faces
the electric chair if convicted by
superior court jury.
According to Mrs. Brunnelie, her
husband and Bowler were great
friends" They often went hunting
together and helped each other
train hunting dogs, she said.
About year before Bowler was
killed by a shotgun blast as he lay
in bed, he and Brunnelle went
hunting, said Mrs. Brunnelle.
After they had left, she said, Mrs.
Bowler dropped in at the Brunnelle
house for visit and the converse
ton worked around to a discussion
of Bowler. According to the wit
ness, Mrs. Bowler remarked:
IT hope the - - - gets
killed. / hate him."
Mrs. Brunnelle said she told the
story to Police Chief B. w. Buckley
of Ware who questioned Mrs. Bou-
vier about it.
Another witness was Mrs. Julia
Hare, 40, of Ware, wife of the "other
man" in the case. She testified only
that her husband was at home the
night Of the Staying.
A recess was called and 1t was in
dicated that the state was ready to
rest its case.
The prosecution yesterday intro
duced the full text Of Mrs. Bouvier's
second version Of events leading up
to the fatal shooting Of her hus-
band last December 8 at their Ware
home. She first reported that he
had committed suicide but later
changed her story and said the gun
discharged accidentally after she
picked it up.
Miss Beatrice Murray, superin-
tendent of the Mary Lane hospital
in Ware, testified that Mrs. Bowler
made her statement to Police Chief
Buckley of Ware while confined to
the hospital where she had given
birth to a third son. On the previ-
GUS day, December 10, Miss Murray
testified, Joseph r. Hare, named by
the prosecution as "the other man"
had told the defendant, "Bea, if you
have done anything, tell it to the
chief"

BOSTON-W.P)-Six years OF

sense of tremendous achieve

At least. that's the way the
composer Gardner Read of Kan
sas City, Mo, felt about the pre-
mier performance of his Second
Symphony by the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra.
The 30-year-old Read, who di-
rected the playing of the piece
on invitation of Conductor Serge
Koussevitzky, received not one
penny for his composition. But
the thrill and pride of creation
was as great for Inn as for the
Russian Shostakovich who will
receive $4,000 shortly when the
Columbia Broadcasting System
broadcasts his new symphony.

runs 10 pages in manuscript.
Read said there are more thar

work and these must be tran

Pvt. WycOugh,
I'm Italy, Sends
Birds and Lace

Fourteen-year-old Peggy Apa-
ricio 1874 Rondo, St. Paul, received
a box a few days ago from her
soldier nephew, Private Lawrence
P. Wycough, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Overton Wycough, 769 Carroll. He
is stationed somewhere in Italy.
The package, bearing a Paris
postmark, contained five yards of
finely woven hand made lace in a
delicate shade of grey, an exquisite
blue bird, ready for use on a hat,
a long attractive red feather and
a small green feather. Miss Apa-
ricio's nephew promised her the
material for a party dress some
time ago, but the bird and feathers
were a surprise. Mrs. Wycough,
mother of Private Wycough, said
she thought a friend of her sons
had purchased the gifts for him in
Paris.
The former st. Paul lad was sta
toned in North Africa before he
was moved to Italy. He receives
the St. Paul Recorder regularly
and says he could not do without it.
Miss Aparicio is Mrs. Wycough's
baby sister.

"swan song" before the liberal

Der for years.
Washington spoke on "Dynamics
of Race Relations" He suggested
that present worldwide trends in
ferment in racial adjustments were
a part of the dynamic changes
which are taking place in human
affairs.
Inevitable Changes
He pointed out that the white
people of America readily accepted
changes brought on by invention,
science and war, but seemed I'M
willing to accept the inevitable
changes in the relations between
Negroes and whites.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. Maude Stockwell, widow of

sources have come many of the
young people now employed in
skilled and professional jobs. In
1887 the Executive Secretary of the
League investigated the policies of
the local public Vocational School
and found that Negro youths were
refused admission to certain
courses on the grounds that local
employment could not be found for
them upon completing the training.
The League attacked this policy
and succeeded in making it possible
for Negro youth to enter courses
of their choice. In 1888 a policy
of cooperation was worked out
through the Vocational Counseling
Department of the Board of Educa-
ton with a view to improving the
quality of guidance given local
youth in the Junior and Senior High
Schools. The success of each of
these undertakings can be attribut-
ed to Mr.. Washington's ability to
enlist the cooperation of the lead
ership within the Negro community
and the aid Of outstanding officials
of the Board of Education and 9TH
er agencies involved.

plishments Of the League will be presented
