Hammer Targets in
Western Germany
Night Assault by RAF
Mosquitoes Follows
Record 24-Hour Ruid

LONDON, Nov. 5.-American
Flying Fortresses and Liberators.
escorted by Thunderbolts and
Lightnings, blasted targets in
Western Germany today, while
medium Marauder bombers at
tackled targets in Northern
France, United States 9Th Air
Force headquarters announced.
The daylight assault came within
few hours after RAF Mosquito
bombers hit the same general area
last night in the wake of the most
devastating 24-hour punches yet
thrown at the Reich.
There was no official indication of
the size of today'S force. but on the
basis of Wednesdays 2.O00-ton day
light attack on Wilhelmshaven by
about 1000 American bombers and
escorting fighters, seemed likely
that the new operation, coupled with
the RATS 2,000-ton attack on Dues
seldorf Wednesday night, would
boost the total tonnage loosed on the
enemy within the last 48 hours to a
new peak.
The Nazis failure to take any ap-
preciable toll of bombers in the We'd
nesday raid apparently led them to
put increased emphasis on anti
aircraft today

met the FortreSseS and LiberatorS

Fires Burning in Dusseldorf.
Last nights returning Mosquito
flyers said fires still burned in Dues

plosives were dropped at the rate of

In an aerial offensive the new
United States 18th Air Force joined
with the United States 18th Air

German communications.
Fortresses bombed the west coast
railway at numerous places between
Leghorn and Civitavecchia, north of
Rome, interrupting service on that
important supply artery. Bomb

simultaneous assaults on the rail-

these blows, pounded the freight

the crown for questioning. Chief
Justice Sir Oscar Bedford DAILY read
his longhand account of the testi-
mony given yesterday when De
Marlgny fatty denied that he
bludgeoned and burned Sir Harry IN
death last July.
1t was in correcting the account
that De Marigny denied he was
angry with Sir Harry. with whom
ne admitted having alterations.
The chief justice had reached the
part OF the testimony in which De
Marlgny said he did not speak to his
fatifer-ln-law after last March 30.
Had No Opportunity to Speak.
The witness said Sir Harry came
10 his home at 4 am. and made his
young son, now Sir Harry, leave
with him, and "I never spoke to
him after that"
Your honor, said De Marienv, in
terruptlng the reading, II should
like to change that to show I never
had an opportunity or occasion to
speak to him again."

the chief justice You lust never
had an opportunity to speak to
him?"

cused man.

There still was no indication
whether Nancy, who is steadfast in
her belief in her husbands inno-

De Marigny deliberately elected to
lace cross examination when he de-
clded to testify under oath.
With a sarcastic tone, Attorney
General Eric Halinan asked De
Marigny why he was popularity

Because in New York my wife
Ruth, against my will, called me by
my title, which I never used but
which is recorded on both sides of
