General Staff Cited.
Mr.. Brandt read a telegram from
Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the Post
Dispatch who had made the trip to
Europe. In urging Washingtonians
to see the pictures which that paper
had just displayed to more than
10000 persons in st, Louis, Mr.,
Pulitzer charged that the most guilty
Nazis were members OF the German
general staff.
These men have twice planned
to conquer the world" he charged,
"and unless executed they will plan
to conquer it again. -. Let us indict.
try, and upon conviction shoot the
members of the German general
staff. The Nazi leaders. the indus

pictures now on display at the Con-

Mr.. McKelway explained, "in the

NEW CANAAN, Conn, June 30.---
Mrs. Imogene Stevens, az. today
pleaded innocent to charge OF
manslaughter for her admitted
shooting of Albert Kovacs, 1s-year-
old submarine sailor and veteran
of the Pacific campaign. Her bail
was continued at $4,000 and she
was returned to the Bridgeport Jail.
A hundred persons. mostly woin-
en-, crowded the tiny courtroom
where the case was presented
briefly by Town Prosecutor Ed
mond L. Morrison.
He understood. he said. that
David Goldstein. her attorney,
would waive examination and Mr..
Goldstein confirmed this. adding
he would not seek a reduction OF
bail now.
Crowd Disappointed.
The crowd obviously was disap-
pointed at the breyity OF the pro-
ceedings. If Mrs. Stevens recog-
|nized old friends in the crowd, she
gave no sign of 1T.
The defendant. mother of g.
year old daughter by a previous
marriage tshe was divorcee when
she married Maj. G.. Ralsey Stevens,
III, who now is overseas, looked al
most girlish.
She wore black dress with
quarter-length sleeves. Her luxuri-
ant black hair was done In two pig
tails and was tied up with tiny
white ribbons.
The arraignment caused merely
a ripple In this typically Yankee
town of 1000, whose history goes
back to 1640. This was in sharp
contrast to the excitement which
prevailed as news of last Saturdays
shooting first broke.
Heavy Drinking Charged.
On that night Coroner Theodore
Steiber found, in holding Mrs
Stevens criminally responsible foi
Mr.. Kovacs' death, Mrs. Stevens and
her neighbor Mrs. Charles Milton
had drunk heavily at nearby
Darien tavern a few hours before
Mr.. Kovacs was killed by Mrs
Stevens In the Milton home.
Young Kovacs, home on leave, had
gone with his brother James to cal
on Faith Coombs, classmate al
high schol and youthful companion
TO Mrs. Milton. The brothers found
the house open when Mrs. Stevens
armed with pistol appeared or
the scene and demanded they
leave.
When they demurred, James
swore at the inquest earlier in this
week, Mrs. Stevens opened fire
killing Albert with three shots.
