HELD BY POLICE
Assistant District Attorney
Reveals Strange Motive
For Act

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 2 up
- A hit-rm driver was charged by
states attorneys Wednesday with
deliberately running down an ex-
pectant mother, causing the
premature birth Of her child, for
no other reason than to test the
love of a woman riding with him.
Police investigators labeled the
crime one Of the most brutal they
had encountered. They arrested
Howard r. Sullins, 21-year-old
house painter Of Lebanon, Tenn,
on charges Of assault with intent
to commit murder and leaving the
scene of an accident.
Assistant district attorney A. D.
Tanner said Sullias sWerved his
truck SO as to strike down Mrs.
Gladys Derrick Newman, wife of
James Newman, an Eastern air
lines employe. as she stood on a
suburban road taking mail out Of
a post box. Mrs. Newman was
dragged 20 feet. She gave birth to
a tive pound six ounce girl pre-
maturity "a hours after the incident
which occurred Monday.
Tanner explained Sullins' motive
this way.
AS Sullins drove along the high
way, near the Hermitage" home
Of Andrew Jackson. he asked his
companion, identified by police
as 4z-year-old Mrs. Annie Patrick,
mother Of six, if she would tell
a lie for me-" Sullins continued:
What I meant was - we were
talking about marriage and all
that, and l asked her if she would
tell a lie for the man she married
and she said yes And l said I'll
see if you will or not - watch me
hit that GIRL"
After striking the woman, Sullins
stopped, rolled the bleeding woman
over and then drove off.

Situation TickLish
Buckingham Palace Faces
Triple Bomb Explosion

London, Feb. l. (UP) The
threat of q triple explosion that
might wreck Buckingham Palace
sent passersby scuttling away from
the royal residence today when two
more live German bombs were dis
covered close by a i,000-pounder
which Raj experts had been try
ing to neutralize for more than
week.
All three bombs were clustered in
a narrow corner Of st. James Park
opposite the palace, two Of them
in the duck pond and the third
in the center Of lovers lane famil-
lar to London couples since the
time of Henry the Eighth.
Bomb disposal experts discovered
the lovers lane bomb accidentally
while working on the l,000-pounder
buried some 30 feet below the mud
DIV bottom of the duck pond.
One OF Biggest
A hurried instrument test inol-
Gated the new missile was 1000
pound blockbuster, one Of the big
gest bombs dropped by the Luft-
waite during the 1904 blitz.
A few minutes later. still another
live bomb was discovered beneath
the duck pond bed, this one APP
parently a smaller type. The over
taxed Raj experts dropped a tin
can to mark the spot and went
back to work on the two most dan
gerous missiles.
Engineering officers estimated
several more days would be re-
ouired to dispose OF the 1000
FOUNDER already uncovered in the
duck pond. Heavy rains were flood
ing the shaft continuously, block
ing all efforts to get at the fuse
or to haul the bomb out alive"
Royalty Out OF Way
The royal family itself was safe
" out OF the danger zone, having
gone to Sandringham before
Christmas. but the Buckingham
Palace staff was warned TO leave
the wing facing st. James Park.
The explosion Of any one. or all
three, Of the bombs probably would
wreck that corner Of the building
and shower the entire area with
flying rock, glass and debris.
The discovery Of the lovers lane
bomb practically whitened the air
of a handful of authorized by
ISLANDERS.
The group Of sidewalk superin-
tendents had sauntered over from
the duck pond TO watch an Raj
sergeant and his crew drilling IN
the center OF the lane.
