toned James Thompson. an elevator
operator, at the apartment door.
Mr.. johnson and Philip Sevold of

inside and ran to the door guarded
by Mr.. Thompson. He said they

slammed the door in his face.
The boys ran for the window again
and Mr.. Johnson threw a beer bottle
at one who stuck his head over the
sill. Another boy shot a pistol at Mr.
johnson. The shot went wild.
Mr.. Sevold grabbed one of the
boys as he dropped from the window

Historian Poised to Trap
 BIack Lady of Fort Warren

Boston, Oct. 31 = (UP) = If the ghostly and infamous lady in black treadS the ramparts in old Fort Warren in Boston Harbor this Hal lowe'en she'll make an abrupt and perhaps fatal acquaintance with one of the nations foremost spook hunters.
 In the eerie area "Twixt the an- cient battlement's black arch and the dank corridor of dungeons will be hidden Edward Rowe Snow, an historian who has spent 16 years and nine canoes chasing the sprites and spirits supposedly haunting the Boston Harbor islands.
 Equipped with 8 witch's tradi- tional broomstick, he plans to use 1t cudgel fashion, evening dozen scores with this dame in widows weeds who sought to slay two Union soldiers and drove G1 raving mad in the final days of World War II.
 Southern Myth Attached Snow is entering the hunt with open mind because his research has revealed these facts:
 During the Civil War, one Capt. Andrew Lanier was confined with several hundred other rebel sole diers in Fort Warren. Desperately plotting to free her love, his slim and pretty wife stole north from Crawfordville, Ga., obtained mans clothing from Boston sym pathizer and, armed with pistol, contrived to reach the fort under cover of darkness in small boat in which were several picks and shovels.
 Reaching the corridor of dun- geons where the southerners were confined, she crawled through a grating to her husbands cell. With others the couple sought to tunnel to freedom but the clink of a pick brought the roundsman and all were placed in chains. Mrs. La- nier drew her pistol, fired at Col onel Dimmick who commanded the fort, but accidentally killed her spouse instead Ultimately she went to the gallows, garbed in a black dress that was found among the forts stores.
 Then Began the TerrOrs Some months later blanched sentry rans screaming to the parade grounds from his lonely post on the forts coverface with a wild story of lady in black who tried to throttle him. He was suspected of too frequent visits to the co1npany's store of rum and placed in irons. Twenty years later poker game in the ordnance storeroom was hastily concluded when a rock, hurled by an unseen hand, rolled noisily down corridor and brought up against the table. Once a wo- mans footprints were found in the snow, coming from nowhere and leading to the. same place. An old soldier told. of a woman's high pitched voice warning him from cell block.
 Less than three years ago while World War II was in progress, a CT was found on the coverface, babbling incoherently. He was dis patched to 8 nearby mental hos pital.
 One recent afternoon, Snow, seeking respite from his labors on 1, his latest book, "A Pilgrim Returns to Cape Cod'', decided to visit the the fort. During his stroll his foot slipped through a water-worn bit

Tone Attacks Baldwin Anti Labor Record
Cites Occasions Governors Forces Rejected Laws

Hartford, Oct. 31.-(UP)-A new word was introduced into the lan- guage today by an ace coiner, U. s. Rep. Clare Booth Luce.
 Entering the Connecticut politi- cal campaign, Mrs. Luce charged that U. s. Rep. Chase Going Wood house, Second District Democrat, is a "Commibut.
 "No Communist or fellow trav- eler she,," said Mrs. Luce in true TIME style, nevertheless Mrs. Woodhouse will reveal herself as a Commibut. Now a Com mibut is what I call a person who answers every question about Russian aggression in this coun- try by saying understand of. course, loathe Communism-but ..
 Meanwhile, the labor record of the Republican Party was hit by Joseph M. Tone, Democratic nom- inee for D. s. Senator. 'The work ing people of this state" he said, remember that on several occa- sions, the Baldwin controlled House of Representatives refused to en- act a State labor relations low which had previously been passed by the Democratic State Senate"
 Tone challenged his opponent, Gov. R. E. Baldwin, to be more fortnight" and cease using ''dou- ble talk on his love for labor"
 Dr. James L. McConadghy, Re- publican gubernatorial nominee, charged that no party "is as com- pletely incapable of leadership of this nation or this State" as the Democratic Party. T believe" he said, that the people by their votes will condemn this bungling, divided Democratic Administra- tion."
 Governor Baldwin was asked by Lt.-Gov. Wilbert Snow to "urge'' State employers to give their work CTS time off next Tuesday to vote Snow wrote the Governor that, T am sure it is your ambition as well as my own to get as many voters to the polls as possible. You already know that g states re- quire employers to give their en- ployes time off for voting. Because the distances between shops and homes, and because of the> early closing of the polls, many workers are in danger of being deprived of their right to vote"

 No California divorce has been recorded for Miss Winsor, who got a Mexican decree from Bob Her. wig, ex-Marine officer and former All American football center at University of California, few hours before her second wedding.
 Neither her decree nor a Mexican one obtained by Shaw is recognized in California. Roll said, however, that he did not intend pressing charges unless Miss Gardner or Herwig complained.

 Historian Goes to Work
 With 8 hastily procured rope, Snow lowered himself down the aperture, so narrow that at times it seemed he might be trapped and become a ghost himself.
 Fifteen feet below the forts bas- tion horizontal passage, 90 feet long and scarcely high enough to crawl through, led toward the black arch, a grim chamber wherein Mrs. Lanier was sentenced to die.
 "n there is ghostly lady" Snow said, that's where she's hidden all these years. There was the smell of death in that passage. There were marks that could have been foot prints, although the opening I came down apparently was the only way you could get into the pass age. But the most curious thing I found was a broken shovel. It was rusty and of ancient design. It looked much like one of those brought to the fort in civil war days by the lady in black"
