Il think you shared a platform
once with President Roosevelt" "
Objection, said United States
Attorney John F. x. McGohey.

The judge added that Mr..
Crockett seemed to be trying to
establish facts even though the
questions were being ruled out.
Whether Robson did or didn't
share a platform with the late
President. Judge Medina said, has
nothing to do with the case.
Mr.. Crockett said that in view
Of the rulings he found it impos-

Court Expected 10 Rule
On Confessions in
Lonely Hearts Case
BY the Associotsd Press

DOVER. Del. Sept. 20.-A three
Judge court is expected to decide
today whether four confessions
were obtained by force in Della
wares lonely hearts" murder
case.
Defense Counsel Benjamin r.
Donolow yesterday objected to
introduction of the four statements
in which the State contends Robert
Brennan, 16-year-old farm boy,
admitted the shotgun Staying Of
Wade N. Woodbridge, Ct, a car
penter. from Bedford County. Va.
Young Brennan is on trial
charged with murder in Mr.. Wool
bridges death last October. His
mother, Mrs. 1nez Brennan, As, is
being tried as an accessory.
The State claims Mrs. Brennan
met Mr.. Woodbridge through lone
ly hearts correspondence and
ordered Robert to shoot the Vir-
ginian to get his money.
Body Found on Dump.
Mr.. Wooldridge's body was found
on Dover city dump last April.
In the protested statements, Rob-
ert Brennan said he shot Mr..
Woodbridge, buried his body ii
a pigpen. later burned the remains
and scattered the ashes on the
dump.
The four statements were
brought under fire as Mr.. Donolow
was cross-examining State Police
Capt. Frederick K. Lamb.
Mr.. Donolow told the court the
statements were obtained under
duress and therefore were not ad-
missable as evidence.
The defense attorney claimed
the statements were made before
Robert Brennan had obtained the
services of an attorney and that
the youth was not taken before a
magistrate for arraignment within
a reasonable time after his arrest
Capt. Lamb testified three of the
statements were made by Robert
in the presence of his mother. In
each case, the State police officer
said, Mrs. Brennan was asked
whether she had anything to say
and each time she refused com.
ment.
