OF Alternate Bridge Route
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 4.-Gov
Lane promised protesting Severn
and Magothy River residents yes
terday that no action would be
taken on the proposed Severn
River bridge until an alternate
route was thoroughly studied.
The Governor made the state
ment at meeting in his office
here. About Is citizens of the
area attended, representing the
Magothy River Association, the
Severn River Association, Ferry
Farms, the st. Margaret's Associa-
-tion and other organizations and
individuals.
The delegation offered a plan
which would utilize the present
approaches to the now-existing
span. The northern end Of their
proposed bridge would be at OF
near the northern end Of the pres
ent span, but the bridge would
swing at an angle through West
Annapolis.
The citizens argued their plan
would be cheaper, would displace
fewer people, and would preserve
"the most beautiful approach to

country.

Virginia Vote Reaction
Mixed as Byrd Foes
Point 10 Big Showing
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 4.-With
Virginia's primary now history and
the dominant Democratic Or
ganization's candidate, John s.
Battle, virtually assured of being
the next Governor. speculation
turned today on these points:
/. What did the outcome mean
in terms OF the organization s
strength?
2. What chances can be ex-
pected in the General Assembly
leadership as a result of Mr.
Battles expected resignation from
the Senate and the defeat of
Speaker G. Alvin Massenburg OF
the House of Delegates?
3. Where were the Republicans
in their first Statewide primary?
Delegate E. Blackburn Moore OF
Berryville was discussed as a
most likely successor to Speaker
Massenburg. Mr.. Battles seat in
the Senate may be sought by Dele
gate E: o. McCue, jr., of Chariot
tesville, who indicated some
months ago he might go after the
position, although he has made no
public declaration.
Handwriting on Wall"
Post-mortems on the election
results showed mixed views. Some
saw the organization headed by
Senator Byrd as having received
convincing evidence of public ap-
proval and therefore added
strength.
The anti-organization viewpoint
was that the anti-organizatlor
candidate polled the largest vote
ever by those opposed to the Byrd
machine" and that the organiza-
ton had seen "the handwriting on
the wall"
AS for the small Republican
vote, many believed that Repub-
licans marked Democratic ballots,
as a prominent Virginia Repub-
lican had advocated.
Republican Campaign Manager
Tyrrell Krum Of Vienna intimated
as much when he said one OF the
things that made the Republican
vote low was the issuance OF con-
fusing opinions on the electoral
law by Democrat Attorney General
]. Lindsay Almond.
COP Primary Held Success.
Mr.. Krum, however, termed the
first COP primary a success. He
pointed also to the single contest
in the Republican ranks, that for
acknowledgement, as contribut-
ing to the Indifference on the part
of the Republican voter.
Early today returns from 1,719
of the States 1,768 precincts gave
these totals for the four DEM
ocratic candidates for Governor:
Battle, 133,240: Miller. 11e,032;
Horace H. Edwards, 47,030, and
Remmie L. Arnold, 21,800.
At this counting the total vote
was past $4,000, new primary
record. The previous high, 224,-
900, was set in the 1916 senatorial
primary when Senator Byrd de-
feated the antiorganization can
didate, Martin Hutchinson, 141.-
600 to $1,000.
The only Republican contest,
that of lieutenant governor, with
$50 Of the States 1,768 precincts
reporting, showed Thomas E. Nc
Guire of Petersburg to be leading
Berkeley Williams of Richmond,
1866 to 1875. Republican strength
in Virginia is reputed to be up
wards of 100000 voters.

Age Of One Defendant
May Preclude Death
Penalty for Brennans
BY the Assoeiofed Press

DOVER, Del, Sept. 13.-The age
of one defendant in Delaware's
Lonely Hearts murder trial may
rule out the possibility of death
sentence for a plump widow and
her 16-year-old son.
Mrs. Inez Brennan, 45-year-old
brunette, and her son Robert
went on trial yesterday. The
youth is accused of shooting to
death Wade N. Woodbridge, 81. Of
Bedford, Va. The State contends
Mrs. Brennan ordered her son to
kill MIR. Woodbridge for his money.
Under Delaware law an accom-
plice can receive no greater PEN
atty than the principal in a mur-
der case. Traditionally, convicted
slayers under 18 have seldom been
hanged in Delaware.
Attorney General Albert w.
James made no mention of the
death penalty in his opening re-
marks to the jury of ten men and
two women.
Asks First-Degree Verdict.
The State did ask for first
degree murder verdict against the
Brennan boy and his mother. The
jury could recommend either
death by hanging or life imprison-
ment in returning such a verdict
but the court would not be bound
by a recommendation of clemency.
The body of Mr.. Woodbridge was
found on a Dover city dump last
April. State police said Mrs.
Brennan and Robert in several
statements told them they first
buried Mr.. Woodbridge, a carpen-
ter, in a pigpen on the Brennan
farm, later burning the body and
reburying it in the dump.
The two Brennalls also told in
their statements, State police said,
of shooting Hugo Schulz, 81, on
his farm near Concord, N. H.,
bringing his body to Delaware for
burial in the same pigpen and
then in the dump.
The Schulz death is not in
volved in the present trial.
Court Is Crowded.
Dover's court of Oyer and
Terminer was crowded at the
opening of the trial yesterday
under old English procedure to
which Delaware still adheres.
Spear-carrying tipstaffs escort
ed Mrs. Brennan and her son to
the dock with both defendants
handcuffed.
The spearheads are painted red
on one side and white on the
other. The white side-represent-
ing the presumed innocence of the
prisoners-iS held toward the
court during trial. In the event
of a conviction. the red side of
each spear will be turned out
ward.
Mrs. Brennan. according to
State police. said in her state
ments that she met both Mr..
Woolridge and Mr.. Schulz through
Lonely Hearts" correspondence
after they had answered her ads
in q magazine.
Relative Started Inquiry.
MIR. Wooldridge's body was
found after one of his relatives
in Virginia asked Delaware au-
thoritives to investigate his dis
appearance. State police said the
relative told them Mr.. Woodbridge
left his home to go to Delaware
after writing Mrs. Brennan.
Another Brennan son, George,
II, held as an accessory in Mr..
Wooldridge's death. was rearrested
yesterday after Mayor William
Storey told the court a Dover res
taurant operator was withdrawing
the $4,000 bail he had supplied
the youth.
Chief Justice Charles S. Rich
ards ordered George committed to
the county Jail pending the post
ing of new bail.
A third son, Raymond, %, Is
also under bail as an accessory
in the case. Both he and George
are to be brought to trial later.
