ALLEGAN. Mich. July IT,
The murder case against DR..
Kenneth B. Small, Detroit den
tist who killed the admirer of
his attractive wife, ended in a
dramatic verdict of acquittal by
reason of insanity early today.
An Allegan County Circuit
Court jury of IL men and one
woman returned its verdict at
1:40 am. after i've hours and
four minutes of deliberation.
Women spectators screamed.
Others applauded. Some women
kissed DR.. Small.
The verdict, in effect, held
that DR.. Small, 81, was not
mentally responsible-as the de-
tense contended-when he shot
and killed Jules M. Lack, As.
New York playboy -induStrialist,
at a swank summer cottage near
here last Memorial Day week
end.
DR.. Small Had Trailed Wife.
At the time DR.. Small's bru-
nette wife. Edith, 80, mother Of
three boys, was a guest with Mr..
Lack at house party. The hus-
band had trailed her to the cot
tage after, becoming suspicious
of her story that she was with a
woman friend in Chicago.
When the verdict was read, DR..
Small turned and smiled at his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
Small. a
Friends rushed to his side to
clasp his hand.
Mrs. Small was not in the
courtroom at the time of the
verdict. She had secluded her
self previously.
Family and friends declined
to disclose her whereabouts to-
day. The three young sons of
the SmallS were at the Detroit
home in charge of a maid. They
have lived there with the mother
since their parents separated in
May because of her self-con-
fessed infatuation for Mr.. Lack.
Judge Raymond L. Smith re-
quired some moments to restore
order. It was 10 minutes before
the spectators duieted.

Insanity Plea Frees Dr.. Small
In SIdying of,Whe's Adn1irer

Michigan law requires that DR..
Small be kept in a State hos
pital until the State decides that
he is sane, or insane. This
means he could be released at an
early date. or never.
On petition of Defense Coun-
sci Leo Hoffman the court
granted a weeks stay Of the
commitment order pending q
plea for a writ Of habeas corpus.
Prosecutor Dwight M. Cheever
had asked immediate commit
ment.
DR.. Small was returned to Jail
pending obtaining of the writ.
The jury had a choice among
four verdicts-g guilty of first-de-
gree murder as charged, or guilty
of second degree murder, man
slaughter, or innocent by reason
of insanity
Had DR.. Small been convicted
of f1rst-degree murder he would
have been sent to prison for
life. This would have been man
datory under the law.
The jurors received the case at
1885 pm. They remained con-
stantly in deliberation except for
a brief time at midnight when
they asked the court for clarifi-
cation of the law.
Five Days Of Testimony.
The verdict came after i've
days of emotion laden court
testimony.
Until Mrs. Small met Mr.. Lack
on a Florida vacation with her
children last March, the Smalls
to all appearances were happy.
NeighborS told of the fondness
of the couple for each other and
their children. The SmallS had
been married for nine years.
Then, Mrs. Small, amid tears,
testified that she told her hus-
band of losing her heart to Mr..
Lack.
DIR. Small, a slim six-footer,
also wept while testifying in
corroboration of much of his
wife's story.
Psychiatrists for the defense
and prosecution gave conflicting
opinions as to DR.. Small's sanity
at the time Mr.. Lack was killed.

Russians Disclose
Scientific Posts
IN Alaskan Region
By the Assoei.,,sd p,s.s

MOSCOW. July 1.-THE Rus
slams disclosed today they are
maintaining scientific stations"
on two floating ice islands in
the polar region north and
northwest Of Alaska.
The Soviet news agency Tass
said teams on the ice floes are
taking depth measurements Of
the Arctic Ocean, studying at
nlospheric conditions and max
Ing geological surveys Of the
seabed. The scientists were flown
to their drifting bases last spring
by heliocopters.
Tass said one Of the stations
was located q few days ago at
88 degrees, 2 minutes North lati-.
tude and Isl degrees, 40 minutes
West longitude. This would put
it north Of Alaska and within
100 miles Of the North Pole.
Northwest Of Alaska.
The other was pinpointed at
u degrees, % minutes North
latitude and 174 degrees, 20 min
utes East longitude. This is
above Siberia and about 500
miles northwest of Point Barrow.
Alaska. 1t is $50 miles from the
pole.
The report said the Arctic
teams are living in tents and
prefabricated houses heated with
coal and gas. Fresh vegetables.
letters, packages and newspapers
are being flown to them regu-
larly.
The bases were said to be
equipped with tractors. motor
cars and windmills. Their radio
stations are keeping contact
with the Soviet mainland.
Tass said the Soviet Academy
OF Science and v. Burkhanov
chief administrator of the North
ern Sea Route, had taken a hand
In establishing the stations
which are under the Command
OF two specialists in geographical
science. They were Identified as
A. F. Treshnikov and e. I. Toll
stikov.
Extensive Research.
So far extensive research has
been carried on in the Central
Arctic near the North Pole. the
submerged Lomonosov Mountain
Range and the continental shelf
OF the Chukotsk Sea, it was said,
Ihls body of water-also known
as the Chuckchee or Chukchi
Scales at the north end of the
Bering Strait. The continental
shelf forms its northern bound-
ary.
western observers looked on
the establishment of the ice foe
bases as another move in the
Soviet-United States contest for
supremacy in the Arctic-the
shortest air route between Russia
and North America.
The United States Air Force
maintained teams on a floating
Ice sheet known as Fletchers
Island for two years to make
weather observations, but the
last mine men were withdrawn
last May Is.
No Longer Useful.
The Air Force. in announcing
the withdrawal, said the station
had ceased to be useful because
1t had drifted to q point only
60 miles from the permanent
weather station alert" on the
northernmost tip of Ellesmer
Island, Canada. It was said the
Ice foe might be reoccupied later
Shortly before the station was
disbanded. a Soviet transport
plane swooped low over the in
stallations and took photographs
the Air Force said. No protest
was made.
The United States considers
the Arctic Ocen free to all, like
the open seas, and has never
recognized an old Soviet claim to
tne region between Russia and
the North Pole.
