Exfradition Efforts
In Triple Murder
Held Up for Study
BY the Assoeiaiod Press

FHANhFOHI, Germany, May
20. - The chief United States
prosecutor in Germany today
barred any attempt to extradite
James M. Leech on charges of
Staying three United States Army
officers in 1916 pending a per-
sonal "full study of the case"
This sensational turn in the
eight year old ax-and-arson
murder mystery came as Leech,
q former Army captain now liv-
ing in Lima, Ohio, issued a state
ment saying he did not kill the
three officers and that he doesn't
know who did.
Thomas Lancian of Boston,
Mass. the chief prosecutor,
stepped abruptly into the case
over the head of Deputy United
States Prosecutor William Can
field of Hampden, Mass, who
filed the charges against Leech
yesterday.
Full Study to Be Made.
Mr.. Garfield announced that
extradition papers had been di-
rected to the United States High
Commission headquarters at
Bonn. United States Judge De-
witt White of Morgantown, w.
Va, signed warrants for Leech's
arrest. But Mr.. Lancian, who is
Mr.. Canfield'S boss, announced
today that extradition would not
be sought until I make a full
study of the case"
Mr.. Garfield said yesterday he
had circumstantial evidence
which resulted in filing of the
charges against Leech for the
Staying of Maj. Everett S. Cof-
ran of Washington, D. c.. Capt.
Adrian L. Wessler Of New Ro-
chelle, NJ Y. and 1t. Stanley M.
Rosewater Of Omaha, Nebr., at
Passau. Germany. on January 7,
1916. The three were bludgeoned
to death with an ak and their
rooms were set af1re.
Mr.. Garfield said Leech was
angry because Maj. Cofran.
town commander of Passau. had
discharged a German civil girl
secretary with whom Leech was
friendly and that Cofran had
cancelled project funds to f.
nance her fathers business.
Lived Near Villa.
Leech. who was deputy town
commander in the postwar per-
iod under the American military
government, said in Lima today
1--WE all had German girl Secre-
taries who acted as interpreters;
we were friendly in our business
relations" But Leech declared
the girl secretary never came to
the house in which he lived.
Leech lived in a house aojoin-
ing the villa. Mr.. Garfield said
an ak belonging to the house
had been found in the river af-
ter the Staying. But Leech as
serted today three or four
other officers lived in that
house, too"
Leech was in custody for four
months while being questioned
in the case. Later, he said, he
was tranferred to another unit.
At the expiration of his over
seas duty he obtained an hon.
orable discharge.

ANSWER: AS early as even
900 B. c. E. Aramaic began to
get to be the popularity spoken
language even in Palestine. A
situation developed where He
brew became the litarary Ian
guage while Aramaic became the
oral tongue of the people. This
was due to the influence, both
directly and indirectly of the
Aramaeans. Their language,
Aramaic, spread widely, even
amongst the Hebrews. So great

QUESTION: What is the Tar
gum? Il. r.. Hollywood. Fla.l
ANSWER: The term "Targum, "
as it is generally used today, re-
fers to one of the translations of
the Bible. The word itself comes
from an old semitic root mean
ing to heap" or pile up" which
later came to be used for throw
ing" or setting one over river"
Thus, according to some opinions,
it developed that the translating
over from one language to an
other was characterized by the
word "Targum."
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1954-01-08

was this influence that even some
of the canonical books in the
Bible such as Daniel contain pas
sages in Aramaic. There thus de-
veloped tendency to familiarize
ones self with the Bible in a
language which was spoken
amongst the masses. This was
Aramaic. Thus the first Targums
was Aramaic. However, they were
oral as the Rabbits had prohibited
the writings of any translations to
the Bible since their texts might
be afforded the sanctity of the
original Hebrew and soon come
to replace them. Also, there was
no real standard translation into
Aramaic until the Targum called
Onkelos came into being.
- 8 #*
QUESTION:: What is the Tar
gum Onkelos"?
ANSWER: The Targum Onkelos
is the most official of the Aram-
aic translations of the Bible. Its
author is supposed to be Aquila,
the prosylite. This is the official
translation of the first section of
the Bible, the Five Books of
Moses, or the Pentateuch. It's
composition took place in about
the first and second centuries of
the common era; although the
scholars claim that it's form be-
came final in the third century.
Some call this Targum the "Tar-
gum Babli' or the Babylonian
Targum. So accepted was it that
it became commonly referred to
as ''our Targum." In view of the
fact that Aramaic translations
existed at least in oral and I'M
official forms before this Targum,
this Targum might be a final re-
suit at an effort to render the
Bible in form both readable and
acceptable to the average layman.
So important was this Targum
considered, that even to this day
a religious Jew is required to
read the weekly portion of the
Bible. in. this form besides read
ing it in the original Hebrew
twice.

Take end-plays, for example.
Some hands involving end-plays
really play themselves. Look
at today's hand. Mr.. New. the

lead was the nine of spades. Mrs.
Keen won with the queen and
ace and put dummy in with
third lead Of the suit.
Now Mr.. New was completely
unconscious of the fact that he
had q pretty fair chance for his
contract. He was sure he would
have to lose two diamond tricks
for down one.
He took three rounds of
trumps. Next he cashed the ace
and king Of clubS-only because
he wanted to put off until last
the sad moment when he would
have to break diamonds.
But when he led the ace of dia-
monds and followed with the
deuce, something happend. The
eight was played from dummy,
Mrs. Keen won with the queen
and at this point the defense
was through.
Mrs. Keen had only black cards
left. She returned club and
Mr.. New, still wondering why
somebody hadn't cashed the king
of diamonds, had sense enough
to discard the trey of diamonds
and ruff in dummy. Obviously.
1t wouldn't have helped for Miss
,Brash to play the king on the
second diamond lead, as that
would have dropped her partners
queen and made dummy's jack
good.
OF course. I recommend that
you consciously do the things Mr..
New did on this hand. Note that
he picked up the opposing
trumps, leaving at least one in
his own hand and dummy. Note
also that he stripped his own
hand and dummy of all other
side suits before throwing Mrs.
Keen in with a diamond. That
made sure that she would have
no safe return.
