3DeIegafes 10 Fight
Maryland Law on
NewsreeI Censoring
BY Gene Goodwin
Stcr Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 12.-Three
members of the House of
Delegates plan an assault on
Maryland's movie censorship law
Monday in an attempt to exempt
newsreels from its jurisdiction.
They said they will attempt
to amend a movie censorship bill
up for final passage in the House
Monday night. The bill, which
has already passed the Senate,
would bring the Maryland law
into line with recent Supreme
Court decisions by repeating the
authority of State movie censors
to ban Inns they view as "sacri-
legiouS, indecent, inhuman or
immoral"
The House yesterday adopted
q favorable report of its Judi
ciary Committee on the censor
ship bill. When the bill was in
committee. an amendment ex-
empting newsreels was asked by
Sidney Lust, Washington area
movie exhibitor. but was rejected
by a majority of the committee.
All 3 Are Democrats.
The three House members who
said they will try to win ap-
proval of Mr.. Lust's suggestion
are Delegates jerome Robinson
of Baltimore and Carlton R.
Sickles and Lansdale G. Sasscer.
ir., of Prince Georges County, all
Democrats.
Sidney r. Traub, chairman Of
the State Board of Motion Pic
ture Censors. told the committee
earlier this week that newsreels
should remain under his agency's
jurisdiction because they bring
in about $4,000 a year in fees
paid by newsreel producers.
Mr.. Robinson said censorship
of neWSreels is the same as CEN
soring newspapers and is there
fore a violation of the constitu-
tional provision for freedom of
the press. He pointed out that
newsreelS shown on television are
not subject to Maryland's censor
ship and that Mr.. Traub himself
conceded that he had never had
to delete anything from news
reels in his term as chairman.
The bill before the Legislature,
which Mr.. Traub calls a "re-
affirmation of Maryland's belief
in censorship" would retain pro-
visions for State censors to ban
films they consider obscene or
those that tend to debase or
corrupt morals or incite to
crimes"
Other Developments.
In other developments before
the Legislature yesterday:
Delegate Margaret C.. Schwein-
haut. Democrat, Of Montgom-
cry, Joined with Mr.. Rob-
inson in sponsoring three bills
aimed at improving the States
handling of juvenile mat
ters The three measures, among
several recommended by the So
called Miles commission on iu-
dicial administration, would pro-
vide for:
/. Employment of masters or
experts to aid county Circuit
Court judges in dealing with
juvenile delinquency cases.
2. Appointment of a perma-
nent youth board to study juve-
nile delinquency problems.
3. Transfer of control of the
four State training schools from
the present independent boards
of managers to the State Board
of Public Welfare, along with an
increase from nine to 13 men,

SAUK CENTRE. MINI. Feb
12.-All IL cars of the Western
Star. Seattle-to-C Chicago passen-
ger train, were derailed last night
in subzero cold. injuring 40 Of
the 100 passengers. None was

Suspect in Staying
OF Coed Says Police
Punched Me Around
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Angelo
tMike) Morelli, 81, has sent a
note from jail charging that
"police punched me around"
while questioning him about the
murder Of Ann Yarrow, New
York University coed.
Soon after the Morelli letter
was published by the New York
Daily News last night. deputy
inspector Joseph Mclaughlin
issued an indignant denial of any
police beating.
II was with the fellow most Of
the time" Mr.. Mclaughlin
stated. He had marks on him
when I. first saw him. AS far as
anyone touching him-that Is
beyond belief"
Morelli. who is being held in
jail as a material witness in the
murder of the 23-year -old grad
uate student, had a released
prisoner deliver his letter to the
newspaper.
1.-THE reason I'm giving this
written statement to the press, /"
Morelli wrote, 'is that it's about
the only way I can inform my
friends and the public in general
that I'm not guilty"
Denies Knowing Slain Girl.
ITO begin with, I want to say
that I've never seen, heard or
talked with Ann Yarrow. =.
I'm innocent. No matter
what, I'll always maintain my
innocence. The police punched
me around and it's they who
caused the bruises on my head.
"They wanted me to change
my story, but ! didn't. It's the
only thing I can tell them. it's
the truth. They remind me. of
jackals capable of using psy-
chology."
Morelli said he is almost posi-
tive" that a letter, allegedly writ
ten by Miss Yarrow the evening
before her brutal death. does not
exist. This letter. police have
said. was sent to the girls father,
Dom Yarrow of Ventura. Calf,
and told about a date that night
with Mike" a friend OF her
friend Herta Payson.
Doubts Letter Exists.
GAS far as Ann writing her
father and saying she had date
with Mike. Herta's friend-and
I'm the only Mike Herta knows
I'm almost positive that no
such letter exists" Morelli said.
Police picked up Morelli last
Wednesday after Miss Payson
identified him as the Mike
mentioned in the letter. She was
requestioned yesterday about
Morelli's statement that he did
not know Miss Yarrow and never
saw her.
The slain girl was found
Strangled, stabbed 81 times with
a sharp knife and sexually as
saulted in Miss Payson's Lower
East Side apartment last Sunday.

Maid Admits Staying
Wealthy Matron in
California Mansion
By the Associoted Press

BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, Feb.
ia 25-year-old maid, en-
ployed at the home only three
days, admitted she bludgeoned
the frail wife of multimillion-
aire Samuel Hayden to death
with an ak, Police Chief Clinton
H Anderson disclosed today.
Mrs. Peggy King admitted
hacking Mrs Katie Hayden, IL.
repeatedly last Wednesday after
an argument over how to cut a
bone from a roast, Chief An
derson said. The maid, who is
colored, was booked on suspicion
of murder.
Autopsy surgeons estimated
Mrs. Hayden had been hit 20 to
80 times on the head and neck.
Brutality of the act led detec-
tives to believe the killer was
motivated by revenge or hatred.
Mrs. King, alone in the $780,
600 mansion with Mrs. Hayden
at the time of the tragedy, at
first told police that she discov-
cred Mrs. Hayden dying on the
kitchen floor when she sought
her to tell her about a telephone
call.
Breaks Down.
However, Chief Anderson said.
the maid broke down under in
tensive questioning last night.
And lie detector tests yesterday
"substantiated our belief that
she had been lying all along" he
added.
Lie detector tests resulted in
freeing Rutherford Leon Ben
nett, 80, fired last January 81
as cook and butler by Mr.. Hay
den, 70, wealthy real estate de-
veloper. Mr.. Bennett, who said
he had told the truth of his in
nocence lover and over again,
had been booked on suspicion of
murder shortly after the Staying
Chief Anderson said Mrs. King
told this story late last night:
Mrs. King and Mrs. Hayden
were arguing over the best way
to cut a bone from a round roast.
II had gotten the AK previ-
ously with which to cut the
bone. During the argument Mrs.
Hayden took the ak from me
and tried to show me how to
do it.
"She continued arguing with
me and I then took the ak from
her and struck her in the head"
Chief Anderson quoted her. "She
didn't fall after I struck her
once and then I struck her again
and again. I don't know how
many times I struck her after
that"
Ransacked Room.
After Mrs. Hayden fell. Mrs.
King said she stood over her
dazed. then went, upstairs and
ransacked the victims room.
II opened all the drawers in
the dressers and scattered clothes
over the floor to make it appear
that someone had broken in the
house." Chief Anderson said she
told him. ..
The telephone rang and Mrs.
King ran downstairs, answered
it, then went to the kitchen and
began screaming, she told the
chief.
The screams brought in six
men who were installing a sprin-
kler system on the new Hayden
estate. The couple had just
moved into the mansion last De-
cember.
Mrs. King told police she had
been employed at the Haydens'
only three days. Her nerves had
been on edge because her COM
mon-law husband of two years
had left her, officers quoted her.
In an attempt to uncover a
possible revenge motive, detec-
tives yesterday delved into Mr.
Hayden's past to learn if he
might have any enemies. Mr.
Hayden. at one time a wealthy
Chicago investment broker, said
he filed in bankruptcy in Los
Angeles in 1886. He borrowed
$4,000 and rebuilt a fortune he
estimated to be now worth So
pillion.
