EARL NELSON ONCE INMATE ~ OF AN ASYLUM Defense Counsel Pleads Insan- ity in Trial of Accused Strdngler Murderer Winnipeg, Nov, 1.—(AP)—Recorda| showing that Earl Nelson, charged with the murder by strangulation of a@ woman and a 14-year-old girl, had been an inmate of a California asy- lum, today were in the hands of the defense counsel to substantiate @ plea before the court that the ac- cused man is insane. The specific charges against Nel- son at the opening of his trial were the outgrowth of the slaying of Mra, Emily Patterson, 27, and Lola Cow- an, a school girl, here last June, F although he is accused of strangling to death more than a half dozen women in the United States and Canada. . Murders Were in June The body’ of Mrs, Patterson was found under a bed in her home June 9. The next day tho body of the girl was found under a bed in a downtown rooming house. A week later a suspect was ar- rested at Wakopa, Manitoba, a few miles from the international boun- dary, but shortly after he was placed in jail at Killarney, he escaped by picking the jail locks with a boken nail file. On June 16, a posse of citizens surrounded the little town of Kil- larney and, after a special train of police: arrived from Winnipeg, Nelson was arrested, Accused of Other Stranglings Subsequently Nelson was accused of a chain of stranglings that ex- tended from the west coast of the United States to the eastern states, The first to be reported was the murder of Mrs. Florence Monks at Seattle in 1925. The next were ree ported from. Portland, Ore.; Bur- Mngame, Calif, and San Fancisco. Others were reported from Chicago and in all of them the manner of| cam committing crimes and disposal of bodies was the same. other than to-say that “It is all terible mistake.” His wife and an aunt, Mrs. Lillian Fabian, of Palo Alto, Calif., were here for the trial.

Chicago, Nov, 1.—(?)—Lax en- forcement of the dry laws in Cook county is responsible for increased crime and the needs for larger prison accommodations rather than prohibition itself in the opinion of Judge Andrew A.

His supporters at home add- ed other strokes to the canvas until a comprehensive picture of British propaganda has been printed. Campaign to be Nationwide Addressing the Greater Toledo club, Mayor Thompson said he planned to make a nationwide cru- sade of his fight against British pemaeanes ‘ “We are going to straighten out the affairs of the schools in Chicago and we are going to make our cam- paign nationwide,” he asse1 rging the election of “Ameri irst” delegates to the national con- ventions of both parties, Mayor Thompson said: “I already sense the hand of Wall street and the in- ternational bankers in the handling of the lineup for both big party con- ventions.” And, while the mayor was cam- paigning for “America First” in Ohio, his platform was applauded at a meeting of the American Associa- tion for the Recognition of the Irish Republic.

Along the coasts of Galway and Mayo, weird tales of that storm, which claimed from 60 to 70 lives, were told. One ae last week, one of the tales said, a phantom ship followed a fishing boat from Inishbofin, Gal- way. The wraith vessel refused to answer any hail but remained by the seamen throughout the night. This the crew interpreted as a warning of an impending disaster and declined to set forth again. Other similar stories were current among the su- perstitious folk. Warning Comes Too Late One actual warning, however, came too late. Father Quinn, parish priest of Lackan, one of the stricken villages in County Mayo, listening to his radio, heard a warning of the coming storm, He rushed to the shore to warn the fishermen. It nat too late, they had already set sail. irtually every breadwinner in Lackan was drowned. Too poor to buy -mot odern equipment, most fishermen along. these coasts use craft considered a poor refuge in a raging sea, Many of the impoverished fisher- men sacrificed their lives in vain at- tempts to save their nets. Priests pronounced _ conditional absolution for those who would nev- er return to their mourning families. About 45 of these ill-fated fisher- men were overtaken hy the sudden gale and dashed to death in sight of their homes as their wailing wives and children watched helplessly from the shore. Three fleets of boats were thus overwhelmed. At Least 17 Ships Lost In London, Lloyds have posted no fewer than 17 ships as_ casualties and it was feared that the count of these shipping losses was still in- complete. ff Another place which the gale hit hard was Fleetwood, although the loss of life there was far less ser- fous than in Ireland. This Lan- cashire town was cut off by the storm and the floods which followed it. It is without light, owing to the flooding of the electrical works. Business is at a standstill. Food supplies were obtained under the greatest of difficulties, as no trains have been able to reach, within four miles of the town and no tram or omnibus can move in the streets. The flood waters are not expected to re. cede for many days and boats ar the only means of transport. The 1,200 houses were damage there. Six persons lost their lives and hundreds of people in the low lying districts were driven from their home: Jauregui’s Fate Up to President of Bolivia La Paz, Bolivia, Nov, 1.—(#)—The president of Bolivia has before him ¥, a Blea to save See spurs ui from facing a fir! sql Which a death lottery condemned i, one of four men con- a ved ue aes 10 eee of ident Jose Manuel Pan- ao, is sentenced to be executed Fri- x delegation of 36 women visited President Hernando Siles, beseech- ing him to pardon Jauregui.
