After a jury in federal court had deliberated seven hours and 35 min- utes, the Robinsons were acquitted of conspiracy charges Sunday in con- nection with the abduction of the Louisville society matron, wife of & wealthy oll executive. The trial last- ec six days. With: tears coursing down her cheeks, Mrs. Robinson greeted the verdict with the statement: “I don’t think I'll ever be this happy again.” “Thank God!” said Robinson, Sr. choking with emotion, as he wiped tears from his eyes. From Nashville came word that Mrs. Robinson had made plans to divorce the fugitive Thomas H. Rob- inson, Jr., sought as the man who abducted Mrs. Stoll, held her for six days in an Indianapolis apartment and released her after collecting ran- som of $50,600. Berry V.

The dead were Mrs. Blanche Nel- son, 48, of Woodscross, John L. East, 42, a farmer of East Bountiful, and his wife, Alice 38. Mrs. Nelson was slain Sunday night by s man who dragged her from his automobile near the East farm and who then shot the Easts to death be- cause they apparently had been un- willing witnesses to the fatal shooting. The killer sped away in his car and while passing through Bountiful, 10 miles ‘north of here, fired from his machine, one bullet striking George Reich, 23, of Salt Lake City, in the ‘head and critically wounding thm.’ Continuing his mad dash along the state highway, the slayer shot down Keith Secrist of Farmington as he walked along the sidewalk. The death car then vanished. Sheriff Joseph Holbrook and Salt Lake City police blocked all high- ways in the northern part of the state and Officer Sherman Falken- rath arrested a man driving a green sedan similar to one several witnesses saw in the vicinity of the East farm. The man said he was Leo Rutledge, 31-year-old: butcher, and came here last May from San Diego, Calif. Sheriff Holbrook said the ‘slayer drove to the vicinity of the East farm, dragged Mrs. Nelson from the ma- chine, shot her and crushed her head in some unknown manner and then turned on the Easts when he discov- ered they had witnessed the gruesome crime. East was shot through the body and Néead as he stood near an irrigation ditch where he had been working. Mrs. East was shot twice through the head while sitting in the family car waiting for her husband. HUNGRY ‘LONE WOLF?

By parity, it was explained, the AAA means the relation which exist- ed in the period 1909-1914 between the prices farmers paid for goods and the prices they received for products. Thus the parity price for crops changes from day to day. For exam- ple, it was explained, the parity price for corn Sept. 15 was 82.2 cents a bushel, The AAA determined that a farmer must receive 82.2 cents a bushel for corn on that date to ob- tain the same exchange value he would have had in 1909-1914. A calculation as of Sept. 15 show- ed that the price of hogs and the price of Maryland tobacco was 111 per cent of parity, officials said. The corn price was 95 per cent of parity, and the price of blue cured tobacco, 96 per cent of parity. Prices for other basic commodities were far be- low the goal sought by the AAA On Sept. 15, wheat was 862 cents a bushel, 76 per cent of the parity of 113,2 cents. Hogs were $10.29 per hundredweight, will} or 111 per cent of the $9.24 parity ton Child, Lost 17 Hours, Suffers Little From Ordeal ! fi i int i pil Al \ if i i g 3 i 2 i : ae | t iH i a ft f price.

This committee, the league’s big general staff for sanc- tions, formally approved the financial sanctions committee’s program on loan and credit embargoes aimed at suffocating Premier Mussolini’s war against Ethiopia. < : Two exemptions were included in the sanctions resolution as adopted—religious and humanitarian projects. That is, Red Cross funds and credits or the funds of re- ligious organizations are not to be cut off by the blockade aimed by the membership of the league against Italy. Aksum, the ancient sacred city of Ethiopia, has fallen be- fore the heavy-footed march of Premier Mussolini’s troops. | Without firing a shot, Italy’s northern army, dedicated te the task of establishing a new regime in northern Ethiopia, Sunday won the city reputed to have been once the capital of the queen of Sheba when the degiac or governor submitted to “|General Maravigna at Aduwa.

RECONSIDERATION OF FRAZIER ACT DENIED Supreme Court Action, How- ever, Does Not Affect New 1935 Measure Washington, Oct. 14—(7)—A plea that the framers of the constitution had no intention of “putting hobble- skirts on congress and hindering pro- gress’ failed Monday in obtaining su- preme court reconsideration of its unanimous decision last term hold- ing invalid the Frazier-Lemke five- year farm mortgage moratorium act. The court's action Monday did not affect the three-year moratorium act passed by congress late last session after the five-year legislation had been declared unconstitutional on the ground it deprived creditors of prop- erty without due process of law. Reconsideration was sought by At- torney General P. O. Sathre of North Dakota, Rep. William Lemke of that state and Edwin A. Krauthoff, coun- sel for William W.

British and French delegates arrived at this deci- sion Monday. The financial sanctions will be comprised of loan and credit measures calculated to make Mus- solini uncomfortable financially. To Be Mild at First The French have held out consis- tently against drastic measures until milder ones have had a trial, and the British were willing to postpone a de- cision on the graver questions until later in the week. While this advantage was accru- ing to 1 Duce by virtue of French diplomacy, Premier Mussolini at Rome was indicating a willingness to over- look League of Nations “injustices” and talk with France and Great Bri- tain about peace in Ethiopia and Italy's needs in East Africa. Government sources in Rome said a league mandate over four provinces of ancient Ethiopia, with Italy in full possession of the remainder of pres- ent day Ethiopia, could solve the problem to the satisfaction of Italy, the League, France, and Great Bri- tain, But at Addis Ababa Emperor Haile Selassie in an interview declared his unconquered warriors never would tolerate permanent occupations of Aduwa by the Fascists. Calls Italians Burglars “There can be no peace while a single Italian soldier stands on the soil of Aduwa or Aksum,” said the emperor. “We will not tolerate a bur- glar in our house.” ‘The major battle in the offing in southern Ethiopia was expected to occur when the emperor’s black hordes attempt @ flank attack on the south- ern Fascist forces. Observers said it probably would dwarf into insignifi- cance the capture by the Italians of Aduwa on the northern front. Confronting the Ethiopian army in the south is the southern Italian
