The motion was based on the contention that Birger had just learned of confessions which Newman declared he made to a St. Louis news- paper reporter and to Sheriff James Pritchard of Franklin County. Attor- ney Charles A. Karch declared the Birger defense was ‘“‘surprised” to hear of Newman's admission and had had no time to get witnesses to com- bat his “confession.” Record Is Quoted. State’'s Attorney Roy Martin then arose and pointed to the.record of the trial in which Birger had made the “‘confessions™ of Newman the basis of & motion asking a separate trial from Newman’s. “And yet they say they are ‘sur- prised’ to hear that Newman has con- fessed,” Martin shouted. “I wouldn't be surprised if it were a move on the {)lnrt of the defendants to defeat jus- Martin denied that any confessions or admissions of complicity in the Adams case had been made to Sheriff Pritchard: He badked this statement with an affidavit by the sheriff. The jury was kept in an adjoining room during the arguments. —— Piggish Frogs a Puzzle. ! ¥rom the London Mail. Innocent, frogs that ate too much caused the mystery of long-lived am- phibians, according to William Boyd Dawkins, the Inglish naturalist. Finding of live frogs inside of rocks many years ago established the the- ory that the hoppers had lived there for centuries without food. Dawkins announced recently that frogs had no more chance of living while sealed up than men under such conditions. Eight of the frogs found ‘were inclosed in a casing of hard grid. stone, and geologists say there were no troga in the world when gridstone was formed. Dawkins surmised that the frogs, when little, crept into fissures and ate 80 many insects that they became so fat that they could not get out before the fissure was sealed by sediment. He declared the frogs thus fattened could live a year without food, and that the specimens were found before the year had expired. _— Young couples of Ampthill, England, whose marriages were delayed by lack of housing accommodations, are to be given first choice of houses to be erected by the city officials, A Food Product lMust be R ighf" To Continue 'Y in Dublic Favor- 'HIGH ROCK G!NGER ALE on im- || | Predicts 3d Term Move I |CLEVELAND FAVORS ST. LAWRENCE PLAN Tevelopment of Waterway In- dorsed by Chamber of Commerce Directors in Report. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, . July 21.—Diractors of the Cleveland Chamber of Com- merce, in a report issued yesterday ap- proved the proposed Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway project, which would transform this city into an|S$ ocean port doing a business of more than $170,000.000 annually. The report was drawn by the cham- ber's rivers and harbor committes after months of intensive study. It was submitted to Herbert Hoover, Secretary of €ommerce, who acknowl- edged it as a “constructive document that should be 'y helpful in develop- ing the project.” The report concurred in the findings of the International Joint Commission and the St. Lawrence Commission of the United States, which recommend- ed the improvement of the St. Law- rence River. The report showed that while the waterway would cost between $125, 000,000 and §$148,000,000, the expend- iture would be much less than the an- nual exports from Ohio alone, which totaled $171.450,18¢ last year. The St. Lawrence project has been under discussion since 139 by the United States and Canadian Govern- ments and by civic organizations of those municipalities that would be af- fected.
