[ TORCH MURDERER'S WIFE TELLS OF ILLS Describes Failure in Health After He Lost $25,000 Position: in Chicago. By the Associated Press. ELIZABETH, N. J, June 11.—Mrs. | Roselia McReady Campbell today told l & jury of the finsncial misfortunes and | ills of her husband, Henry Colin Camp- Chief of Chiefs I bell, before his slaying of Mrs. Mildred Mowry, a woman he married bigamous- 1y for a thousand dollars she possessed. Campbell has confessed he shot Mrs. Campbell and set her body afire on & lonely road near Cranford, Febru- ary 23. | Mrs. Campbell was the first defense | witness in her husband’s trial for mur- | der. After describing his treatment of | her as “wonderful” she told of the | failure of his health and her own ner- vous breakdown after he lost a position | in Chicago which paid him $25,000 a year. “He had headaches and the veins in his head would stand out like ropes,” she said | Campbell at one time in his career | posed as a physician, but his wife said | the only medical treatment she ever received from him was a drug tablet once for neuralgia George B. McMurray, one of several physicians who testified the prisoner | suffered from a poor heart, chronic | bronchitis, toxic poisoning and other ills, said he was sane, but had a “Physchopathic makeup.” MUSIC MARGARET DAVIS’' RECITAL. A very pleasant organ recital was given last night at Hamline M. E. Church by Margaret D. Davis, pupil ot the Hamline Schocl of Music and win- ner in the student organ group of the recent District of Columbia Federation of Music Clubs’ contest, assisted by Ethel D. Stickles, soprano, with Edith B. Athey at the piano. Miss Davis is a musical, but not a powerful, player. The conception given to each of her pieces was thoughtful and sincere and her phrasing good, but one felt a slight immaturity in her ex- ecution. With most young soloists, the technical equipment”is developed be- yond the interpretive ability, but Miss Davis needs a more vigorous execution to bring out the musical qualities she already possesses. Consequently, she was best in the dreamy “Cantabile” of Cesar Franck, the “Carrillon” of Eric Delamarter and the “Canon” of Robert Schumann, the last named being both charming as a piece and sympathetical- Iy played by Miss Davis. Ethel Stickles has a beautifully mod- ulated and well controlled soprano. Its purity was particularly appropriate to the classic character of her songs. How- ever, a dash of gayety would have made “Nymphs and- Shepherds” still jmore successful. ‘The program was well chosen, not too long and a word of praise must be given to the annotations. With the, dates and a short and pertinent paragraph regarding his work following each com- poser’s name, it was of interest to both layman and musician —M. W. G. MRS. MANNING'S “HOUR OF music.” An audience of 400 gathered last night at the Mount Pleasant Congrega- tional Church in response to_invita- tions issued by Mrs. Routt Johnson Manning to hear her young pianists in “An Hour of Music.” The program opened with a couple of selections played by Casson Crit- tenden. They were Spindler’s arrange- ment of excerpts from Wagner's opera “The Flying Dutchman” and “Old Mis- sion Chimes,” by Preston. In the next group Amanda Chittum played “Spin- ning Wheel,” by Litolff, and “La G zelle,” by Josef Hofmann. Clark Haw- kins played preludes by Wright and Rachmaninoff. The child pianist, Con- stance Russell, who has played over the radio with remarkable success and response from audiences, gave Chopin’s “Polonaise, Opus 26,” “Etude, Opus 25,” and “Nocturne, Opus 9,” and “Sona in F Minor” (presto finale), by Bes thoven. The concluding group was presented by Jeanette Rod, who gave Sinding’s “Rustle of Spring,” Lieu- Philip T. Bell, chief of the Kearney, N.

The fourth group in this series of recitals will be held at 2900 Connecticut avenue June 29 at 8 p.m. KING GEORGE STROLLS IN CASTLE GROUNDS Monarch Takes First Walk Since Relapse—Health Now Called “Good.” By the Associated Press. ‘WINDSOR, England, June 11.—King George yesterday afternoon took his first walk in the open since development of an abscess in the old incision in his lung forced him back to bed. He left the royal apartment and strolled about enjoying the warm sunshine for half an hour in the castle grounds. His phy- sicians have approved that he go out daily now when the weather is fine. ‘The first medical bulletin in several days was issued this morning and said: “His majesty the King is making prog- ress. The abscess at the incision in the lung is diminishing in size. His gen- eral health is good.” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY JUNE 11, 1929. ASKS STANDARD CODE OF INSURANCE LAWS Senator Capper Presents Compila- | tion for District Prepared by American Bar Association, A standard code of insurance laws, worked out by the American Bar Asso- clation, was proposed for the District yesterday afternoon by Chairman Cap- per of the Senate District committee. The Senator introduced the bill and had it referred to the District commit- tee, but it will not be considered until the regular session in December. Congress has been considering new | insurance legislation for Washington {for several years. A bill made some headway in the last Congress, but did not get through the Senate. This is the first time that the Bar Association's model code has been introduced. According to Thomas M. Baldwin, District insurance commissioner, this code would give the local Insurance De- | partment more regulatory powers and | would cover the subject thoroughly. TEXTILE STRIKERS FACE FATAL SHOOTING CHARGE G Sy | Slaying of Police Chief in Riot nt{ North Carolina Plant on Hearing Thursday. By the Associated Press. GASTONIA, N. C. June 11.—More | than 60 strikers and strike leaders, members of the National Textile Work- |ers’ Union, will face preliminary hear- | ings Thursday in connection with the |death of Police Chief O. L. Aderholt |and the wounding of three other offi- | cers in a battle Friday night between | police and armed guards at a tent colony of striking employes of the Loray mills here. Yesterday the situation was quiet. Police headquarters reported no legal | moves had been made to release any of the persons under arrest. It was stated, however, that a number of the strikers | held probably would be released if it was shown they had no actual connec- tion with the fight. Fred Erwin Beal, Southern organizer | for the National Textile Workers Union | who is charged with complicity to murder, was located last night at_the Union County jail, Monroe, N. C. ' Beal was removed from Gastonia by officers, | who said they feared mob violence. He refused to discuss the shooting of Aderholt, City Council today ordered the tented colony taken down, due to the cost of maintaining a guard at the spot. % PALAIS ROYAL sunny beaches are beckoning— figures in suits like these will dot the sands New Bathing Suits for 1929 Mermaids New models, of all wool, close knit, in gay colors or dark s hades A diversified assortment of completely finished art models riced almost as low as unfinished pieces June Sale of Finished Art Models Hundreds of items marked to sell for less than usual—and just in time for gifts for showers, graduations, June brides, wedding anniversaries or for prizes for Summer bridge parties.
