OWN KIDNAP PRUBE; Not Satisfied With Story Told | by Buck—Grand Jury to Meet May 15. I!ll"nmuhd Press HARWICHPORT, Mass, May 10.— Chief of Police Emulous E. Hall of Harwich—dissatisfled with the detalls of | Margaret “Peggy”’ McMath's kidnaping as re-enacted by Kenneth Buck—todsy | pursued his own investigation. Meanwhile, Barnstable County offi- cials arranged for the convening of a | special session of the grand jury May 15 to hear evidence in the case. Hall sald he discovered Peggy had not remained in that section of the low, dirty, back-street cellar pointed out | Kenneth during his re-enactment of the kidnaping Sunday. | He said he had secured from Ken- neth a more ‘“complete confession, which differed in some respects from | the one Buck originally made to State officlals.” | And the chief hinted at seeking warrant for “a man who might be con- | nected with the plot as an accessory | after the fact.” Hall yesterday visited the back street where the child stayed for two nights | after her kidnaping on May 2. He searched the cellar thoroughly and later | snnounced his dissatisfaction with Ken- | neth’s re-enactment of the abduction. | ‘The order to convene a special ses- | sion of the grand jury was issued last night by Judge Edward F. Hanify of Fall River and was announced by Dis- trict Attorney William C. Crossley from his office in that city. | Crossley said Kenneth and Cyril Buck, | Harwichport brothers now held in| $100,000 each in Barnstable County | , would be brought to trial “as| promptly as the law allows.” in the event the grand jury returns indict- . | ments. | Kenneth, charged with kidnaping and extortion, and Cyril, charged only with | extortion, both pleaded not guilty when arraigned Monday. Plans for defense of the brothers were uncertain. Attorney James F. Kiernan, after & conference at the jail yesterday, sald he would not take the case of Kenneth, but that he might defend Cyril if statements he made were corroborated by Neil C. McMath, father of Peggy. by SEES PARLEY SUCCESS* CHICAGO, May i0 UP).—Alden G. Alley, history professor at Dana Col- lege, Newark, N.

Tells Chums of Kidnaping EENSURE BY BUUR PEGGY McMATH BACK AT SCHOOL. SEEN FOR LOWELL Federal Judge Accused of Prejudicial Remarks in Another Case. By the Associated Preas. Threatened with impeachment be- cause he freed George Crawford, col- ored, wanted in Virginia for murder, Federal Judge James A. Lowell of Massachusetts seems destined to be re- buked by the Supreme Court on an entirely different score. In arguments before the high court yesterday in the appeal of Angelo Quercia of Somerville, Mase, it was stated that during instructions to a jury in his court Judge Lowell sald of the defendant: “He wiped his hands during the testi- mony. It is a rather curious thing, but that is almost always an indication of lying. Why it should be so we don't know, but that is the fact. I think every single word that man said, except when he agreed with the Government's testimony, was & lie.” Suggests New Trial. ‘The court stopped the argument right there and turned to ask former Solic- itor General Thacher (still acting while | his successor prepares to assume his | duties) what he thought about this. Thacher suggested the defendant | should have a new trial and spoke at length about the necessity of fair, un- biased instructions being given jurors. Otherwise, he said, the institution of jury trial is threatened. Quercia was convicted in Lowell's co:\rt of violating the Harrison narcotic act. Even if the court does Dot make any punishing remarks in its decision on the case, jurists consider that re- mand of a case on such grounds is outright censure, In the Crawford case the judge granted a habeas corpus writ on the grounds that, since Virginia does not permit Negroes to sit on juries, send- ing the man back for trial would be » waste of time and money, for the Supreme Court would reject the verdict on_ constitutional grounds. ‘This created such s furor that Rep- | resentative Howard W. Smith of Vir- ginia, proffered formal impeachment charges in the House. They were re- ferred to a committee that is to investi- | it was decided at the closing session of | gate. Meantime an appellate court in | Massachusetts has the Crawford case. Crawford is wanted for trial on a | charge of murdering Mrs. Agnes Boe! Iisley, soclety woman, who was f | beaten to death in her home. l; Continue Treaty.
