DILL SAYS DIVORCE CHARGES HEARSAY Testifies Harmony of Home Broken by Wife’s Criticism of Roosevelt. ¥y the Associated Bress. SPOKANE, Wash, June 30— Former Senator C. C. Dill admitted under cross-examination in his con- Pested divorce trial yesterday he had pever seen evidence to support his eharge his wife, the former Rosalie Jones, was a “filthy housekeeper” and buried dead dogs in her yard. Details in his complaint, he said, were based on information supplied by servants and friends. He explained he had not lived with the former suffragette leader since 1833. LY Says Lawn Dying. In direct examination Dill dis- tlosed he ordered Mrs. Dill “to get out” of their Spokane mansion last Summer. He returned home, he said, from Washington, D. C. to find the lawn nearly dead from lack of water and to learn Mrs. Dill had written to his parents about him. “She informed my mother I wanted ¥o divorce her and marry some high school girl,” Dill testified. “When I talked to her about it, she admitted it and said she had written because she wanted my mother to influence me. “‘You are the most cruel character T have ever met,’ I told her. ‘This is the end.’” Nomination Started Trouble. Caustic remarks against President Roosevelt caused his first real domestic split, Dill said It began, he said, with an out- burst at the Chicago Democratic con- vention in 1932, when Mr. Roosevelt was nominated. After that, he testi- fied, his wife never lost an opportunity to criticize the President and his policies. It also was her attitude, he said, which caused him decline to seek Te-election to the Senate in 1934. “I couldn't face the people of this Btate for re-election with them think- ing that Mrs. Dill was a Progressive,” he declared. “She had crazy ideas about politics.” When they married, he added, he got the impression she was an admirer of Franklin D. Roosevelt. “She didn't like the Theodore Roosevelt family— their estate and the estate of Mrs. Dill's family were adjoining,” he said. | Cites Turn Against Roosevelt. “She thought Franklin D. Roose- velt was all right until some time before the convention, when she in- vited him to make a speech over a national radio hook-up she was ar- ranging for the Peace League. “I had advised her—or suggested— ghe not embarrass him by asking him to make the speech, but she did. He declined with some polite excuse and after that she had no use for him.” When President Roosevelt visited the Grand Coulee Dam in Central Washington, Dill said he was afraid to have Mrs. Dill at his side “I didn't want Mrs. Dill in the presidential party because I didn't know what she might say about the President,” he added.

TUESDAY, DEAN FACES LIFE INPOOLEMURDER Pleads Guilty to Kidnaping and Slaying as Black Legion Member. 2y the Assoctated Press. DETROIT, June 30.—Terrorists of the Black Legion soon to be tried for kidnaping, conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to incite riot may find | their principal accuser a life-term convict. Dayton Dean, whose willingness to relate the activities of the hooded order has aided the State to build cases against nearly 50 persons, plead- ed guilty late Monday to the kidnap- ing and “execution” of Charles A. Poole last May 12. Probation Report Awaited. The confessed “trigger man” faces a life sentence. Formal pronounce- ment awaits completion of a proba- tion report, expected in a week. Then prosecutors expect to use him as a witness in forthcoming trials. The death of Poole, young W. P. A. worker, faisely accused by the Black Legion of beating his wife, first brought the raids of the night riders into the open. Dean and 14 others were charged | with kidnaping and murder. The calm but talkative Dean told investigators | of death plots against political foes of the secret society, of floggings and | beatings, of “torch” squads detailed to burn homes of suspected Commun- ists. After showing his first trace of nerv- ousness in pleading guilty yesterday, Dean told the Detroit Civil Serv Commission that “possibly a hundred” | policemen were members of the hooded | ““NOW...

Voisine, president of In- dustrial Ecorse, whose home was bombed last Summer. Asa result Jesse J. Pettijohn, Ecorse Township clerk, and Lawrence Madden, steel worker, were held for trial under bonds of $50,000 each.

Lupp, sr., Black Legion recruiting of- ficer, and Harvey Davis, accused of leading the Poole “execution party.” D. C.
