STATERESTS TS CASE AGAINST WARD (Continued from First Page) before a jury. n nu—l case Mills sald the jury fined the man but held, in point of law, that he could not be ad. judged guilty of killing the dog be. cause the animal had bitten him, Calls “Plot” & Fabrication, Ward's trial had opened today with [two of its expected thrills gone by and with much intérest hanging on Deputy Gen, George H, O'Nelll's dec- | laration that the prosecution would prove the story of blackmall given by the wealthy bank SON A8 A rea- son for the killing ‘pure fabri- cation'” and merely a means of g ting money from his father, George 8, Ward, Two Big Thrills, The two thrills came yesterday, One when Beryl «Curtls Ward, wife of the accused, took the atand and |told of her husband's return home on the night of the shooting., The other was when Mrs, Inez Pete mother of the slain ex-sallor, W called as & witness to tell that her son was “a good boy" and that despite his little brushes with the law and his in- abllity to hold a steady job he had | never been in serious trouble. Petera’ fath®r also testified. Sald Story Was False, It was during argument over the admission of cvidence of two letters written by Peters to his parents short- ly before he was killed that O'Nelll charged Ward's story of blackmall was false, The court ruled that the could not be admitted, O'Nelll said that the prosecution in- tended to show that “Clarence Peters was not the kind to blackmail or kil a man."” “He didn't carry a gun,” sald O'Nelll. “We'll prove that Ward's story of killing this man in self-de- fense was a pure fabricatlon, We'll prove that Ward's story of this black- malil plot was just framed as a means of getting money out of his wealthy father.” No Blackmail Facts. When Ward gave himself up to Westchester county officlals three days after the hody of Peters had been found he said in a statement submitted by counsel that Peters and two others comprised’® a gang of blackmailers who had been trying to get money from him. Since that day exact information as to what circum- stances of the blackmail plot were, what circumstnces left Ward open to blackmail or whether or not it was Ward or some other members of the family that was being blackmailed have been .lacking. The only definite legal hint as to what it could have been was made public last week when an affidavit made ten weeks after the killing by James Cunningham; racetrack follow- er, who was arrested as a material witness after his declaration that he knew the “inside” of the Ward case was read to the jury. Father Not Easily Fooled. George S, Ward, according to this affidavit was victimized, by his son who was used in a plot with “Ross” and “Rogers” the much sought black- “The son" received letters and telephones from these men, Cun- ningham swore, threatening ‘“moral imputation” and communicated the messages to his father.

EGGS OF DINOSAURS Those of Old Measured Five to Six Inches in Length, According to Dis- coveries of Asiatic Expedition, By_The Associated Press. Peking, Sept. 26.—Dinosaurs laid eggs five to six inches long. And they had nests like any gentle do- mestié fowl of today. The early beasts of Asia and Amer- ica were kin and roamed across the two continents on the land bridge that joined them in those remote times. These are some of .the discoveries advanced by the third Aslatic expedi- tion of the American Museum of Natural History on its rBturn here after five months on the Mon[ollnn plaing. Nine tons of fossils have been ®ol- lected and will be shipped to Amerlca. Henry Fairfield Osborne, paleontolo- gist, said the fossil beds found, in Mongolia were the largest known to science. Dr. Osborne and Roy Chapman An- drews, the naturalist, consider a spec- tacular feature of their discoveries the 25 fossilized dinosaur eggs which These are the first dino- saur eggs to be revealed to science. The eggs are elliptical, five to six inches in length, their shells now covered with a buff colored coating. Their age is estimated at 10,000,000 years, The explorers letters brought out 72 skulls and 12 complete skeletons of these “terrible lizards” as the two Greek ‘words forming the term dino. saur describe them. The expedition also found numer. | ous remains of mammals, principally |of a giant rhinoceros-like beast which is said to prove kinship among the carliest fauna of Asia and A_mertcn | sermon [ Rey.

FINDING NAME FOR TURKEY Constaptinople, Sept, 256—The ques- tion of the form and name of the new Turkish state which must be se tled before Turkey is able to resume full diplomatic relations with the rest of the world, is absorbing attention here and in Angora. It is virtually certain that Turkey will be declared a republic, the head of the government being either a esldent or a chief of state staff as Poland, The first occupant of the executive office is expected to be Mustapha Kemal Pasha, who in a re. cent interview said that Terkey was already a republic except in name and constitution, and might soon be- come even more democratic.
