Y— - o——] Second Section “ NEW BRITAIN HERALD Pages 15 to 28 NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1924, DEFENSE CLAINS MAJOR SHOTSELE Will Seek to Prove Cronkhite Was Not Murdered Tacoma, Wash,, Oct. 3.—The de- fense of Holand H. Pothier, charged with the murder &f Major Alexander P. Cronkhite at Camp Lewls In October, 1918, will be based on ex- pert testimony that Major Cronk- hite's wound was self-inflicted, it was indicated when his trial was re- sumed today. Decision of the defense to intros duce testimony of this character was' sald to have been prompted when physiclans who attended Major Cronkhite after he was shot gave sonflicting testimony as to whether the clothing of the officer contained powder burns. Major Henry Tucker of Phila- delphia, a physician, testified that here was a slight stain on the sieeve of Cronkhite's blouse which wmight have been a powder burn. Tucker testified similarly before the’ military board of inquiry at the time of the tragedy. Lieutenant Colonel William J. Howard of Whitman, Mass,, testified he found no powder burns or other stains when he examined the blouse at the time of the inquiry. Dr. George C. Kreutz of St. Louis, a regimental sergeant-major in the 213th engineers, to which all three principals belonged, testified that it wds his gun which Pothier carried on the day the major was shot, on the morning of October 26. Lieutenant Colonel Howard, sum- mary court officer, who investigated the shooting, testified he interviewed Pothier and Captain Robert Rosen=~ bluth, who is also charged with wmurder in conngction with the offi- cer's death. He stated that according to the story Pothier told him, Rosenbluth appeared after the first shot was fired by the major at a tobacco tin on a post. As Cronkhite fired his second shot Rosenbluth exclaimed ‘“you missed it,” the witness said. As Cronkhite fired the third shot he sald: “I hit it that time.” “Then the major cocked his gun and as he ralsed it, it slipped and twirled backward around his finger, dischar@ipg the fourth shot into his body w fatal effect,” sald How- ard in repeating the story he said Pothiér told him at the time of the investigation. The defendant further told him that he did not see the fourth shot fired and did not know the major was hit until Cronkhite exclaimed that he had been hit, Howard tes- itifled, Dr. Elmer Seabury, of Peorla, 1, the time of Major Cronk- hite's death a first lleutenant with the 213th engineers, testified yester- day he reached Major Cronkhite about the time he was breathing his He did not attend the major personally, he sald, and did not know for 10 or 16 minutes after he was the major reclining, supported by Captain Robert Rosenbluth, that he had been shot. James P. Crook, of New Bedford, another witness, who was a private in the 213th engineers, testified that he was marching at the head of the column when he heard two shots fired in the woods. Captain Rosen- bluth was five or ten feet ahead of the column, he satd, when the first shot was fired, and he declared that Rosenbluth started toward the place the sound was coming from immediately and was disappearing into the woods when the second shot was fired.

Beginning - Next Sunday WILL ROGERS Sunday World J—gerrrey REVOLUTIONS D A striking word, that—"Kevolution!" thought of violence, bloodshed, perhaps. suggests financial panics, profits or losses, Every revolution aroused by temporary emotion s deemed to failure. They have been the terrible, fruit- less revolutions of history. They died as they were spawn- ed—In tumult, leaving devastation in thelr wake. The revolutions that have brought permanent improve ment to the human racé have been Inspired by firm, sound principles of justice and right. They have brought man- kind a little nearer the liberty and freedom which s our birthright. They have been successful because right will | be successtul always in the end. At times they have been Dbloodless. No suffering has come as a price for success. Joy, gladness, happiness have heen the fruits, springing up everywhere to brighten the world, So, quietly, continually, have come revolutions in busi ness endeavor. “He Profits Most Who Serves Best,” and “Honesty is the Best Policy” have been the inspirations for the highest sort of selfishness—the sort of selfishness which would make honor, justice, square-dealing the uni versal creed. It is with this revolutionary spirit that a man or an organization determines to carry value-giving to the limit. It is this revolutionary spirit which prompts a man to scarch himself to see if he cannot better serve those whom he believes he has served to the best of his ability, It is this revolutionary spirit which has prompteg the proprietors of New Britain's Greatest Value-Giving' Store to make the material improvements and alterations now in progress and, far more important, to set practically new standards in value-giving to the people of this city. Such a revolution, founded on firm principles of right and jus- ilee, can not but succeed. We all will share the fruits. “THE I"AIR" .
