Aug. 6 () — The curiosity of one lone woman ahong thousands who hurried through the subway station at city hall revealed | » police one of the strangest mur- ler mysteries in years. Deep under the earth, the death- dealing shots hushed by the rattle of passing trains and the bustle of lurrying throngs, a mother of three was shot to death under eir- cumstances which have completely mystificd police. Miss Sarah Lipschitz, 18, an inglish :r to Russian immi- its. had stopped in the woman's wshroom of the station to powder lir nose when she observed a wom 's foot protruding at an wkward angle from beneath the oor of a locked compartment. She called the attention of sev- «ral dther women to it, but they hrugged their shoulders and hur- vied on their way. Miss Lipschitz inally notified a special policeman. “hen as the policeman searched fruitlessly for a nickel to open the door. she produced a coin, opened he door and found the body of a woman shot through the breast. After considerable investigation, police identified the woman as Mrs. FEmma Weigand. 39, a milliner, who resided in the Bronx with her mother, Mrs, Frieda Ahles. At first it was thought a case of suicide, but no pistol was found and further investigation showed the woman had been slain in an compartment and her body carried to the one in whigh it. was found. A crimson stain at the base of the marble wall of the first booth and a hole in the back convinced police the murder had been committed there and that at least two shots were fired. The body was found at 11:45 a. m.. yesterday during the height of the early noon hour rush, and a check by police convinced them the shooting must have taken place within the 30 minutes preceding. Mrs. Weigand was married 1§ Weigand, a They separated vears ago. Police questioned the husband and later announced he had established a satisfactory alibi. Mrs. Weigand had left home at 9 a. m. to take her daughter, Doro- thea, 8 years old, to a hospital for removal of her tonsils. She had left the child at the was on her way home met her death.

The court submitted the case to a group of six attorneys, who decided by a vote of 5 to 1 that the Anti- Saloon league leader was guilty of contempt as charged. In the report Schumaker charged inefilciency to Gilliom's office in the matter of handling appeals to the supreme court from liquor law violators. Schumaker wae quotcd 18 saying “a majority of the su- preme court at least liberal in its sentiment.

That is the rule announced for his court to follow, regardless of its oath to support the federal and state constitutions. or a failure of this court to comfort itself, the members there- of, are referred to the fate of one of the present judges who was up for reclection In 1924.

These statements are false, “It would be monstrous if volitical party or any body or association of people, baving the power to elect or defeat judges, could control or dictate decisions of courts.” Martin was cited for contempt for his participating in ordering, publication of the repor | as the any AT THE STRAND One of the finest hills of the sea- son is booked into the Strand for the week beginning tomorrow with a complete change of program on { Thursd The film attraction for the first four days beginning Sun- v is “The Tender Hour,” starring' Billio Dove and Ben Lyon.
