[===] NEW BRITAIN HERALD NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1928.—EIGHTEEN PAGES SLAYER PREPARED 70 SHOOT FAMLY Extra Shotgun Shells Found in Andrews' Goat Pocket HATED HIS FATHER-IN-LAW Bristol Murderer of Ohild and For- mer Wife Contemplated Commit- ting Suicide Several Months Ago ‘When Funds Were Low. (Special to the Herald) Bristol, Oct. 3 — That Howard L. Andrews, building contractor and former school committeeman, who murdered his divorced wife and five year old daughter in front of their home on Wolcott street Tuesday morning and then committed sui- cide, had considered taking his own life several months ago, was indi- cated by a statement made by him at that time in the office of a local attorney. He intimated that he would take such a course in the event of financial reverses and it is understood that he was recently on the verge of bankruptcy. At that time Andrews contended that only a brave man could kill himself, on which point the lawyer disagreed with him. Andrews cited the cuse of a friend who, afflicted with an incurable disease, had com- mitted sulcide by shooting. Unlike Andrews, however, his fricnd died without the taint of murder. Might Have Plotted Family Doom In the opinion of the local police, Andrews set out from his home, lo- cated only about 200 yards from where his wife had been living with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gus- tafson of Wolcott street, since her divorce last December, prepared to murder not only his wife and child, but also his wife's parents and other they appeared on the scene. This conviction is strengthened by the| tact that, in addition to the four | chells in the chambers of the two double-barreled 12 gauge Pavker | guns which he carried in the car, he had four additional shells in the pocket of his coat. Since the di vorce decree he had not concealed his hatred for his father-in-la who, he often stated, was responsible tor his marital troubles.

Later when he was defeated, he opposed bitterly the attempts of the new committee to provide a new school- house for the district and after his appeal to the local board of edu- cation had met with failure, he then took the matter up with the state board of ecducation. At a meeting of that body in this eity, his attempt to prevent the erection | of the new school on the site pro-! | (Continued on Page 15.)

Ilmme- diately after the roll call, giving Durant the nomination by a 12 to 11 vote, the Hall faction declared they would sech redress by asking for an injunction to forbid the state secretary to accept Durants’ nom. ination as final. Yesterday, after the convention broke up, rumors were prevalent among the delegates of the Hall sup- porters that they had been wronged and various means of holding up the nomination of Durant were dis- cussed. As the day went on how- ever, they gradually gave in to the nomination and decided Durant had | received a very lucky break. Dur- ing the evening when Lieut. ()m‘.' Brainard signed the official certifi. cate of nomination, all hopes ol | protest to the courts melted away and the Durant faction were jubilant | over the success they had achieved.

Rome, Oct. 3 (M—Surrounded by a little group of intimate friends iand in the greatest simplicity, Gene Tunney, retired heavyweight cham- plon, and Miss Mary Josephine Lau- der, of Greenwich, Conn., were mar- ried today at the Hotel Russie, Two salons of the “royal apart- ment,” normally reserved for visit- ing sovereigns, were used, one for the civil ceremony which was per- formed by Signor Bro:xerio, a lead- ing fascist, and the other for the religious ceremony performed by Monsignor Joseph A. Breslin of the American College in Rome and one time parish priest of the Tunney family in New York. Off on Honeymoon After the ceremony a luncheon at which twenty-five guests were serv- ed, it was announced that the cou- ple planned to leave soon by auto- mobile for an unrevealed destina- tion on their honeymoon. Miss Lauder, who is wealthy and |socially prominent, w:.s dressed in mauve velvet trimmed with lace. She wore a silver net over her hair which gave her tme appearance of a medieval chatelaine, Tunney wore 'a blue sack suit which brought out his physique strikingly, a black and white tie, white spats and black shoes. Setting is Beautiful The famous Roman cerulean blue sky was at its best for “Polly” Lau- der's bridal day and just when Tun- ney was putting the ring upon her finger a ray of sunlight shot |through the window of the royal sa- | |lon making it glitter for all the witnesses to sec. As the religious ceremony was finished Tunney kiss- |ed his bride and then Mrs. Lauder, |his mother-in-law, . The walls of the room were hung with old red damask against which | masses of gorgeous white roses stood out effectively.

New York, Oct. 3 (I—It's the day | | before the world series, but Miller | | Huggins would be just as satistied if | |it were the day before Christmas. Baseball's world's championship will have been decided by then and Mil- ler's burdens will have been cast |aside for another year. Just now he's barely standing under the strain. Huggins Faces Hard Job | There are few to blame the pilot | of the American lcague champions | |of the last three years. Leading a squad of badly crippled New York Yankees into world's series play aguinst a team as worthy of respect as the St Louis Cardinals is no inecure for a man who takes his baseball as scriously as does Hug- gins. With a more or less definite an- nouncement from Huggins that Earle' Combs, injured centerfielder, | would see action in the big series only as a pinch runner, it at all, | Yankee stock dropped to a new low. The odds most frequently —quoted |now favor the Cardinals at 5 to 3. | There's little betting, most Ameri- partisans preferring U)‘ | can league | wait for even longer odds. ¢« Yanks Have Alibl To some observers it appeared | that the Yankees, in reality, are oc- | cupying a rather enviable position {and that Bl McKechnie and his | healthy Cardinals should be doing |all the worrying. In case of defeat, [the Yankee alibi is prepared in ad- however unintentional upon {th: part of the reigning world's| |champions. On the other hand, the | | Cardinals, at full strength, must win and even then may not get the credit due them. | Apparently the Cardinals realize it In their practice sessions at the | Yankee stadium where the serics| opens at 1:30 castern standard time tomorrow, they have had no time for jokes. They go about their busi- ness in grin earnest, impatient for actual conflict to begin. The Yanks on the other hand, act ay though they have not a care in the world. If Combs and I’ennock are out, and Lazzeri, Koenig and Ruth crippled, the America league titleholders appear untroubled just the same. Rival Managers Reticent The rival managers are reticent as usual as to their pitching selections fo: the opening game but they'll cross up a lot of expert observers if Waite Hoyt does not start for the Yankees and “Wee Willie” Sherdel fo: the Cardinals. Huggins and M Kechnie admit that these two are “naturals” for the first game but that the final selection will have to wait until game time. Possible Lineups If Sherdel pitches for the Cards, Ben Paschal will be in centerficld for the Yanks and “Jumping Joc” Du- gan, in all probability, at third.

HOOVER ADDRESSES NEW YORK VOTERS Says He Has Great Responsibil- ity and Needs Help 70 WASHINGTON |FLY ' Nominee Tells Young Men and Women Aim of Party Is to Meet Problems With Human Sym- pathy. Washington, Oct. 3 (P—The aim of the republican party was des- {eribed today by Herbert Hoover as one which must meet the great na- tional problem with a policy which comes of openmindedness and hu- | wan sympathy. | In an ad to young men and women voters of New York City who called on him at his headquarters he suid that “the party, to maintain it- | self in vigor, must be constantly re- plenished, not alone in members, but |in spirit and ideals.” | "It cannot rely for its mainte- | pance upon historic achievements, nor upon the long line of distinguish- | ed leaders who have left their tradi- | tions upon it.” he continued "It is {the traditions of their service, their ideas and policies which must link to the necessities of the present.” Mr. Hoover's address was in re- sponse to one by John McKee Strat- ton, chairman of the campaign com- | mittee of the New York Young Re- publican club, who flew here from {the Metropolis to present the half hundred men and women who had | preceded him by train. We are going to help you carry {New York state, and we salute you P + president of the United ratton said. In response to the greeting, ! Hoover said: | I am grateful for your coming. | Tsappreciate also your words of en- { couragement. It is most heartening to have busy men and women like | yourselves travel so long a distan | to tell me that you are with me in this campaign.

The America early today sent a wireless to the Associated Press say- ing that she was hurrying to the as- sistance of the Dutch steamer Ce- laeno, in distress in a northwest gale. It was apparently on this first er- rand of mercy that the America sighted the Fillett. Similar Names The American is a ship of the Ha- wailian American line. Because of the similarity of names It was at first believed that the steamer going to the aid of the Fillett was the United States liner America, which earlier today radioed the Associated Press that it was speeding to the as- sistance of the Dutch steamer Ce- laeno, in distress in a northwest gale, Compass bearings given by the American, showed that it was only about 200 miles east of New York, whereas the America was some 1,000 miles off Newfoundland.

YOUNG URGES GOLD | Tells Bankers They Should Not Be Depleted Too Rapidly Philadelphia, Oct. 3 (UP) — To | maintain sound banking conditions the Federal Reserve System has the duty “to shape its policy in such a | manner as to protect our gold re- | serves against too rapid depletion, Roy A. Young, governor of the fed- eral reserve board in Washington, told today's general session of the | American Bankers' association. | “During the past year, we lost 1$500.000,000 in gold, and no one | knows whether the redistribution of gold has been completed or whether the United States will lose additional gold to the rest of the world,” said the speaker. “Our gold reserves now are $1,000,000,000 in excess of | the legal requirements and it is for Ithe growing credit needs of the | country. | “The loss of gold for the past | year has been a desirable thing, not ;only from the point of view of those who recgived it and used it as the |basis of monetary reconstruction, but also from the point of view of |the United States. It has removed from foreign trade of the United States the risks arising from un- | stable exchanges and disorganized | conditions among its foreign cus- !tomers. | “The reserve system's respon bility is to make such use of its re- | serves as are in the interests of the ‘coumry in the broadest sense of the { word. This involves close attention [to developments both here and abroad and makes the framing of | tederal reserve policies not only a |matter of natlonal but of interna- | tional importance of the first magni- tude.” He said the federal reserve sys- tem also had a measure of responsi- | bility for the rapidity of the growth | of bank credit in thi kxperience of the lz demonstrated conclusively that bank Philadelphia, Oct. 3 (P —Charles credit frequently attains such mo- | mentum that it is some time before federal reserve policies become ef- fective, Young said. The federal reserve board gover- | nor said changes in the discount and open-market _ policies in the pur- | chase and sale of government securi- |tics were the means the ‘system em- | ployed toward easier or tighter con- | ditions in the money market, even | though the influence may be slow in opening. Thus he said it can, to & | certain extent, encourage or dis- | courage the growth of bank credit. “Since the federal reserve banks { furnish the basis of credit growth {in any field, whether it be commerce, inductry, agriculture or the trading in securities, the reserve system feels | concern about excessive growth in any line of credit,” said Young. “It |is impossible for a reserve bank to ear-mark the credit it releases, but when too rapid growth in any line of credit threatens to upset the fi- nancial structure of the country and make undue demands on the reserve funds, which should be conserved for tl.e legitimate growth of the (Continued on Page Eight) RESERYE PROTECTION ROY DIGKERSON S ATLIBERTY AGAIN Noted Prison Breaker Risks Lile Under Charged Wire ESCAPES IN ALABAMA Climbs Over Wall With Aid of Come foderates and Crawls Under High Tension Line to Freedom Once More. Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 3 UP—Roy Dickerson, bank robber of notorious reputation and golfer of undeter- mined skill today was playing his favorite role of fugitive from juse tice, The convict whose circus acrobas tics in prison breaks have gained for him a wide reputation, risked his life under a charged wire at Kilby prison last night and fled In a limousine with two fellow convicts and three outside confederates No Bloodshed True to his often repeated boast that he never had “put a man on the apot and never would,” there was n@ bloodshed. A stranger approached A. G. Riche ards, guard at a strategic corner of the “walls” at dusk last night withi word that he had been sent to rew lieve the guard. Instead of & promised note from the warden, & pistol was shoved at the guard. Twe other men overpowered Richards, and adhesive tape was stretched across his eyes and mouth, Scales With A rope was thrown over the wall from the outside, and Dickersow with Ivanhoe Silva, Birmingham bootlegger “king” and convicted of robbery, and Frank Cook, alias J, M.

Escapes In Los Angeles Captured in Los Angeles, he crawled through a ventilator to a Jail roof and escaped over bulldings. A year later he was surprised with the loot obtained in a jewelry rob. bery at Birmingham, and sent to Kilby prison. His wife meanwhile had been convicted and skl to prison as an accomplice in the bank robbery. 8he obtained a divorce after her release.

Gene came from behind to take the lead in the second nine, but the pic- turesque Barnes evened it up at the home hole. The pace was fast from the mew ment they left the first tee. On the opening hole, a 424 yard proposition with a par of four, both got dowm in birdie 3 for a half. On the next hole Barnes forged ahead with @& par 4 to Gene's 5.
