Reporter at Front When He Has to El Paso, Tex., March 8 (M—His- tory records that a famous Roman ruler fiddled while Rome was burn- ing, but his nonchalance was no greater than that of Lester B. Sut- cliffe, a reporter for the El Paso, Texas Herald today in Juarez, who though bullets from revolutionary rifles were flying about him thought | only of the lack of cream for his morning coffee. Concealed in an adobe house in Juarez directly ‘n the line of op- posing fire, Sutcliffe spent the night an} early morning giving telephone reports on the progress of the battle for possession of the city to the edi- torial rooms of the Herald. With a pair of telephone earphones on his head, Sutcliffe, from his vantage point on the floor directly beneath a window which gave him a com- manding view of the hostilities kept his office constantly advised of the situation. There was little doing during the night. With the coming of dawn and the opening of hostilities with a vengeance, Sutcliffe began to take notice of things. Put-put-put-put, came the sound of a machine gun to his cars. “Things are flying rather thick and fast here,” Sutcliffe flashed his office. Dadges Shower of Tead “The first is increasing—the rebels are advancing, he cried into his phone. The sound of the firing in- erassed in intensity. From his “box seat,” Sutcliffe could scc the rebels Cusses Rebels Take Coffee Black advancing. Now and then a cloud of dust passing his window carried to him the knowledge that his “stronghold” was within the range of the gun fire. “If you can't | swear,” hear me, don’t ." he told R. E. Lepley, news editor of the llerald. who was in the newspaper office taking Sut- cliff’s account of the battle. “Here comes the milk man” shouted Sutcliffe through the phone, “now for our morning coffee.” The milk man approached the | house from his wagon, which he left |parked in the street. As he ap- | proached closer. the women residents of the house started to the door to take the delivery. At the same time machine gunners got the range of the house and “let 'em have ft.” The milk man started to fee, drop- ping the cream meant for Sutcliffe's coffee. The horses took their cue from the action of the milk man and started down the street in a direc- tion opposite to that of their own- er's. “Oh, oh.” said Sutcliffe over the phone. “There goes the cream for | my coffee, T guess I'll have to take !it black today. Sure has been a long night and how I wanted my coffee. Darn these revolutions, anyway | Wy did T ever take up newspaper [work for a living?" | With that out of the way Sut- | cliffe’s thoughts retured to the prog- e of the battle for control of Juarez and he - tinued to reveal etails of the encounter to Lepicy. | DARROW ADDRESSES VERMONT JUSTICES Pleads for Man's Life, Taking Exception to Ruling Montpelier, Vt., March & (#—Clar- ence Darrow, noted criminal lawyer of Chicago, went before the state supreme court today to plead for a | pew trial for John C. Winters, con- victed of murder in the first degree for the death of Cecilia Guilivan in Windsor in 1926, Darrow spoke for 45 minntes, ad- dressing the full hench of five jus- tices. He based his argument al- most entirely on an exception taken by the defense at the original trial when the court excluded an attempt by the defense to show that Winters received blood stains on his clothes from a cut on a finger shortly before Miss Gullivan met her death. Dar- row touched, however, on what he Clears Mystery of NEA San Francisco Burcau A three-year-old mystery concern- ing the disappearance from San Francisco of Barbara June Oshon, 3, and her sudden reappearance in Los Angeles, was cleared, according to San Irancisco police, by the con- fession of Mrs. Edna Sharp, above that she had kidnaped the child be. cause she wanted a littl: girl. Mrs. Sharp had previously confessed to kidnaping Doris Murphy, another ehild, recently, after Doris was dis- covered in her possession. Perfect termed a conviction “solely on cir- cumstantial evidence without @ | single trace of fact.” Darrow, who arrived here yester. came to the aid of Winters be- | ars ago his son, then a student at Dartmouth college, ran over and Kkilled a relative of Winters and promised that if he could cver | be of aid to the family he would. "The family remembered the promise | and called on Darrow to help Win- ters win a new trial. AMALGANATION YOTED BY HACHINE COMPANY Formation of New Britain-Gridley | | Co.
