SGROI BOUND 0 FOR SECOND HOLDU WWMWW“ Pol!oo(bll'l'f«ll! I.ni, 20, of 79 Grove m::': ‘was bound ever to the June term of superior court in $1,000 | Wonds by Judge M. D. Saxe in police osurt last Thursday on the charge of highway rebbery, was again bound ever Yo the same term by Judge e 'today on the same charge in bonds, while James May, 19, of 193 Cherry street, who was similar- 1y charged, was discharged. l‘rcl was alleged to have robbed Manhley Zdanucayk of 239 Grove street on May ¢ on Grove street and after a hearing last Thursday prob- able cause was found. Stanley Zisk, 18, of 49 Farmington avenue, who was charged with the same offense, was discharged. 8ince Thursday, Judge Saxe had under conmsideration the second charge which alleged that 8groi and May robbed: Louis Fanion, 45, of 39 Curtis street, of $51 in J. P. Sulli- van's coal yard on Grove street on May 11 while Sgroj was awaiting trial on the Zdanucsyk charge. Dis- charging May, Judge Saxe told At- terney P. F. McDonough, his coun- wpl, that it should be impressed on ths young man that he must guard against becoming implicated in seri- ous offenses such as the one he was accused of, and Attorney McDon- ough replied that such admenition hid already been administered. May thanked the court for the discharge. As to 8groi, Judge Saxe said he felt the evidence introduced last Thursday was sufficient to hold the young man. It was brought out in the trial, he remarked, that Sgrol, n being tolé to give Farior: back bankbook, did so but the $50 it wn said to have contained, was missing. Attorney Lawrence J. Golon represented Sproi in both trials. ‘The police are investigating a re. port by Thomas Kerrigan of Hart- ford road that his garage was en- tered last night and a battery stolen out of his automobile. He founu a rental baitery partly connected, in placé of his own battery, he said MORROW DAUGHTER BLACKMAIL VICTIH (Qontinued from First Page) “We have reached the conclusion.” iet Driecoll said, “that the person who wrote the blackmail letter to Miss Morrow never intended to col- lect the money. Why he wrote the Ietter, we don't know: We're still investigating the case, of course.” Fake Bundic Hidden Saturday night, when investigators had hoped to capture the black- mailer, a young woman operative of the Burns agency took a bundle sitpposedly containing the $50,000 to the Balch estate and placed it be. hind a stone wall, as the letter had directed. Far into the night, the chief said, detectives and police waited in the woods, but no one appeared to take the valueless packa; “We were not greatly surprised thet the vigil was in vain,” the chief said, “for we had gone through the same performance on three other occasions in connection with similar blackmail letters without ever seeing the author of the let- ters.” The Balch estate, where the black- mail letter apecified that the $50,000 should be placed, is now occupied by Dr. John H. Duff, a physician, Joseph Balch, former owner of the property, occupies a cottage, a a shoit distance from the main house. Grove street, where the estate is located, is a winding, wooded road, long popular as a “lovers’ lane.” At the office of Headmaster Wi Hlam Field of Milton Academy, it was stated today that they had no information relative to the attempt- ed blackmail. The headmaster was not at the achool, it was said, and no statement would be forthcoming in any event until he returned, prob: ably late this afternoon. Torture is Threatened Boston,, May 21 ®—The Boston Post in a copyrighted story today says Dwight W. Morrow, ambassa- dor to Mexico and father of Anne Morrow, flancee of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, has been made subject of & $50.000 extortion plot. The ‘money, the Post asserts, was de- manded under penalty of torture and death of his youngest daughter, 1§ year old Conatance Morrow, a student at Milton academy. Hard corns, soft corns, corns be- tween the toes and callouses lift right off! You'll laugh—it is =0 easy and doesn’t hurt a bit! Just drop “Freezone” on any ten- der, teuchy corn. Instantly it stoos aching; then shortly you just lift thet old bothersome corn right off with your fingers. It works like a charm, every time. Seems miagic! A tiny bottle of ‘Freezon=:" costs only a few cents at any drug store. Try it! | | beyond the sudden splitting The newspaper says it has learn- ed that the receipt by the girl ef two threatening letters was directly responsible for last Saturday's secret flight by Lindbergh and members of lh- Morrow family from the Morrow e at Engle . J., to their lunmcr place at Narth H:ven, Me. Detectives on Guard Duty It was also responsible for the de- tective guard which has since stood vigil over the island retreat of the Morrows in Maine and, as an added precaution, to the impersonation of Mias Constance by another girl ut the Milton academy while the for- mer was being spirited away to join the airplane flight. The Post declares it has learned that when Miss Morrow received the first letter she showed it to school authorities. .Her family was notl- fied and a guard assigned’ to her. When the second demand was made it _gave detalled instructions how and where the money was to be placed antd named last Saturday aft- ernoon as the {ime, At this juncture Mr. Morrow's former partners in the house of Morgan were appealed to and the services of federal operatives wer enlisted, but although Miss Morro impersonator adhered strictly to the instructions no one appeared to claim the package. In the meantime, the Post asserts, the quick trip to Maine was being planned and Miss Morrow's arrival in New York was timed for Col. Lindbergh's hopoff. The aviator did not use his regular field in a further attempt to throw the would- be kidnapers off the tr: Morrow is Silent Mexico City, May 21 (®—Dwight ‘W. Morrow, American ambassador to Mexico, today refused to com- ment on the story published by the Boston Post that the life of his daughter, Constance, had been threatened unless $50,000 were paid. The ambassador did not seem worried and was busy preparing for his departure to the United States. He expects to leave tomorrow or Thurldly. FRENCH SUPPLY G4 FOR GRAF GRAF ZEPPELIN (Continued from First Page) parture were in prospect. Herr Dvorak, the engineer from the Zeppelin works, said today he still was at a loss to explain the cause of the breakdown of the en- gines but indicated he would under- take a long and careful investigation with a view to eventual determina- tion. Practically all of the Graf's pas- sengers on its westward trip, with the exception of three or four who have made other arrangements, will be aboard it when it starts back to Germany. Among these will be Mrs. Mary Pierce, the only woman pes- senger on the ill-starred Atlantic trip. Mrs, Pierce Won't Sail Toulon, FFrance, May 21 (UP)— Even if the Graf Zeppelin should re- sume_is flight to the United States, Mrs. Mary Pierce of New York will not he among its passengers, she an- nounced today. “When I started on the Graf Zep- pelin from Friedrichshafen,” Mrs. Pierce said in explaining the change in her plans, “I went contrary to the wishes of my husband and my fam- ily, because I wanted to surprise them with a sudden arrival in New York. “Following the accident, however, I do not feel that I have the right to worry them again. But I have not lost my confidence in the Zeppe- lin.” Most of the passengers who had withdrawn from the voyage, it was £tated, did so for business reasons. Several were still on hand today, koping that the Graf Zeppelin would yet make the trip to the United States. NO ROMANCE IN TRIP TO FROZEN ANTARCTIC (Continued from First P’age) of the ice, until suddenly the explorer looks down and sees at his feet an apera- ture opening directly into 1800 feet of icy water. Because of this all men in the Byrd expedition must wear skiis while off the boat. The skiis will save a man's life if the crack which opens under his feet does not extend beyond a foot in width. After that it becomes dan- gerous. ‘Traces of Amundsen's camp in the Polar mountains were found by Byrd and his men. The expedition con- tains 86 men, including newspaper- men, motion picture photographers and experts in all phases of life. Many of the men on board are pro- fessional men and graduates of uni- versities. The only communication between the expedition and civiliza- tion is by wireless with New York.

Delegates Enthusiastic Paris, May 21 (P)—America’s offer to accept a substantial reduction in the amount of annuities in settle- ment of its war claims on Germany has become the event of the hour in France. The reparation experts have been imbued with new optimism by the concession, which, while small in proportion to the total reparation claime, may be just sufficient to in- duce the remaining necessary com- promise on the part of others. One of the experts offered the comment, “our hope of success is {mow very strong.” In ¥French circles the American | offer was understood to be for a ten per cent reduction in the size of an- nuities to the United States arrears on the casts of occupation of the Rhineland. or, about $1,190,000 a year for 37 years. ‘This figure, it was said. represcnted only approxi- | mately out-fourth of one per cent of | the total German annuities to the creditor nations. However, it was understood. a mere matter of about three-quarters of onc per cent of the annuities as asked by the allies has separated | them from the figures the Germans have indicated as acceptable.
