It is @ unique picture, in that it tells the story of a murder trial in three dif- ferent waya; first as seen by the de- fense attorney, then the district at- térney, and finally as it really hap- pened. ‘The cast is of unusual excellence, eo-featuring Mary Duncan, Warner Baxter and Edmund Lowe.

It is a Cosmopolitan pro- duction for Merto-Goldwyn-Mayer. and is just about one of the best stories of gangland the screen has yet offered. ‘The story deals with a jail break and the man hunt following. “The Voice of the City” permits all the crisp dialogue of the stage plays of Willard Mack, its author and di- rector, plus a much wider range of scene. Tt is to be doubted if on the stage the action could move as fast as it does in this talking picture. The vaudeville bill will offer five acts with Jose and Edythe and Ben Irving and his Columbia Recording orchestra. Ben Irving is a former New Britain boy and well known in this city as leader of the orchestra. Other acts include Lawtow “The Man from Jugglonia,” Three Little Cops in “Stop and Go:" Senna and Dean in “Charlies Night Out;" and Charles Regal and Co. in “The World's Greatest.” On Thuraday for the last half of the week the Strand will present the Paramount all talkie “Gentle- men of the Press” a stirring news- paper drama with Walter Huston, celebrated stage star in the leading role. Beginning Sunday the Strand will present the all talking marvel "The Trial of Mary Dugan.” THREATENS 70 END LIFE IN NYRTLE STREET POND Thomas Meskill Tells Acquaintance He Intends to Drown Self But Is Dissuaded. Thomas Meskill of 41 Smith street was acting queerly late yes- terday afternoon and told John Nissen, 16, of 475 Myrtle street. that he was going to drown him- self in “Lock Shop pond.” He was about 200 feet west of High street and as Nissen left him, Meskill re- moved his coat and hat as though preparing for a plunge. Nissen ran back and at the same time F. Howard 8mith, railroad policeman, ran over from “The Pit” on Myrtle atreet and dissuaded Meskill. Nissen reported the inci- dent to Officer John W. Riley, and Officet Charles Weare also learned of the incident from Officer Smith and another man. It happened be- itween 4 and 6 o'clock, according to the reports. and Meskill told Nissen and Officer 8mith that he would be in the pond before mid- night. Officer Riley turned in a letter addressed to Meskill and signed “Fred,” having found it on the bank of the pond. It seemed to have been written in a hospital in Norwich and contained nothing that would prompt suicide, in the opinion of the police.

New Britain Friday June Vibbert Show Grounds TOM i (HIMSELF) e BORDER SHODTING STORIES DIFFERENT (Continued from First Page) bow struck a atone, causing him to tighten his grip on the rifle and discharging the shot. : The statement of the border pa- trol that the chase took place in broad daylight was another disputed point, the district attorney's office said, hard to explain. The prosecut- or's men asserted that hospital af tendants told them the border pa- trolmen left Gerdon's body at their institution about 6 o'clock Saturday morning. This, they said, would in- dicate that the chase took place in | the early morning hours. Tulloch said Patrolmen Coveney | and Cheatham tried to block Gor- don’s car with their two machines after they had sighted him coming down one of the “booze trails” not far from the border. The officers reported that Gordon's automobile | took a wheel of fthe first car, ca- reened into a ditch and was just straightening out when the second car loomed before him. They said Gordon atopped, jumped out and ran back toward the border, which, the ofticers asserted, he was trying to recross. The custom collector's statement quoted Cheatham and Coneney as saying that Gordon could distin- guish their ullllyrml and that they ordered him to'stop with the cus- tomary command of “United States customs, halt!"” Gordon was within a few feet of the Canadian border when he was brought down. Cheatham said that | when he approached Gordon, the | youth said: “You got me.” | “In the back. Get me to a hospital | |if you can.” Cheatham quoted Gor- | | don as saying. | The officers, accord.ng to Tul-| loch's report, took Gordon in one of their gars to Dr. O'Neill at Mooers, headquarters in this section for the border patrol, and was advised by him to rush the youth to a hospital | at Plattgburg. He died en route, Cheatham, according to his report [to the collector, asked Gordon just before he died if he had anything to say. “Tell my mother I am sorry for all this,” the youth is quoted as say- ing. “E am not bootlegging for my- self, but for a New York man.” | After taking Gordon's body to the | hospital the officers departed with- !out leaving their names. attendants said, and Collector Tulloch's atate- ment showed that they communicat- ed with his office by telephone im- | mediately afterwards and then drove from Plattsburg to Ogdensburg. 135 miles, to report personally. The collector said both Coveney and Cheatham had good records, had never been involved in a shoot- ing before and that neither has been suspended. | | | Championship T);ist Does 96.70 a Minute | Paris, June 17 (® — Europe's, speediest woman typist s Miss | Odette Piau, a Parisain who can bat |out 96.76 words a minute with a | stop-watch held over her head, and | (not make an error. | She won her championship. title | recently at the Paris fair against a large field. her nearest competitor averaging only §5.50 words a min- ute.
