WASHINGTON, March 13.—There ll‘
no American censorship of American
news In Paris ‘
This flat assertion was made today in |
| circles close to the White House, fol
lowing the publication in this eountry
of a 4 protest voiced by Andre Chera
dame, French journaligt, against the al
leged addition of two Americans to the !
Paris board of censors and the “intol
| erable lack of information" that has
followed
w Alleging that news of the league of
nations debate in the United States
Senate and of other vital developments
In this country has been denied the
French people, Cherademe wrote
' ‘We have excellent ground or de
manding at whose instunce thi )
I)u-nnvl.- and inadmissable ade of
| two expert American censors had beer
{ made to the Fre ich ce orship
| ‘There is no censorship,” it was stated
l|uvl “To the contrary, we are making
jevery effort to have American news
fully disseminated in France.'
At the Department of State, Acting
Becretary Polk also declared that any
censorship that may exist in France is
a ‘“‘domestic arrangement.’”’ “If two
| Americans have been added to the board
it is without the knowledge of the de
partment and entirely at the instance of
'ma French Government,” he asserted.

Crowd at Albright Trial
Dwindles When Woman
In Case Fails to Appear
It was a disappointed crowd that
left Judge Humphries' courtroom‘
when recess was taken Wednesday
afternoon in the Albright trial. To
be more correct, it wasn't a crowd
that left at all. Bered with the rou
tine of jury drawing and the exam
ination of minor witnesses—and with
out the hope of seeing Mrs. Gay C.
Febuary on the witness stand as an
inducement to remain—many of the‘
men and women who had thronged
*he courtroom earlier :n the day had
test long before adjournment was
taken
The only reason | hadn't left my -
self was because I couldn't. It wasn't
especially exciting—sitting there lm-‘
ening to the examination of jurymen
and hearing those detectives tell
whether there was sufficient light out
at the Febuary home that night C, H.
Christy was killed for a man to see
another man draw a gun—or make
a motion as if to do so. But I'd been
sent there to cover the trial—or to
assist Claude Nealy—and there was
nothing to do but stick 1t out.
Every Seat Taken.
It's a strange thing--this morbid'
curiosity among men and women.
the curiosity pechaps isn't so strange
as the turn it takes. When I got to
the courtroom at 9 o'clock Wednes
day morning every seat in the room
was taken, and the halls were swarm
ed with persons eager to get in.
Do you think that crowd was there
to decide for themselves and to their
own satisfaction whether young Al
bright had real?y killed in self-de
fense, or whether, as the State con
tends, it was because of Jealousy? |
don’t ‘think so. Do you know what
that crowd wanted—why they got out
of bed perhaps an hour earlier than
usual and braved an early mornlnx|
street car ride down town? .
I'll tell you why. They were there
because they expected Mrs. Gay C,
Febuary to be there. They weren't
interested in Albright—the vast ma-
Jority of them. 1 dare say that few
of them had ever seen him hefore.
Surely they weren't interested in
Christy—the dead man.
Interest in Woman.
They were interested in Mrs. Febu
ary-—not as Mrs. Febuary _berself—
the wife of the Federal Building
stenographer—but in Mrs. Febuary
the woman in the case—as a sort of
Theda Bara of real life, they may
have pictured her. They had heard
rumors that Mrs. Febuary would be
grilled, @nd they'd probably heard ru
mors of spicy little incidents which
might be brought to_life in the grill
ing.
Mrs. Febuary was not there. There
fore the crowd was disappointed, and
being disappointed did not remain.
Maybe it's worth while to sit all
morning on a hard bench in a warm
room to hear a woman's character
torn to pieces—but what's a murder
more or less In a large community!
That may not be the way it was.
But that's the way it looke( to me
when those men and women one by
one began to get up and leave that
courtroom. What did that young boy
seated there between his mother and
a Kkhaki-clad Boy Scout mean in
[thr lives” The court could attend
to him--the court‘and the jury which
it took such a terribly long time to
draw.
Chance to Study.
And so they left that crowd-—and
I remained, along with other report
ers. Judge Humphries and the prose
cuting attorneys and the attorneys
for the defense and the principals and
a few men and women scattered
‘almm the courtroom
And | was right glad they left
' Because afier they'd gone it wis pos
sible to give ail one’s attention to the
| principals, and you didn’t have to be |
|:-ramm: vour neck all the time to see
If anybody had fainted or grown hys
terical or something in the back of
the room,
. And it was worth something—the
opportunity to stuady the principals
in the case. In court circles the Al
bright trial may go down as a quiet
and uneventful affalr. But in other
circles—in mother circles and home
cireles, for instance—i{t will long be
remembered.
There were two mothers there—
both gray haired and both quiet and
reserved. One wore a violet hat with
a vell and 2 long gray silk coat with
a soft collar. She sat dry-eyed
throughout the entire trial, occasion
ally leaning over to give an encour
aging pat to the slender boy who sat
beside her—W, H. Albright—known
to his friends as “Bill.”
The Other Mother.
The other—somehow—it's just a lit
tle hard to speak of her. She worel
black—with a long veil that covered
her face and was not raised durlng'\
the trial. But it wasn't a thick veil, )
And through it one could see the ]inesi‘
that have come with age and mother. |
hood. This mother, too, sat dry-eyed |
|~durlng the greater part of the|
' morning. But even mother courage
isn’t invulnerable and when the Statel
introduced as evidence the overcoat !
and the hat and trousers and e'ven‘
the badly stained undershirt that |
Christy wore on the night he was
killed—the little woman in black |
wept. But she wept silently, and!
there were few who noticed. |
Then there were Mrs. Nell Carith
ers and Mrs. M. F. Kennedy, sisters‘
of the dead Christy. And as though!
sort of balancing the man power be
iween the State and the defense,
there sat on the opposite side of the
room, near Albright, Mrs. T. G. Seay,
his sister, and Dr. Albright, a brother.
The Boy Scout.
And that little scout—l don't know
who he was. But I know that Al
bright looked mighty glad to see nim
when he came into the courtroom,
and that he sat there with his arm
around him the greater part of the
morning. He may have been a young
er brother—l don’'t know. But what I
do know lls that he loved that hig Al
bright boy, and that he was there to
guard him. as well as a Boy Scout
may, during his hour of need.
And about this Albright boy-—-the !
prisoner at the bar. I'm a little afrand;
to say anything about him. 1 re
member once when [ was working onl
a paper over in Birmingham, I wrote
a story about a man who'd been ar
rested on a charge of murder. And I
wrote a story about him—a sort of
scb story, I guess you'd call it—say
ing that he didn’t look like a mur
derer. And another Alabama paper
came out and roasted my paper for
allowing a “blue-eyed” sob sister to
pass sentence on a man hefore the'
jury had even had a chance. So
that's why I say I mention this Al
‘bright boy with fear and trepidation.
~ But I suppose there can't be any
objection to my saying that W. H
Albright doesn’t look like a murderer.
T'll leave it to anybody in that court
room Wednesday. He looks like the
sort of boy who takes sweet girl
graduates out to club dances and
dances with them until 11 o'clock—at
the latest—and then takes them home,
and escorts them to the door, and
tells them he's enjoyed the dance ever
£0 much, and then goes home and to
bed to dream about another dance
that's to be next week.
Did He Love Her?
Maybe you don't get the idea. And
maybe I'm wrong. But that's the way
W, H Albright looks to me. He may
have loved Mrs. Febuary-—1 believe it
has been suggested that he did.
He may have shot in self-defense,
as it is claimed. But whether he
loved Mrs. Febuary and killed him be
cause of insane jealousy, or whether
he shot because he expected to be
shot—whether he's convicted or freed,
I'l always think of W, H. Albright’
as he sat there Wednesday morning,
with his mother on one side and a
little Boy Scout on the other—an arm
around each.
