Newark, N. J., Oct. Zi. t/P)—Eig-ht
.year-old Anna Kleinhandler was back
in Newark today after a night of hor¬
ror in a woods near Springfield with
a man who lured her away from her
home.
Object of an all-night hunt, the kid¬
naped girl early today emerged from
the woods near the Baltusrol Golf
Club arid knocked on the door of a
farmer, George Musehutz, on Shun
pike avenue. A farmhand, Eugene
Murphy, heard her story and immed¬
iately drove her to Springfield police
headquarters.
The girl’t throat had been slightly
cut and her body badly scratched and
bruised. She was in hysterical con
dition and at first was unable to speak
coherently.
Later T ' in ' Newark Newark police police
Sam Morris, at his home for ques
tioning. When the girl was
to police headquarters she saw Men
ris and said: “Qh that’s Sam. He
didn’t take me away.”
The girl was put under the care of
a physician while police continued a
search of the woods where she spent
the night.
She told of being beaten and
and abused by her abductor. Police
Chief McRell and 25.patrolmen, aided
by Springfield police were making
che search.
Little Anna Kleinhandler was stol
en last night by a man w'ho took
by the hand as'she played in front of
her father’s store and walked rapidly
away with her.
A quick search of the neighbor¬
hood by a posse of 150 men failed to
disclose any trace of the girl or the
man, who was described as about 33
years old with scars under his chin.
The girl’s mother told police a
man who lives in the neighborhood
entered the store last Friday with a
check he wanted cashed. She refus¬
ed and he left telling her “you’ll be
sorry”. Detectives were sent to this
man’s home last night but he was not
there.
A state-wide alarm was sent out by
authorities, who feared the girl might
come to serious harm.
Her father, Jacob, was nearly fran¬
tic. The little girl’s brother Max, 27,
had been sitting in front of the store
watching her play, just before the
supposed kidnaper came along he
went indoors.
Anna was playing bounce ball with
a negro girl, Agnes Shipley, 14, when
the man approached. Agnes later
said he took Anna’s hand without any
explanation and hurried her away.
A systematic search of vacant
buildings and cellars in the neighbor¬
hood was begun as soon as police were
called.

Muskogee, Okla, Oct. 24.
[daring the Rev. S. A Berne “has lost
the decent faculties the man ever
had,” County Attorney Phil K Oldham
made his closing argument in the
preacher’s wife murder trial today
with a hitter arraignment of Berrie’s
alleged intimacies with the young
Sunday school teacher he later took
as Ids second bride.
“I wonder,” he said, standing in his
shirt sleeves before the jury box, “if
the defendant ever preached a ser
jmon on‘The Wages of Sin is Death.’”
> Defense attorneys objected strenu
jously, “If I but had were the hypocrisy overruled. in soul
my
I that this defendant has, you bet I’d
j pray to God,” shouted Oldham.
"There sits the wife—not one single
witness has taken the stand to deny
these relationships.
“She could have taken the stand.’
The 52-year-old defendant
nervous, as OJdham spoke. His
bride, whom he married less than two
months after the first Mrs. Berrie al¬
legedly was poisoned last March, sat
by his side, fingering a small paper
sack.
Attorneys agreed to two hours each
side for arguments, with County At¬
torney Oldham opening after District
Judge W. ,J. Crump had read his in¬
structions.
Three , verdicts—guilty with the
death sentence; guilty with life im
iprisonment or acquittal—are possi

regardless of any sacrifice on my
part.”
In reply to Buffington’s offer, Jas.

DECISION UPHOLDS
RULE LOWER COURT
Convicted on Charges of Con=
spiracy to Misapply Funds of
Defunct Bank at
North Carolina.
Washington, Oct. 24. (4*)—The su¬
preme court today refused to review'
an appeal" by Luke Lea, Nashville,
Tennessee, Jr., publisher, his son, former Luke,
and Wallace B. Davis,
Asheville, N. C., banker, from their
conviction in North Carolina courts
on charges of conspiring to misapply
bank funds.
The action in effect upholds the
lower court’s action.
An attempt, by the three defend-! j
ants to have action on their appeal
postponed until they could file an
peal from the refusal of the North
Carolina courts to grant them a j
trial also failed.
The Leas and Davis were convicted j
on a charge of conspiracy to misapply]
the funds of the Central Bank & Trust
Company, of Asheville, N. C.
The proceedings against the trio
grew out of the failure of the Central
Bank & Trust Company of Asheville
in November, 1930, Davis being its
president.
The prosecution claimed that ap¬
$1,000,000 of the bank’s
(funds had been illegally diverted,
some of it through transactions with
a Nashville bank in which Lea, for¬
mer United States senator and his son
were connected. The charges covered
more than a score of offenses, rang
ing from misdemeanors to felonies.
The jury Was drawn in Haywood

If 1(1 PALACE
Former Queen of Rumania Ar¬
rives in Bucharest and Hs=
scorted Quietly Through City
By Police.
Bucharest, Oct. 24. (4*1 Former
Queen Helen of Rumania, the divorc¬
ed wife of King Carol arrived in the
capital today and was escorted to her
palace in the small hours of the morn¬
ing with the greatest of secrecy.
Princess Helen was not. permitted
to come in by the main station, but
her royal coach was detached from
the Simplon Express at Oitila outside
of Bucharest, and taken round the city
to Moglehlia station.
A special engine was held here in
readiness for this task, and accom¬
panied only by her lady-in-watiing,
Princess Helen was greeted by the
chief of police. This officer escorted
her in a waiting automobile to her
palace.
Princess Helen’s visit to the capital
would have been even more private
had the government persisted in its
refusal to send a royal railway coach
to the border to meet her.
An order to the effect was rescind¬
ed, and the coach was waiting at the
boundary when the Simplon Express
entered the country. In some politi¬
cal circles it was said the new premier
Juliu Maniu, leader of the national
peasants party, had a hand in fore¬
stalling a slight to the king’s divorced
Wife* w 'lf'.
Princess Helen ... had , , been , • London, , i
in
where her son, Prince Michael, visited
her briefly. The visit was lerminat
ed after two weeks by King Carol. Re
ports publicity ...... were ^ that he from" objected it! to the
resulting
announced Prince Michael’s birthday
will not be observed officially tomor¬
row but that the official birthday cel¬
ebration will be linked with the cele¬
bration of Michael’s Saint’s Day, No¬
vember 18.
This was interpreted in political cir¬
cles as intended to give the former
queen a chance to be with her son to¬
morrow arid celebrate his birthday
privately.
Vienna, Oct. 24. (A'j The newspa¬
per Montag Zeitung, commenting to
day on the arrival of Princess Helen
Bucharest, said it had learned that

Huntington, W. Va., Oct. 24. (/!“)
Samuel YV. Patterson, a wealthy coal
operator, his wife, and son, Thomas,
27, were found dead in their home
today. A coroner’s jury decided the
.youth shot his mother and father and
then slashed his wrists.
Police, called by servants to the
home in one of Huntington's exclus¬
ive residential districts, broke into
Thomas’ room.
The youth had locked himself in
after slaying his parents.
Servants called police when they
were unable to enter the son’s .room
after discovering the bodies. Officers
climbed to an outside balcony on the
second floor and broke into the youth’s
room through a window.
There they found the youth dead.
The walls of the room had been chop¬
ped, apparently with two axes found
on the floor.
A note, only a part of which was
intelligible, was found in the son’s
room near his body. Contents of the
were not revealed by police,
Physicians said the youth, a uni
versity graduate, had been under
treatment recently for a mental dis¬
order.
Indications were, police said, that
Patterson and his wife were killed
last night and that their son later
went to his room and killed himself
after chopping the walls.

in Long Island society mansions,
which the thief nonchalantly totalled
at “something between $5,000,000 and
$ 10 , 000 , 000 .”
Barry would study the layout of

Il was a demonstration as only
Georgia’s capital can put qn for une

Before the parade through the bus¬
