LITTLETON. Colo.. Nov. 13.—
(AP). With the legal status of “mur-
der for love" undetermined. Dr.
Harold Elmer Blazer today stood
free of the charge of murdering his
, 34-year-old daughter. Hazel. the
.1 “human husk."
Less than an hour after a jury
Ti failed to agree on a verdict. the le-
gal stigma of murdering was re-
” moved when Judge Samuel Johnson
granted a. motion of dismissal by
Prosecuting Attorney Joel E. Stone.
The jury was out less than four-
teen hours.
The defendant received the deci-
sion with comparative calm.
"The jury should have acquitted
me, but this last move is the equiva-
lent of acquittal." he said.
i: . “I do not wish to-pcfsecute any
one." Stone said in making his mo-
tion for dismissal. "I don't believe
this jury or any other one we might
obtain could arrive at a. verdict and.
in fairness both to the defendant and
the state. I move that all charges
be dropped and the defendant be set
free." , 6
Mrs. Frances Bishop. daughter of
the physician. was not in the court
oom when the Jury was dismissed.
é “Oh. they should have acquitted
him—they should have acquitted

lit-“'4 itemdcad hand" of trIIsts and

ful influence upon New England in-
dustry in the address of Louis K.
Liggett. chairman of the marketing
session of the New England Con-
ference. in his address to the dele-

also declared that what New Eng-

competition they have to meet, and
then a. determination to meet that
competition. He said in part:
New England Shipping?
"We are gathered here to see if we
can through this conference find a
better and more progressive way to
do what our forefathers have been
doing these past 150 years. New
England is old in manufacturing:
generations of families have been
producing goods here. But. justly

is this:
" “Whether one traces his Ameri-

as whether his Americanlsm of to-

“So I say to you, no matter how
your grandfather or your father
