N0 INTENTION 0F SlIiiIIiINC IIIE WOMEN Mackenzie Explains How First Choice of County G. O. P. Vice President Was Made. .. n"No slight was intended to any- e." Harry E. Mackenzie. county leader and new president of the S‘airfisld County Republican organi- Fallon said last night with reference to the recent election of officers in the revived county association. "We left the selection of officers to the State Central committeeman in each district. no women being .reeent at the meeting. and then ap- nointed a committee. consisting of e officers. on membership. After -is committee has met and decided who are to be members there will be another meeting- called and per- wsnanent organisation perfected." “The women of the Fairfieid County Republican Women's asso- ciation and women members of the State Central committee were repre- sented as perturbed because they had not been consulted in the selec. tion by the men of a vice- president nd assistant secretary. Mrs. Marlon adsworth of Norwalk, and Mrs. F. .

Mrs. Lewis declared that as far she is concerned there was no seling. ’ . "‘I certainly do not wish anyone to.thlnk that I have any feeling about this matter personally." she said. “I simply think that in all fair- ness the women should have been consulted as to their representa- tlves.” Mail Car Leaves Rails, Plunges 35 Feet Over Bank DENNISON.

Then. further to prove the identification. Smith asked Har- pin to take off his coat..Thc test was a success. Smith said. for Har- pin did so in an old familiar mun- ner of the old lunchwsgon days. Then Smith took Harpln out to the East New York site of the old lunchwagon. long taken away. But several B. M. T. employees came over from the car barns across the street. grabbed Harpin by both hands and shouted: "Hello. Bruce. Where have you been hiding all these years."

Expected Today In Hall-Mills Case Two announcements. coating un- expectedly and almost simultane- ously from the prosecutor and de- fense in the lialldiiills case. rather overshadow the legal and verbal on- slaughts of the last few days and promise important developments. The defense may name persons on whom it will attempt to fix respon- sibility for the murders. while Alex- ander Simpson. the special prosecu- tor. has definitely declared his in- tention to seek indictments against several persons as accessories after the fact. Simpson's announcement clears away considerable doubt as to his intentions. It has been freely rumor- ed he would take such action. but he has consistently declined to dis- cuss the reports. His attitude in this regard has been that several things hinged upon the extradition of Felix Di Martini. Di Martini. a private detective em- ployed by Mrs. Frances Stevens l-lall after the slaying of her husband. the Rev. Edward W. Hall and Mrs. Elea- nor Mills. just outside of New Brunswick. N. J.. four years ago. lost another round Thursday in his bat- tle against extradition. His case now goes before the Court of Appeals in Albany for a final decision. If he loses there he will be surrendered to the New Jersey authorities. They do- sire to question him regarding his knowledge of tile case. Simpson was in to Somcrvillc to- day to ask Supreme Court Justice Charles W. Parker to instruct the Somerset County Grand Jury as to what constitutes an accessory after the fact. He will then ask the indict- ntent of Di Martini and "one or two other persons" whose identity he re- fuses to disclose. Seven or eight per- sons. most of whom are alleged to have been approached by Di Martini. will be presented as witnesses. Meanwhile, the defense is going a step further with the recent threat of Timothy N. Pfeiffcr that "we will not rest content with proving the ac. cused innocent of the crime." A new defense attorney. who declines to reveal his identity. is authority for the admission that the defense has had detectives working several weeks on evidence against persons not charged with the murders. The present defendants. in addi- tion to Mrs. Hall. are her brothers. Willis and Henry Stevens. and her cousin. Henry Carpender. The first three will go to trial November 8 and Carpcnder later. The defense contends. however. that its private investigation has re- vealed much tangible evidence which will prove that Simpson has been on the wrong back. The nature of this evidence may be revealed today. No Opposition To Discharge For Joseph E. Evans At the time he filed his petition.

In his letter Mr. Frizzell said: "To my surprise. when I return- ed from Charlottcsville, \‘a.. the home of Thomas Jefferson. I found it letter commanding me to appear for a meeting to plan ways and means of raising our little bit for the wonderful and inspiring benefit. now ready for the public to receive, nntnriy.

"There is n thrill that one receives when looking at something beautiful the thrill is even greater. and still mosphere of Monticello is inspiring both educational and historicdl. es- pecially if one stops to think that there stands the house, preserved and in perfect condition. where our Declaration of Independence was drafted in its original import. The shelf that was used as his desk is still nailed to the wall in his study. where he labored by candle light. working over the great document. "Monticello is certainly beautiful- ly situated on the top of a mountain. a wonderful old mansion, surround- ed by gorgeous trees. It is impossi- ble to describe its beauty in this letter. as it is Jefferson's own. As you approach the now national shrine. you first come to the row of slave quarters. which is original and different from anything Lhave ever seen. and purely Jefferson's own idea-a. long row with one room after another and connected to the house by an underground pas- sage. and it was thru this passage that Jefferson escaped from the British. under command of Tarieton. when notified by Jack Jewett that the British were coming. Then you cents to the doomed mansion of red brick. with its cir- cled veranda and large white columns. The natural beauty and view of the Blue Ridge Mountains is unsurpassed. "It was at Monticello that plans were made to bring General George Washington to that distinction of first President of the United States. It also has the distinction of having entertained President Monroe and President Madison. and other great! men of power_ both American and foreign."1‘was here that Lafayette. was so highly entertained on an oral occasions. "The inspiration that Monticello gives people who visit it has created its present and growing visiting list of 400 each day. so you can at once see the benefits that Monticello fur- nishes the public. As you go thru you can learn history by observation. “Therefore. with all this in view. it will give me great pleasure to as- sist you in raising your amount for Monticello and the national shrine. for the public to enjoy seeing and it the same time. making every man. .woman and child. visiting it. better Americans.
