crhnino'oglst in the world, during the

secret service department and now
head of Scotland Yard, England's

startling fact3, comparing British and
American crime figures.
Last year in the United States
there were 9.600 murders, in Eng

cleared up and the newspapers of
England are demanding why they
were not.
In one penitentiary in Illinois mere

eye .vituess to the killini: charged
that Dallas dclMierately shot South

The defense waged a mighty nal
Le to prevent the inclusion ot mis

had been introduced to show that
Southwell was aware of his approach
ing death at the time h made the
f statement. y . . ... -
Mrs. Southwell recited the story of

told her Dallas approached him on the
concourse at the union station, point
ed a revolver at his head and said:
"Soulhwel , I'm going to kill you."
Southwell, so the statement runs,
struck the gun with his hand, and
denected the muzzle to a level with
his abdomen, where it was discharg
ed. This statement was corroborated
by Mrs. D. D. Boylan ,ind c. S. Tay
lor, both of whom were present v. lien
Southwell talked to Irs wife.
Hoi email testified to essentially th:
same thing.
Just before Mrs. Southwell fjok
the stand this afternoon a pigeon
flew into the courtroom, circled
thrice nvsr the he:id of court and
jury then perched on one of the win
dows behind the bench, where it re
mained throughout the afternoon.
Dallas himself will hs the main
