Flower of Death Figures in Suit for Large Estate Fatal Posy Sent American Woman by Egyptian Hyp notist, Husband De clares in Court. By NINA LINDSAY, Fniversal Service Staff Correspondent, Kansas City, Mo., June 14.—Capt Harry Lello Zeitun of London, al leged European love adventurer, never took "no" for an answer in affairs of the heart. Neither will h9 take it in his fight to obtain the prop erty of an American heiress—the late Mrs. Julia Woods Davies. Captain Zeitun lost his first bout here with George Westlain Davies, opera sincer, and fourth husband of Mrs. Davies. A jury of farmers held that Mrs, Davies' last will naming Zeitun as beneficiary was illegal, that Mrs. Davies, as her husband contended, had been the victim of a strange hypnotic Influence wielded by the lr resistible Egyptian—or Arabian—love mesmerist, Zeitun. ‘ However, Zeitun will continue his fight for Mrs. Davies' $1, 000,000 estate, says his attorneys. Fight Just Beginning. The decision Is just the begin ning of the International legal con troversy which will be taken to higher courts, they Sntimate. They will base their appeal chiefly on the fact that the case was called before Captain Zeitun could arrive In this country and tell his own story In court. A tale that might have served as the plot for an oriental melodrama was unfolded here in the venerable Clay county courthouse by Davies, the opera singer, of actor-like appear ance and Broadway garb. A flower of death—a mysterious malady—mental love potions—in trigues of love and finance—all of these elements figured in the domestic triangle in. which Davies and his wife and Captain Zeitun became involved in Rome in 1922, according to Davies' testimony. Omen of Death. Tn a tense moment, during his re cital, Davies drew from a foreign stamped envelope a vivid yellow chrysanthemum—the omen of death sent to him and his wife by Zeitun, he alleged. Davies said he received the flower in the village postoffice in Stamford, Conn., the summer home of the Davies, in July, 1922. He took It home to his wife. “It is the flower of death Zeitun threatened to send," she screamed, according to Davies. "He will come and kill us both.” Mrs. Davies then fainted, her hus band said. He testified that she never ! was well again from that time until her death the following December. Tells of Threat. Davies said that after Mrs. Davies > arrived in this country, following her break with Zeitun, whom she had employed as her secretary in London, that she had said that Zeitun had threatened to kill her If aha did not leturr to Europe. "She said he would send a yellow chrysanthemum as a warning" testi fied Davies. Davies also told of a strange malady that had attacked him In Rome. He said ho took some medi cine just after Zeitun had left, his room and that he suddenly became numb and thought he was going to die. Lore Machinations. Davies said that Zeitun had forced himself upon Mrs. Davies in Rome and sought hy his love machinations to obtain financial control of her af fairs. Later when Davies returned j to the United States to look after Mrs. Davies’ property Interests, Zel | tun estranged Mrs. Davies from her husband. Davies testified. Zeitun's attorneys maintained the Egyptian’s relations with Mrs. j Davies were wholly platonic, those of a secretary to his employer. Davies now is reinstated as heir to his wife's estate pending further litigation.

Patches Is the fascinating, little bob-haired flapper who is now report ed being groomed as a key witness for the defense in the trial of Na than Keopold, jr., and Richard I„oeb, slayers of little Bobby Franks. Patches is the cigaret-smoking co ed—the same age as Koeb, IS—with a pert retrousse nose, sparkling eyes, plucked eyebrows, rouged lips, daugh ter of a wealthy family that moved in the same circles which boasted of the wealthy Leopolds and Ix>ebs—on whose rigaret case two prying detec tives discovered the capital initials, OKU, which were typed *t the bot tom of the ransom letter in the Franks kidnaping case. "Don't be silly," she pouted to the sleuths as she crossed her legs, lighted a fag. offered them some and closed the case. "Don't be silly (be tween long inhaling draughts on the cigareti I didn't write that letter.” And further than (hat they could get none. This dashing example of modern American girlhood mas released—but since then it Is understood that she has been in conference with defense counsel. Could she convince the Jury that will try the two boy slayers August 4 that Dickie was Insane? Girl Reporters Talks to Slayers, but They Refuse to Mention Franks Murder By HELEN FOX. International Service Staff Correspondent. Chicago, June 14.—All the way from New York Juat to aee young Nathan Leopold and "Dickie" Loeh. But an nouncement of that fact made little Impression on the two hoys who will go to trial August 4 for the confess ed slaying of little Robert Franks. Juat another reporter—that's alt. And reporter* are part of the boring routine of life in Jail. Loeh was charming and willing to talk. Leopold was affable and erudite, even gallant. There had been so much said of the unwillingness of the boys to talk, particularly since their counsel took them In hand, that, this cams as a mild and flattaring sur prise. That Impression wss short lived Sometimes the two hoys talked, and sometimes they didn't. reporters more experienced In the case Inform ed me. I/enpnld On Parade. But the belief that Leopold parnd ed his twisted philosophy only before men, while Loeh talked only to wo men, underwent, revision. Leopold seemed to decide to preen and parade his Intellectual plumage Ho assumed he was talking to an Intellectual. So "What Is an Intellectual?" he ask ed. "What Is an artist? What is a genius? His voice was mildly Ironic, lie smiled a smile that did not trouble to he superior. I offered a definition something about an intellectual liking a picture after he discovered it had merit, and an artist looking for its merit after he found tnat he liked it ’ Rather ingenious." conceded le'o pold. 1 searched hard for sarcasm. "I am no more logical than others of my sex. you see," I said, taking the first, person singular keynote from Leopold himself. "Ah!" said Leopold with a gallant little how. "That. Is what makes women so adorable!" And the report had been that Loeh was the ladies’ man, and Leopold something of a misogynist! Jabs at Women. "Few women," he continued, from the fund of experience of 1!> years, "have a scientific turn of mind. Few women are great mathematicians. Woman Is essentially Illogical—for that reason beloved of man." While at times Leopold's cocksure ness was not a little Irritating, he can ho very charming, if he likes. When chatting with tho "boys" he was natural and no less witty than when ho was attempting to Impress the new reporter with his erudition. And now for the lady-killer, the quiet, half shy hoy who will talk to reporters of the fair sex only. Loeh Is an attractive youngster. In eplte of several prominent gold rrowna on his teeth. Hts eyes are black and vlvarloua, his features regular ami sensitive. “I'd like to talk about It—" Ixieb, of course, referred to the killing ot the Franks boy, "and I don't think It would affect our i»se one way or the other. But I gave my word 1 wouldn't.' So we talked about other things. "No, I'm afraid I never had any artistic Inclinations," Loeh a Mark eyes smiled. Perhaps he thought we were, trying to trap him. Pink Tea Talk. He was less loquacious than Leo pold. The conversation was dllletante —the kind that might he heard at any pink tea. Once or twice we skated on thin Ice, when We said that everybody varied from the normal and everybody—or pretty nearly everybody—was slight ly pathological. "It IS Just a question of degree,' we made the statement of course, "Tea —" he answered shortly and dlsrouraged any continuation of ths subject. ‘ It was unbelievable! That was the crux of the writer'a thoughts aa ahe wound down the four flights of stairs, bast bars and while painted cages, by brutal faced men—murderers all, she was told—huddled together. Im possible! Unbelievable! Where In the countenances of these two boys was trsca of the thing that lurked behind the eyes or about the mouths of these others? Where was the thing that had made possible the killing of an Innocent child? Banish Ihe bars. Bint out the cages. Obliterate the weak and evil faces looking on with curiosity.

New York Scene of Activity as J Convention Nears |Democratic Influx Already Under Way; Details for Big Meet Dis eussed. New York, June 14.—Sign* of the near approach of the national demo cratic convention begin to multiply today as national organization of ficials. subcommittee chieftain*, hnnm leaders, delegates and just plain dem ocrats begin drifting in to size up the preconventlnn situation. Cordell Hull, chairman of the party, held a. series of conferences w-ith •f. Rruce Krenier, vice chairman; Nor man K. Mack, national committee man from New York; Scott Kerris of Oklahoma, Thomas R. Love of Texas, Tsadore Dockweiler of California and Bdward Quinn of Massachusetts. Mr. dlockweller began drafting plans for the seating of delegations, preliminary to a formal session to morrow of the subcommittee which will allot positions on the convention platform. Workers for William O. McAdoo announced their candidate was en route from California and would ar rive next Wednesday to take per sonal charge of his campaign. Smith Makes Speeches. Governor Smith, already on the field of action, spent the first day as his own campaign director In making two outdoor speeches, attending a Flag day dinner, reviewing a parade of Masons and distributing toys to east side children. The National League of Young Democrats, which has opened head quarters, announced through Guy H. Woodward, president, that the league had been organized In Kansas, Its 11th state, and that it had leased an auditorium where convention pro ceedings at the Garden would be transmitted by a radio to a large overflow audience. Much of the preconvention gossip centered on speculation as to who would he permanent chairman of the convention. The name of Senator Walsh of Montana was the most fre quently mentioned. Homer S. Cum mings of Connecticut, former national chairman of the party, who is spoken of ss a candidate for the presidential nomination, was reporled to he slated for chairmanship of the com mittee on resolutions and platform. Senator Tat Harrison of Mississippi already hs* been formally named keynote spokesman and temporary convention chairman. Seating Problem. Because of the abundance of can didates for the presidential nomina tion and an additional number of dark horses, the subcommittee on delegation seating Is confronted by s difficult problem. Mr. Dockweiler pointed out that It waa customary to give "up front" seat* to th* state delegations with fa vorite sons. It is also customary to give prominent positions to ths larg est delegations, such ss New York, with 90 members. Pennsylvania with 78, Illinois with 58, Ohio with 48 and Texas with 40. Fourteen state* now have candi dates in the rare or almost in, and, according to Mr. Dockweiler, there will he at least eight dark horse en tries when the nominating begin*. Thus JO of the 48 state delegations will be entitled to upfront place* Add to these the big state delegations that customarily get places easily dis tinguishable to the convention chair man and it appears that few of the units are going to be satisfied with rear seat*.

Man Who Pleaded Guilty to Slaying to Escape Noose, Condemned to Hang By rnlv«r*al Service. Chicago. June 1.1—Russell T. Scott has been sentenced to hang. He pleaded guilty to the murder of Joqeph Maurer, a drug rlerk. who was shot to death In a robbery one month ago. Scott I* a former Detroit man. He made a million dollars—and loaf ]t — before he was 10 years old. He be came a robber. When he held tin the City Hall pharmacy in the heart of the hualnevs district last month, young Maurer, the clerk, was shot through the head. Scott was quickly captured and confessed. He said his brother Robert had helped him. Robert has never been apprehended. Scott pleaded guilty on advice of his attorney. Walter Stanton, hpfore Judge William Lindsay, in criminal court. He expected to escape the death penalty. It was a dramatic moment when Judge Lindsay pro nounced sentence. "This man lost a million dollars in unfortunate business ventures," he said. "Then he turned robber. There are no mitigating circumstances in this case. "It is a case where a rnan who has had all the advantages has neglected them to become an enemy of society and take the law in his own hands, lie has taken vengeance on society for |his misfortunes, lie thought society should pay. Apparently, there was no reason for the shooting. Maurer was killed from behind. "It seem* all the unfortunate* come to Chicago in the belief enforcement of the law her* is a Joke. "Russell Scott, I sentence you to be hanged by the neck until you are dead." Attorney Stanton, realising the fl nallty of the eentence, raised his hands and literally staggered toward the judge. ' Don't sentence him to hang." he cried. "It was my fault. The hoy wanted to te|j bis story, (live him a chance. Let him withdraw his plea and suhroit his cake to a jury.” Judge Lindsay brushed th* at torney aside. "You are making this a. personal matter," he said. "But if the slate's attorney agrees to permit you to with draw the pleu I have no objection. Judge Lindsay announced he would fix the date of execution next Wednes day’. In the meantime Attorney Stan ton will make an effort to Induce the state prosecutor to not oppose a mo tion to withdraw the plea of guilty and let the case go to a jury. Attorney Stanton said young Scott had told him his brother Robert had fired the fatal shot. If Scott could prove that, a jury would probably fix his punishment at life imprisonment.
