(’use of Mrs. M.—It pivoted on the experience of Mrs. M , a middle aged, highly respected mother of an engaged daughter and a son gradu ating from law school who was carrying on an affair with her former sweetheart, a dignified fam ily man. She went to meet him clandestinely in a nearby town, and while there witnessed the commis sion of a murder. Two Colored men entered a bank shortly before business hours, held up and killed the cashier who was alone, and - escaped with thousands of dollars. Mrs. M.’s first Impulse was to go to the police and furnish the infor mation which shf as the onlv wit know to jH thom In tb« ap. pruheusiou of the murderers. Upon 41 sober reflection she realized that it would be difficult to explain her presence in the town without be smirching her good name and char acter. I>nter two innocent Colored men were arrested, convicted and sen tenced to die for the crime which they did not commit. Their appeals ror clemency and commutation of sentence were turned down by the Governor and the date of execution set. Mrs M. need only tell what she knew in order to save the lives of these men. HER PROBLEM: To speak would mean ruin for herself, her family, the man and his family. Both families were In nocent of wrongdoing. To remain silent would be to let two Inno cent men go to their doom and for her to carrv a sordid secret to her grave The time for the execution is drawing closer WH\T WOULD YOTT Rccceq-r “'■""'Id have been done by Mrs. M.? ! f -- - 1 ’ A GLOBE TROTTER’S SKETCH BOOK i .iiJI I ■ *Hrrrfi By HI WATTS During my ramble* In the old Bohemian quarter of Prague, now a part of Greater Germany.

The venerable caretaker of the town hall told me after I had sketched the clock (known as i Horologe) that the mechanism wai constructed in 1480 by a mat named Hanus. Jealous city officials then ordered that the genius should be blinded so that he could never e-aatruct a similar or finer clock In any other town. Years later, oa his deathbed, the sightlese Hanus begged to be taken to the tower to give his masterpiece one final ca ress. The request was granted, but once Inside the control room, Ha nus reached tor the most vital spot In the delicate mechanism and smashed It to bits! For many years the beet me chanics In Europe were not able to mend the damage the revengeful Hanus had done. It was finally restored In 15S0 and has been run ning continuously ever since.

Weathers, local postal employe was named to serve on the East Baton Rouge Parish grand jury which is probing the tangled financial affairs of the whito institution.

The expose came in an executive political expose made by Che Times-Picayune, New Or leans daily, that caused a shake up in Louisiana politics.
