SCRAP OF PAPER MEANT THE GALLOWS From his oftice window, John Robinson watched the constable propel his unwi charge through the entr ~of. Roches- ter Row police station, Robinson was an ingolvent house-agent, sick of waiting for clients who never came. : : Now, turning fiom the win- dow, he emptied his pockets on to the cheap pine desk: four pawn tickets, a bunch of keys, : five pennies. That was all . , .- - and the rent overdue . .. and at home a worried wife and four kiddies. The office could take care of itself, he mused. And, a moment later, went out into the sunlit "street. The year was 1927. John Robinson was not mérely decent-looking -- he was good- looking, and in a way that ap- pealed to women. In Victoria Street, where she was doing her shopping, Robin- son met a pretty, dark, plumpish young woman. He had charm, a certain grace, superficial, it is true, but of the showy kind which women fall for. : He made it seem perfectly respectable for this chance-met acquaintance to walk with him. And presently, when he invited her to inspect his place of busi- - ness, she had no feeling of dan- ger. Once within, the attitude. of this chance-met cavalier under- went a change. He became familiar and, when resentmént was his reward, he became rough. : Sometimes, in the past, in similar circustances, a clout had settled the matter for John Ro- binson. But on this particular occasion things went wrong. A violent woman, with the best reasons in the world for self-defence, is as awkward to cope with as a fistful of nettles. An angry wonian who threatens' to scream. the house down and that house opposite a busy police station, become quite in- tolerable. : Knocking: his victim down with a hard punch, Robinson--| pinned her arms with one strong band while he reached for his chair 'cushion, : 7 Very soon the violent move- ments of the woman weakened: and presently she was still. John Robinson removed the cushion from her face. He had gon too far; been tad thorough. He got slowly to his feet and went like a drugged man to- wards the window. - Below, a constable stood at - the police station doorway. Sun- light flooded the street. Boys went whistling on their way. John Robinson went out, lock- ing the office door behind him. He had to: think' : Cuba's Choice--Isis Finlay, "Miss Cuba," an entrant in the "Miss Universe" contest. The 20-year- old betiyty was so confident that she has stdrted taking English lessons. * his office. He had killed a woman. And he had left her body locked in his little office, the window of which looked out towards the police station. = 'Next day: he went back to his otfice. The long watches of a sleepless night had produced a plan of action, out of this mess, and do so quite simply. a io The plan was neither new nor clever, It was. to dismember the body, pack it in a trunk, and _ deposit the trunk in the left- luggage office at Victoria Sta- tion: 3 Before returning to his office he went to Brixton, where he was unknown, bought a cheap, second-hand trunk, using the money he had found in his vie- tim's handbag. Next, he bought a large knife "and a' large quantity of brown paper. By midday the task was aec-4}- complished, the battered old trunk securely corded. He went out into the street. "Hey, you!" he accosted a Seedy- looking man, 'want to earn a bob?" 1 ; Together the two men carried the. heavy trunk to the street, and hoisted it on to a taxi. At Victoria Station, the porter in charge of the left-luggage office, glancing from trunk to depositor, 'scribbled & the ticket. John Robinson, feeling relieved almost reckless, hailed another taxi and drove out of the sta- tion yard. I "And that's that!" he no doubt 'said, In self-congratulation, as he tossed the small piece of paper which was to put the rope around: his neck out of the taxi 'window. "Bloke chucked this outer- his tax! winder," explained a porter, handing the check in to the man in chatge of the left-luggage of- fice: "Oh, 'e did, did 'e. Yes, I re- meffiber im. Left a blooming 'eavy trunk, 'e did" A week later the police were called in.. The :trunk had be- come offensive. And now the great -network of police investi-- gation began to: funetloni A laundry mark led to the identity of the victim. She was a mar- riled woman -- Bessie Bonati-- separated from her husband, A woman leading the half-world lite of the London streets, When Robinson had packed "that trunk he had absent-minded- ly left with the remains of his vie- tim a cloth, That cloth bore the name of a hotel -- the hotel where Robinson's wife was em- ployed, and from which she had taken it. The left-luggage office aaten- dant was invited to identity the man who left the trunk. He did so without difficulty. . So John Robinson was brought to trial and charged with the murder of Bessie Bonati by smothering her, dass bos Now, for a man to dismember a- dead: woman does not mean necessarily that he first killed her. His action might have fol- lowed on an embarrassing acei- dent. y : That, put very: 'briefly, was Robinson's defence. 3 He "had invited the woman to She had made black-- mailing demands for money. He had resisted them. She then - flew at him, and in self-defence he' had struck her. She had fallen, face down on ta the hearth rug and, greatly upset, he had left the office and had not. re- turned till the following morn- ing. ; Said defence cousel: Bessie Bonati might have died of shock. Then, as a second line: Bessie Bonati might have died of coal- gas poisoning, for the gas leaked and she lay there all night. - It may have been improbable, but it was plausible. And no jury wants, without proof positive, to send a man to the: gallows. But the: sclénce: of anatomy, ' and of thé 'workings of the human body, is an: exact science, $. ac S505 - Heat Stops Train In ts Tracks -- If you think the heat's making. you dizzy, look what it did to these railroad tracks near Hallo- well, Kans, Frisco Railrpad officials sid the four-foot sway was due to 110-degree temperatures. , He could get . . x h RR FR hay Era iy vo! .

Run Refrigerators On Just Sunshine The household of a London University t er at Sidcup, Kent, is hoping for a sunny summer. The have, the more Dr. H. Hey- wood will enjoy free hot baths or easy washing up with lots of hot water. At the side of his house a solar water heater glass tubes and heats fifteen gallons of water to 180 degrees Fahrenheit -- or 71 degrees Cen- tigrade. Some neighbours think it just an amusing novelty. But the truth is that Dr. Heywood's suriny home help points to a new era in the household use of solar energy. Not long ago a United States scientist. stepped outside his door and performed one of the routine hot-weather tricks of New York by frying an egg on the pave- ment. He explained to students that if the pavement had been insulated' on the underside to prevent escape of heat into the ground, the eggs would have fried 'a minute faster, With two glass plates and a film of water to trap the sun's heat, instead of a paving slab, the eggs could ~have been boiled. : At Mount Wilson Observatory, California, the 'astronomers have a solar cooker. Mirrors of spe- clal cut and design concentrate the sun's rays on heating ele- ments in-such a way that the scientists can bake bread or cook themselves a chicken dinner. A small battery keeps the trap- mirrors constantly fooused 'on ' the sun -- like a burning glass. Clouds sometimes cut off the supply like-the click of a switch. But the cooking goes on. For ofl eee The expert anatomist who assists justice does not theorize, He deals only in facts. It was: the late Sir Bernard Spilsbury who was invited to give his opinion on the medical -propositions put forward by Ro- . binson's counsel. 4 "It might have been shock?" suggested the defence. "Had it been shock it would 'have heen evident from the con. dition of the heart. Post-mor- tem examination revealed a per- fectly healthy heart." "Coal-gas even if diluted, can cause death, if the period of exposure to it is prolonged?" "That is 80. But I examined the blood for evidence of coal- gas poison idications-; and - found none." What the medical expert had failed to find in Bessie Bonatl's blood was carbon-monoxide. "It might have been asphyxia?" "In asphyxia the blood turns dark, In carbon-monoxide poi- soning it turns bright red. I . found the blood to be dark." The medical expert patiently reconstructs, like the parts of a puzzle, what actually occurred from what remains, Bessie Bonati was suffocated by the pressure of a soft mater- ial over her mouth, There was the 'bitten tongue, the congested lungs that were suddenly de- prived of air. There was the dark blood. There were the bruises, with their signs of hav- ing been followed by death. John Robinson was sentenced to death. #11 have & double order fruit and--toast the bread!" more. sunshine we' traps the + warmth of the san in a mesh of has. meantime been heated by the sun and stored in an in-- sulated tank, giving enough heat for thirty-six hours. In India recently, a solar cook- er was demonstrated at the home of Prime Minister Nehru, and cheap mass-produced models are - promised within a few months, Experts of the Indian Physics " Laboratory have even used sun- shine to run refrigerators in a block of flats in New Delhi. Trapping the sunlight on the rooftop, a liquid is heated which runs the 'frig. 3 As much solar energy pours on the earth in an hour as the output of 21,000 million tons of _ heating for schools in coal; and even cloudy Britain can count on an average 1,500 hours' sunshine a year. Ever since Archimedes in the third century B.C. erected huge mir- rors at Syracuse to set a besieg- ing Roman navy aflame, the idea -of harnessing sunshine has ob- sessed. scientists. The difficulties of trapping sunpower in a conflned space without great capital expense, the | olency of existing mir- Tors ethods of storage were alway #7 i dolexing problems. Yet today sunshine is cooling a cine- ma in Tangler, supplying water igeria, and sun-warmed oil stored by day now provides night heating to French Army .hospitals:in Al- geria. :.. Maybe you, too; will soon use sunshine indoors as well as out, The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has built two houses with flatplate sun storers in- cluded in the sloping roofs, Passed into chemicals, the heat js then drawn to storage radia- tors that heat the rooms. - In an observatory at Meudon, on the outskirts of Parle, the rays of the sun are harnessed by mirrors to a solar furnace. There, in concentration, they can melt | any metal into liquid, including thorium, one of the toughest me- tals known. Temperatures as -~high as 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit have been obtained. A Spanish scientist, Frederico: Mollero, was placed in charge of a new helio, or sun, institute _in Soviet Russia with huge mir- ror installations. -He dreamed of the {fruits of solar energy in the vast arid re- gions of Soviet Central Asla, particularly around the agricul- tural area of Tashkent, remote" from sources of ordinary fuel. Today, the Soviets boast that long-distance shipments -of fuel to Tashkent are no longer neces- sary. Sunpower plants provide all the heat and power neces- sary at the two great govern- ment cannery and frozen storage plants. - Another helio-installa- tion is in use at a metal smelt- ing works and helio-engines are to be used in local silk weaving and leather-tamning. Where They Have It REALLY Hot When it's really hot in Death Valley, Lower California, the temperature rises to anything from 140 to 160 degrees in the, _ shade. The people of Marble Bar, the hottest town in Australia, claim that one summer there were 113 consecutive days when the tem- perature was over 100 degrees. Of these, ninety consecutive days wete over 103 degrees. The rec- ord there is 120.5 degrees. There are mountains in the Persian Gulf whose bare rock ° gets so hot that it can be unclimb- able. The heat has been known to. burn through the stoutest hoot. One of the hottest days re- membered this century in Brit- ain was August 9th, 1911, The thermometer at Greenwich Ob. gervatory recorded 100 degrees in the shade. It is all relative, Scientists es- timate that the temperature of the sun at its centre «is 30,000,000 degrees. Is surface is practical- ly cold by comparison -- a mere 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. . walke _ for the great harvest. - Nora Hallissey, ~might testlity at a legal con- Walked Thousands Of Miles on Stlits Should you ever call on 8id- ney Pepper, of Kennington, near Ashford, Kent, he'll prob- ably show you an old palr of stilts at his little cottage. An proudly he'll déclare that he has at least 3,000 miles on them. For Mr. Pepper, aged fifty, has been looking after a 44-acre gar- den near his home for twenty- five years and in that garden grow hops. Up and down the evenues of hops struts Mr. Pep- per on his faithful stilts and They've never let him down, The avenues are about a quarter of a mile long. Just now, and until the hops are picked, in August, Mr. Pep- peris specially busy directing. forty women as théy dress and train the hop vines and prepare He will be in charge of 800 men, women and children pickers when the harvest is gathered. Mr. Pepper's: 3,000-mile record on stilts takes some beating in Britain where a man on stilts is a rare sight nowadays. The world's most famous stilt walkers used to be the farmers and shepherds in the Depart- ment of Landes, France, an area noted for its damp soil. One stilt walker of that district, Sil- 'vain, Dornon, a baker, created a world record by walking on stilts from Paris to Moscow, a distance: of 1,380-miles in fifty- eight days. TRUE TESTIMONY .
