Millstone Rewards
40-Year Search
By th« Associated Press
GALESBURG, Hi.—Forty years
ago Glenn Glass began to look
around for a pair of millstones. He
set great store by them. His great
grandfather had installed them,
back in 1831, in the first water
powered mill in Knox County. The
mill was abandoned during the
Civil War and the stones vanished,
Mr. Glass picked up a few clues as
the years went by. He learned one
of the stones had been buried in a
well. He gave up on that one. But
recently he unearthed the other
stone. It was under a barn on the
Willard Johhson farm.

Mexican Reds Protests
On U. S. Arrests Rejected
By the Associated Press
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 4.—United
States Ambassador Walter Thurston
made public yesterday his rejection
of a protest against the arrest of
United States Communist leaders.
A committee of the Communist
Party asked the Ambassador on July
22 to send his Government their
"vehement protest against outrage
committed on the persons of the
principal leaders of the Communist
Party of the United States.”
The Ambassador, replying, said he
would not forward the letter because
it was an attempt to mix in United
States affairs and because “it pre
sents a deliberate distortion of the
policies and actions of my Govern
ment.”
Sweden is 950 miles long and has
an average width of 190 miles.

Catholic U. Shrine
Searched for 2
Errant Kittens
Two kittens crept into the crypt
of the National Shrine of the Im
maculate Conception at Catholic
University late yesterday and the
custodian is confronted with the
job of getting them out.
The kittens entered through a
window and dropped 12 feet down
in air chute into the subbasement.
The mother cat remained by the
window, waiting anxiously for her
two errant offspring and comforting
a third.
Rescue Squad No. 2 answered an
appeal for help. Squad members
spent 45 minutes exploring the
subbasement and tunnels, one of
which runs five blocks to the main
heating plant. But they did not
capture the kittens.
The mother cat and her family
are believed to have been living in
the woods beyond the shrine and,
according to a custodian, they have
been playing hob with the rabbits.
What the two kittens in the sub
basement will exist on is a question.
Church mice?
"We may have a few, but not in
the section where they are,” the
custodian said.

75 in Baltimore Seek
Lane Probe in Assault
By tho Associated Pros*
BALTIMORE, Aug. 4. — Aroused
by the grand jury’s exoneration of
a 37-year-old man who had been
charged with the attempted rape
of a 6-year-old girl, 75 Baltimoreans
have asked Gov. Lane and a Balti
more City official to look into the
case.
The Governor, who requested and
received a report from State’s At
torney J. Bernard Wells, last night
urged the petitioners and their
neighbors to present him with new
evidence if any such existed.
The State’s attorney said in his
report that the child could not
have qualified as a witness in court
because of her age, and that, in the
lack of substantiating evidence, the
case could not have been prosecuted
successfully. Mr. Wells said he had
urged the police to investigate fur
ther.
William J. Muth, vice president of
the City Council and a recipient of
the petition, has written to Police
Commissioner Hamilton R. Atkin
son to ask complete details on the
case.
Baltimore City Gets
Strangling Case Again
ly th« Atso<nW Pros*
BALTIMORE, Aug. 4.—Baltimore
City authorities once more were in
charge today of prosecuting Dun
can Livingstone, Jr., 25. for the fatal
choking of his "date,” 18-year-old
Shirley Will.
A charge of "assaulting and chok
ing” and causing the girl's death
was placed against him in North
eastern Police Court yesterday.
Livingstone, under treatment for
a bullet wound since Saturday, was
transferred from Havre de Grace
Hospital to City Hospital in Balti
more, and placed under police
guard.
Miss Will’s body was found in
his automobile early Saturday. Liv
ingstone was bleeding profusely
from his wound.
The car had plowed into a ditch
oft U. S. Route 40 at the edge of /
Aberdeen, about 30 miles northeast i j
of Baltimore in Harford County.
Harford authorities decided that
any crime involved was outside
their jurisdiction.
Baltimore County police then
took over, for the couple had spent
several hours last Friday night in
a tavern just outside of Baltimore.
City detectives thought Miss Will
had been slain in Baltimore, City,
but after talking with Livingstone
yesterday decided to drop the case
and give it back to Baltimore Coun
ty.
Later. Lt. Leo Kelly of the
homicide squad had a talk with
Livingstone and the decision was
reversed. ■ Lt. Kelly said he had
changed his story about the scene
of the strangling.
