BEST MOTHER’.
AS ‘SOB STUFF
FAILS IN COURT
Eugene Duvall, 26, Behind
Bars Dozen Years, Gets
5 to 14 More.
BOGUS FAINT FOLLOWS
A man’s love for his mother never for
sakes him.
“I have the best mother In the world.”
So pleaded Bn gene Duvall, 2d, of Ma
rion, Ind., charged with attempting to
asault a taxicab driver with Intent to
rob, in asking leniency today from
Judge James Collins of the criminal
court.
“I have spent twelve years of my life
behind prison bars,” he said with emo
tion. “My conduct Is killing my mother.
Give me a chance to make her happy.”
He paused.
“I—l never have had a chance. Al
ways behind prison bars. Help me," he
pleaded.
Judge Collins, knowing that Duvall
had pulled the same ‘‘sob stuff” before
other courts, sentenced him to from fire
to fourteen years In the Indiana re
formatory.
QUICKLY RECOVERS
FROM ‘‘FAINT.”
Duvall rose slowly from his chair,
staggered to the edge of the witness box
and fell, apparently In a faint, on the
tloor of the courtroom.
Other officers who have seen Duvall
Aaint” In other courtrooms carried him
to an anteroom of the court. As soon
:>3 the court instructed Dr. Robinson,
county coroner, to attend him, Duvalt
suddenly showed signs of life and wa*
able to walk to the jail.
The emotional plea of Duvall was the
most dramatic event staged In the crimi
nal court for the last five years, court
attaches said.
Duvall's mother is seriously ill at her
home in Marion and through friends
she asked the court not to pass sentence
on her boy until she was able to appear
some time next week to ask for leniency.
Duvall was arrested in a taxicab driven.
by Patrick Murphy, 539 North Bevllle
avenue, on the evening of Feb. 13 at Illi
nois and Washington streets.
TAXI DRIVER TELLS
OF DEATH THREAT.
Murphy testified that Duvall and an
other man, now said to be dead, eugaged
him to drive them to Anderson, Ind.,
and that after starting to leave the city
Duvall suddenly put a revolver against
his side and instructed him to drive on.
Murphy drove instead toward the busi
ness district and at Washington and
Illinois streets made the wrong turn 1
and purposely killed his motor.
Murphy testified that Duvall told him
he would kill him If he made an outcry.
Officer Judkins went to the machine
to see why the driver disobeyed the
traffic rules, and when he pulled hack
the curtains Duvall and Murphy were
fighting over the possession of a re
volver.
Duvall admitted that he and a mar. I
named Walter J. Fisher, now said to be j
dead, engaged Murphy to drive them to j
Anderson. Duvall freely admitted that
he and Fisher intended .‘‘pulling off a
$63,000 job there.”
DENIES BEING
ENRIGHT’S PARTNER.
Duvall denied that he was a partner
of Morris Enright, who Is now being ;
held on a charge of murder in Chicago. [
He admitted forming Enright's acquaint- j
ance while in prison in Illinois.
Duvall will be taken within a few ;
days to the reformatory and will be !
closely watched until the transfer* is
made from the jail to the state institu
tion, the authorities stated.

Pastor O. K.’s Fishing
Sunday After Church
BALINA, Kas., March 20.—This city
possesses a preacher whom every angler
In Kansas can praise. He Is Rev. Arthur
DUllnger, pastor of the First Christian i
church—and he believes it is all right i
for a man to go fishing on Sunday, pro- j
Tided he first goes to churah.
"I fall to see where we get the idea i
that the man or boy who goes fishing on I
Sunday Is bound straight for the warm i
place,” DUllnger says. “It doesn't say
so in the Good Book, and for my part 1 j
think there is not as much harm sitting
on the bank of somo quiet stream fishing
as there Is In rushing over the road at
a high rate of speed in an automobile
and burning up good money for gasoline.
“We have worked up a lot of useless
theories about the observance of the Sab
bath and thiß Idea about never going fish
ing or indulging in any other legitimate
enjoyment on Sunday afternoons after
church worship in tho morning is one oi
them.”

going to try to get the eoimtry’s ear
before Wilson can.
In the democratic ranks Bryan is op
posed to Wilson on the question of
reservations.
G. O. I\ TEST WILL
COME AT CHICAGO.
! In the G. O. IV, Johnson Is running for
president on an anti-treaty, anti-league
platform, while Lodge, Will Hays, Taft.
Root and the other leaders want the
j treaty with reservations. At Chicago
will come the test.
A joint resolution declaring rhe re
sumption of a state of peace between the
United States nnd Germany was intro
duced in the house today by Representa
tive Tinkham of Massachusetts.
While repealing the Joint reeolation
adopted April 6, 1917, declaring war. It
Is provided that Germany must recog
nize all rights which the United States
might have gained under the treaty of
Versailles hail this country ratified the
treaty. If Germany should fail to do
this the president is empowered to re
taliate by prohibiting by proclamation
that resumption of trade relations or the
extension of loans or credits.
Should the peace of Europe be again
threatened, the Tinkham resolution de
clares this country would regard such an
International development with “grave
concern nnd deal with it as the exigencies
of the situation demanded." There is no
pledge of military participation which
would commit the United States to a
definite alliance in the event of a future
European war.
FINAL SESSION
ORATORICAL ONE.
The session of the senate which finally
and unalterably (in the opinion of many
senators) put the treaty Into the cam
paign was devoted largely to oratory on
which the political aspects of the situa
tlon were not overlooked.
When the votes on ratification were
counted, It was found the trenty was
seven short of the two-thirds needed.
Twenty-one democrats bolted their party
leader and voted to ratify with the nulli
fying Lodge reservations. This wag four
teen more than on Nov. 19, 1919, vhted
for Lodge's program. The fourteen who :
changed over are:
Ashurst, Beckham. Chamberlain,
Fletcher, Henderson, Kendrick, King,
Nugent, Phelan. Pittman. Itansdell. Smith
(Maryland), Trammell and Walsh (Mon
tana).
SENATE ADJOURNS
UNTIL MONDAY.
The senate quickly adopted Lodge's
resolution sending the treaty back to
Wilson. Six democrats voted for it. Then
Robinson (Arkansas), democrat, tried to
get reconsideration on the vote rejecting
the treaty so that the senate might (<>■•
again after ‘‘cooling off" period. Mild
reservation republicans helped the demo
crats on this, but when Lodge, Borah
and others Insisted that the vote on
ratification be taken at once If at all, the
democrats decided they did not want It.
Knox tried to put forward hla resolu
tion declaring a state of peace, but the
sehate deferred action on It until next

HISTORY OF
THE CASE.
The "Newberry case" ns the trial Just
ended Is generally ‘known, grew out of
one of the bitterest campaigns ever waged
for a seat In the United Stares senate.
Truman H. Newberry and Henry Ford
were the leading contestants.
Newberry, a member of one of Michi
gan's oldest and, before the auto Industry
hit Detroit, wealthiest families; a mem
ber of the navy during the Spanish
American vrar; assistant secretary of the
navy In Roosevelt's cabinet and an aid lo
tUc commander of the port of New York
during the world war, based hi* appeal
for election on a war platform.
Ford, millionaire automobile manufac
turer. commander of the Ford peace ship
attd, before the United States entered the
war. leading pacifist, built his platform
on support of President Wilson 4 poli
cies.
The Newberry supporters built up a
huge organization reaching Into every
county, city and Tillage In the state. By
their own admission $178,000 was spent
The government attorneys contended that
they had showed $225,000 was paid out to
‘‘purchase u seat- in the senate" for Com
mander Newberry. Testimony given at
the trial stated one defendant In a con
versation said he knew' SBOO,OOO was spent
NEWBERRY AC CUSED ,
OF LEADING FIOT.
Paul H. King bonded the Newberry
campaign committee in Michigan. The
government claimed that Senator New
berry and Frederick Cody hatched the
alleged plot to corrupt the 191 H elections
In Michigan, while they resided In New
York. They sent for King to come to
Now York nnd made him manager of
the campaign, the testimony showed.
Newberry worked directly through
King In carrying out the details of the
campaign, the government contended.
Correspondence which passed between
King and Newberry, as presented In the
trial by the defense, showed King wrote
as many as eight letters a day to his
chief.
The case hinged on the question of
whether or not Senator Newberry
"caused to be expended” an amount in
excess of the sum allowed by the Michi
gan statutes in procuring his clwtlon.
This amount Is $3,750.
The defense contended that Newberry
had nothing to do with the spending of
the lapge sum of money; declaring that
he did not contribute one cent to the
campaign fund and *vns not informed of
the huge amounts spent in his behalf dur
ing the campaign. •
A grand Jury summoned in the au
tumn of Ift I*J returned indictments accus
ing 135 men of conspiracy to violate the
federal statutes by spending an exces
sive amount of money in the campaign.
A conspiracy to defraud the whole state
of Michigan by using the mails In the
alleged fraudulent election scheme was
also charged.
These were the two main accusations
which went before the Jury. Four other
Indictments were eicher quashed or com
bined with these two principal charges.
The trial covered u period of eight
weeks. More than 400 witnesses testified
for the government and approximately
250 for (he defense.
King was the only leading defendant
to take the witness stand. He never
completed his testimony. After giving
his direct testimony, he suffered a phys
ical breakdown and was unable to pro

When the cnee finally reached the Jury's

the government failed to sustain Its
charges against thirty eight others and
they were dismissed. One man was not

Leading lawyers of the country were
employed In tho case. Frank C. Dailey
of Indianapolis, who prosecuted suc
cessfully the Indiana election fraud
cases, was appointed special assistant
attorney genertl and given charge of the
entire investigation and trial. He was
assisted by W. H. Elchhorn. former
Judge, also of Bluffton. Earl Houcke of
Terre Haute, Ind., headed a large squad
of government agents which combed the
afale for evidence.
Martin IV. Littleton of New York City,
who defended Harry Thaw, and who is
recognized is among the greatest crim
inal lawyers In the United States, headed
the defense Attorneys. James O. Martin
of Detroit, personal attorney for Senator
Newberry, and George Nichols of lonia,
Mich., a leading attorney of the state,
also were members of the general coun
sel for the defense.
About thirty other attorneys repre
sented individual respondents. Clarence

western district of Michigan, conducted
the trial.
