HAN CHARGED
IN DEATHS OF
FIVE IN FAMILY
Rare Poison Is Used
In Slaying of Wife,
Four Children, Is
Claimed
NEW YORK. May 11.—(*)—
Fatigued and disheveled alter a
night of police questioning. Fred
erick Onw*. 49-year-old bookkeeper
was arraigned in the Bridge Plaza
oourt, Brooklyn. Saturday charged
with the murder of his wife and
lour children by poisoning. He was
held without tail for examination
Monday in homicide court.
In the Raymond Street jail he
was placed under extraordinary
surveillance and his shoe laces, neck
tie and belt taken from him to
safeguard against possible suicide.
Gross was arraigned in a Brooklyn
police court after he had under
gone an all-night questioning which,
police said, had failed to shake him
in his denial that he had used a
rare poison to take the lives of his
wife. Katharine, 38. and the chil
dren. IVederick 9*4. Katharine, 7,
Leo. 3. and Barbara. 18 months.
Evidence allegedly obtained by a
toxicologist using a spectograph on
tissue taken from the bodies of the
mother and the son. Leon, caused
District Attorney William F. X.
Oeoghan to order the placing of a
homicide charge against the pris
oner.
Investigators said Gross, a $20
a-week bookkeeper for an Import
ing firm, had access to a stock of
poison intended for killing rowants.
Because it had been used so rarely
in taking human life, they said,
medical knowledge of its effect on
the human body is limited.

FARMERS PLAN
CAPITAL TREK
Grower* to Visit Washington
To Show AAA Approval,
Predicted
WASHINGTON. May 11.—<iP>—
The prediction that between 2,000
and 3.000 western farmers will come
here next week to show their ap
proval of the AAA was made Sat
urday by one of their leaders.
C. H. Day, of Plainview, Texas,
took time out from finding accom
modations for the Texas delegation
to say:
" We are highly satisfied with the
AAA. The purpose of this trip is to
express our appreciation to the ad
ministration and to congress for
cooperation extended to the farm
ers and to assure the administra
tion our support for any sound
program they intend to plan."
Day said he believed the great
majority of farmers want the pro
’ cessing tax retained and the AAA
continued at least until the depres
sion is definitely over.
‘There has been a lot of noise,"
he added, “from a very few farm
ers who want the AAA for every
one who doesn’t want it. We got
tired of hearing this noise from a
small number and thought we would
show congress how most of the
farmers feel-”

THE H'RACIE RAllfS
‘FRANKENSTEIN’
AT ARCADIA
Horror Picture Shows At
Harlingen Sunday
And Monday
The screen s new thrill picture,
“The Bride of Frankenstein" show
ing Sunday and Monday at the Ar
cadia Theatre, takes up the story
where the original Frankenstein
story ended.
It will be remembered the mon
ster was apparently destroyed in a
burning mill, but the opening scenes
of "The Bride of Frankenstein”
shows how he escaped death and re
turns to throw the entire country
side into a state of terror.
While Dr. Frankenstein, injured
in his fight with the Monster, is
convalescing, he is visited by Dr.
Pretonus, who first gave Franken
stein the ideas for creation of life
and who now demands that he join
him in further experiments. Frank
enstein visits the laboratory of Pre
Lorius and is amazed to find several
tiny human beings created by Pre
tonus living in glass bottles. Receiv
ing evidence The Monster is still
alive, the two decide to create a
bride for him.
The Monster is captured by a hun
ter and taken to the village jail,
from which he escapes. He flees to
the mountains and becomes the
companion of a blind hermit who
does not realize who he is. The her
mit is gradually teaching him to
speak. Eluding pursuing hunters
again, the Monster finds shelter in
a great vault in an old cemetery.
There he meets Pretorius who has
come to secure the skeletons of two
women to be used in creating the
Bride. The Monster is delighted to
learn that he is to have a mate.
