Spencer Owen vs. Robert Witter opened in municipal court before Judge Norman E. Malone. Interest in this case was so intense that crowds gathered before the courthouse two hours before the doors were opened. At ten oic lock Dave Broselow, the court bailiff, began to admit those who were fortunate enough to have secured passes from District Attorney Masino's office. In the section reserved for the public were to be seen men notable in many walks of life who had come here from all over the country. Among these were Worthington Button, the millionaire western clubman, and Edward Hennesey, diminutive mayor of Elmira, N. Y. Ed Hake, who succeeded Rockne as Notre Dame's football coach, was seen slouched in a corner, half-hidden by Stan Sweetser, head of Cluett, Peabody and Co., who achieved a remarkable rise from collar model to President of the Arrow concern. Seated next to Sweetser was George Horton, well known debonair man-about-town. The huge bulk of Alfred Wascalonis, wealthy Pennsylvania coal operator, was seen meandering up and down the aisle apparently looking for two seats in which to place itself. Seated next to each other toward the front of the courtroom were Marshall Lewis, of the Council on Athletics, Theodore Koos, librarian, and Thomas Gates, Ph.D., Professor of Psy- chology. These men act in their various official capacities at the University of Pennsylvania. Others present who are connected with the University were Don Millar, dancing coach of the Mask and Wig, and Marc Wright, who is now engaged in designing the new buildings for the Universityis removal to Valley Forge. Because of the unusual circumstances which surrounded this case, several distinguished men of letters were in the audience. Arthur Hobson Quinn, Jr., arrived to get material for his next play, which will center about the three principals in this HTragedy of the Clouds. In- vestigation of the legal aspects involved prompted the presence of Eugene Connell, whose book on the '4History of Iurisprudencei' is now the standard college text. He was accompanied by his faithful secretary, William fSmittyj Lukaswitz. In the hope that he might find inspiration for another book of poetry, Milton Diner, hailed by many as 'fthe second Walt Whitman added a touch of spirituality to the assemblage when he came in. ' There were other nationally known figures who stood out from the crowd. These included Robert Brown who, under the nom-de-palette of Bobrunsky,H has been setting the standards in modernistic painting, H. Leonard Mash, newspaper syndicate caricaturist, and A. Needle- man fNeedlesj, feature writer for the uSun.', The latter two were covering the trial for the dailies. Because Judge Malone was detained at his estate in Alden, Pa., the trial did not open until 11.15 A. M. The clerk of the court, Roger Stevens, began to impanel the jury. Nineteen men responded-it was found that Edwin Phillips was absent. However, a telegram was received from the absentee which explained that he was detained in East Orange where he was officiat- ing at H 111f1ChC011 of the Lion Tarrlfirls Club. Counsel for both sides then examined the veniremen. Chief counsel for the plaintiff, J. J, McDowell, was assisted by John P. Berry, while the defense lawyers were Attorney William Hagerty and Benjamin Horowitz. The first man called, Perk Bailey, of the Saturday Evening Post, was immediately ac- cepted and became foreman of the jury. The next man, Max Fralin, begged to be let off be- cause his presence was necessary at the polls in yesterday's Council election. The Judge, deeply sympathetic, excused him. The examination of Louis Laronge, brought out the fact that he is .M I '1 f rm. W1 Pvt Nw M . I 'cfeiifgl f if I E E xs third? at tts! , ' U ri? . if GDR viii?

J l Gffrell If ck Beta Gamma Sigma, with Joe Mead as President, inaugurated many new features, espe- cially the a'Wharton News and the reviving of the defunct 66Wharton Association. We can well recall the Christmas Tree party held in Houston Hall. The members of Beta Gamma Sigma are: Frank Hutchinson, Tiefenbronner, Sam Roberts, Camden, Tuller, Sebasian, K. C. Tuttle, and Flaherty. The Phi Beta Kappa Society chose the following for membership: uBo Brown, Art Quinn, Bill Bahr, Hallett, Rapaport, Singer, 6'Tom'7 Gates, Phillips, and Miller. A The Interfraternity Council was organized under a 11ew agreement, to take the place of the much battered old one. The President was Spencer Owen with Button as Secretary. The Interfraternity Ball at the Penn A. C. was managed by Warreii Hunter. For work well done the following classmates were elected to membership in the' Sphinx Senior Society: Tom Gates, President, Rogers Stevens, Vice-President, Ed Hennessy, Treasurer, Barker, Button, Connell, Curtis, Davis, Dull, Douglas, Estus, Hake, Irish, McDowell, Malone, Mitchell, Owen, Perry, Sanford, Scull, Sweetser, Talbot, and West. The Friars Senior Society roll disclosed the following: John P. Berry, President, Perk Bailey, Secretary, and Brown, Chapman, Pete Cole, Comstock, Gentsch, Lukaswitz, Mclntire, Matthews, Joe Mead, Miller, Moore, Pratt, Quinn, Sebastian, Sloan, Stewart, Wascolonis and 1 Witter. Our Undergraduate Council deserves a great deal of praise. The Class affairs, financial matters, lower class fights, and even the elections, have all been handled in an efficient and businesslike manner. 1 The Class of 1928 goes out into the world better equipped to meet the vicissitudes of life, P because of the many problems we have been forced to face, and We would not forget that we still have before us a still greater problem-that of Life itself. May our friendships be never-ending and our principles such as will ever honor the name of MPennsylvania. .IOHN Y. MACE. V. , I 1 my I .S K it I' 5 , .s, , , fl' I F Q Q 1 , M I 1 V W-- , -.v.-.. .

The third juror to be accepted was Fred Gentsch, who told the court he was a bond salesman for Drexel and Company. The next two men to be examined were excused because they had to play with the Athletics against New York in the opening game of the season. They were shortstop Pete Cole and center fielder Bernie Deutsch. Judge Malone, an ardent baseball fan himself, dismissed them with the warning that they would be recalled for duty if they did not beat the Yanks. E Jack DuVinage, President of the Cunard Line, was next to be installed on the jury. A humorous note was introduced into the 'proceedings when Walter Hoffman fBeefj was ques- tioned by the lawyers. When told that he was accepted, he said, Your Honor, for the last eighteen years Spence Evans and I have done everything together. We've never been apart in all that time, and l won't.serve unless he does.', Whereuponiby the Judgeis intercession, both lawyers waived examination and Evans was installed with his partner. Hoffman and Evans are known on the stage as the G'Comedy Duof, John Mace, leader of the Sinful Syncopators, the famous Broadway jazz band, was accepted as juror number 7. Jurors numbers 8 and 9 were C. Sumner Davis, Associated Press Editor, and Henry Tiefenbronner, the man that tickles the country's sweet tooth with his chocolates. Leonard Carter Dill was challenged by Hagerty because of his well-known conservatism where the opposite sex is concerned, as expressed in the magazine of which he is editor-in-chief. Although Carl S. Anderson, traveling salesman, begged to be excused, he was refused permission by Judge Malone to go to Norfolk, Va., where he had business to transact. State Senator Arthur Salus was permitted to escape service because he was needed at the Capitol, and Samuel J. Roberts was also excused on official business. The eleventh juror to be accepted was Kirk Tuttle, eminent savant and scholar. George Schreiner, famous after dinner speaker and orator, insisted on addressing the courtroom, but was excused. The last juror to be picked was Milton Hausman, ward leader and anti-organi- zation man. McDowell opened the case for the plaintiff who testified in his own behalf explaining his version of the air accident. Francis Curtis was then called to the stand. Curtis told the court that he was a producer of musical comedies and that he was riding on the Route D, Mitten Airbus on Walnut Air Lane when the accident occurred. Walter Adams, business man, and Howard Franks, trainer of Olympic teams, corroborated Curtis' testimony. They, too, were passengers of the airbus. The additional information was elicited that defendant Witter had as a passenger a young woman, who was in the front seat with him. Further questioning brought out the statement by Franks that Witter was driving with one arm about the young lady. Hagerty grilled Franks for more than a half hour, but could not get him to retract this statement. At this stage in the proceedings court adjourned for lunch. As soon as the Judge went into his chambers, the courtroom began to buzz with loud conversation. Speculation on the outcome of the trial was universal, and everyone re- mained for fear of being unable to gain readmittance. Joseph B. Meade, financier and life- long friend of the defendant, was heard to remark that 4'Justice must be blind if it brings about such a state of affairs! Just before the end of the adjournment the news got into the courtroom that Milton Hos- kin had just won his match at Forest Hills, which meant that the U. S. was to retain the Davis Cup for another year. A moment after the Judge had reseated himself, Folwell Scull, Principal of the Select Preparatory School, and Foster Sanford, Athletic Director of the School, breezed in, arm in arm and stood up in the back of the overflowing courtroom. Other noted men who were forced to stand were Richard Samson, retired, Paul Rosen, head of the Meat Trust, and John Sebastian, 'Diamond Sculls Champion. When court reconvened, Witter was the first to testify in his defense. He denied that he was driving fast or that he had his arm around a young lady. He claimed that the young lady was an aunt and that she was sitting in the back seat. Cross examination failed to shake his story. 1 William Smith and Martin Maclntyre, who were on a pleasure jaunt in their two-seated Stutz airboat, told the court that Witter was alone at the time of the crash. The Judge inter- rupted here, and sternly declared, Gentlemen, youah stories are not at all alike. You all bettah go home and get them straight. Ah am goin' to let this case up in the air for the time being. Case dismissed! Thus ended the most interesting court trial of the generation. MEYER MADWAY. lt?
