New Brunswick, N. J. (HE)— , The case of Margaret Drennan, charged with the murder of the father of her unborn child, was given at 1:17 p.m. to a Jury in- structed to And her homicide justified if the 11 men and one woman should agree that she shot Paul Beeves to avoid be- ing ravished. New Brunswick, N. J. <UJR)-»-De- fense counsel for Margaret Dren- nan, twenty-year-old secretarial student who killed the father of (her unborn child, asked a jury to- day to exonerate her of murder charges on the contention that "a woman has the absolute right to kill a man who attempts to at- tack her." The summation by George Burt- on marked the opening of the day's court session which was expected to produce a verdict before night- fall. Miss Drennan, who fled the home of Paul Beeves where she had gone to question him about her ap- proaching motherhood, had testified that she shot him when he at- tacked her. Burton detailed the sequence of •vents climaxed by the discovery of the handsome mill hand's bullet- punctured and nude body was found on the night of Sept. 7 and the arrest of Miss Drennan. Calls Slain Man "Cad." He referred to the defendant as a "normal American girl—a good girl" whose life was uneventful be- fore she met Beeves last February. In speaking of their introduction he remarked that Miss Drennan first knew Beeves as Jack Lyons, "the trade name under which he operated with girls." , What started as an automobile ride on Aug. 7. Burton said, de- veloped''into the attack of a "sex- crazed" man upon a "littl* Country girl—an innocent little Child." * After that first attack on a coun- try roadside, the attorney said, Beeves turned "to this little girl who felt her life was ruined" and snarled: I "Listen, if you make any trouble Ifor me I'm going to kill you/' i He described Beeves as a "cad," groughneck" and "big muscular 175-pound fellow" whose strength Miss Drennan "already knew and eared." Feared Second Attack. Bealizing her condition, Burton continued, Margaret stopped Peeves on the street and the fatal rendezvous was arranged and clinched by Beeves' remark that •my wife won't be home tonight." That remark, Burton went on, Itroused Miss Drennan's suspicions .t Beeves planned a second as- ult. As a result she put her ther's pistol in her pocket "for otection" before she went to eeves home. Burton then described the strug- e in the Beeves home which arted when the mill' hand, "ab- olutely naked," called Miss Dren- an into the darkened house and 'sprang upon her." The only question in the case," urton said, "is: Did that man try attack this girl? Well, what do n think he made all those prepa- tions for?" He concluded with a reference to 1 defendant's Impending mother- bod. "In a few short months," he said, he will have to look down upon e face of her child in which she see the living features of the she killed. "Punishment! That's punish- ent enough." When he finished, Miss Drennan sobbing audibly. A five-minute ess was ordered and a matron assisted her from the courtroom. Prosecutor Charles Morris, sum- ning up for the state, declared that t had been "proved beyond pos- itble doubt that Margaret Dren- lan murdered Paul Beeves."

Shanghai (UP.)—Chinese soldiers, attacking in face of terrific fire from Japanese machine guns, threw the Japanese back from two import- ant sectors of the Shanghai front tonight (Friday), according to Chinese reports from field head- quarters. It was asserted that the Chinese recaptured the famous Black Prince Temple near Woosung Creek, which the Japanese stormed several days ago, and defeated the Japanese in the Tazang area north of Sharighai. The Japanese had taken fwo vil- lages near Tazang this morning, and were only a mile away from Tazang itself. Then a call came for reinforcements from other sec- tors. Men were withdrawn from both villages. As soon as they had gone the Chinese attacked in force and, it was asserted, forced the Japanese out of the villages and back for a mile all along that part of the line. The Black Prince Temple was attacked four times in face of di- rect machine gun fire before it was taken. Chinese spokesmen said. Losses Staggering. Chinese and Japanese alike said that the fighting was increasing in intensity with every hour and was on a bigger scale than at any lime since the battle for Shanghai start- ed Aug. 13.

Candi- date for District Attor- ney, Charges Troy Con- cern Got Contract. Speaking last night at a com- bined meeting of the Social Justice and Bepublican Parties in the Har- mony Hotel Hall, Cohoes, Karl Wasmuth, attorney and G. O. P. candidate for the post of Albany County district attorney, charged that local residents were deprived of employment and local concerns deprived of business when out-of- town sources were used by the present city administration in con- nection with repairs to one of the Harmony Mill9 properties. Mr. Wasmuth said in part: "I wish to call to the attention of the citizens of Cohoes one of the many ways our city suffers by having as its mayor, Frank S. Ablett. I do not want what is said here to be taken as criticism against any ad- ministration for aiding the expan- sion of industry in this city be- cause I believe it is the duty of any administration to do all it can to further employment and we all know that Cohoes needs employ- ment." Harmony Mills Case. The Bepublican candidate stated that during the first year of Mayor Ablett's administration a concern located in one of the Harmony Mills' properties said they would for reports speak of hand to hand fighting in every active, sector. Chinese and Japanese airplanes' and artillery were blasting each others' lines mercilessly day and night It seemed at last the final battle for Shanghai was In fullest fury and that, except for periods of absolute exhaustion, it must con- tinue to the end. The Japanese were trying to de- velop their "big push." But every time, the Chinese picked the weak- est points in their lines and launched counter-attacks in such great force as to be small offen- sives themselves. The Chinese reported that the Japanese, realizing the task that faced them, were landing 20,000 men who apparently had arrived from Japan. Japanese Halted. » It was evident, as the day drew to its close, that the Japanese had made little effective progress and the Chinese asserted thai some Japanese in the Tazang sector were in danger of isolation. , There was little news from the North.

Five Cows and Horse Suc- cumb in $10,000 Blaze on Charles Hayes* Farm; Origin of Fire Unknown. Fire of mysterious origin last evening swept a barn on the farm of Charles Hayes on the Cam- bridge-Lauderdale B o a d and burned it to the ground, destroy- ing five cows, one horse, some ma- chinery and fifty tons of hay. Damage was estimated by Mr. Hayes, who said "$10,000 would not cover the loss." The Salem Pumper, called to as- sist the Cambridge Chemical Co., made a lengthy trip as a result of having misunderstood the farmer's name. Understanding it as Charles Hedges and not Charles' Hayes, the pumper went to the former's farm at Shushan, before being correctly directed to the Lauderdale farm. Mr. Hayes and his helpers are completely at a loss to explain the origin of the fire, which In less than two hour* after the men had put the cattle in the batn for the night was roaring beyond control from the roof of the building. A corn house nearby was caught by the flame* but firemen saved it In the blazing interior, five cows and a horse were cremated and a second horse so badly burned that It is doubtful It can be saved. One horse and a c ° w broke loose and were dashing toward the house when the fire was discovered. According to Mr. Hayes, every- thing had been in order in the barn when he finished putting the cat- tle in at S p.m. Between 6:30 and 7 p.m., however, when he started again for the barn to milk, he saw •moke pouring from the barn roof and neighbors running toward the house to tell him of the fire. An automobile and some machin- ery in the fields escaped destruc- tion as did some other machinery belonging on the farm which had been loaned to neighbors. The loss, according to Mr. Hayes, is partly covered by Insurance. GENERAL'S WHJOW DEAD.

Attorneys representing the Be- publican-Independent Democratic Campaign Committee today advised Diet. Atty. Charles J. Banney that "we decline to comply with the re- cent request of your office that we furnish you with all the evidence against the defendants" in four cases arising from alleged irregu- larities in the September Primary Election. It was stated "it is our Intention to submit the evidence in these matters to a grand jury sub- sequent to Jan. 1, 1938." Immediately following receipt of this communication by the district attorney's office, Charles G. Ma- loy, assistant district attorney, an- nounced that subpoenas "will be issued to bring in the complain- ants and all witnesses."

garet Drennan of Murder Charge; Widow Causes Uproar in Court. New Brunswick, N. J. (HE)—

, The case of Margaret Drennan, charged with the murder of the father of her unborn child, was given at 1:17 p.m. to a Jury in­structed to And her homicide justified if the 11 men and one woman should agree that she shot Paul Beeves to avoid be­ing ravished.

New Brunswick, N. J. <UJR)-»-De-fense counsel for Margaret Dren­nan, twenty-year-old secretarial student who killed the father of (her unborn child, asked a jury to­day to exonerate her of murder charges on the contention that "a woman has the absolute right to kill a man who attempts to at­tack her."

The summation by George Burt­on marked the opening of the day's court session which was expected to produce a verdict before night­fall.

Miss Drennan, who fled the home of Paul Beeves where she had gone to question him about her ap­proaching motherhood, had testified that she shot him when he at­tacked her.

Burton detailed the sequence of •vents climaxed by the discovery of the handsome mill hand's bullet-punctured and nude body was found on the night of Sept. 7 and the arrest of Miss Drennan.

Calls Slain Man "Cad." He referred to the defendant as

a "normal American girl—a good girl" whose life was uneventful be­fore she met Beeves last February. In speaking of their introduction he remarked that Miss Drennan first knew Beeves as Jack Lyons, "the trade name under which he operated with girls." , What started as an automobile ride on Aug. 7. Burton said, de­veloped''into the attack of a "sex-crazed" man upon a "littl* Country girl—an innocent little Child." * After that first attack on a coun­try roadside, the attorney said, Beeves turned "to this little girl who felt her life was ruined" and snarled: I "Listen, if you make any trouble Ifor me I'm going to kill you/' i He described Beeves as a "cad," groughneck" and "big muscular 175-pound fellow" whose strength Miss Drennan "already knew and eared."

Feared Second Attack. Bealizing her condition, Burton

continued, Margaret s t o p p e d Peeves on the street and the fatal rendezvous was arranged and clinched by Beeves' remark that •my wife won't be home tonight."

That remark, Burton went on, Itroused Miss Drennan's suspicions

.t Beeves planned a second as-ult. As a result she put her ther's pistol in her pocket "for otection" before she went to

eeves home. Burton then described the strug-e in the Beeves home which arted when the mill' hand, "ab-

olutely naked," called Miss Dren-an into the darkened house and

'sprang upon her." The only question in the case,"

urton said, "is: Did that man try attack this girl? Well, what do n think he made all those prepa-tions for?" He concluded with a reference to 1 defendant's Impending mother-bod. "In a few short months," he said, he will have to look down upon e face of her child in which she

see the living features of the she killed.

"Punishment! That's punish-ent enough." When he finished, Miss Drennan

sobbing audibly. A five-minute ess was ordered and a matron

assisted her from the courtroom. Prosecutor Charles Morris, sum-

ning up for the state, declared that t had been "proved beyond pos-itble doubt that Margaret Dren-lan murdered Paul Beeves."

He added quickly that she loved e handsome mill band, submitted llllngly to him, and was not at-

FOE AND LAUNCH OWN OFFENSIVE

Losses on Both Sides Re­ported Heavy in Savage Fighting; Bomb Lands in International Zone.

Shanghai (UP.)—Chinese soldiers, attacking in face of terrific fire from Japanese machine guns, threw the Japanese back from two import­ant sectors of the Shanghai front tonight (Friday), according to Chinese reports from field head­quarters.

It was asserted that the Chinese recaptured the famous Black Prince Temple near Woosung Creek, which the Japanese stormed several days ago, and defeated the Japanese in the Tazang area north of Sharighai.

The Japanese had taken fwo vil­lages near Tazang this morning, and were only a mile away from Tazang itself. Then a call came for reinforcements from other sec­tors. Men were withdrawn from both villages. As soon as they had gone the Chinese attacked in force and, it was asserted, forced the Japanese out of the villages and back for a mile all along that part of the line.

The Black Prince Temple was attacked four times in face of di­rect machine gun fire before it was taken. Chinese spokesmen said.

Losses Staggering. Chinese and Japanese alike said

that the fighting was increasing in intensity with every hour and was on a bigger scale than at any lime since the battle for Shanghai start­ed Aug. 13. Losses on both sides

date for District Attor­ney, Charges Troy Con­cern Got Contract.

Speaking last night at a com­bined meeting of the Social Justice and Bepublican Parties in the Har­mony Hotel Hall, Cohoes, Karl Wasmuth, attorney and G. O. P. candidate for the post of Albany County district attorney, charged that local residents were deprived of employment and local concerns deprived of business when out-of-town sources were used by the present city administration in con­nection with repairs to one of the Harmony Mill9 properties.

Mr. Wasmuth said in part: "I wish to call to the attention of the citizens of Cohoes one of the many ways our city suffers by having as its mayor, Frank S. Ablett. I do not want what is said here to be taken as criticism against any ad­ministration for aiding the expan­sion of industry in this city be­cause I believe it is the duty of any administration to do all it can to further employment and we all know that Cohoes needs employ­ment."

Harmony Mills Case. The Bepublican candidate stated

that during the first year of Mayor Ablett's administration a concern located in one of the Harmony Mills' properties said they would

for reports speak of hand to hand fighting in every active, sector.

Chinese and Japanese airplanes' and artillery were blasting each others' lines mercilessly day and night It seemed at last the final battle for Shanghai was In fullest fury and that, except for periods of absolute exhaustion, it must con­tinue to the end.

The Japanese were trying to de­velop their "big push." But every time, the Chinese picked the weak­est points in their lines and launched counter-attacks in such great force as to be small offen­sives themselves.

The Chinese reported that the Japanese, realizing the task that faced them, were landing 20,000 men who apparently had arrived from Japan.

Japanese Halted. » It was evident, as the day drew

to its close, that the Japanese had made little effective progress and the Chinese asserted thai some Japanese in the Tazang sector were in danger of isolation. ,

There was little news from the North. The Techow correspondent of the Dome! News Agency report-

Chester J. Atkinson as chairman of the Unemployment Census Com­mittee.

Mr. Dunne will announce his committee composed of approxi­mately 25 members within a few days.

This census is part of a national unemployment census being con­ducted by John D. Biggers, federal administrator. -

The census will be conducted through the Postoffice Department. Blanks will be distributed by mail­men on Nov. 16 and 17 with in­structions to have the blanks re­turned by midnight, Nov. 20. These blanks will be filled out by persons unemployed or partly unemployed.

Citing Section 3 of the general city law which provides that no public officers of any city be di­rectly or indirectly interested in any contract, the expense and con­sideration whereof is payable out of the city treasury, Mr. Wasmuth declared that Mayor Ablett, be­cause he was a stockholder of rec­ord in the Harmony Mills, at­tempted to have the work done "without the fact becoming known, thereby robbing Gohoesiers of em­ployment and preventing material from being purchased from Co­hoes concerns."

"Troy Concern Got Order." The candidate stated the admin­

istration had a Troy concern sup­ply the lumber for the floor de­spite the fact that there are three lumber yards in Cohoes and that the Troy concern also supplied the help to lay the floor, "all of whom were Troy people and, I understand, non-union."

Paint used for the walls and ceiling was also purchased out-of-town, Wasmuth stated and was done by Waterford workmen who, "according to my understanding were non-union."

At the conclusion of his address Mr. Wasmuth urged the election of Dr. Joseph A. Amyot, Bepubli­can mayoralty candidate.

Five Cows and Horse Suc­cumb in $10,000 Blaze on Charles Hayes* Farm; Origin of Fire Unknown.

Fire of mysterious origin last evening swept a barn on the farm of Charles Hayes on the Cam­bridge-Lauderdale B o a d a n d burned it to the ground, destroy­ing five cows, one horse, some ma­chinery and fifty tons of hay. Damage was estimated by Mr. Hayes, who said "$10,000 would not cover the loss."

The Salem Pumper, called to as­sist the Cambridge Chemical Co., made a lengthy trip as a result of having misunderstood the farmer's name. Understanding it as Charles Hedges and not Charles' Hayes, the pumper went to the former's farm at Shushan, before being correctly directed to the Lauderdale farm.

Mr. Hayes and his helpers are completely at a loss to explain the origin of the fire, which In less than two hour* after the men had put the cattle in the batn for the night was roaring beyond control from the roof of the building.

A corn house nearby was caught by the flame* but firemen saved i t

In the blazing interior, five cows and a horse were cremated and a second horse so badly burned that It is doubtful It can be saved. One horse and a c ° w broke loose and were dashing toward the house when the fire was discovered.

According to Mr. Hayes, every­thing had been in order in the barn when he finished putting the cat­tle in at S p.m. Between 6:30 and 7 p.m., however, when he started again for the barn to milk, he saw •moke pouring from the barn roof and neighbors running toward the house to tell him of the fire.

An automobile and some machin­ery in the fields escaped destruc­tion as did some other machinery belonging on the farm which had been loaned to neighbors.

The loss, according to Mr. Hayes, is partly covered by Insurance.

Assistant District Attorney Announces Subpoenas Will Be Issued to Bring in Complainants, Witnesses.

Attorneys representing the Be-publican-Independent Democratic Campaign Committee today advised Diet. Atty. Charles J. Banney that "we decline to comply with the re­cent request of your office that we furnish you with all the evidence against the defendants" in four cases arising from alleged irregu­larities in the September Primary Election. It was stated "it is our Intention to submit the evidence in these matters to a grand jury sub­sequent to Jan. 1, 1938."
