Witness Describes Plan For Violence
Christian Front
9 Member Wanted
To Kill 12SoIons
Government's Principal
* Witness Tells of
Attending Meetings
NEW YORK — (UP) — The
f' chief government witness at the
trial of 17 men accused of con-
spiracy to overthrow the Unit-
ed States government testified
Monday that one of the defend-
( ants advocated "going to Wash-
ington and shooting 12 congress-
men to show that the Christian
Front meant business."
The witness was Dennis A.
— Healy who told the jury in
* Brooklyn federal court that he
had attended 10 meetings in
which the defendants participat-
ed in 1030. At some of the meet-
ings, Healy said, agents of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
0 listened from hiding places. At
others, recording devices were
installed to pick up the conver-
sation.
Reign of Terror Planned
The defendant who made the
suggestion about shooting con-
gressmen. Healy said, was John
F. Cassidv, alleged to be one of
the leaders of the conspiracy
which, the government charged,
was designed to institute a reign
of terror in New York, assault1
Jews, dynamite public buildings
and eventually seize the govern-
ment.
Quoting Cassidy's statements
at one of the meetings, Healy
said:
"He said the Christian Front
could not openly advocate shoot-
ing congressmen, but he. him-
self (Cassidy) would advocate
going to Washington and shoot-
ing 12 congressmen to show that
the Christian Front meant busi-
ness."
At various points in Healy's
testimony, members of the de-
fense counsel objected that his
statements were iirevelent but
were denied by Judge Marcus R.
Campbell.
Two motions for mistrial, bas-
ed on the grounds that the de-
fendants' constitutional , rights
were being violated, also were
denied.

In Adriatic Seen
ROME— (UP) — Authoritative
quarters reported Monday that
the Italian and Jugoslav govern-
ments were considering closing
the Adriatic sea to ail foreign
warships.
Italy, Jugoslavia and Italy's
dependency, Albania, share the
Adriatic coastline and regard
the Adriatic as their private sea.
Italy could close the Adriatic
herself but because of her friend-
ly relations with Jugoslavia it
was considered natural that she
would not take so important a
step without the consent of the
Belgrade government.
British warships have been
reported in the Adriatic threat-
ening Jugoslavia's commerce
with Germany through Trieste,
the Italian Adriatic port.

beyond earthly interference at
10,200 feet.

was seen to cross the sun a-; a
dark disc and finally at the
maximum phase it left only a
ring resembling molten metal
at white heat.
The phenomenon which rea-
ched its climax here at 5:08 p. m.

ODESSA — t UPl — Isabelle
Mcssmer, diminutive convicted
slayer, has escaped the Ector
county jail through failure of a
jailer to lock a jail door.
The high-spirited killer of Bu-
ford Armstrong, once a House
of David baseball player, walked
out of her cell, climbed through
a jail window and down a iat-
tiee from the third floor cell
block.
Her absence was discovered
Monday when her breakfast was
taken to her.
Miss Messmer, who once es-
caped a New Jersey reforma-
tory, was wearing wine colored
slacks, a brown blouse, black
tam and tan oxfords. She has a
dark complexion, is five feet one
inch tall and weighs about 100
pounds.
An all-morning search by city,
county and state officers disclos-
ed no trace of her. It was be-
lieved she hitch-hiked a high-
way ride or rode a westbound
freight.
A deputy sheriff took food to
her Sunday and forgot to lock
the lever box outside of the
jail hospital ward where she
was confined. She had been in a
vicious temper since her three-
year sentence in the Armstrong
shooting and had gone for sev-
eral days refusing to eat.
Miss Messmer used a bar from
her bed to reach out and lift the
lever to obtain her freedom from
the hospital ward.
Her appeal for new trial was
denied Saturday.
