Trial Starts For
London Killer
Of Seven Women
LONDON, Lft—John R. Christie
mumbled to a jury in old Bailey
Court Tuesday he may have killed
more than the seven women ad
mitted by his counsel.
The 55-year-old balding clerk
held his head low as his lawyer,
Derek Curtis-Bennett, repeatedly
urged Christie to speak up and
asked:
“May you have done more kill
ings than you are going to talk
.about?”
“I do not know,” mumbled
Christie. “I may have done.”
Christie, whose trial opened
ivfonday, pleaded innocent by rea
son of insanity. His lawyer de
clared Tuesday he was as “mad
as a March hare.”
Christie is being tried specific
ally on the charge of murdering
his 54-year-old wife, Ethel, but
admitted in statements read to the
court Tuesday the strangling or
gassing of six other younger wo
men in mad sex orgies beginning
in 1943 when he was a wartime
special policeman.
One of the victims was the wife
of a man Christie’s testimony
helped send to the gallows four
years age/ The husband, 19-year
old Timothy Evans, was sentenced
to death in the slaying of his baby
daughter, the eighth known mur
der in the down-at-the-heel Not
ing Hill section of London.
Two were London playgirls,
identified by a police inspector as
Ruth Margaret Christine Fuerst,
an Austrian, and Muriel Amelia
Eady, who were killed in 1943.
Their skeletons were dug up in
Christie’s garden.
The bodies of three other wo
men have been found walled up
in the murder house.

Main Street, U.S.A., 1953
Acquiring A New Look
4 Dark, dangerous and
uninviting.
Bright, sate and
enjoyable. O
CLEVELAND, 0. — A “new
look” is coming to Main Street,
U.S.A.
/ The nation’s smaller towns are
acquiring a big-city appearance
by brightening up their main
thoroughfares with new street
lights.
Representatives of The National
Street and Traffic Safety Lighting
Bureau, traveling the country’s
highways, report a 25 per cent in
crease in night activities in towns
with newly-lighted main streets.
More people are shopping at night
and evening attendance at
churches, club meetings, theaters
and sports events is at a new high.
Many towns report their stores
open every evening and many out
of-towners taking advantage of
evening recreational and other
facilities. More tourists are re
ported stopping overnight.
Officials of these “new look’'
towns say they relighted their
main streets to curb night acci
dents and crime and Nave been
greatly surprised at the increased
evening business, civic pride and
community activities which have
followed the relighting.
Communist Party Says
Rosenberg Atom Spies
“Two Immortal Patriots”
NEW YORK, UP)—1The Commu
nist Party had its official say
about the Rosenberg spy execu
tions Tuesday, and called the cou
ple “two immortal American pa
triots.”
The statement was published in
the Daily Worker, party journal,
over the signatures of William Z.
Foster, party chairman, Pettis
Perry and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn.
The statement said “the' claim
the Rosenbergs ‘had their day in
court’ is a mockery of truth and
justice. The Supreme Court was
reconvened illegally to cancel the
stay of execution, and met with a
pistol to its head in the form of
impeachment threats, in an at
mosphere of a Southern lynch
town.”
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
were electrocuted at Sing Sing
Friday for conspiring to betray
U.S. atomic bomb secrets to Rus
sia. The case was appealed to the
Supreme Court five times. It met
in special session last week after
Justice William O. Douglas grant
ed a stay on the grounds the cou
ple might not have been tried
under the law dealing specifically
with atomic espionage.
The»tongue of a bird plays little
if any part in its song, which
comes from its throat.
