LOS ANGELES. Aug. 27. Dr.
Tbomaa W. Young, dwtlst, on trial
here for the murder of his wife and
the .burying of her body In a cis
tern, killed himself in the county
jail here early today.
County employes discovered the
dentist's body In bis cell where he
had strangled himself with a piece
of wire. He had been dead for
some time when the body was
found.
The wire used by Dr. Young waa
probably smuggled In to him, the
county Jailor sa.d. Permission had
been asked several days ago to
take a coll of wire into Young's
cell, ostensibly for use In rigging
a radio receiving set, but this was
denied. The dentist had twisted
the wire about hla neck and then
turned tt tightly with a stick.
Assistant County Jailor George
Palmer visited Young's cell at five
minutes to six thia morning and
roused him with Instructions to
'prepare himself for court where
j his trial Is In progress. An hour
I later, County Jailor Croushorn was
! summoned to the tank by the pr
isoners' distress eignal. When he
'.-reached Young's- cell, the dentist
was dead.
The Jail physician shortly after
an examination announced that Dr.
Young had been dead for more
than a half hour. Indicating that
jhe had garroted himself a few min
utes after the first call.
Harry B. Foster, cell mate of Dr.
j Young, said that the dentist ap
peared In high spirits after he was
awakened at six o'clock.
I "I'm going to sWp a little long
ier:1' Foster said Young told him.
"call me when breakfast is ready."
Dr. Young then pulled the blank
lets over his head. Forty-five mln
lutes later, Foster said, he called
his fellow prisoner and there was
no reply.
"Don't be so lazy, Doc, here's
your ham and eggs," Foster called
to him again.
Whn a reply was not had the
second time, Foster said he threw
(bark the covers, to find that the
I wire about the dentist's throat had
bitten deep In the flesh and the
,man who was on trial charged with
I murdering his wealthy wife In one
'of the outstanding crimes of Los
iAngtles county was dead.
Htory of The llme
Dr. Young was on trial charg
ed with suffocating hla wife Feb
jruary 21, last, with a lethal gas
'and hiding her body in an un
'completed cistern at their week
jend -cabin at Hevery Glen, near
I here. Then, the state charged,
he poured concrete over the body
la few days later. He was asslst
ed by Patrick Grogan, Jr., the
slain woman's son, who was not
I aware his mothers body was In
(the pit.
j The trial has been under way
since Aguust 17 and today the
:Jury hearing the evidence was to

which, the district attorney said,

CLF.VKLANM, Ohio, Aug. 27.
The conduct of Clarence. Har
row in the Scopes trial In Day
ton, Tenn.. was pointed lo today
by Carrington T. Marshall, chief
justice of the Ohio supreme court
as an "example of the tinthcical
practloner which should bring up
on him the condemnation of all
self-respecting members of the
bench and bar."
The chief Justice's criticism
was made In an address to some
200 law students sworn In as at
torneys here.
"The law of that cae whs plain
and simple." he said. Neither the
Indictment nor the statute under
which the Indictment was framed
contained any mention of evolu
tion, neither did they In the re
motest degree involve or neces
sarily provoke any discussion of
the theory of evolution.
"The Tennessee statute provi
des that It shall be unlawful for
any teacher In any or the public
schools of the stHte to teach any
t henrv that denied the story of
the divine creation of man or
to teach that man has descended
from a lower order of animals.
Thst the forbidden doctrines were
so taught was freely admitted by
the defendant. No defense was
therefore open except that of the
constitutional validity of the law
Itself.
"And yet narrow nniiKht lo
hltiTf the Judge Into admitting ex
pert evidence on the theory of
evolution."
