Against Boards of censorship.
San Francisco,. July 13. (U. P.)
Hostility toward any form of legalized
censorship of motion pictures was evi
dent at the opening of the fifth annual
convention and exposition of the Mo
tion Picture Exhibitors' League of
America here today. Delegates to the
convention intend to bring up the
question during the convention.
'The public should judge pictures,"
declared Peter J. Jeup of Detroit, na
tional treasurer, We object to any
censorship board. If the public ob
jects to, any picture it can show its
disapproval ' by -refusing . to patronize
the theatre . showing' that picture. It
is Impossible to imagine a more ef
fective censorship." r
Speakers at the convention hold that
motion picture manufacturers are en
titled to all the privileges of the press
and. that the public must act as Judge.

the cross examination of ' Dr. Austin

pleted In the sanity trial - of Harry

was that Flint had proved to be Thaw's
own" best .witness. ;
John B. Stanchfleld, counsel for the
defendant, bombarded Flint with ques
tions which proved to be embarrassing
to ' the ' witness." "The " alienist was
worsted repeatedly - in tilts fwlth , the
attorney while Thaw listened with glee
as Flint was led from one tangle Into
another. ; .- ; i i .:
' "Thaw Is-now. and always has been
a hopeless and incurable paranoiac.".
was the statement to which Dr. Flint
clung steadfastly throughout the cross
examination, despite the labyrinth of
questions through which he was led.
Paid $18 an Sour. , j
These declarations did "not ' bother
Thaw in the least. Apparently satts-
ziea j toat most oc . r tint s testimony
was going in bis ravor he busied him
self with books and maps, continuing
the planning of the motor trip he in
tends to take to the Panama-Pacific
Exposition at San Francisco.
"You j have been paid upwards of

case, haven't you?" Stanchfleld' asked
Flint. . . i-
"1 have not," the alienist snapped
in repiy. - - . - - i - r'
Stanchfleld, then pressed him for an
accurate estimate of the amount he
had received. ; Flint said; he could not
say " just what he had -been paid, but
admitted ; that .he. was paid Jig .4 an
hour and realized mora than. 15000 au
of Tliaw'aiJflrat trial o- the charge-of
Dr. Flint waa also one of the alien

questioning-aa to; how mach Dr.vFiint
had been paid for his -.various appear

while discussing Thaw's mental state

. "I would bot -call -his efforts to

Amidst the general 'laughter which
swept "the courtroom, could be heard
that of Thaw, who apparently enjoyed
the alienist's remark thoroughly. ,
"Do you mean to say that Thaw has
tried to hypnotize you?" asked Justice
Hendrlck. i
"Yes. he has sat arid looked at me
for 15 minute 3 straight," .Dr. Flint
replied. "That is one of his delusions.'
- The state this afternoon closed its
case in the jury proceedings; to de
