To news of bygone weeks, herewith sequels from last week's news:

P: To the trial of Pennsylvania's Senator James John ("Puddler Jim") Davis, long-time Secretary of Labor, for alleged con-spiracy in the charity ball lottery conducted by the Loyal Order of Moose, of which he was director general (TIME, Oct. 10, 1932): acquittal in a Manhattan Federal Court, following a defense plea that Director General Davis knew nothing about Moose inside affairs. P: To the clumsy attempt of James Medley, 25, former gasoline station manager, and Nicolina Antoinette De Palma, 22, trained nurse, to extort $10,000 from Franklin A. Batcheller of Yonkers on threat of kidnapping his daughter, Mrs. John K. Dougherty, niece of Morgan Partner Russell Cornell Leffingwell (TIME, Oct. 2): sentences by Federal Judge Alfred Conkling Coxe upon Medley to ten years, Miss De Palma to five years in prison.

P: To the crash of Illinois Life Insurance Co. which had $140,000,000 of policies outstanding (TIME, Dec. 5, 1932): its Vice President Ernest James Stevens, son of its Chairman James W. Stevens (indicted but too ill to stand trial) and brother of Raymond W. Stevens (who committed suicide before trial) was convicted in Chicago of embezzling $1,208,463 because he gave his approval to two unsecured loans made by the insurance com-pany to the Stevens Hotel ($22,000,000 family hostelry which went into receiver-ship).
