...gory gusto of his "carving." But always Comrade Dr. Nelski sewed up his gaping incisions with admirable neatness - as neatly as a cobbler stitching uppers to a sole. Last week a stern Kiev judge sentenced "The Slasher" to six years in jail. He had confessed that his real name is Ivan Kolesnikov, his true profession shoemaking. Eight years ago, amid the chaos of post-Revolution Russia, he stole the diploma and paraphernalia of a certain assassinated Dr. Nelski, palmed himself off as a surgeon on ignorant Tashkenters. "I looked upon him as a man of practical efficiency," testified Kiev...
...held Widow Aderholt's hand, knelt before the jury, lay down on the floor and writhed (acting out Aderholt's death). He lost his boutonniere, got another, lost that too. He shouted at the jury: "Men. do your duty; do your duty, men, and in the name of God and justice render a verdict that will be emblazoned across the sky of America as an eternal sign that justice has been done." He asserted that the union headquarters in Gastonia had been "not a cross-section of hell, but a whole section of hell! There was immorality there...
...racket (TIME, Oct. 21). Last week the New York authorities started action against another, similar game, common to all big cities-"coöperative" selling of loose (unbottled) milk. The New York milk racket was notable and illustrative by virtue of its central figure, a lank, loose-knit individual named Larry Fay. First taxicabs, then night clubs were Larry Fay's game, the latter in collaboration with famed Mary Louise ("Texas") Guinan. Loose night clubs are crowded at the same, time of day that loose milk is delivered. When Prohibition closed one after another of his clubs, Larry...
...forgive Justice Saratzeanu for having been elected by Parliament to a vacancy among the three Regents of Rumania (TIME, Oct. 21), a vacancy which she had dearly coveted. As Her Majesty's special train chuffed off toward Balcic all Rumania gasped at an interview blazoned above her name by the Royalist newspaper Universal: "The royal family does not even know what it means to strive for honors and privileges. We do not need such distinctions. We are where we are to do our duty. That is all." Followed a charge that Peasant Prime Minister Juliu Maniu had offered...
...opened to the public, prize winners were announced. By that time the jury had dispersed. Painters and critics, never much pleased at Carnegie juries' selections, began to snarl, declaring that the canvases were picked by admen and suitable only for reproduction in Sunday supplements. This year no great name was accorded a prize. The first award was won by Felice Carena of Italy, whose picture The Studio was largest in the exhibition. It depicts the interior of an Italian atelier as it probably never appeared. Although it is oldfashioned, shrewd critics observed its prize-winning attributes-size, arresting subject...
