After a change of venue, Mrs. Muench was acquitted of the kidnapping charge by a jury of farmers and small shopkeepers at Mexico, Mo. (TIME, Oct. 21). Under terrific pressure from Press and public, the habeas corpus hearing began in St. Louis only ten days later. Some strange testimony was adduced...

Simultaneously the uppermost main layer of the ionosphere (radio-reflecting region of electrified air) rose from 155 mi. to a record height...

Wilson Observatory if anything peculiar had showed up in the spectrohelioscope observations on the fade-out days. Back came word that on July 6, Aug. 30 and Oct. 24, within a few minutes of the fading, huge clumps of gas on the sun had manifested marked changes in form and behavior...
