...three hitchhikers, Luther Arnold, his wife, and their 12-year-old daughter, Geraldine. She induced Arnold to let her keep the girl, thinking that her presence would detract suspicion. Then she persuaded Arnold to get in touch with her lawyers. She explained that two of the defendants on trial for the Urschel kidnapping in Oklahoma City, Farmer Shannon and his wife, were her parents. Arnold was to find out what Prosecutor Herbert K. Hyde had done about her offer to surrender her husband in return for the release of her parents. She gave Arnold some money and a car, then...
Meanwhile one of the trial's sidelights had the attention of the world Press and the Foreign Offices of two countries. It had been announced that no Communist or Socialist newspaper men would be admitted to the long press tables of the Leipzig trial. Two Moscow correspondents, Mme Lili Keith of Izvestia and M.

All Germany was prepared to believe him guilty. Yet in London fortnight ago a committee of international jurists had held an unofficial trial of the same case, produced important witnesses, listened to reams of testimony, and convinced most...
...years later a Christian Internationale dedicated to "world awakening" through small local prayer groups. Japan's churches, with 250,000 members, took to the Kingdom of God inasmuch as it aimed to expand and unify their work. Even Buddhists and Shintoists admired it. This year when the first trial period was over, the Kingdom of God leaders voted to continue the same program for two years more. But henceforth Toyohiko Kagawa will no longer lead the Kingdom of God. In his plans the social and economic duties of the churches loomed large. He would build a backfire against Communism...
