17. (NEA Service). -The fervid public attenwhich centered on Ruth Snyder in Sing Sing prison, New York, a short time ago, centers today on a 21-year-old American girl, Doris McDonald, in the women's Jail here. Doris McDonald is waiting in the women's jail for the dawn of 23, when with her husband, George McDonald, she is to be taken out and hanged for the murder of a taxi driver. There is no hope for the husband.

It is generally believed that there 18 little, 11 any, for the girl. Only a reprieve from Viscount Willingdon, governor general of Canada, can save her. She Doesn't Care Doris McDonald, who used to boast that she was "tough," but who now 18 moody and acquiescent, doesn't care. From day to day she sits in her cell and mourns--not for herself, but for her husband. "If George dies, I want to die too," she has told her guardians time and again.

"I don't want live without him. If he swings, let me swing too." It happens Doris McDonald bore the name of Snyder in childhood. She was born Elinor May Wilth Snyder, ing, W. Hazel Snyder, now child of Lee Snyder, now. of Wheelof Chicago.

She was first married in New York in 1925. There was a divorce, and the girl then wedded George McDonald, a Canadian from Saint John, New Brunswick. Flight Follows Crime The couple arrived in Montreal on July 15 last year. man giving the name of Fred Palmer accompanied them. They check forgers and confidence tricksters, but murder wasn't in their line--then.

McDonAld posed as a commander in the U. 8. Navy. When they disappeared two days later, they left behind a trail of unpaid bills and false notes. They left in a Packard car driven by Odelard Bouchard, French Canadian, who lived with his wife and eight children at Lachine, a few miles from Montreal.

Bouchard never was seen alive again. A Bit of Masquerading That same night, Sunday, July 17, the trio arrived in the Packard at the Trout River Immigration Post on the Vermont border. Palmer posed Mrs. McDonald's while McDonald, posed Mrs. as McDonald Bouchard.

His money, $200, was stolen. Nearby WAS found woman's slip, skirt, hat, shoes, and stockings, some of them spattered with blood.

They later were identifled as Doris McDonald's. For six weeks the McDonalds dropped completely out of sight. Then they were arrested in Butte, Montana, under the name of Carter. for passing false checks. A revolver they had was of the same calibre as the bullets found in Bouchard's body.

They were extradited to Canada and trial commenced December 6 in the little country town Valleyfield. Palmer, their companion, never was found.

LEADER GIVES ADDRESS Mrs. Carter Wright of Alabama Speaks at Annual Church Society Session That human beings cannot be cit1zens of two kingdoms, and that the kingdom of God is far more important than the kingdom of the world, was the theme of the address given Friday, night at the annual banquet the Woman's Missionary Union by Mrs. Carter Wright, of Birmingham, president of the organization for the state of Alabama, and southern chairman of the ruby anniversary committee. The complete text of Mrs. Wright's address was as follows: "The Woman's Missionary Union has for its basic principle the thought that we are 'laborers together with and we are building nothing less than the eternal kingdom.

"There are many titles of Jesus. One that we seldom think of is King, but He was a King. While He was here upon earth He talked about the Kingdom of God more than any other one thing. He taught his disciples to pray first of all 'Thy Kingdom "The Kingdom of God means the reign of Christ Jesus in the hearts of men.

Serious -minded men everywhere are sensible to the dangers of the world situation. "Nevertheless there is a Kingdom of God, even in this world today, though it is is still true that the great Kingdom recognized by many and crowned by only the few. Even when Jesus walked upon the earth few recognized Him as King. Among the few who did was the thief on the cross, and when Jesus had been nailed to the cross, stripped of every outward thing that would grip men's loyalty He was so majestic in His dying that the crucified felon looked into His eyes and saluted Him as King. Painfully He said, 'Lord, remember me when Thy comest into Thy No doubt these words caused a fresh ripple of jeers from the brutal soldiers at the foot of the cross.

U.S. OFFICIAL UNDER FIRE Federal Trade Commissioner Meyers Target of Attack by Senate Body Washington, Feb. 17 fire was directed Friday at Abraham F.

Myers, former assistant attorney general and now a federal trade commissioner at public hearings before a senate judiciary sub-committee. Documentary Evidence Documentary evidence was presented by Federal District Judge Morris A. Sopher, Baltimore, tending not only to impeach Myers' previous testimony before the sub-committee but also indicating that a copy letter written by Judge Sopher had been materially altered before its presentation to the sub-committee by Myers as evidence. "It seems to be not only lying, but forgery," exclaimed Chairman Borah, Myers will be called by the committee next week and given an opporto explain. If he is unable satisfy the sub-committee, the chairman indicated that further steps would be taken, but he did not disclose their nature.

Judge Sopher appeared at his own request to protest against strictures on him contained in the sub-committee's majority report dealing with the entry of the consent dissolution decree against the Ward Food Products company and the simultaneous of a Clayton act complaint against the Continen- tal Baking company. Crux of Case The crux of the case was that Myers had contended he formed Judge Sopher when presenting the consent decree that the complaint against the Continental Baking company before the federal trade commission was to be dismissed upon the entry of the decree, that having been a part of the agreement between the government and the baking interests. The consent decree Itself said that in view of the complaint before the trade commission against the Continental petition under the Clayton act filed in the district court at Baltimore was dismissed, making 110 mention of the contemplated action by the commission. Judge Sopher told the committee that Myers had not told him of the proposal to dismiss the action before the trade commission and he presented sworn statements from three members of council of the baking company Interests that Myers wrote him on December, 1926, a purported copy of which the commissioners furnished to the committee as evidence to substantiate his action by the commission. This sentence, appearing in the text of of of the copy as printed in the record of the committee hearings was not in the original: "I distinctly recall that when you reached section 13 of the decree, I mentioned the circumstances under which that sentence was included and that I was advised that it was purpose of federal trade commission to dismiss the proceedings effective upon the entrance of the decree."

The trial wil be resumed Monday.

Talesman followed talesman into the box, submitted to a long list of routine and other questions and were excused for one reason or another. As they did Thursday and Wednesday, the two prisoners sat side by side without exchanging a word, Hunt intent on his defense that Hickman led him astray, Hickman centering on his plea of insanity and the fact that police records show a bullet of the calibre of Hunt's pistol killed Toms.
