Judge Sample
Grants Retrial
Of Reed Case
Local Judge Sets Aside
Former Action Of Court
In Granting Retrial
May Not Be First
Degree Murderer
Says Sentence. Was To Be
Lenient In Return For
Plea Of Guilty
George D. Reed, Detroit fireman
who confessed to the slaying of his
wife, whose body was found May 4 on
the lonely Dixboro Road near here,
and who is now serving a life sen-
tence in solitary confinement at Mar-
quette prison for the crime, will be
given an opportunity to enter an-
other plea before the court as a re-
sult of the decision handed down yes-
terday by Circuit Judge George W.
Sample.
In his decision which sets aside the
former action of the court and grants
the motion for a new trial, Judge
Sample stated that "the entire matter
was in good faith by all the officers
connected with the investigation and
hearing, and that as happens in such
cases sometimes . . the bounds of
prudence may have been overstepped
in such a manner that it might have
unconsciously led the defendant to
believe that he would be treated
otherwise than he was treated."
In the motion for a retrial, Thomas
Chawke, Detroit attorney for Reed,
produced affidavits which stated that
Reed's guilty plea had been influ-
enced by offers of leniency held out
by officers and that evidence at the
time of the original trial showed
Reed to have been innocent of "pre-1
meditated murder."

LONDON, July 1.-(P)-President
Roosevelt has rejected the joint cur-
rency proposal for solving the sta-
bilization problem in the world eco-
nomic conference in its present form.
American headquarters made this
brief announcement tonight, saying
that .elaboration of American policy
regarding stabilization would be
made Monday morning.
The President's action may wreck
the conference.
The reply from President Roose-
velt on the proposal to end the cur-
rency deadlock was received late to-
day, it was said at the American em-
bassy.
Headquarters of the American
delegation had been expecting a fa-
vorable reply all day and the an-
nouncement caught the entire con-
ference by surprise.
The proposal submitted to Presi-
dent Roosevelt had been designed to
allay the fears of the European gold
bloc by giving some assurance
against wild fluctuations in the dol-
lar price. It is believed that gold
bloc delegations now will withdraw
from the parley.
Georges Bonnet,. French foreign
minister, and other spokesmen for
the group, left for their homes over
the week-end after waiting vainly
before their departure for the Ameri-
can President's reply to the proposal
which was transmitted by Raymond
Moley, assistant secretary of state.

can fleet late this afternoon, the
President made it definitely known'
that he has sanctioned no formal
agreement at London on stabiliza-
tion of currency.

Thomas M. O'Brien Dea4
Following Hemorrhag
At Home Yesterday
Headed Force For
Nearly 20 Year
Sudden Death Comes A
Shock To Communit
Officials, Friends
By E. JEROME PETTIT
Ann Arbor's chief of polic
Thomas M. O'Brien, who served th
city in that capacity for nearlytw
decades, died at 6:30 p. m. yesterda
at St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital, whe
he was taken after collapsing a fe
minutes before on the front porch c
his home at 808 Lawrence St.
Dr. I. D. Loree, a member of th
hospital staff, stated that M
O'Brien's attack was caused by
cerebral hemorrhage. After spendin
the day at his office, Mr. O'Brie:
had returned home and collapsed a
he was sitting on the front porch o
his home before dinner. He was con
sidered to be in excellent physics
condition, and his death was a shod
to his family and the many public of
ficials who had known him durin
the 30 years he had served on th
local police force.
Mr. O'Brien, who was 58 years olc
had been an Ann Arbor resident fo
many years, having completed hi
education in Ann Arbor publ
schools after moving here with hi
mother and a brother.
Mr. O'Brien's first position as
public servant in Ann Arbor was witl
the fire department, where he serve
for a two-year period. Following thi
he joined the police force and re
ceived honorable mention upon nu
merous occasions for the excellenc
of his work and his unimpeachabl
character.
His advancement in the police de
partment was rapid and after becom
ing a sergeant in 1910 he was soo
made acting chief. Six years late
with the establishment of the loc
Board of Police Commissioners, h
accepted the title of chief of polic
which position he held until hi
death.
Mr. O'Brien has long had the rep,
utation of being one of the outstand
ing police officials in the state, con
ducting his force with efficiency an
merit. He had a reputation for a
ways being "square and above-board
and possessed the full confidence a
co-operation of the men who worke
under him.
In a city where a large studer
population presented additiont
problems, he always maintained o4
der and peace with a minimur
amount of difficulty, enjoying e
treme popularity with the studen
with whom he came in contact.
Mayor Robert A. Cambell we
grievously shocked last night whe
he learned of the tragedy. "M
O'Brien was one of the best pol
chiefs in the entire nation," r
stated. "His interests were not on
in the police force but in the city
large. He will be greatly missed."
Mr. O'Brien is survived by his wi
Agnes H. O'Brien, and three son
John, Robert, and Russell, all re
dents of Ann Arbor. The body w
taken to Staffan Funeral ion
where funeral plans are being a
ranged.

BREAKS OWN RECORD
(By The Associated Press)
Roaring in from a hazy eastern
sky at full throttle, Col. Roscoe Tur-
ner, veteran transcontinental speed
pilot and holder of the East-West
record, Saturday won the Transcon-
tinental Air Derby from New York.
Turner shot his golden bullet-.
shaped racer across the finish line
at 3:29 p. m., Eastern Standard
Time, traveling the 2,500 miles from
New York in 11 hours, 40 minutes.
Besides taking first place and the
prize of $4,500, Turner broke his own
record for the distance by 58 min-
utes.
Five men and Amelia Earhart
started the race from New York, a
feature of the National Air Races
which opened in Los Angeles today.
This afternoon one contestant was
in a hospital with critical injuries
after a crash and two others were
definitely out of the race.
Amelia Passes St. Louis
Miss Earhart left New York at
2:48 a. m. She stopped for fuel at
St. Louis at 9:45 a. m. and took off
again 20 minutes later.
James Wedell left New York at
3:47 a. m., refueling at St. Louis at
8:54 a. in. and continued.
Russell Thaw left New York at
4:53 a. m., injured a plane wing at
Indianapolis and dropped out of race.
Lee Gehlbach left New York at
4:42 a. m., was forced down in a field
outside Indianapolis, ran through a
fence and had to withdraw from the
race. He was uninjured

Very apparently, Mr. Roosevelt is
closely watching the troubled eco-
nomic parley. Just as apparently he
is not ready to enter any compact
on currency stabilization just now-
the demand of the gold bloc headed
by France.

s

Advisers of the President are con-
vinced he is ready to act in the next
few days. He communicated last
night with the London meeting.
There was no statement, however,
by him on the event. But it is his
opinion that temporary stabilization
to prevent widespread fluctuating
must be accomplished by the central
banks and not by the government
and that permanent stabilization is
not in sight until the gold standard
countries have shown that they can
remain on that standard.
