Aged Lothario Who Killed
Young Opera Star, Dies
In Rome of Pneumonia
ROME LW—Ernest Arthur Box
mann, New York impressario ac
cused of shooting American opera
singer Frances McCann to death,
then wounding himself, died Sat
urday at a Rome hospital.
Hospital spokesmen said the 53
year-old German - born Boxmann
died of bronchial pneumonia. He
had been recovering from the head
wound police said he inflicted with
the same pistol that killed Miss
McCann in a Rome hotel.
Boxmann and Miss McCann had
come to Rome March 12 from West
Berlin where the lovely 41-year
old mother of four had been fol
lowing a brilliant opera career.
In a series of love letters found
by police in the slain singer’s
room, Boxmann had poured out
declarations of love for her.
Miss McCann was married to J.
Walter Rodgers, a wholesale rug
salesman in Altadena, Calif. She
was known to be planning to quit
her career in a few years to devote
all her time to her family.
On the morning of March 15,
her bullet-riddled body, clad in a
red nightgown, was found in a
pool of blood in her fourth floor
room. She had been shot four
times.
Boxmann, who had a room on
the same floor, was rushed to a
hospital. Police said he killed her,
then turned the gun against him
self.

Demo Rolvaag takes Oath
As Minnesota’s Governor
ST. PAUL, Minn. Gfl — Demo
crat Karl Rolvaag became Minne
sota’s 31st governor shortly after
noon today in a dramatic final
chapter to a historic election battle
that has lasted almost five months.
After a final legal hurdle was
removed, the new 49-year-old gov
ernor received his certificate of
election from a fellow Democrat,
Secretary of State Joseph Donovan.
With that long-disputed paper in
hand, Rolvaag went to the cham
bers of the Minnesota Supreme
Court and repeated the oath of
office with Chief Justice Oscar R.
Knutson.
The final legal step this morn
ing was agreement by attorneys
on wording of a waiver of appeal
by ousted Republican Gov. Elmer
Andersen.
The waiver, filed with the
Ramsey County District Court, ce
mented Rolvaag’s 91-vote victory
in a statewide recount of votes
cast last Nov. 6.
Andersen conceded defeat last
Saturday.

BILL BATTLE . . .

party vote in the House, with Re
publicans voting for the measure
and Democrats against.
Speaking against Bronson’s mo
tion to knock the two House bills
off the calendar Sen. Brad Phil
1 lips told the Senate:
“We should act on every bill
we have before us, regardless of
what the House does.
“That is the only reasonable
course of action we can take.”
Sen. R. J. McNealy, Senate ma
jority leader, said he supported
Bronson’s stand and proposed a
joint caucus of Senate and House
Democrats.
“We can try to get together on
a priority list of legislation, then
meet with the Republican leader
ship in the House and see if we
can’t get this show on the road,”
McNealy said.
“This is the most serious legis
lative bottleneck I’ve ever seen.”
Longworth, the unofficial score
keeper of the legislature, said the
Senate has sent 69 bills over to
the House, of which seven have
been passed by the lower chamber.
The Senate, he said, approved
15 House bills.
Reps. C. M. Binkley, chairman
of the House Rules Committee, and
. Wm. Boardman, House majority
leader, said the House’s schedule
to date has been based on freeing
its Finance Committee as much as
possible.
“We want to complete action on
all of our important House bills so
they can be sent to the Senate
for action,” Binkley and Boardman
; said.
“Once we get our important bills
over, we’ll be able to concentrate
on the important Senate bills which
have been sent to the House.
“The House has absolutely no
quarrel with'the Senatie.”

Judge Pleads Not Guilty
To Cross-Country Berating
In Case of ‘De-barked’ Dog
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. <*>—“You
can send a fellow to the gas cham
ber and nobody hollers,” Municipal
Judge Leonard A. Thomas mused
today, “But just touch a dog
and ...”
He held up a fistful of letters
from across the country berating
him because a dog was “de
barked.”
The judge pleaded innocent. The
de-barking operation was done be
fore the case ever got into court.
The dog whose barkless future
stirred the wrath of dog lovers
from as far away as South Port
land, Maine, is a beagle named
Falstaff who loves to chase rabbits
and deer in the Marin County hills.
His owner had a vocal cord oper
ation performed on Falstaff last
November to silence complaints
about Falstaff’s “howling, horren
dous tone.”
Judge Thomas had nothing to do
with the “de-barking” operation
and the first he heard of it was
when the owner told about it in
court March 15.
“I thought I rendered a kind of
Solomon - like decision,” Judge
Thomas recalled. “We’ll find the
fellow guilty and let him take care
of the situation himself.”
The Judge ordered Allen Mur
ray, 30, Kentfield insurance man,
to keep Falstaff from roaming and
disturbing others.
“I’ve never done anything to
harm a dog,” the judge said. “I
love dogs. I have had dogs all my
life.”
$39,000 More Appropriated
JUNEAU —The Senate Sat
urday passed a bill appropriating
another $39,000 for expenses of the
current legislative session.
The $39,000 would carry the leg
islature through the 70th day,
April 8.
