So declared Michael Fugmann yesterday afternoon at Luzerne County Prison when he and his wife met for the first time since Fugmann heard a jury doom him to death for the "Easter gift" bomb murder of Thomas Maloney, The Hanover Township man, appearing in much better health than his wife, who has been under a physi¬ cian's care since the fifteen-day trial, expressed confidence in the outcome of his lawyer's appeal for a new trial. Ten reasons citing the need of a new trial were filed just before the court house closed for the week,
Fugmann was in good spirits, jailers reported, when his wife paid an hour's visit to him yesterday afternoon. It was a sort of family reunion, despite the grim at¬ mosphere of Fugmann's solitary confinement cell in Death Row. Besides Mrs, Fugmann and her daughter, Anna, there was the con¬ demned man's son, Conrad, and the latter's wife. The son lives in Brooklyn and with his wife came here for the week-end visit to the jail after he learned his mother had collapsed with the jury's first- degree murder verdict and the recommendation of death. Wife's First Visit
Since the trial's dramatic end¬ ing Wednesday night at 5:30 oclock, Fugmann had been visited by his daughter, but his wife was not able to make the trip until yesterday. Buoyed by her son's presence, Mrs, Fugmann assured the condemned man that his fight will be continued until the lasl resource is exhausted.

Hurrying home where her hus¬ band and three young children awaited supper, Mrs, Mary Bobnak, 28, of Exeter, was instantly killed early last night by a D. L. & W, train. She had been visiting her mother and was within sight of her own home at 152 Mason street, when run down. Her survivors In¬ clude an infant daughter born four months ago. Mrs. Bobnak's death was the only fatality of the week¬ end, which saw eleven other per¬ sons taken to hospitals here as a result of accidents.
Witnesses to the railroad acci¬ dent told police that Mrs. Bobnak had spent the afternoon at the home of her mother, Mrs. Andrew Ondck at 163 Grant street. Shortly after 6 oclock she started for home, but instead of travelling over the Grant street crossing, she Is said to have taken a short cut over the tracks. She failed to see a Lackawanna train running from Scranton to Kingston. Her body was hurled twenty feet into the air. The victim was removed to Bcdnar.ski's morgue at Wyoming and later taken home.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Bob¬ nak Is survived by three young children: Andrew jr., George and Anna, four months old: also by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Ondek, and the following brothers and sisters: Helen and Anna of New York City, Irene, Margaret, John, Nicholas, George and Andrew jr. She was a member of St. John's Slovak church of Pittston. Arm Fractured Mrs. Pearl Duda, 50, of 42 Pop¬ lar street. Plains, suffered a frac¬ ture of the right arm when struck by an automobile. She was walk¬ ing on North River street near the United Furnituro Co. factory when knocked down by a machine oper¬ ated by Joseph Miller of 74 North Thomas street, Kingston. Mrs. Duda was taken home after treat¬ ment at General hospital.

Omaha, Neb,, Oct. 10, (UP)— President Roosevelt tonight bid openly for the farm vote of the Middle West and the Liberal vote of the nation in a stinging indict¬ ment of the Republican agricul¬ tural program, prefaced with praise for Senator George W. Norris, elder statesman of Ameri¬ can   Progrcssivism.
Standing in the glare of flood¬ lights at Ak-Sar-Ben Stadium In this "key" city of his 5,000-mile campaign   tour,   the   Chief  Execu
Norris** special state Prosecutors con- tinued to forge a chain of evidence intended to link both with the Val¬ entine automobile bombing. , Unexpectedly, Special Prosecutors Thomas M. Lewis and Michael F, McDonald produced Floyd Seeley of Stark street, city, a Pennsylvania railroad trainman employed on a part-lime job at the Carey avenue home of Dr. A. M, Northrup, form¬ erly Labor Secretary in the Cabinet of Governor Gifford Pinchot.
Seeley named Harris as the man he saw on two different occasions during the week preceding the automobile dynamiting, walking along the sidewalk bordering Elmer L. Meyers High School stadium. It was here, the Commonwealth al¬ leges, that Harris laid the ground¬ work of the bombing outrage by spying on movements of Miss Mary Valentine, daughter of Judge W. Alfred Valentine, who left the automobile a few moments before it was blown up in central city on March 28, 1935.
The railroad trainman went on the witness stand after the morning session and part of the afternoon hearing was marked by additional incriminating evidence given by Andrew    Beshesky,    25,    Hazleton,

Entrance of Seeley Into the cas< resulted from a conversation in th« Daggers' barber shop on East Mar¬ ket street on Thursday afternoon after Seeley had gone there fol¬ lowing a futile effort to gain ad¬ mission to the trial courtroom. HU conversation was reported to At- sistant District Attorney Joha Dando who dropped into the bar¬ ber shop and Seeley was summon¬ ed to appear as a witness. Friday night he was taken to Luzerne County Prison and picked Harrli out of a lineup of eight men af one of several individuals he saw near Meyers High School in March of last year, during the week pre¬ ceding the bombing.
Tho entire morning session yes¬ terday was given over to the direct and cross-examination of Be¬ shesky, who was taken to tho courthouse from his prison cell. He was still on the stand when Judge Shull ordered noon recess.
RepeatH Jail Conversation The afternoon session began with the recall to the witness stand of Beshesky who had weath- e:ed three solid hours of direct and cro.ss-examination from 9:30 oclock in the morning to 12:30 oclock in the afternoon.
Beshesky had bared, under ex¬ amination in chief, the revelations reputedly made to him by Harris in confidence while they were cell¬ mates in the county prison. He not only involved Harris by these alleged admissions as the actual "planter" of the bomb that de¬ stroyed the Valentine automobile, but lied Jennings in with the plot by declaring that Harris told him Jennings was the man who paid him lo do the job.
"He (Harris) told me he was paid to place a bomb in Valen¬ tine's car," Beshesky declared, A while later, in answer to questioiM by Judge Shull as to whether Har¬ ris told him who was to pay-off for placing the bomb, Beshesky said: "He (Harris! .said Jennings," Beshesky's final utterances ut the morning ses.sion included .1 statement that he had seen a transcript of a statement he made to Assistant District Attorney John H, Dando, in the District Attorney !4 office.
"Have you ever seen any state¬ ment, or the one you made out?" Judge Shull had  nsked.
"Yes, I seen il right after it waa written in the District Attorney's office," Beshesky answered, Teotiniony In Doubt Shortly after that answer had been entered on the record, At¬ torney Hays renewed his motion to have the statement in ques¬ tion and other documents in pos¬ session of the prosecutors brought into   court,   and   Judge   Shull   in-
critical   days   of   193:
After outlining his own agricul¬ tural program he asked:
"Do you want to turn it over to those who now make incon¬ sistent campaign - devised, half • baked promises which you and they know they cannot keep?" • Mr. Roosevelt's speech was his first national address since he hit the trail two days ago to take the offensive on a front 'extending from Washington, D. C, to Wyoming and onto the home grounds of his Kansas Republican opponent.
"After having neglected a 12- year opportunity for help to the American fat mer as his condition got worse and worse, what does Republican leadership now offer?" Mr. Roosevelt asked in opening his attack.
Scorn!) G.O.P. Reaction
"First of all," he said, "it would scrap the present program, which it has condemned as a 'subterfuge' and a 'stop-gap.' It would junk the farmers' organization to carry it out. It would end the farmers' program of co-operation, and send them back to the 'free competi¬ tion'—or 'rugged individualism' if you will that wrecked them in 1932."
"Next," he added, "it would sub¬ stitute a system of tariff equivalent
Calls  Jennings   Payoff   >Ian
Beshesky "put the finger" on Harris as the bomber by rnl.iting confidential conversations he had with the accused man while they were cellmates at the jail, and quoted his as saying that Jennings was the "payofif" man of the dyna¬ miting plot.
The full day of surprise was climaxed at week end adjournment when Judge Samuel E. Shull of Monroe County, specially presid¬ ing, told the jury he had been in¬ formed that improper remarks were being made within the jurors' hearing as they passed through the courthouse corridors. He urged the jurors to report any such happen¬ ings to him and to make an effort to identify any persons who were acting in what he termed a "high¬ ly improper" manner.
The two Commonwealth witness¬ es were subjected to exhaustive cross-examination by Attorney Arthur Sullivan and Ernest Hcr- schkowitz, the latter representing Harris. The interrogation by Hays engrossed the crowded courtroom as he sought to break down the testimony brought out in direct examination.
