CORNERSTONE TO Be
LAID FEBRUARY z
Pomona College viii Make Washing
toms Birthday Occasion for For
NAL Event in Building of
Carnegie Library

The laying of the cornerstone of the
new $SO,OOO library, donated by Andrew
Carnegie to Pomona college, takes
place on Washingtons birthday, Feb
ruary %.
The college as a whole will take part
in the cornerstone ceremony. The
faculty, garbed in their robes of de-
grees, will carry through the formal
beginning, while the students, with
their distinctive class insignia, will pa
rade around the grounds, headed by
the senior class in cap and gown. 1t
has not yet been decided who is to
make the address at that time, but it
is believed that the honor will be ac-
corded President Gates of Pomona, as
he was most instrumental in securing
the funds from Carnegie last spring.
The students had planned to make
the day a holiday and various expedi-
tions to the mountains were on foot
but the faculty decided to make the
day memorable by the formal begin
ming of the new Carnegie Pomona

ATTORNEYS ARGUE
IN WILSON TRIAL
MURDER CASE GOES TO JURY
TODAY
Decision Expected Wednesday-Emo-
tonaI Insanity and Unwritten Law
Are the Chief Dependence
of the Defense

Tomorrow w. L. Wilson, charged
with the murder of Wallace Belden,
will learn whether or not a jury will
recognize his claim of emotional in
sanity in committing the murder or
will find him guilty as charged.
Yesterday the attorneys argued, At
torney Blair appearing for the prosecu-
ton, Attorney Knight for the defense.
This morning at 10 o'clock Attorney
Earl Rogers for the defense will fight
for his mans life and following him
will be Attorney McComas for the
state and the jury will be given a
mans life to take charge of.
Thus far Wilson has expressed no
views on the case. He has not stated
whether he expects to be freed or
whether he expects to be held for his
crime. The most disinterested spec
tator in the court room pays greater
attention to the evidence than Wilson
does. Most of the time he keeps his
head between his hands and either
gazes at the floor or ceiling, while his
wife sits to one side of him, patting
his hand, and his daughter, for whom
he committed the shooting, sits at the
other side.
Insanity Is Defense
Insanity and justification by the un-
written law is the ground of defense
upon Wnlcn wilson S lie uepeHuS. HIS
attorneys talk much of the insanity
phase and but little of the unwritten
law, but throughout the case it has
cropped up here and there and in the
argument it's appearance is made in
almost every line.
Yesterday morning when Wilson
came into the court room he was very
weak from a disease from which he
has suffered since his incarceration. in
the county Jail. He seated himself
and the examination of witnesses be-
gan. The trial had not proceeded very
far when Wilson called Attorney
Rogers to him and asked to be taken
| from the room. In the corridor he
collapsed and court was adjourned un-
til he could again appear.
The entire morning was spent in the
examination of insanity experts called
by the prosecution to rebut certain evil
dence offered by the defense
Hypothetical questions We're put one
after another and these physicians de-
clared that according to their ideas of
the case a man under those conditions
would be sane. Just as many reputable
! physicians have testified in Wilson's s
behalf, so that it is a stand off for
the jury to decide for itself
| Yesterday when Wilson returned to
his cell he seemed we'll satisfied with
the standing of the case, but made no
statements.

WILLIE DE PARIS PROPRIETOR
WILL TOUR IN EUROPE

A. ]. Fusenot, French consul to Los
Angeles and proprietor of The Vile de
Paris, 315-325 South Broadway, left
Saturday night for Europe, accom-
panied by Mrs. Fusen0t.
He will remain i'm New York for a
brief visit before crossing the water,
and while abroad will spend most of
the time in Paris.
Mr.. Fusenot has devoted himself
SO completely to business during the
last thirteen years since this store
was opened in Los Angeles that he was
much in need of rest" said Manager
Mckee of the Vile de Paris yesterday.
He will be away at least year.
The store no longer requires such
close application on his part as it once
did, for it is past the experimental
stage and the work is so well sys-
tematized that the business practically
runs itself"

TELL SAD STORY
OF TENDER CARE
LIFETIME DEVOTION COMES
OUT IN COURT
Husband Reared Family and Nursed
Wife Who Is Said to Have Been
Insane for Twenty-Five
Years

After caring for his wife for more
than twenty-five years while during
that time the woman was inflicted with
insanity, George Thompson, an old car
penter, was yesterday compelled to take
his wife before the insanity commission
in Judge Rives' department to have her
declared insane and sent to the state
hospital.
1t was pathetic to watch the husband
as he tenderly cared for his wife and
made her as comfortable as possible.
They had been married in the east
many years ago and had reared a fam
lily of several children, and it seemed
as though the husband would break
down before the case could be settled.
According to the story of witnesses
Mrs. Thompson had become insane soon
after the birth of her last child. She
was 2S years of age at that time and
that was a quarter of a century ago.
But Thompson was not to be cast
down about that. He had the care and
support of four children. All of them
were little tots, the oldest not more
than years of age. big job for one
man to undertake, but Thompson
did it.
For twenty-five years he had to watch
his wife constantly. She was never vio-
lent except at rare intervals, but there
was always the haunting fear that the
babies might be harmed.
How through all the long years of
sorrow and trouble Thompson managed
to rear his little family, work eight or
ten hours a day and care for his wife,
none but he can tell.
Three of his children are married
now. while the last is said to be in a
in Minnesota. a subject to
the same mental disorder from which
her mother has been suffering.

sanity We're committed to Patton asy-
lum by the board of examiners yester-
day.

SANTA r SHOWS
DEFENSE OUTLINE
SAYS INDICTMENTS ARE NOT
CONSTITUTIONAL
Attorney LaWIer Cites Gases to Show
That Chicago and West Virginia
Judges Have Ruled to
the Contrary

The defense of the Santa Fe railroad
in the rebate indictments returned
against it by the federal grand jury
January will be on constitutional
grounds, as indicated in the hearing on
the quashing of the indictments yester-
day. The motion to quash was argued
before Judge Olin Wellborn by Attor-
ney John H. Norton for the railroad
Mr.. Norton cited the fourth amendment
to the constitution, which gives protec-
ton against unwarranted searches and
seizures, and declared that the records
of the Santa Fe road had been seized in
direct violation of the constitution. The
other constitutional argument was that
the road had been compelled to testify
itself and that the indictments were re-
turned almost entirely on the basis of
testimony given by employees of the
road.
United States Attorney Oscar Lawler
argued in reply that the defense offered
had no real bearing on the main issues,
and met the other argument of the de-
Tense, that the interstate commerce
law was not in operation when the
alleged illegal acts were committed by
citations from cases of the Standard
Oil company.
Judge Lands decided in Chicago
and Judge Norris in West Virginia that
the enactment of the interstate com.
merce law did not repeal the Elkins
law" said Attorney Lawler. "It was
not the intention of the interstate COM
merce law to wipe out violations pre-
