Los Angeles. May 27.-George VAL
dez, Mexican. was arrested this af-
ternoon on Los Angeles street by Pa
trolmen Roberts and Walker. He
was booked at the central police sta
ton on suspicion. The officers say
his general description answers that
of the man who is believed to have
killed Annie Poltera. The coat he
was wearing was blood-stained. He
admitted to the officers that he has
been out in the hills for several days.
He also admitted that he had recent
ly changed his clothing. but declared
that he had thrown away his old ones
because they were sOiled. He will be
held until the officers can find where
he has been for the last week. Three
facts. which have developed in the
investigation of the mysterious mur-
der indicate that the child was mis-
treated and killed by a Mexican.

at her about 4:3O o'clock Monday af-

ADAM REBUKES
HIS ATTORNEY
Wanted to Call Down Wit.
nesses Testifying Against
Him in Court

Kansas City, May 27.-The wratt
of Adam God was manifested thit
morning when the taking of testi
mony was resumed in the criminal
court. AS Mr.. Conkling. the prosecut.
ing attorney, was asking the prelimi.
nary questions of witness, Adam
God rose from his seat and said:
Judge, your honor, want to have
something to say in this trial. am
being tried for my neck here and
don't want blood on my hands. These
witnesses are telling different stories
than they told at the preliminary
trial. They ought to be called down
for it. l want to do 1t If nobody else
is going to do 1t. They are swearing
my neck away"
"Tell your objections and instruc-
tions to your attorneys and let them
present them to the court" the Judge
said. What you have to say you
should present through your attor.
neys until you become a witness your
self. At the proper time you will be
given an opportunity to be heard"
"Woe Unto the Lawyers"
"My lawyers won't follow instruc-
tions," Sharp said. II told them to
call these witnesses down and they
won't do it. Let me get in there and
do some of the talking and I'll call
them down when the don't testify
like they did at the preliminary trial"
While a recess of the court was in
progress, Adam God said to several
listeners:
II am wrathy this morning. Who
wouldn't be wrathy? This thing amt
going right. I sat here all last week
while my lawyers wouldn't call those
witnesses down. l got into it myself
this morhing. The Lord said, you
know, Woe unto the lawyers No
wonder the Lord led me into that
street fight with the police and let me
get into trouble. The Lord is putting
me to a severe test. He led me into
this courtroom and sat me down be-
side these lawyers. He put me in
here among all this wickedness."
Adam God, it appears, uses the
Deity for all purposes. When he de-
sires to say anything he puts his
conclusions into the mouth of the
Lord, Unfortunately. Assistant
prosecuting attorneys have been
checking some of the saying he ac-
credited to the Almighty in certain
chapters of the Bible. Edward j.
Curtin, an assistant. reported this
morning that diligent search Of the
chapters quoted by Adam failed to di-
vulge his sayings. A search will be
made to learn the authenticity of
Adams quotations about lawyers.
A Rebuke for his Lawyer.
Sharp took a lively interest in the
testimony. George w. Robinson, a
negro barber, was on the witness
stand. Because the witness had a
cold he could not speak above a
whisper. The attorneys for both
sides stood close to him. Adam God
left his chair and stood close, too.
The barber was telling how Sharp
came to his shop and had his hair cut
and his beard clipped. The attorney
for the defense objected.
What do you want to object for?'
Adam said petulantly. Let him tell
1t. He's telling the truth"
The questions asked by A. E. Mar
tin, attorney for Sharp, indicate a
plea of self-defense. If insanity is
to be the defense Adam God has de-
meaned himself in such day as to
injure his chances on that plea. He
