 You stopped seven rSinutes in Tempe. There was one stretch Of road where you travelled at the rate of 25 miles an hour. You stopped minutes at Mesa. At one place on the road you stopped for oil or gasoline. You left Mesa just one minute after o'clock

NOT GUILTY |S PLEA
 OF WAR VETERAN IN
 CASE OF VERA MONT

Henry O'Brien, former British sol dier. indicted by the federal grand jury on the charge of violation of the inn migration act in bringing Vera Mort to America from England for immoral purposes. was arraigned before Judge David r. Dyer yesterday. o'Brien en- tered a plea of not guilty and his case was set for tiral on March 2 When OBren informed the court that he did not have sufficient funds with which to employ counsel. Judge Dyer appointed James F. Gavin to repre- sent him.
 O'Brien was one of the defendants indicted yesterday, the other being Frank Brown. charged with dealing in morphine. whose case was also set down for trial on March ?.
 The OBrien case has been in the public eye for several weeks. It first came to notice when the former sol- dier was shot by Dr. T. F. Campbell of Wickenburg, because the girl, who was an artists model in London, where she met O'Brien. Campbell, her 60 year-old admirer, was arrested on the charge of assault with intent to com init murder and his case is now pend- ing in the superior court. That the girl sought his protection from O Brien is alleged to be the story told by Campbell. although she claims that this is untrue. The girl. who is only 20, declares that she believes in trial marriages and that she refused to marry O'Brien when he asked her, but agreed to come to the states with him.
 T love him like a brother she said shortly after her arrest, in speaking of O'Brien.
 The Mort girl says she has been loved by many men. but that she never wished to marry. Long ago, she says, her mother advised her not to marry. Her one fear is of being deported. for both the girl and O'Brien are bitterly opposed to returning to England
