One story. probably the irst one

after the death OF Hsmon, was de-

Issued by Russell Il. Brown, former
prosecuting attorney here, by Il. w.
Sails, Dallas chauffeur.
Sails was called as a State witness
yesterday. He recounted the same de.
tails that were published last De-
cember. There was not an element
added or subtracted.
He told of Clara Smith lannon's
meeting with him In Dallas early In
the morning, OF his driving her to an
aviation field. where she sought to
obtain an airplane to continue her
journey. OF her failure to get a plane
and finally OF the incidents which he
insists developed during his trip with
her from Dallas to Cisco.
Sails told, as has been printed.
that during the automobile trip he
and Clara stopped Tor luch at a dinEy
lunch room in Waxshachie, Tex. As
they were eating. he insisted, a viii
lage constable entered the place, dis
playing a blatant star.
He said that the defendant imme-
mobile and, after he had followed her,
directed him to get out OF town as
quickly as possible.
SAW HER WITH PISTOLS.
He swore that when he approached
the automobile he saw her sitting
with a pair of automatic pistols in
her lap. And later in the course of
their journey. he said, Clara confess
ed to him that she had "shot a man
and hoped that he would die"
Sails said Clara asked him whether
rusty or a new gun would better
kill a man, and mentioned that she
was sorry she had not the benefit
OF that informstio in advance OF the
shooting, of which she had spoken.
James II. Mathers. associate with
Mr. Coakley in the defense. announced
that the testimony of Sails would be
impeached. Sails denied upder trip

sisted that he did not know of any
highway robbery pending against
him.
James c. OBrien, personal attorney
for Mrs. Hamon, the widow. said to-
day that the reason his client was
not in the court room was that she
had not yet recovered from the
nervous exhaustion OF Fridays scs-
sion. when blood-stained garments
worn by her husband were exhibited

There were many parts OF the min
ister's testimony that remain of un-
certain meaning. because Charles A.

having sustained objections to expla-
nations the Rev. DR.. Irwin sought TO
give.

There was another witness, w. IL.

HARVEY TO GET
ENGL|SHPOST
Editor Found persona Grata"
With British Now Sure to
Succeed J. W. Davis.

President Harding has sounded
out the British government and
established the fact that Col. George
Harvey, of New York, editor Of
Harvey's Weekly. will be persona
grata" at the Court of St. James,
and his appointment to that am
bassadorship is merely a question
of time, it was learned at the White
House.
The Presidents series of confer
ences developed the fact that men,
bers of the Senate were being can
vassed on the Harvey appointment.
That was taken as confirmation of
the story that the name of the
magazine editor, who figured so
prominently in Woodrow Wilson's
first nomination, had been submitted
to the British government.
APPOINTMENT DELAYED.
On the date the appointment is to
be made there appears to be no GER
tainty. II possible, the name will go
to the Senate before it's adjournment
tomorrow or Tuesday. as the present
ambassador at the Court OF st. James.

1t is the contention Of Mrs Still
