Mrs. Elizabeth Besanty say she was in-
side her house, near the scene of the
Staying, when she heard two shots fired.
Testifying for the prosecution, Mrs.
Besanty said she was outside the house
when the second shot was fired and
that Immediately afterward she heard q
mans voice say "1've got him." These
witnesses and two others testified Mrs.
ObenchaI1 was nervous and weeping
after the shooting. Mrs. Besanty and
her husband, Louis Besanty, swore that
the defendant was calm.
Burch's refusal to testify came after
he had been asked, at the opening of
the morning session, whether Mrs. OBJ
enchain met him at the railroad station
when he reached Los Angeles last July,
and how he came to select the hotel at
which he stopped. He appealed to Judge
Reeve to permit him to consult with
counsel before answering. The judge
granted the request and the rest of the
morning was taken up with endeavors
to locate his attorneys. 1t was . o'clock
when Richard kittrelle, one of them,
arrived and went into a corridor of the
comty Jail. where Burch was waiting.
Names His Condition
4 few minutes later Burch took the
stand and kittrelle announced he had
advised his client not to testify until
the prosecution had followed certain
procedure Burch then declared he
would not testify unless the indictment
against him was dismissed, whereupon
Deputy District Attorney Asa Keyes
him from the stand.
Attorneys for Mrs. Obenchain had
objected to Burch testifying because
defense of insanity had been offered
when he was tried The jury in this
case disagreed and the Obenchain at
contended that Burch's mental
condition was mot adjudicated." Judge
Reeve overruled the objection

MENNONITE EXODUS
FROM CANADA INTO
MEXICO UNDER WAY
Send Advance Guard of ZOO.
900, Whom 1t Will Take
Three Years to Move.

El Paso, Texas. March 6.-Headed
for the promised land, near Bustillos,
Chihuahua, the first contingent Of
Mennonite pilgrims from Manitoba,
canada, left here late Monday over
the Mexican Central railroad. There
were 10 men, women and children on
the train. A second train is due here
early Tuesday. 1t carries 6S adults
and IS children
The largest number of children
among the colonists was explained by
one of the pilgrims leaders who said
they, were first moving families with
children on account of conflict with
the Canadian authorities over the
school laws.
While here the colonists spent sew
eral thousand dollars for supplies, in
cluding feed, seed, machinery, tents for
temporary shelter and foodstuffs, all
of which the Mexican authorities per-
mitted to cross the line duty free.
The first year on the Chihuahua
land will be spent in making experi-
ments to determine the class of crops
best adapted to the climate, according
to their leaders.
The movement from Canada is ex-
pected to cover a period of more than
a year and is expected ultimately to
include nearly all Of the 100000 Men
nonitM.

One Department Should Control All Public Land
Says Fall, Opposing Present Half and Half Rule
George Cohan Sued
for $50,Oo0 by His
Friend R. E.. Hiliard

New York, March 6.-Robert C.
HiIiiard, actor playwright, filed a
$4,000 grievance against his old
friend, George M. Cohan, before
Supreme Court Justice Ford Mon
day.
Taking the stand as first witness
for himself, HilIiard testified that
in,l9I8 he and Conan had plays In
which neither was able to make
good.
Conan, declaring he could re-
write billiards "A Prince There
Was and make hit in it, offered
to rewrite his own failure, "Honest
John O'Brien," so that It would be
a knockout for Hilliard, the wit
ness testified.
So billiard gave cohan "A
Prince There Was" with which
tho latter did everything he had
predicted, HIIiiard said. But, he de-
cIared, Cohan never rewrote
"Honest John O'Brien," with the
result that Hilliard was left in
midseason with nothing in which
to star.
Cohan's lawyers told the court
they would prove that Cohan
bought "A Prince There Was" for
$4,000 and that the contract said
nothing about his rewriting "Hon.
est John O'Brien." He would have
rewritten It, counsel conceded, If
he had the time and Inspiration,
but had he done SO, 1t would have
been an act Of friendship for his
old friend "Bob", and not because
of any business agreement to do

The suggested provision of the bill

of the adjusted service certificate was
not reached by the majority Monday.
Some opposition to such provision
