COURT GRINDING
AWAY STEADILY
Case of Minor Importance Staged
Preliminary to Murder Trials
of Stanley and Harris
Which Involve Life

Late Tuesday afternoon counsel
In the case Of the State of Nevada
vs. C. R. Squires, succeeded in Sc
curing a jury Of twelve men, good
and true, to their mutual liking,
consisting of the following:
James D. Murphy, Rebel Greek
homesteader and dry farmer; N. A.
Gillian, Paradise Valley ranchman
and for forty years a cattle raiser,
now engaged in running a soft
drink establishment at Paradise
Joseph Peraldo, Winnemucca stone
mason and plasterer; E. A. Gran.
quist, bookkeeper at the Winnie
mucca Mercantile company; w. E.
Brannon, Rebel Creek trapper and
fur buyer; B. J. Bynon, Golconda
blacksmith; S. B. Kasper and Will
liam Major, mining men of the
Golconda district; E. H. Gilman,
superintendent of the Winnemucca
Water and Light company; Joseph
Schultz, an employe of the Verdi
Lumber company; Frank Lamb, a
Rebel Creek ranchman; and A. H.
Hams (colored), Winnemucca
barber.
Testimony IN this, as is true Of
practically all court cases was con-
ficting and even the witnesses, in
some specific instances, made some
variations that it was hard for the
jury to make jibe, but it went to
prove that the memory of man is
q tickle thing, at best, and 1t is
well not to pin too much faith in
anything that one repeats to you,
If it depends solely upon memory.
There was Edward Tregaskis, one
Of the star witnesses and the man
who delivered to Squires the meat
that. was the primal cause of the
trouble that involved Squires with
the law. Tregaskis testified on the
stand that he delivered to Squires
three quarters of beef and took one
quarter home. On cross examina-
tion, conducted by Attorney Powell,
counsel for Squires, Mr.. Tregaskis,
after reading transcript of the
testimony he rendered, under oath,
at the preliminary trial, held four
days after his delivery of the meat
to Squires, in which he said that he
had delivered four quarters of meat
to Squires' shop, said that his men,
ory was unquestionably fresher four
days after the delivery than it was
at Wednesdays hearing. Still,
while freely admitting that his men,
ory should have been at its best at
the preliminary hearing, Tregaskis
seemed to favor the idea that he
had made delivery of but three
quarters to Squires' shop. Now, if
that wouldn't tend to confuse a
jury, it is hard to tell just what
would.
Mrs. Asbury, former bookkeeper
at the Squires market, and book
keeper and cashier at the time Tre-
gaskis made delivery of the meat
that brought about the trial and
tribulations, was called as a witness
by the defense and following direct
examination by Attorney Powell,
was taken in hand for cross-exami-
nation by Attorney Brandon, who
assisted in the prosecution. Mrs.
Asbury may know whole lot
about the case, but if she does she
was not inclined to volubility-that
much can most assuredly be said
for her. She took her own good

The town has a number of stran-

suit of the trial of Newton Stanley,
Jr., for the killing of Bonofacio

of the type surcharged with NOR

proving magnet that easily draws
the crowds, and will probably have
capacity houses ere its conclusion.

UNMARRIED SOLDIER
REPRESENTATIVE OF ALL.

Newport News, Va, Feb. .24.-An
unnamed soldier from among the
dead in the disaster to the airshlp
Roma. was selected as representative
of all those who gave their lives in
the fatal flight for a public funeral
which was held here today. Resting
in a plain casket under the folds of
the flag on a grassy prominence in
the center of the huge hollow square,
he received for himself and the 33
others who died in the disaster last
farewell from his comrades and from
others among whom he had lived.
1t had been planned for Newport
News and other cities near Langley
field to do honor at public funeral
for all the men who died when the
great airship Roma was destroyed
last Tuesday, but because many of
the bodies, destined for homes in
widely separated parts of the coun-
try, had been sent from the city ear
lier it was arranged for one body to
represent all at the services. So a
lone soldier without name was
chosen from among those remaining
that all might be honored.

CAPT. MARTIN TELLS
OF TURBULENT RUSSIA

Lenoir, Feb. 26.-Capt. Hugh S.
Martin of the American Educational
association spoke here last night to
the American legion of his expe-
riences in Russia as American inves-
tigator, and said that the menace of
bolshevism is the greatest problem
facing the civilization Of the world
today. He told how a small group
of radical agitators, by poisoning the
minds of the industrial organizations
gained control of the nation of 180,-
100000 people.
Captain Martin is native of Mis-
sissippi. He first entered political
life in Washington as private secre-
tary to U. S. Senator John Sharp
Williams. In 1916 he was sent to
Russias as special lattache to the
American embassy at Petrograd. In
this position, he witnessed the tragic
events which led to the overthrow
of the czar, the rise and fall of the
republic, under Kerensky, and the
ascendency of bolshevism, which
spread rapidly, and finally installed
the present soviet government.
After the rise of the soviet gov
ernment under Lenine and Trotzky
in 1917, he travelled through Russia
for 10 months studying bolshevism
and saw it as it actually is. He was
a frequent witness of the outrages
perpetrated and on several occasions
he narrowly, escaped death.
Soon after his return to the United
States, Captain Martin began an in
vestigation of the radical movements
in this country, and to ascertain to
what extent they are linked with the
Russian bolshevism. At the end OF
nearly years travel throughout the
country, he was astonished at the
extent of bolshevism.

SAY SHEMWELL'S ADDING
MACHINE STOCK WAS ''FOREIGN'
(Bv Max Abernethy.)

(By MAX ADornoLny.)
Raleigh, Feb. 27.-Commissioner
Stacey w. Wade of the State Depart
ment of Insurance has revised the
story carried in this correspondence
three days ago that he would urge
Governor Morrison to impeach the
Davidson county authorities for fail
ure to apprehend Baxter Shemwell,
but he does not deny he has been ap-
pealed to by alleged purchasers of
stock in Shemwell's adding machine
corporation; and the story as revised,
stands.
North Carolinians who claimed
they were mulcted by Shemwell sew
era1 years ago when they bought
heavily in adding machine stock
wrote the insurance commissioner
and begged for help. The letters came
to Raleigh last week and Commis-
sioner Wade's reply is matter o1

A MOTOR HOTEL TO
SOLVE PARKING PROBLEM

Chicago, Feb. 2S-A twenty-five
story garage in the heart of the loop
will assist in solving Chicago's park
ing problem, according to plans COM
pleted by architects, on which, it is
announced, work will start within
sixty days. Similar motor hotels are
planned for New York and Cleveland.
The building, with 2 foot 'front.'
age on Lake street and depth of 140
feet, will house 1,1OO automobiles on
its 25 floors, the architects say. 1t
will be 200 feet high, the limit al
lowed by city ordinance. The cost is
estimated at $1,200,000.
The feature of the motor hotel will
be the automatic handling of the
cars. From the time the owner de-
1irers his machine at the door in the
morning until it is returned to him
at night moi hand will touch it, un-
less it needs repairs or supplies.
Seven automatic elevators, each
and all operated by one girl sitting
at desk in the lobby, will distri-
butte the cars to the proper floors.
-Tilting floors, operated by compressed
air, will automatically unload the
elevators and shun the machines into
the allotted booths, which will be
mounted on wheels, to slide out OF
the way. In the evening the process
will be reversed.
With automatic handling none OF
the owners gasoline will be consum
ed and there will be no gasoline
fumes in the building, and no danger
of fire, the designers of the structure
say.
Special rates are planned for the
atre goers and shoppers.

THREE WEEKS HONEYMOON
FOR THE PRINCESS BRIDE

London, Feb. 28.-It is under
stood that Viscoupt Lascelles and
Princess Mary will pass the first part
of their honeymoon at Weston Park,
the Shropshire home of the Earl and
Countess of Bradford, who are dis
family related to Lord Lascelles.
Weston Park is a charming resi-
dence, set amid beautiful surround
ings and is in portion of the coun-
try as yet quite unknown to the Prin-
cess who is expected to pass about
three weeks there. 1t is one of the
most comfortable residences along
the whole of the Welsh border Prin.
cess Mary's uncle, the Marquis OF
Cambridge has his home at Shotton
a few miles away.
There is some talk of a state bal
being held at Buckingham Palace il
the early summer in honor of theil
marriage. These functions went ou
of fashion, but they formed grea
feature of the court season in tn,
days of Queen Victoria, when Alex
andra, then Princess now the Dow
ager Queen, usually acted as tn
Queens representative.
In those days, these entertain
ments were most deadly dull an,
King Edward used to be quite franl
in expressing his qualification whel
they came to an end. The ball that
now suggested would, however, b
on quite different lines. and the for

balls used to be opened would b
