Los Angeles. January 1O.-Argu- ment in the trial of Arthur c. Burch. charged with the murder of J. Bel ton Kennedy. was interrupted today when Judge Sidney N Reeve. presid- ing, received word that his brother was critically ill and adjourned court until tomorrow morning.
 Asa Reyes. assistant district at torney, was in the middle of his opening argument when the adjourn ment was announced. He declared the evidence showed BurchA killed Kennedy on the night of August 3 last at the instigation of Mrs. Mada- lynne Obenchain. codefendant in tho case and that Mrs. Obenchain lured Kennedy to Beverly Glen, a foothli retreat. where the tragedy occurred.
 Mir. Reyes read te1egrams intro- duced in evidence as having been sent by Burch to Mrs. Obenchain, containing such expressions as Lots of love- and My love is with you always" declaring they indicated there was love between these peo- pie, at least on the part of Burch." He then traced the movements of Burch from the time, according to the evidence, Mrs. Obenchain wrote to Kennedy all was at an end be- tween them and summoned Burch to Los Angeles.
 Burch and Mrs. Obenchain. the as sistant district attorney said. spied bn Kennedy for two weeks after Burch came here from Evanston, H.. and Burch rented an automobile un- der an assumed name the night of the staying and was seen driving thas car through Beverly Glen both before and after Kennedy was shot.
 Where was Burch that night?" the prosecutor also asked.
 He had chance to tell when We questioned him at the district at torney's office. You will remember that he replied that he would not tell us until he had consulted counsel. and then he would explain everything. But his doings have remained to this day a closed book"

CONVENTION PLAN OF NOMINATION IS
 SURE IF DEFEAT
Fighl to Be Made, However, Desalie Fact hat Move men to Cal invention
 is iWeiesS
By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery BureaS The Age Herald, 22I-2 First Nal .eraI Bank Building

Montgomery, January l0.-(Special) Efforts Of attorney members of the state democratic executive commit tee to call convention for the nom ination of democratic candidates for chief justice of the supreme court and for the three positions on the court of appeals will be defeated, ac- cording to indications in Montgom- cry tonight.
 It became known that friends of those who will be candidates are op- posed to the proposal. insisting that the authority to name the candidates for judges should not be taken from the voters. Those seeking the change are following the expression of the Alabama Bar association, which adopted a resolution by vote of 40 to 2S last year in favor of the se- lection of democratic nominees in a convention.
 posal have raised the point that the 40 attorneys who voted for the con- vention do not represent the 2,000 lawyers of Alabama and that even the 2,0o0 lawyers do not represent the 200.000 democratic voters.
 Despite the fact that the movement to call the convention is hopeless, the fight will be made. according to every indication. It will be one of the first things to come before the com mittee when it meets at noon Friday in Montg for the making of plans for the democratic state pri mary to be held August 8.

Harold Lloyd, m his latest comedy s''Never Weaken" is proving a daily mrth quake at the Trianon. where it is showing. It is at once about the most amusing and at the same time completely thrilling production in which the serious faced Lloyd has appeared.

 MONDEREIlL pRODuCgrION

Whether ones taste runs to the fanciful and artistic movie produc- tion or not it will be admitted by all that few pictures so closely ad herring to these qualities as Rip Van Winkle," starring Thomas Jefferson. at the Rialto reach the screen. In reaching back to the early pioneer days of America with the simplicity and beauty of that life and the quaintness of custom and settings, Rip Van Wrinkle" proves a wonder picture. It is more than a wonder to the many children who are overflow ing the Rialto to see it.
 As novel, Rip Van Wrinkle" has brought joy to millions-kiddies and
 grown-ups" alive-from the time Washington Irving penned the im- mortal lines right up to our own day. In play form it has won for itself d place unique in the annals of the American stage. And now, upon the silver sheet. Thomas Jefferson gives new life to this ageless classic. More expressing than either book or play.

Then she went up to her room as though in a daze, un- tangled her iustrous hair. and (we of course, are not permitted to see what follows) in few moments she is enveloped in flimsy suit of pajamas.
 Now Mir. Wallace, her father, pro prietor of a big department store. had watched her every movement with an ulterior motive in mind. He entered her bed-chamber and told her she had left her shoes on the stairway. She was disturbed, but in another moment She asked her yes, to teach him the latest jazz step. So to the victrola and the re- ception room she took him. And as they whirled and jagged, as only Madeline knew how to teach her dad the jazz steps, in came the stately stern Mrs. Wallace, just returning from bridge party. And then what happened? Why did Mir. Wallace en- courage his daughter to dance with him at in the morning?
