GARCIA GUILTY BY
QUICK JURY VERDICT

At 1:30 this afternoon, the jury hear
ing the ease of SusanO Garcia, charg-
ed with kidnapping Cruze Moreno Singh
and Susie Moreno on May %, 1921 3,
from the former s home near CalexicO
returned verdict of guilty after they
had been out two hours, one of which
was spent at lunch. The statutory pen
atty is from one to 10 wears.
A fter thanking the jury and dis
missing them, Judge Cole announced
that he would impose sentence upon
Garcia, Friday July IA.
In the trial this morning, Cruze
Moreno Singh, one of the kidnapped wO-
men, said she and her sister had been
forced against their wills to accom-
pany Garcia and PietrO across the in
ternational line to Mexico. She elaine ed
that Garcia was not only the leader in
the crime, but that she had been fore
ed to Weld herself to him when they
reached the house in Mexico, but first
extracted promise from Garcia that
he would not allow Pietro to molest
her younger sister
Garcia, she claimed, had hit her
sister on the head with his revolver,
rendering her unconscious for time.
The two men forced the women to walk
eight or nine miles into Mexico, and
brought them to small Mexican set
tlement, where they were placed i'll a
house, under guard of Mexican wo-
man. On the morning of the second day
following, they succeeded In making
their escape and returned to the Unit
ed States, where they reported the mat
ter to her sister s husband, who made
complaint to the authorities.
District attorney f. Il. Simon in clos
ing argument for the prosecution, said
he was convinced that the action of a
former jury in failing to agree on a
verdict was a miscarriage of justice
and he felt certain the present jury
would consider the evidence fearless
ly and honestly regardless of the fact
that the principals in the crime are all
foreigners, or because of whatever re
ligious belief they might have.
He said claims made that Garcia
would not get fair trial because he
is foreigner and Catholic were
groundless in view of the fact that the
two kidnapped women ave foreigners
and Catholics though one of them is
married to Mohamedan, s,nd he felt
certain that an American jury would
prove to the public that everybody, re-
gardless of creed, color or race would
receive a fair and impartial trial in
Imperial county. The ease went to the
jury at 1l:30 Il. m.

When | was 10 or II years old,
was no worse than other boys of my
age. We played in alleys. We picked
up empty whisky bottles and sold them
to the saloons for two cents apiece
We got the false idea that to be a real
man one must be real tough.
IT took wears of hard discipline ia
change this view. 1t has not been

The way to correct it is by the de-
velopment of Fairgrounds
After many years connection with
social and philanthropic enterprises, ]
concluded that the gift of land is 4
gift eternal. So | devised a plan to help
small cities and towns acquire land for
permanent Fairgrounds.
First, by conducting campaigns for
funds or bonding elections in towns of
5000 or less within $50 miles of New
York.
Second, by contributing 10 per cent
of the cost of the land, contributions
being limited to $500, in communities
of 10,000 or under.
Third, by purchasing the land and
leasing it to towns of 5000 or less for
Il period of five to ten years.
At first il was hard to get the small
towns interested.
But our success is spreading. More
than 80 communities have made appli-
cation, and the number is increasing
rapidly.
NY son and two daughters join my
wife and me at fortnightly confer
ences to decide on the working out of
our plans. Thus our children are being
educated in social consciousness.
That S something that | missed as a

it in wholesome contact i'll properly
