PRISONER ON CHAIN
GANG IN DASH
FOR LIBERTY

A break for liberty by a prisoner
and q several hour search ending
when the man was found hiding un-
der bed i'll an apartment house
furnished the excitement for the city
chain gang today.

cleaning up the location for the pro
posed public market when one of the
prisoners eluded the guard and ran
The guard was under the necessity of
taking care of his other prisoners be-

WASHINGTON, March 9.-With the
fate of the bonus uppermost in the
minds of eXservice lhen the Marine
corps recruiting service has prepared an
attractive folder that contains n digest
OF the bonus situation in each state as
1t applies solely to acts of the state
legislatures. Through the cooperation
of recruiting officers with state Off
cials the status of each state in regard
to any bonus plan adopted, the methods
and amounts of compensation, provis-
ions for disabled soldiers, land grants,
educational provisions and any other
measures that have become effective
or may be pending, was complied to the
beginning of February.
The cooperation of the state officials
of both the American Legion and the
Veterans of Foreign wars has also been
enlisted by the recruiting service for
Il liberal distribution of the folder TO
the posts of those organizations. The
title of the folder, "What the States
ire Doing for the Ex-Service Man. -
self-cxplanatory and Il study of what

POSTPONE OPENING
OF PAVING BIDS

The paving question was the princi-
pal order of business at the meeting of
the city council last night. Only two
bids had been received, that of Oswald
Bros. and of DAILY. After some discus
sion, it was voted 10 put off opening
of bids for two weeks, the hope being
that in the meantime other contractors
could be interested in the work
This plan received some opposition, it
being contended that the job had been
fully advertised and the advertising
supplemented by personal efforts to in
terest other contractors. 1t was the be-
lief Of part OF the colncilrnen that
delay would not result in developing
any new bidders, but would run the
work over into the summer season, a
feature TO be avoided if possible.
After discussion the weight of argu-
ment seemed to be in favor of renewed
ffort to interest new bidders and the
postponment was ordered.

Barred in Court

LOS ANGELES, March On ada
lynne Obcnchain, clad in black and APP
pearing very beautiful, today took the
stand in Superior Court to clear her
name of the faint of murder
For the first time since she has been
held to answer for the death of John
| Bolton Kennedy, Madalynne actually
stood alone.
Although her friends, attorneys and
Ralph Obcnchain, her divorced hus-
band, gaZcd intently upon her every
movement, Madalynnc was far away,
standing on the brink of justice, tell
ing II jury of her broken romanccs
Madalynne S voice was almost maud
iblc. Her lips were blue, and tremb-
ling. This, however, was the only dem
onStratio of emotion she showed.
AS Madalynnc took the stand, Judd
r. Rush, her senior counsel, cleared his
throat, eadjusted his huge bulk in II
swivel chair and after preliminary
questions said:
"Tell Of your first meeting with
Kennedy after you had arrived in Los
Angeles.

~ said, This is Madalynnc Obcn-
chain speaking. He asked Where are
vou?' | was at Il friend s house visiting
for short time, | told him. Bolton,
] want my letters, | said. He replied
that he wanted to see me. ! told him
il was unnecessary.
Reads Love Note
Rush suddenly switched tactics and
dramatically read a letter alleged to
have been written by Kennedy to the
young woman now on trial for his
murder.
'' How beautifully you have rcmcm-
bcred me, dear Madalynnc, - Rush
read. 80 And if YOU only knew how
deeply touched | am evervtime ! take
one of those little black silk pieces in
my hands and know you chose them
for me!
Tears rolled umrestrainod and un-
ashamed down Madalvnnc' S checks
now, as the words Of her impetuous
lover came back over the milestones
of time.
50 DO not think me cold, ungratefu
All, no! 'Tis only that | wander in the
dark, and, oh, Madlynne, | cannot see
the light. | know it lives, but the
darkness is smothering, smothering
me. If could. lift the black mantle
away and up from nry shoulders and
step out into the glorious days. Oh,
Madalvnne, do not judge me harshly. -
Ralph Obenchain, his teeth biting
his lower lip, sat tense while Rush read
II copy of the letter. The original had
been lost.

LONDON, March o. Edwin Samuel
MOntagu, secretary Of state for India,
has resigned as a result of recommended
tions of the India government relative
to Turkey, it was announced today.
Austen Chamberlain, government
leader in the house of commons, init
mated that the Indian secretary s resig-
nation was due to publication of the
Indian government IS manifesto which
conflicted with the cabinet policy.
The cabinet, he indicated, had not
sanctioned publication.

George ministry, of which he has been
a member since 1917, was shaky. 1t
has been political gossip for some time
that if Montagu fell the government
would go with him.
