CHAPLIN'S BRIDE,
ONLY 16, MUST
KEEP UP STUDY

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2.-By tre
Associated Press.)-A Photographic
copy of the siXteen-yearold birth
certificate of Lillian Louisa Nc
Murray, who several years ago be-
came Lita Grey, of the movies, and
who several days ago became Mrs.
Charles Chaplin, was tossed onto
the Chaplin lawn early today about
the time the morning milk was de-
livered.
1t beamed from prominent page
of the Los Angeles Times, where fate
and the activities of inquisitive re-
porters had conspired to place it for
comparison with the Mexican mar
riage records which last week de-
picted Miss Grey as a nineteen-year
old bride and gave Chaplin's age as
thirtyfiVe.
According to the certificate pub
lished by the Times, Miss Grey was
born near Hollywood, April Is, 1908.
She later attended two schools in
Los Angeles. records of which re-
veal the same date.
Thus she was a girl of thirteen
when Chaplin discovered" her three
years ago and maiden of sixteen
when he married her.
This, according to the compulsory
schooling law of California, makes
Mrs. Chaplin subject to the require
ments of educational authorities,
whose duty it is to see that no minor
escapes schooling until after his or
her eighteenth birthday anniversary.
1t does not necessarily mean, school
authorities pointed out. that the film
comedians bride will have to go
back to school, since the law allows
instruction by tutors to be substi-
tuted. But one way or another, says
the law. she will have to keep up
with her lessons"
Neither Chaplin nor his bride
could be interviewed last night.
Mrs. Lillian McMurray Spicer, moth
er of the bride. also was refused
when she and her father, w. E.
Curry, hurried to the Chaplin home
for an interview. Mrs. Spicer ad-
mitted her daughters age had been
incorrectly stated in the Mexican
marriage license, but explained it
was done ''for business reasons"
the same business reason which
prompted secrecy in all preparations
for the marriage.

Hal Cady Indicted for
Second Degree Murder
In Death Of Broward

ORLANDO, Fla. Dec. 24.-The
$685. 900 bond under which Hal Cady
is at liberty for his appearance in
criminal court was continued fol-
lowing his indictment for second de-
gree murder last night, it was dis
closed this morning at the sheriffs
office. This bond had been furnish
ed shortly after a coroner'S jury had
recommended that the defendant be
held in connection with the Staying
of n. B. Broward, nephew of former
Governor Broward, in the Cady home
more than a week ago.
Cady will be arraigned before
Judge 7. Z. Warlow and given an
opportunity to enter plea of guilty
or not guilty when the criminal
court opens Monday morninS. The
case now passes from the hands of
States Attorney Raymor Mcguire
to County Solicitor w. NJ. Murphy.
Jr., for prosecution and the trial will
be conducted in the criminal court
of record, as only first degree muir
der cases are tried in the circuit
court in this county.
The organization of the grand Jury
and the hearing of evidence occupied
after the evidence had been submit
ted it took the grand jury less than
an hour to decide on an indictment.
The grand jury investigation was,
of course, secret, but the same wit
nesses entered the jury room that
testified at the recent inquest, and
1t is presumed that they repeated
the same stories to the effect that
following the breaking up of a gay
party at the Cady home late Friday
night, November -, Broward re.
turned, shortly after midnight and
sot into a tussle with Cady in the
bathroom, during which three shots
were fired, the first coming through
the closed bathroom door and strill-
! ing Mrs. Cady in the shoulder Doc
/ tors testified that Broward had been
i shot from behind and when they eX-
lamined the body shortly after the
shooting the coat and shirt were
missing. The fact that three bullets
| one lead and two with steel jackets,
were recovered in the bathroom, has
not been explained in any testimony
Idisclosed to the public.

TAX PUBLICATION
UPHELD BY COURT
AS PRESS RIGHT

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec. BY
the Associated Press.)--F'ederal
Judge Albert l.. Reeves today sus-
tanned the demurrers of Walter S.
Dickey, owner and editor Of the Kan
sas City Journal-Post, and Ralph
Ellis, general managing editor, to
indictments charging alleged illegal
publication of federal income tax re-
turns.
The clause in the law holding that
publication of income tax returns
was illegal, Judge Reeves said in
effect in announcing his decision. IL
in violation Of the first amendment
to the federal constitution relative
to the freedom of the press.
Judge Reeves said there lad been
no publication Of income tax returns
by the newspapers of the defendants
but that publication was made from
a prepared list Of taxpayers and the
amounts of their tax which may
have been different from or the same
as the actual returns themselves.
The Dickey-Ellis case was the
first to come to trial of several test
cases brought by the government for
alleged illegal publication Of income
tax returns. 1t also was the first
case in which individuals were in
dicted instead Of newspapers or pup
fishing corporations.
Arguments were heard by Judge
Reeves yesterday on the demurrers
filed Friday. The defendants, in the
demurrers, recognized the truth of
facts contained in the indictments
returned about a week ago, but
challenged the sufficiency of the
charges. Defense counsel contended
that it was the intent Of congress to
make public the amounts of income
tax paid and that newspapers were
within their rights in publishing
what had been made public. An at
tack also was launched on the va
lidity of the provision in the law
prohibiting publicat ton Of income tax
returns on the ground that it vio-
lated the constitution Of the United
States.
