of Whites attorneys that since Miss
luther did not possess a written con
trac! her case should be quashed be-
catlse the oral contract came with
in the limits of the statute of fraud.
Miss Luther brought suit against
White because, she claimed, he had
failed to carry out an alleged oral
contract to produce four motion pie
tues in which she was to be starred.
In upholding Schenk's S argument,
Judge Valentine said:
. Since the proceeds of one pro-
duction was to go into the other
productions and the proceeds of the
second into the third, and the pro
ceeds of the third int the fourth,
the court, bearing in mind the time
necessary for one production, be
licves no sane man could do any
thing but realize that these prOduc-
tions would take more than Il year.
''Therefore it is the opinion of
the court that this alleged contract
falls within the statute of fraud.
"This court will not become a
party to the wrong done by both
principals in this case. This is a
place for administering law.s OF
justice and not a place for the flag
rant violation of law

severe to throw dishes and other
articles to the floor but did no
severe damage.

eral weeks ago predicted the shock,
announced his belief that the quake
originated 200 miles southwest of
