BODY OF MAIZE
IS Sent TO Fl.
WORTH, BURIAL

The body of Roy Maize, who was
shot and killed by his brother-in-
law, Levy Frazier, on the night of
September 3, in their shack in I'm
perial, was sent to Fort Worth, Tex
as yesterday afternoon to be buried.
Frazier, who was found guilty of
shooting two bullets into the body
of his brother-in-law, by the cor
oner's jury yesterday will be ar
ranged Monday morning, in the sup
erior court of Ell Centre, on charge
of murder in the first degree.
The defendant will rely on the
plea of insanity, to save himself.
Authorities in the case believe that
Frazier suffers from partial in
sanity, and at the time the murder
was committed he may have been
suffering from one of these spells.
John Frazier, father of the accus-
ed told the authorities that his son
has been suffering from a mental
disease for some time, and that he
brought his son to Ell Centre from
Los Angeles, in the hopes. that the
COiuAtlOIS dAu ucTc
would affect a cure. He also claims
that he, never knew. that his son
carried a gun. With the above tes-
timony and the testimony of pro-
minent physician of Los Angeles,
who examined Frazier a number of
times the defence hopes to prove
that Frazier was insane at the time
the killing was committed.
The statement made by Frazier to
Sheriff Gillett to the affect that
his sister, Rose Maize, wife of the
slain negro, had urged him to kill
her husband, was emphatically de-
MED by her. In statement made
this morning in the sheriff IS office,
she says, Maize had beaten and
abused her q number of times on
slight provecation. And when the
beating and abuse became unbear-
able she left him and went away.
The members of the Frazier family
join in saying that ever since Maize
into the family, he has been
atrouble maker.

Declaring that the chief obstacle
to this effort at the present time
is the supreme court, he summoned
the American people vigorously to
resist all proposals to limit its pow
er warning that their success would
mean that the people "will see
their savings swept away and their
children perish from want and hun.

''The time to stop those who
would weaken and loosen the fabric
