MAIL L00TER
ON STAND IN
OWN DEFENSE
Chapman Denies He Killed
Officer in New Britain
Store Robbery
(By The Associated Press)

Hartford, Conn, April 2.-Gerald
Chapman today took the stand in his
own defense on a charge of having
murdered patrolman James .Skelly in
New Britain last October IL.
Clear and collected, speaking in
clear tones, he denied that he had
been in the store in which Skel!y
was killed.
His direct examination was brief.
He told of having met Walter F..
Shean, who first accused him of the
Skelly murder, through the agency
of dutch" Anderson, his pal in the
New York mail robbery.
Under cross examination he re-
fused to be rushed into answer by
states attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, who
went into the prisoners past life
over the objections of defense coun
sci.
j, Coolly and candidly he discussed
his spectacular criminal record un-
der Alcorn's urging. He admitted
four previous convictions and dis
cpssed them dispassionately.
Alcorn disagreed with Chapman's
version of the mail robbery, .and the
witness looking straight into the
prosecutors eye, said:
IL don't want to argue this matter
with you. don't wish to go into
the case at all. 1t has nothing to do
with this charge Of murder"
He had fired shot at the Mum
Gle policeman at the time of his ar
rest, he said, because he thought
him a holdup man. The policeman
said nothing before "he poked gun
under my heart" he added, thinking
he was ian unprepossessing fellow
at best"
A policeman stood at Chapman's
Waldo Miller, Chapman testified,
the stand
Waldo Miller. Chapman testified,
was "any man who happened to be
driving" the motor car so often
mentioned during the trial.
"Names don't mean anything, you
see," he easily explained.
"Our friends change their names
as easily as we change our collars"
Speaking in modulated terms,
Chapman often interrupted his in
terlocutor with the words, "if you
wish the truth, just ask me; I'll tell
you."

FILM COMPANY
HEAD IS HELD
FOR PERJURY
Suit Against Lillian Gish
Dismissed by Judge in
Federal Court
(By The Associated Press)

New York, Apr. 2.-Charles H.
Duell, head of a motion picture COM
pany. was held for grand jury action
on a charge of perjury today after
Federal Judge Mack had dismissed
the bill of complaint filed by Duell
in his suit to compel Lillian Gish,
screen star, to make pictures only
for his company.
Never in twenty-five years of
judicial experience" said Judge
Mack, "have had before me case
of such a flagrant breach Of trust as
has been shown in this. With the
possible exception of one case,
have heard no other case wherein
there was more perjury in connec,
tion with both the affidavits for pre-
liminary Injunction and the testl-
mony offered in court"
Bail for Duell was fixed at $4,000,
but Judge Mack later released him
in the custody of his counsel and
brother, H. F. Duell.

SEEDING DONE

Absence of Soil Moisture

AMPLE LABOR SUPPLY
(By The Associated PreSs)

Grand Forks, April 2. - Many
farmers in the southern tier of
North Dakota counties have all their
fields seeded, says the crop notes
made public here today by H. o.
Herbrandson, Federal Bureau of
Crops and livestock estimate statis-
tician.
Northward from this tier, how
ever. less seeding has been accom-
plished, although field work was
possible "in all areas" the report
says.
While this years spring opening
was not earlier than the 1924 sea-
son, it "has progressed more favor
ably and without interruption" the
report continues.
Absence Of much soil moisture
has been noticeable factor in pre-
mitting earlier entry into the fieIds,
only the northern half having had
much snow at any time during the
winter. The small amount Of fall
ploughing done "will undoubtedly
retard farm work this season as the
soil has not yet thawed sufficiently
to begin ploughing," says the re-
port.
The farm labor supply is suf-
lICleHC WIN more transient labor
coming in, according to Mr.. Her
brandson. The supply of seed grains
is ample in all counties and abun-
dance of feed and hay remains.
The condition Of livestock is good
and there is no epidemic of disease
reported from any county, the re-
port concludes.
A. J. Scott, secretary of the North
Dakota Wheat Growers Association
said today that while the contrac:
with M. f.. Bridston for the publica-
tion of the Wheat Grower was ori-
ginally scheduled to run until April
z. the contract had been Cancelled by
the officers Of the Association, be-
cause of failure by Bridston to de-
liver the required number of copies
of the last issue Of the publication
and threats by him to publish mat
ter detrimental to the Association
