FRANZEN CASE
AGAINST SHENK
Is N0N-SUITED

Hearing of the suit of Mabel
Franzen against A. NJ. Shenk. came
to an abrupt ending yesterday af-
ternoon when Judge Marsh grant
ed a motion offered by defense at
torneys, for nonsuit, in favor of
the defendant.
In granting the motion the court
stated that the plaintiff had not
shown sufficient proof Of malicious
ness On thl part of the defendant,
in having her tried for insanity,
which was the cause for the pre-
sent suit, nor had sufficient evil
dcaee been offered to prove that
tho defendant positively knew that
the plaintiff was not insane.
The action of the court came as
surprise to all, us it had been
expected the case would be long
drawn out.
When the ease was originally
tried, a jury found in favor of the
defendant, and upon appeal to the
supreme court, new trial was
granted. The plaintiff demanded
damages OF $4,000, maintaining
that her business and character had
been injured when the defendant
attempted to have her adjudgcd in
sane in 1920.

HERVEY MAKES
5-HOUR PLEA
F OR CALHOUN
Final Arguments Are On
Today; Utley to
Close

In an impassioned plea to save his
client from Il conviction for the
murder of Jean Hudson, Attorney
Edgar b. Hervey completed 4 five
hour address to the jury in behalf
of Jim Calhoun, shortly before noon
today.
Hervey started his argument yes
terday afternoon at O'Clock, and
talked until ), resuming this morn
ing when court opened at 9 clock.
Step by step he reviewed the en-
tire history of Anita and Jim Cal
houn since their marriage here in
1920, and based his arguments for
the acquital of his client on the
plea that Calhoun was not i'll his
right senses at the time of the shoot
ing, and had been goaded to the act
by two years of persecution ut the
hands of Hudson.
Seldom has the superior court of
Imperial county heard a more siren
uous plea than Attorney Hervev set
forth, and he held the close atten-
ton of the court, jury and specta-
tors throughout the lengthy address.
Hervey charged that the Calhouns
had been prosecuted by the city po-
lice over Il two year period, subse-
quent to the county election of 1922,
because they had given support to
District Attorney Utley and to
Sheriff Gillett during their cam
paign for office.
Denies Calhoun Threats
He denied that any proof had
been offered during the trial to
show that Calhoun had made threats
against Hudson S life, and conclud-
ed by saying he was pleading for
two lives, as the conviction of Cal
houn will mean the death of his
wife, who is only 4 shadow of her
former self, due, he said, to the
defense claims, to the prosecutions
of Hudson.
Deputy District Attorney Simp
son offered the first argument fol
the prosecution, and argued the con
viction of Calhoun for cold -boOded
murder. He claimed Hudson had
been shot down without a chance
for his life, in his own home, and
literally had been shot from am
bush.
The final arguments in the case
began with the re-opening of court
at l CLOCK this afternoon, with At
torney O. V. Wilson, associated
with Hervey in the defense, making
the closing argument for Calhoun.
Following Wilson, District Attor-
ney Utley is to close for the prose
cution.
1t is doubtful if the ease will get
to the jury before tomorrow noon,
as the district attorney said his adj
dress will probably not be concluded
until tomorrow morning, following
which the court will give instruc-
tions to the jury.

TWO MEXICANS
PICKED UP SOON
AFTER: ARRIVAL

Santos Castillo, %, and Jesus AL.
lanz, had their dreams of a splen-
did opportunity to make money 90
up in smoke yesterday, shortly af-
ter they are alleged to have cross
ed the international line from Mex
leo.
Castillo and Allanz, hearing tales
of good wages in the United States,
decided to come here without the
formality of obtaining passports,
according to the immigration of
flee, and crossed the line without
consulting the federal authorities.
They were picked up on the high
way near Holtville by Inspectors
Paveno and Linfoot, of the immi-
grafton service, and were brought
to the the county Jail to await de-
pOrtation proceedings.
Miguel Oiida, 10 years old, Jared
a little better than Castillo and Al

long arm of Uncle Sam reached
out for him. Inspector Linfoot

THREE ARE HELD
ON SUSPICION IN
NEAR BURGLARY

John Didier, %; Eddie Bohm, 25
and John Nollen, 27, are held nj
the county jail for investigation in
connection with an attempted rob
berry of Dr. Harry Hooper's office
at 647 Main street last night.
Undetsheriff Bert Underwood
stated this morning that nothing has
been proven against the trio, and
they were brought in on suspicion
by a. B. Robins of the Merchants ;
Patrol, who noticed their ear park
ed near DR.. Hooper's s office at the
time the attempted robbery was
discovered, and it was decided to
take them into custody, pending an
investigation.
The attempted robbery occurred
shortly after s o'clock, and was
frustrated by the return Of DR..
Hooper before the intruders had an
opportunity to take anything.
Entry was obtained by way of
the roof and a skylight. which had
been broken through apparently
the robbers heard Or. Hooper ap-
preaching his office on his return,
and vanished by way of the sky
light.
Although there were plenty of
traces of fingerprints on the sky
light, it was impossible for Harold
Gillett to take good photographs of
them owing to the heavy coating of
dust which prevented clear mega
tives.
Dild;er, Bohm and Nollen were
fixing their car n short distance
from DIR, Hopper office when
Robbins noticed them, and as their
answers to questioning were not
satisfactory, it was decided to take
them to jail.

new PARKING
ORDINANCE IS
BEING PLANNED
Two Hour Limit All Day
To Be Enforced
May First

Further reduction in the park
ing limit in the downtown section
of the city is provided for in Ordi-
nance No. 2S8, read for the first
time at the city council meeting
last night.
The new ordinance provides for
a two hour limit on Main street be-
tween Fourth and Seventh streets,
and ON Fifth and Sixth streets be-
tween State and Broadway.
A change is also made in the
hours during which the new ordi-
nance shall be in force Heretofore
the restricted parking ordinance has
been enforced between 9 a. m. and
) p. m. Under the new ordinance
the hours will be from a. III. to
. p. IN.
The reduction in parking time has
been found necessary because of
the congestion in the business Sec
tion. The three hour limit worked
out satisfactorily for 4 time, but
observations in the last few months
has shown that most of the cars
parked on the streets belong to
business men and employees, who
evade the provisions of the parking
ordinance by removing their cars
just before the three hour limit ex-
Pires.
Business Men Favor Move
Business men are said to be in
favor of the new two hour limit, as
1t is designed primarily to help
them by enabling ranchers and out
of town people to get within park
ing distance of the stores when
they come to town to do their shop
ping. Under the present conditions,
it is said ranchers and those who
wish to shop on Main street have
to go considerable distance out of
their way in order to park their
; cars.
The ordinance is designed to be-
/ come effective Nav l.
1t also provides that "No Park
/ ing signs may not be placed in
front of their business places by
individuals without a permit grant.
ed by the city council.
Special permits granting business
houses signs to reserve space in
front of their stores for loading and
unloading supplies, will be issued at
the discretion of the city council.
