Popularity Of Mary Pickf0yd

(By The Associated Press.(
LOS ANGELES, Calf, July 30.-If
Mary Piokford ever wished for proof
of her popularity in filiom, it was
here today. She had only to pick up
her morning paper and read and re-
member how the rank and file of
film fans yesterday thronged four
floors of the hall Of records in an
effort to hear her testify at the trial
of three men charged with plotting
to kidnap her.
She had only to recall the obs and
abs of adultation that greeted her
entrance and the fond goodbye
Mary that filled the air as she was
escorted out through the surging
throng to her limousine. Her appear
ance in court overshadowed the issues
of the case iteslf and crowded from
the limelight even her dynamic hus-
band, Douglas Fairbanks, who in ear
lier sessions of the trial had played
to a pretty full house himself.
Some few of the spectators were
listening when the prosecution dra-
matically announced the presence Of
its long missing star witness, Louis
Geek, better known among police in
formers as Louie The Spider" they
had no time for Loie; Miss Pickford

jections of purported confessions
made by the three defendants, Charles
Stevens. Claude Holcomb and Adrian
J. Wood. For then Miss Pickford was
tripping timidly toward her auto
mobile.
What she said on the witness stand
was not important. Briefly, it was
that she knew practically nothing
about the kidnapping plot save what
she was told by her husband; that
she had not seen the defendants lott
ering about her studios; although she
once had noticed a small coupe of
popular make following her limousine.
She was actually on the witness
stand about ten minutes, but the
crowd began examining the court room
and corridors early in the day as
soon as it became known that she was
to be called some time before ad-
journment.
As the result of the failure of
defense attorneys to have their clients
purported confessions barred on the
ground that they were obtained by
brutal methods, the state was expect
ed to conclude its case today with the
testimony of Louie The Spider" who
is credited with having gathered most
of the prosecutions evidence by as
sociating with the alleged plotters.,
