Train Bears Extra Load Of
Sunshine as Grass Girl
Returns in Triumph.
By BESS CARROLL

San Antonio has date with its
sweetheart.
Sunday night at e:30-be sure to
be on time.
At the I.-G. N. station.
Jimmie English, San Antonio's
little grass girl" is coming home.
And of course most everybody Is
going to meet her when she arrives
on the Sunshine Special as the guest
of the I.-G. n.
Jimmie left ST. Louis Saturday
night.
That's why when the Sunshine Spe-
cial reaches San Antonio Sunday eve
ming it will be carrying an extra load
Of sunshine-Jimmie herself.
KIDDIEs TO BE THERE.
San Antonio kiddies are planning
to give Jimmie an enthusiastic well
come. Already little girls have got
out the special party frock they want
to wear to see Jimmie English, the
famous little freckled tot whose name
has become familiar on the North Side,
on the South Side. all around the
country.
And when Jimmie steps off the
train in San Antonio there is going
to be a tremendous free exhibition of
that famous ''Texas grin"-a grin
that will be glad all the way across
Because Jimmie has been longing TO
come home.
WANTS TO BE HOME.
81 like the people in st. Louis, but
I want to go home" she has said in
her letters. And tucked about in the
corners of those scrawled little notes
she has written back to San Antonio
have been two plaintive words, "rm
homesick,"
A coy private room in the Robert
3. Green hospital is waiting for Jim
mic and she probably will go there
from the train. Mrs. Martha Robert
son, matron Of the hospital. has au-
nounced that Jimmie can keep a whols
big room of her own all winter If she
wants to-just because she's such an
important person. st. Louis doctors
think that for while It would be
better for her to be in hospital,
where she can have the same treat
ment she has received for the past
few months in the st. Louis Children's
hospital.
MAKE HER HAPPY.
DIR. Albert Fensch. chief Of the
military information bureau at Fort
Sam Houston. has collected a number
of things that will be used to furnish
Jimmie's room. The army post peopl ,
donated a new bed. mattress, com
forts. blankets, pillows, linens and
all kinds of pretty things to make
Jimmie comfortable for the winter.
Yes. Jimmie is really coming home.
A few more hours. and the little girl
who had no chance to live year ago
will be starting a new life of hope
and health and happiness. And all e
cause the people Of San Antonio pitied
and befriended a helpless. penniless
little child.
About five years ago Jimmie In
hailed a blade Of grass into her left

PRETTY COED
SOBSFEARS
Of FORMER
HUSBAND
Both Sides Rest in Trial
of Girl for Crawford
+ Staying.

Suzanne Crawford Dodge has told
her hfe's story. Now IL men will de-
eide her fate.
These men, jurors in the Ninety
fourth district court, Will decide
whether that life story, running the
gamut of human tragedy, justified her
in staying Charles NJ. Crawford,
Houston filling station proprietor and
her divorced husband.
1t was with Suzanne's sohs ringing
in their ears, with the vivid picture
of her dramatic life still fresh in their
minds and with visions of her win
some smile, that they retired from the
crowded courtroom Saturday after
noon.
EVIDENCE ALL IN
Monday they will listen to the "jury
acknowledgements by state and
defense, but Saturday they heard
Suzanne tell her own story, simply,
effectively. The evidence was all in.
The trial, so far as testimony was
concerned, had ended. Suzanne's story
was the outstanding feature, and II
is upon that that the issue Of free
dom or imprisonment will rest.
The IL men leaned forward intent
ly, drinking in every word during the
four hours the pretty University of
Texas coed was on the stand. They
smiled with her and looked grave when
she wept.
And at the conclusion Of an hours
gruelling cross-examination she emery
ed triumphant, smiling, her story of
the shooting Of Charles NJ. Crawford
on the North Loop on the night of
September Is mistaken.
BARE LIFE SECRETS.
Assistant District Attorney Carl
Wright johnson had not spared her
on cross examination. Suavely. but
mercilessly, he had piled her with
questions which dealt with her most
intimate life; her relations with Craw-
ford, with Prentice NJ. Henley, her
fiance, and lastly minute details of the
North Loop tragedy, but she answered
all, readily, simply and convincingly.
Only once did she falter under the
barrage of questions-tbat was when
she described her conversation with
Crawford after the shooting, when she
was driving race with death, rushing
toward hospital with the man she
had shot.
SUZANNE LAUGHS.
II was crying and telling him that
/ couldn't let him die-that he must
not die" she sobbed. "He said he was
sorry for what he had done and did
not blame me-"
This trying point in her testimony
passed, she regained her composure,,
and from then ON it was Suzanne,
clever university coed, matching a
girls wits against the brains and
strategy of a brilliant prosecutor.
Once she laughed at one Of her own
clever sallies.
Both sides closed at o'clock Sat
urday afternoon, just three days to the
hour from the time the trial had be-
gun. The state offered no rebuttal
testimony, and the defense was con-
tent to let its case go to the jury with
the evidence already in.
