Mrs. E. L. Doheny, to whom a por-
ton of the paper, and bearing the
signature of Fall, was given by her

this regard, but again defense counsel

will permit her to take the stand.
Under the law Mrs. Doheny could
not be compelled to give testimony
against her husband.
The Government has employed a

with those who have been Subpoenaed,

time than that given from the stand.

Water from a radius of mile or more

When the earth suddenly collapsed

lives. and took nearly every man of
the little settlement Of North Lake.
The bodies of seven men were forced

Three others later were recovered

ship at About 30,0 900.

Washington's army of organized
citizehry has been augmented by
10000 during the twoweek drive
under the direction Of the Federation
OF Citizens Associations, and now
numbers in the neighborhood of
$4,000 persOnS-somewhere between s
and per cent of the $4,000 persons
the Census Bureau claims for the
Capital.
Although complete reports had not
been made last night, when the drive
officially closed. to Chairman Jesse c..
Suter, he estimated that 1.-The cam
pa1gn for new members Of citizens
associations had netted 10000 new
members and had brought back into
the fold many members who had been
backward in paying their dues in past
years. Twenty-Five per cent Of each
dollar collected in the drive goes to
pay the expenses Of the campaign,
and any unexpended balance Is credit
ed to the treasury Of the federation.
Drive headquarters established at
1885 New York avenue two weeks ago
were closed last night, and the office
staff and fixtures moved into the Office
of the chairman, at 1415
street.
Mr.. Suter made his estimate Of 10,-
900 accretions to the ranks of organ
lied cittzenry on the basis Of partial
returns from downtown associations
and on incomplete returns from % Of
the 45 associations making up the
federation. Twenty.three Of the con-
stituent members Of the latter body
have not yet made report. His es.
innate Of 10000 new members was
backed up by a similar estimate by
Harry N. Stull, chairman of the head.
quarters committee. Both declared
the drive complete success and Mr.
Suter said its results would extend
throughout the Winter, with the i'm.
petus gathered in the two weeks in.
tensive campaign which was conclud-
ed last night.
The drive began on November 10
and was intended to end on November
20, but was extended for another
week. Increased interest In citizens
organizations brought about as a di-
rect result of the drive has already re-
suited in formation Of the two new
associations and the probability that
two more will be formed.
Drive headquarters will begin to-
morrow an effort to secure complete
information on the net results of the

Whatever 'Dynamite" May Be Set-O& In

and Reporters Is Required.

cabinet officer. the present case draws
additional interest.
So far as the spectacular Is con-
cerned, though, the Fall-Doheny trial
Is perhaps a disappointment to the
mere spectator. There Is lacking that
suspense shown during the eventful
days when the defendant Doheny and
the defendant Fall appeared before
the Senate investigating committee
four years ago. A stern bailiff main
tains strict order in the court. None
dare whisper for fear Of a curt re-
minder that There must be order in
the court" A few who arose premaI
turely when it was announced that
court, had adjourned for the day, now
carefully refrain from rising until
Justice Hoehling has left the room.
Even newspaper men, prone to disre-
gard many regulations, abide by this
rigid court rule.
There is an absence, too, OF the
camera men and flashlights, with
their explosion and clouds Of smoke.
Camera men must wait outside to
snap celebrities. The only thing that
lends an atmosphere Of the unusual to
the court room scene is the large ar
ray Of newspaper men and counsel and
the importance of the two mild, at
tentive men sitting on the defendants
bench.
Crowds No Longer There.
Outside the court room during the
first few days of the trial, which
threatens to continue until Christmas,
long lines Of men and women stood
patiently waiting chance to enter.
Now the line is dwindled until scarcely
a dozen persons are drawn by curios-
tty to the scene Of the trial. outside
those whose presence Is necessary.
Empty seats in the court room are
not unusual now.
Aside from interest in the two de-
PENDANTS, there Is the usual craning
Of necks on the part of newcomers to
see some Of the other witnesses who
are in daily attendance. Mrs. Doheny.
wife Of the defendant, sits patiently
and hopefully in one Of the seats re-
served for spectators. Then. too,
there is her son and daughter-in-law,
Mr.. and Mrs. Doheny, jr. All three
are witnesses summoned by the Gov
ernment. Young Doheny, strapping,
big man, always sits beside his
ing bribery case.
Mrs. Fall and her daughter, Mrs.
c. c. Chase Of Ell Paso, also are
frequently in attendance. Sometimes,
during lulls in the proceedings, the
two defendants come over and sit
with their families. Nearly always.
however, they are to be seen sitting
on the long bench directly behind the
three attorneys for the Government.
There they sit and pay strict atten-
tion to all that is going on. Mr..
Doheny, slightly hard Of hearing,
cups his ear with his hand, Gas
though desirous of not missing any
thing. Fall, whom the late Senator
Lodge declared had one of the great
est legal minds in the Senate, often
holds whispering conversation with
his counsel. Sometimes he prompts
them and sometimes they come to
him to consult him about some con-
troversial point that may have arisen.

WANTS WOMAN
TO SERVE TIME
Government Files Brief Urq.
ing Appellate Court to Sus-
tain Williams Sentence.

Government counsel took action yes
terday to have sustained in the Court
OF Appeals the conviction in Criminal
Court of Kate Williams, colored, found
guilty last Winter Of manslaughter in
the killing of Fred Williams, colored,
her husband December /, 1925, at 49
De Frees street.
Peyton Gordon, United States attor-
ney, and Raymond Neudecker, his as
sistant, filed their brief in support of
the conviction and urged that the
Appellate Court remand the accused
to begin serving her sentence.
Released on Bond.
At the time of her conviction she
was released on bond by Justice Bailey
pending the outcome of her appeal.
1t Is urged in the Government brief
filed in the upper court that the con.
.viction, upon circumstantial evidence,
should be upheld, in spite Of rulings
by the trial court with respect to not
requiring the Government to produce
as a witness John Surles, the only eye
witness to the affair. Surles was
called as witness for the prosecution,
but was not offered.
Argument On Anniversary.
It was claimed by the accused that
when she called Surles as a witness,
she was required to take chances
invasive Of her constitutional rights.
Surles' testimony in the trial court
showed that Williams was struck by
his wife with lighted lamp during
fight. He received fatal burns.
The defense was that Williams at.
tackled his wife and she was COM
PEELED to strike back to protect her
self. Attorney Royal A. Hughes
filed his brief for the accused and
the case Is on the calendar for argu-
ment this week, exactly one year
from the alteration in which VIII.
