she ever told Gray of any uphappi-
ness in the Snyder home.
Previous to starting testimony,
Edgar A. Hazleton, counsel for Mrs.
Snyder, in his opening statement
sought to place all blame for the
crime on Gray. In opening his case,
Gray's attorney, in turn, shifted the
burden to the woman.
DenOunces Gray
Hazelton, his collar becoming I'M
fastened, his eyeglasses lettering
perilously on his nose and his voice
rising in fury, denounced Gray as a
heartiess slayer who induced Mrs.
Snyder to murder her husband
against her will.
I'VE will prove that Judd Gray
waE ere motivating cause of this
murder; that he was completely
broke, and that what he had in mind
was the insurance money" Hazelton
shouted.
He accused Gray Of tempting Mrs.
Snyder to murder by sending her
poison, which she never used; that
he sent her the window weight with
which the actual killing was done
and told her to place it under her
husbands pillow; that Gray came to
the house the night of the murder
and met her when she returned from

Charges Confession Forced

Hazleton then charged that Mrs.
Snyders confession had been forced
from her by bullying detectives, and
concluded with the impassioned
plea:
woman is as God makes her if
it be not for a man. And Mrs.
Snyder would have been as God
made her were it not for an incom-
patible husband and this deceiver,
Gray. Yes, this Gray, who was I'M
true to his own wife, stole another
mans wife, killed her husband, and
then, like the coward he is, squealed
and threw the blame on his mis-.
tress."

ADAMS EXPECTS
SETTLEMENT OF
RIVER DISPUTE

DENVER, Sept. II (R = Confident
that the resumption of negotiations
among the seven Colorado river states
governors Monday will result in an
agreer<nt on water division and
tangled questions, Governors Adams
today informally welcomed the dele
gates back to the conference table in
statement to the press.
Judging" he said, ''by what was
accomplished at the first conference,
we have every reason to believe that
settlement of the lower basin con-
troversy is imminent. One thing stood
out in relief-the fact that there IS
no difference of opinion as to water
division between the states OF the up
per and lower basins.
cit was evident that the Arizona
California controversy over water IS
the chief subject for discussion and
the mutual understanding arrived at
Awo weeks ago will, am sure, form
the basis for an equitable agreement.
Colorado welcomes the seven states
back to Denver with every optimism"

AID ASKED IN ADVANCE
FROM HINDENBURG FUND

BERLIN, R)-Though President Won
Hindenburg's 80th birthday is still two
and one-half months off, his offices
are flooded with requests for support
from the Hindenburg birthday fund.
The fund was started in June. The
underlying idea is that those desirous
of showing their affection for the
venerable head of the republic should
refrain from showering gifts upon him,
but should contribute instead to a.
special Hindenburg birthday fund, the
proceeds of which are to be distributed
among INDECENT war veterans and
others in dire distress. Banks and
other public institutions are accepting
contributions to the fund.
Contributions have been ath e r
meager in proportion to the number of
requests for support. The presidents
secretary has been compelled to issue
a public statement that all begging
letters received now must go into the
waste basket.

AS the cold rain filtered through
the flimsy cloth roof of the Legion

Many impromptu concerts were
arranged around the piano in the

The Legion headquarters were
crowded during the entire day with
visitors seeking information about

CARSON CASE
MYSTERY man
IS IDENTIFIED

! TUCSON, Sept. II t49-There q real
man of mystery in the celebrated Car
son patent suit, now being tried be-
fore Judge William II. Sawtelle in
the United States district court.
He is a quiet unobstrusive person, is
this man of mystery. He can be seen
any day seated at the plaintiffs end
of the big shiny table that consti-
tutes the lawyers dugout. The other
day, question about the unidentified
individual addressed to Charles S.
Wheeler, Jr., of San Francisco, chief
counsel in charge Of the plaintiffs
case, elected only an enigmatic smile
and this gentle but firm statement,
b"sorry, but we are not trying our case
( in the newspapers"
| Today, however, with characteristic
/ boldness, H. A. Elliott Of Bisbee, coun-
sci for the defense, with ruthless hand
| tore asunder the gossamer veil OF
secrecy that the plaintiffs counsel had
so carefully built up.
"There sits the man." Elliott said.
"There sits the man who wrote the
/. decision of the three examiners in
chief of the United States patent Of
flee allowing Carson the claims OF the
second of the two patents that are IN
volved in the present suit and the
man, Judge Samuel E. Fouts, eXamir-
er in chief of the United States patent
office from 1916 to 1926"
While Judge FoutS declined to dis
cuss with reporter any matter not
directly inferable from the statement
made in the opinion of the court by
opposing counsel from other sources,
lit became known that it was Judge
Fouts who considered CarSon's second
application for patent for reverber-
atory furnace.
It was also learned that in 1919,
the patent examiner in chief actually
wrote the two Carson claims, based
upon Carson's disclosure in his ap-
pliaction, and told Carson that If he
would present those claims in lieu of
the claim then on appeal, Judge Fouts
would recommend their allowance.
George Campbell Carson, was a
simple, untutored furnace worker and
man of the hills, living at that time
in California he was unlearned in the
labyrinthine ways of the United States
patent office.
TUCSON, Sept. II CP)vMost OF the
morning session of the patent IN
fringement suit of the Carson Invest
ment company against the Phelps
Dodge corporation and the Calumet
and Arizona Mining company was de-
voted to various models of reverbera-
tory furnaces being used as exhibits
by the defendant mining companies.
The court recessed at noon today
til next week.

MISS STINNES' TEARS
CONVINCE TTJRKTSH POLICE

BERLIN, R)-On her automobile tour
of the world, Clairenore SHINES has
reported her first adventure from Con-
stantinople. Miss SHINES is the only
daughter of the late German magnate,
Hugo SHINES.
Before Miss SHINES and her COM
panions could cross the Bosphorus
they were held up by the Turkish
authorities for four days for having
committed the "crime" of inadvertently
entering the so-called military zone.
Miss SHINES was placed under a mill
tary escort and her two cars, all her
belongings and her dog were attached
by the police.
When all arguments and entreaties
failed, Miss SHINES resorted to tears,
which did the trick. The Turkish
authorities were suddenly convinced
that she was not a spy. They restored
her cars and other properties and gave
her huge bouquet of roses.

The funeral ceremony was attended
by President Won Hindenburg, who ap-
peared in full-dresS uniform OF tleld

The hearse was drawn by four

hope the Democrats had OF success
was to harmonic their differences
on candidates and issues.
Mr.. McAdoo's announcement, which
long had been awaited by Democrat
ic leaders, came in the form OF
letter to George F. Milton, publisher
of the Chattanooga, Tenn, News.
The communication was in response
to one from Mr.. Milton urging him
to announce his candidacy and IN
forming him that he should AGAIN
take the leadership of progressive
democracy" Mr.. Milton added IN
his letter that a survey OF the sit
uation had convinced him that
McAdoo could be nominated and
elected.
While Mr.. McAdoo's announcement
as to his position respecting the
1928 campaign long had been await
ed, it developed today that he had
made his position known privately
to a number of his supporters some
time ago. At that time there were
reports that Mr.. McAdoo had del
initely decided to eliminate himself,
but he stated than that when he
had any public announcement to
make on politics, he would make
it formally. ,
The announcement by the former
treasury head served to revive here
a general discussion of Democratic
"availiables" for 1928 with most OF
the talk centering around Governor
Smith, Senator Reed OF Missouri,
Governor Donahey of Ohio, and
Governor Ritchie of Maryland.
Others whose, names figured in
the conversations around the cap
ital and elsewhere included Sena-
tor Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic floor leader of the SEN
ate, Senator Glass of Virginia, and
Evans Wooden of Indiana.

Then he added: 81 shall not, there
fore, be a candidate for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination in
1928"
While not mentioning Smith by
name Mr.. McAdoo made it clear
in his pronouncement, as he has
in conversation with his friends,
that as private citizen, he would
continue to oppose the candidacy
of the New York governor. More
over, he indicated very strongly, by
emphasizing that there must be no
notification of the constitution that
he would oppose any wet candi-
date.
While senators who commented on
the announcement for publication
were quick in their praise of the
position he had taken, one of them,
Senator Caraway, Democrat, 'Arkan-
mer treasury secretary had not TAX

ferent history. At that time Gov
ernor Smith was willing to with

belief that if Governor Smith with
