Given To Jury

The case of w. f. Pecarraro,
charged with failure to stop and
render aid following an automobile
accident, went into the hands of a
jury shortly after 10 O'Clock this
morning and the jurors were still
celebrating the case at 2 o'clock
this afternoon.
Upon turning the Pecarraro case
over to the jury the court immedi-
ately proceeded to obtain a jury to
hear practically the same evidence
with Salvatore Maggie of Ell Cen
tro as the defendant. He was IN
the truck with Pecarro at the time
of the accident and is charged with
failing to make Pecarraro stop and
render assistance. Maggie is the
owner of the truck.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Oswell are
the complainants in the ease. They
charged in their testimony that the
truck crashed into their machine on
the highway east of Holtville and
that the truck continued on it's
way. They said no effort was made
t. assist them although Mrs. Oswell
was thrown to the pavement and
quite seriously injured. Oswell said
that he drove the right wheels of
his machine off the right side of
the pavement in an effort to avoid
the truck.
Edward A. Patterson is in charge
of the prosecution while r. b.

There is nothing earth quite like good book. "A
good friend may become bad one, die, be lost

not worth while mentioning The pity of it is that so
devote considerable time the cheap trashy and
often vile literature that is so abundant these days.
And this notwithstanding that our libraries are filled
with the most delightful books available the high

There is no intention to urge the so-called "high

House yesterday by none other than Calvin Coolidge,
the President of the United States, while the
tonal hero, Colonel Lindbergh took second place
the escort of Mrs. Coolidge.
The President of the United States and particular
ly Calvin Coolidge is not given to paying attention to
nncompoops, fly bynghts notoriety seekers Some
times they may impose upon him to slight degree,
but they do not get invited to White House dinners.
Miss Elder has scored in the aeronautical field and
in the social whirl Many grand dame in the highest
society has been forced to call her life unsuccessful
because she never had the opportunity to place her
feet under the White House table and say, "Pass the
butter please, Mr. President
We do not attempt to assert that Miss Elder will
rank with Joan of Arc, Cleopatra Catherine of
Russia in history. She may not be well known in
later years Molly Pitcher, Barbara Frietche or
Calamity Jane, but it does considerable good to
find her triumphing over the busybodies who could
only murmur "scandalous hussy', few weeks ago.
