from to 8. and attempted to take
her own life.

Woman UnmOved
By Testimony
By United Press Leased Wire

COURT ROOM, Long Island City,
n. V, April 26.-Mrs. Ruth Snyder,
badly shaken but fighting to keep
her composure, sat in court today
and heard George V. Mclaughlin,
former polce commissioner of New
York, quote her own words to accuse
her of the murder of her husband.
The dignified spper-detective,
now an executive of the Postal
Telegraph Co., at $4,000 year,
calmly and in detail rccited how
Mrs. Snyder and her lover, Henry
Judd Gray, on trial with her, told
him of their. illicit love, their plan
to get rid of Snyder and how the
art editor was murdered in his bed
at night. Both have since repudi-
ated their confessions, saying they
were obtained under duress.
A five pound window weight,
made of iron, with which Gray is
alleged to have crushed the skull Of
Snyder while Mrs. Snyder looked
on, was drawn out of its wrapping
and waved before the eyes of Gray
in court today.
Gray, following closely each move
that was made as the state directed
its attack against him, whispered to
attorneys but never lost his COM
posure, as Il hardware clerk and a
negro porter told of selling Gray
the ugly, grey iron bar.

LEGION POST TO
PUT RECREATION
GROUND IN CITY

Plans for an extensive recrea-
tion center in Ell Centro. were dis
cussed at a meeting Of BOyce Aten
Post last night, an outline of the
proposed center being presented to
the meeting by committee which
has been working on the matter for
several months.
The post plans to construct the
recreation center with the funds OBJ
tanned from the county through the
one mill tax which has been levied
for the past three years. Legion
posts in other valley cities have al
ready used their portion of the
fund, Boyce Aten Post being the
only one which has not as yet put
the money to use.
Included on the committee which
has been working on the plans are
representative of Imperial Valley
Camp No. 80, United Spanish War
Veterans. 1t is the opinion of the
committee that as the money to be
used is derived from the public, it
should be used in such way as to
enable the public to enjoy it.
The plans presented at last night ,:
meeting were only tentative sug
gestions, but form basis on which
the idea can be developed, Com
mander Law stated today.
A special meeting of the Post
has been called for Friday night
when the members of the United
Spanish War Veterans are also in
vited to be on hand, and definite
action on the proposed recreation
center will be taken at that time.
All members of Boyce Aten Post
are urged by Commander Law to be
present at Friday nights meeting,
notice of which will be sent out by
the adiutant.
Boyce Aten Post voted last night
to contribute $25 to the Red Cross
as its share of the relief fund for
the Mississippi Valley flood suffer

TO AID RELIEF

Opportunity to assist the hun
dreds of thousands of flood suffer
crs in the Mississippi Valley, is Civ
en- to residents of FL Centre through
the local chapter of the American
Red Cross, according to Col. Charles
l.. Phillips, chairman of the Ell Cen
tro chapter.
President Coolidge has designat
cd the Red Cross to take charge of
the relief work, and Secretary
Hoover, of the department of com,
merce, is in command of the relief
forces.
A telegram received this morning
by Colonel Phillips from w. Car
Hunt, director of the Red Cross at
San Francisco. advised that FL Cen
tro s quota of the $5,000,c00 relief
fund to be raised, is $400.
Colonel Phillips has allotted
quotas to make up this fund among
the various service clubs, commun
ity organizations and lodges of the
city.
Believing, however, that some
may not be reached in this way, the
chairman has asked the Press tt
state that anyone desiring to make
contribution to the fund can sen'

the situation of the regufees very
desperate one. 1t is a privilege as
well as a duty to assist them, fol
none of us know when we may be
in need of like assistance.
