DOTY is HOME
AGAIN, FED UP
ON ADVENTURE
Father and Mother at Pier
to Greet Boy Freed From
Foreign Legion.
Rv United Press

RV United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Bennett j.
'Doty of Biloxi, Miss, American SOL
der of fortune and adventurer,
came home from the wars today to
dash on a southern porch and lead
life of peace.
"I'm fed up with adventure and
I crave nothing more than rest and
quiet" Doty said when he landed
from the White Star liner Majestic
and was welcomed at the pier by
his overjoyed father and mother.
Doty, rescued from a French
prison by official intervention after
he had been sentenced to eight
years for deserving from the French
Foreign Legion, was grasped in his
mothers arms while his father,
Lemuel H. Doty. of Biloxi, beamed
and grasped his hand. An aunt,
Miss Maude JeffrieS of Washington,
D. c., also was on the pier.
Eager to Get Home
poty and his parents were eager
to be home before Christmas and
said as they started for a hotel that
they would leave as soon as possible.
Doty, a bronzed six-footer with a
Southern drawl he had not lost in
his years abroad, talked willingly
of his adventures, but mostly of how
glad he was to be back in the United
States.
He is " and has been fighting,
of and on, since he was II. He
enlisted at that age three days after
war was declared against Germany
in 1917. and went overseas with the
l15th Field Artillery, 30th Division.
He saw plenty of action.
81 was a buck private all through
the war" was his chief comment
on the World War
Peace Time Too Dull
He was mustered out in 1919, but
found life in peace times too dull
and worked his way abroad on
shipping board vessel, enliSting in
the French Foreign Legion at Bor-
deaux.
IT don't know what my idea was
he said. IT was just restless"
He assumed the name of Gilbert
Clare, according to the custom OF
using aliases in the Foreign Legion.
and was, sent to Sidi-B el-Abbes, in
Morocco. From there his company
was sent to Syria to fight the
Bruises.
After awhile, he said, things
quoted down and he got restless.
II got tired of hearing nothing
but French and Arab lingo all the
time" he explained, so I just
walked off one day."
He added that there was no fight
ing going on. so that he hadn't de-
serted under fire and couldn't have
been shot for dissertation, as reported
at the time.

WAS SHADOWED
Government Counsel Pound
at Intimidation Story
of KidWelI.
BN United Press

B1 United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Edward
j. Kidwell, Jr., Fall-Sinclair juror,
testified in the Sinclair-Burns con-
tesnpt trial today that he believed
agents of the "oil people" Swallowed
him to find out if he was open to
a brihe.
Kidwell added, however, that his
opinion was formed after he was
discharged as a juror. He knew
during the trial merely that he was
being followed.
Other jurors knew they were be-
ing Swallowed, .Kidwell said.
The Government today put Kid
well through severe examination
in an attempt to break down his
story of being coerced by Assistant
United States Attorney James M.
OLeary into signing false aftidavits.
Justice F. L. Siddons directed the
lawyers to clear up the charges
made in turbulent ten minutes of
the trial yesterday, when George p.
Hoover, attorney for Harry F. Sin
clair, charged the Government with
intimidation of Kidwell, its own
witness.
Kidwell today stuck to his story
and said O'Leary asked him to make
the statements. The point of in
timidation did not come up at the
opening of the examination.
Kidwell admitted he took his
mother and O'Leary to a notary
public and swore to one of the state
mentS.
The Government also planned to
try Kidwell, to denolish Kidwell's
assertion that his statements were
false when he said two Of the
Burns detective jury trailers, Frank
O'Reilly and Barton Stewart, had
spoken to him.
The Government had made much
of this alleged contact between the
detectives and Kidwell, contending
that such contact established actual
contempt of court.

on the latter's courts in a prep school

That Eastern will have to be seri-
ously reckoned with in the public high

boys who sport the light blue and
white showed impressively Saturday
in the University of Maryland inter
scholastics at College Park. when they
scored 15 points to finish fourth in

schools.
Bushong, who captured the high
jump, was the only Fastener to cap
ture an event but Coach Gordon

ers in other tests. Talbert showed
class in the 100. and 220-yard dashes.
in both of which, he finished second
to Gasson, Episcopal High flash. and
Miles was second, and O'Brien third,
in the mile.
Perhaps the most notable perfor-
nance turned in by member of the
