Cow Country Jurist Forces
Haste in Drawing Hick-

SHOWS DECISION
Overrules Defense Objection
To Sitting in Trial
OF Case
SHOWS DECISION

HALL OF JUSTICE, LOS ANG
EI4ES, Jan. 26 (49-The personality
of country judge dominated the
actual opening of William Edward
Hickmans trial here today.
His Honor, Judge J. j. Trabucco,
called in from the wide open spaces
of Maricopa county to replace Judge
Carlos Hardy, disqualified yesterday
by the defense of the man accused
of kidnapping and Staying Marian
Parker, put his incisive energy behind
the slow processes Of law and time
and again injected speed into the
selection Of d jury when it Jagged
at the hands of counsel.
After assuring himself of the
prisoners plea of mot guilty by
reason of insanity" to both charges
of kidnapping and murder, the vet
erar jurist from the COW country
lost no opportunity to hasten pro-
ceedings and at one juncture cut off
all individual questions to talesmen
by the defense and ordered that the
probable jurors be interrogated in
groups.
The jury box was filled tentatively
by the defense shortly before court
adjourned and the prosecution took
up the querying.
Immediately after court opened this
morning defense counsel Jerome
Walsh objected to Judge Trabucco
on the bench as he had successfully
protested Judge Hardy's tenure of
the seat, but decisive Objection
overruled" N.tror1 his honor started
the case on its way.
Then the judge called for panel
of talesmen and the drone of ques-
tions directed at probable jurors
began.
One male talesrnan went his way
after admitting that he had formed
a definite opinion and could not be
impartial in his Judgment.
Another came up for examination.
What newspapers he read, how much
he had heard of the case over the
radio, what private discussions of it
he had engaged in with his family
and friends were high points of the
defense Interrogation
The court tried to speed up the
question process by suggesting that
stereotyped queries be put to each
batch Of talesnen zen masse.'' De-
tense counsel wanted to know il this
was an order and when informed it
amounted tc such, the questions and
replies began flowing in bulk form.
One hour of this resulted in three
jurors being seated tentatively in the
box, two men and a woman. Two
more were obtained in the next hour.

ticulariy little girls Of the same age

Cabbage Plants Will Soon Be
Ready, Says Canning Com
pany's Manager.

Cabbage seed planted several weeks
ago in the H. Weber & Sons Co. green
houses near Oakland by the Mount
Airy Canning Company, Mountain
Lake Park, will be ready for distri'
button in about ten days, according to
Howard Reinhardt, manager of the
canning company. Cards will be sent
to those already having made applica-
ton for the plants when the proper
time comes, Mr.. Reinhardt said yes
terday. There may be few plants
left for late applicants.
The plants are being given out as
a commercial experiment. Specimens
of the matured crop will be taken
from this, section to Mount Airy for
comparison with the cabbage grown
in that section of the State and if it
proves as good or better than the pro-
duct of that part of Maryland, the
probabilities are that large acreages
will be planted here under contract
between the local farmers and the
canning company.

Rush school, near Friendsville, was
found not guilty of the charge of
assault upon child, the hearing of
which was held before Justice E. l.

and abrasions and blood to flow from
a wound on the arm.

Miss Friend had requested the girl to
take paper home to her father, ona

SIX MORE CATTLE REACT
TO 7. B. TEST THIS WEEK
Total Is Now Only 16 ReactOrs
In 2,671 Tests Made.

Only six more cattle have reacte!
to the tuberculin test in the Cpl tested
during the past week in Garrett coun-
ty, according to records at the office
of the county agent. The total num-
Der of cattle having been subjected to
this test is now 2,671, with only Is
reactors.
"This record is still the lowest in
the entire State of Maryland" saio
Mr.. McGlone, the county agent.
The two veterinarians of the De-
partment of Agriculture who have the
work in hand are still engaged in
Election District No. 6, in the vicin-
ity of Hoyes and Sang Run.
Milk Production Increased
The State testing of herds for tu
bercular cattle and the subsequent
elimination of poor stock has in
creased the average production of milk
more than fifty per cent on many of
the farms, according to estimates
made by dairy interests on the East
ern shore.
The increased production has been
accomplished in many cases with very
much smaller herds than were for
merly maintained. At the same time
the average butterfat content has
been increased about one per cent.
Cost Is Reduced.
1t is pointed out in the estimate
that the increased production has been
accompanied, in many cases, with a
lower annual maintenance cost per
COW than usually prevails among I'M
tested herds. With the increasing ac'
tivity of the State in testing cattle,
many milk stations in Maryland have
begun refusing milk from farmers
who have been offered an opportunity
for testing their herds and have not
awaited themselves of it.
