L0IE FULLER,
DANCER, DIES
Body Will Be Cremated T0mor.
row After Simple Rites
Ashes Stay in France

Paris, Jan. 3.-(AP)-The ashes
Of Loie Fuller. American dancer and
once confidante Of a queen, will re-
main in her adopted country
France. In accordance with her last
request she will be cremated tomor-
row after simple services for her at
the Ameican Episcopal church.
The high place that the dancer
held in French art and the esteem,
which French hearts felt for her, is
attested by the Widespread mourn-
ing tributes paid in verse and prose.
These came from artists who ad-
mired her as q creator of the dance
and from the public who cherished
her for her peace-time charity and
war work.
Friends said today that, despite
the millions she made, Miss Fuller,
when she died yesterday, was al
most destitute-except in friends.
During the war she became the
friend Of Queen Marie of Rumania.
During the queens American trip
in 1926, they parted. never to meet
again.

TO
HAVE CHOICE
OF 3 PLEAS
Confessed Slaye: of Marian
Parker Scheduled to Be
Arraigned Today
MAY ASK MENTAL TEST
No. Matter What the Plea,
Court Must Hear All Evi.
dence Against Youth
MAY ASK MENTAL TEST

Los Angeles, Jan. 3.-(R)-The
court in which the punishment Of
William Edward Hickman for his
confessed kidnapping and staying Of
little Marian Parker is to be deter
mined today awaited the plea Of
the youthful desperAdo.
Court attaches pointed out that,
barring another postponement Of
plea, Hickman had three alterna-
tives at his arraignment in super
ior court today on the indictments
charging him with kidnapping and
murder. One was q plea Of guilty
with an added plea that the court
examine Hickman's mental condi-
tion before pronouncing sentence. A
second was a plea Of mot guilty by
reason Of insanity" The third
was a simple plea Of guilty.
will Demand Death Penalty
Statements made by the young
Kansas City attorney, Jerome
Walsh, who. will defend Hickman,
indicated that the first might be
chosen in the fight to save his
client from the death penalty. The
prosecution, through District Attor-
ney Asa Keyes, frequently has an
nounced it would demand the ex-
treme penalty, if Hickman's guilt
is pleaded or proved and his sanity
shown.
Whatever the plea Of the con-
fessed slayer of the Los Angeles
school girl may be, attorneys said
he would undergo q trial. Even in
the case of q simple guilty plea, the
court will be forced to hear all Of
the evidence against the youth in
order to determine the degree Of
guilt.
A plea Of mot guilty by reason
Of INSANITY" might mean long
drawn out trial, attorneys said.
May Handle Case Alone
Since his arrival here, the 25-
year-old defense attorney has made
no direct statement for publication
concerning his plans. It even was
doubtful whether he would be as
sisted by a California attorney.
Joseph Ryan, former deputy dis
trict attorney, who quit the prose-
cutor's office recently after firing
. broadside of charges against its
management, announced he had de-
clined an invitation to be associated
with the youths defense.
