ent that he is enjoying his rest en-

tate, and that both he and Mrs.
Coolidge have improved in health.
Cedar Island lodge has fulfilled Mr.

USES RIFLE TO
END HIS LIFE

Hubert Barker, 81, of Brawley
ended his own life yesterday with
d rifle. His body was found in a
shed at the rear of the Eagle Pool
Hall, a bullet wound through the
breast. shortly after l o clock.
The dead man left a note i'll which
lie declared that he had made many
mistakes in life, some Intentionally
others because of ignorance and
that he knew that the time had
come when he must commit the act.
Investigation indicated that Bar
ker had pressed the muzzle of the
rifle against his breast, directly
over the heart and pulled the trig-
ger. The bullet pierced the heart

instantly. He had apparently been
dead about three hours when the

COURT DEFERS
JUDGMENT IN
SEDUCTION CASE

Martin Mendoza of Coachella was
given a preliminary hearing before
Judge l. Mayfield Yesterday after
noon on charge of seduction. The
court deferred judgment in the case
until Thursday afternoon. In the
meantime argument of motion en-
tered by the defense counsel rela-
tive to the jurisdiction of the court
and as to the seriousness of the
charge, felony or misdemeanor, will
be argued.
The complaining witness took the
stand and told the court of q speedy
courtship by Mendoza. She said
that he had taken her to Coachella,
to the homo of his parents, with q
promise to marry her and that his
parents had received her, only to
later look upon her as a bad woman.
1t was brought out that after
Mendoza had persuaded her to go
to Coachella he finally admitted
that he was already married and did
rot have a final decree of divorce.
y child was born some time later.
The defense counsel in making
motion for dismissal of the ease held
that due to the fact that the girl
had not been seduced in this county,
the court had no jurisdiction in the
matter. This was attacked by coun-
sci for the prosecution on the ground
that the offer of marriage had been
made in Brawley.
In the other motion the defense
counsel sought to fix the nature of
the crime, either as a misdemeanor
or a felony.
The court then continued the case
for two days for decision pending
the outcome of argument of the
motion by counsel.
Lee Nuffer appeared as attorney
for the defendant and Edward H.
Law for the prosecution.
