PRISONER AT
COUNTY JAIL
ADMITS MURDER
Romero COnfesses Having
Killed NOgales Mexican
In 1918.

Gabriel Romero, SO, Of Holtvillc,
arrested on a minor charge in ilebcr
Sunday and sentenced to Il 80 day
term in the county Jail yesterday
afternoon by judge Mayfield, is
said to have confessed to county
authorities this morning that he is
murderer. According to the in-
formation the man he killed was
Juan Gutierrcs and the crime was
committed in Nogales, Ariz., on the
morning of June -, 1918.
Romero first came under the sur
vcilIance of local authorities Dec
cmber 27, last. At that time Frank
Ealcozar, 80, and Juana Yanez, 2S.
were married in Judge Mayfield' 5
court room and they complained to
the Judge that Romero had been
lothcring them.
They said that he had been
threatening them with gun and
asked that something be done to
stop his ann0yanccs. A warrant was
issued for his arrest on a charge
of disturbing the peace, Balcozar
making the complaint. Romero was
arr estcd short time later but after
Icing confined in jail for some time
in default of bond pending trial
he was released on his own rccogni
zance until further order of the
court. The "gun : with which he
was said to have been threatening
the couple was found to be in reality
n cigaret case, shaped like Il re-
IOlVcr.
Nothing further was heard from
the ease until Sunday when il was
inferred that more trouble had been
encountered by the Bacozar' S with
the man. Spcual Deputy Sheriff
jones of Heber made the arrest !,
charging Romero with being drunk
and disorderly and if was on this
count that he pleaded guilty yes
terday and was sentenced to the
80 day Jail term. lie is said to
have been flourishing razor.
Last night county authorities
were notified by the woman that
Romero had committed the murder
in Nogales and this morning Romero
was put through questioning by
Deputy Sheriff Sharp.
Romero is said to have admitted
the crime to Sharp and then in eX-
Flaming his act said that he had
lived with Juana Yancz for some
II years and that while not legally
married they had always got along
well together and he believed that
she was good woman. He said that
finally Juan Guiterres entered their
life and that trouble then began.
Guiterres tried to take Juana away
from him and that on the night in
question ho returned to find him in
| il home.
Romero is then said to have ad
nited that he became enraged and
stabbed Juan through the neck,
killing him. He fled.
County authorities have tele-
graphed to Nogalcs to check up ON
tie matter but as yet no word has
been received from the Arizona
authorities in connection with the
ease.

"LINDY" ADMITS
PLANS TO CROSS
ATLANTIC SOON
Date of Departure Not
Yet Set But Flight viii
Be Made.
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Colonel
Charles 4. Lindbergh has completed
his plans for II flight across the At
lantc and an aerial tour Of Europe
and probably Asia this summer, it
became known here today.
The trans-oceanic flight will be
made in four hops and will follow
far northern route. The hop off
from the North American continent
probably will be made from st.
Johns, New Foundland, early in
June.
Lindbergh's s plans for European
trip were first announced by the
United Press on March 80.
The flight will be made in q Ford
tri-motored all-metal airplane. Lind
bergh probably will be accompanied
by Major Thomas Ct. Lanphier, com
manding officer of the first pursuit
squadron of the army air corps, al
though, according to information a
vailable here, this has not been de-
cided finally.
L OIHldl announcement VI lIiC
flight may await the return to this
country of Henry Ford, who is in
Europe. The Ford offices in De
troit have, however, already inti-
mated that plans for the flight have
been completed and an itinerary de
cided upon.
According to these plans, Lind
bergh will stop in Greenland, lee.
| land and Croydon, England before
starting on his tour of Europe. The
airman spent several months gather
ing information concerning flying
conditions and landing fields II
Greenland and Iceland.
Lindbergh and the Ford company
have had help from many sources II
the United States and from severa
European governments in drawing
up their plans.
Visit Each Capital
The colonel and Major Lanphie
expect to visit every capital an
important city in Europe and ma
90 on to Asia by way of India o
Russia. Arrangements were mad
some time ago for a trip to Japa
and it is understood that this par
of the program has not been chang
ed.
Whether Lindbergh will com
back from his tour by steamer o
by airplane could not be determined
here. 1t is unlikely, however, tha
he will attempt a trans-Pacifi
flight as first reported. His friend
have urged him to abandon thi
dangerous part of the journey.
Several official invitations fror
European governments are awaitin
the colonel. The Swedish legatio
already has sent him an invitation
from the Royal Aero club of Swed
en- asking him to visit the land o
his forefathers on his trip.
1t is understood a similar invita-
tion is awaiting him at the DAMS

Wanted in L. A.

A picture of Dan Martin, wanted
in Los Angeles as a suspect i'll a
burglary ease and for a violation of
the state narcotic act, flashed from
the top of bulletin received at
the county Jail this morning.
One look convinced several at.
taches of the office that the face
was a familiar one and a few min
utes later the picture was compared
with one Harry Anderson and the
match was perfect.
Anderson is said to have admitted
to attaches that he was the man
wanted as Martin in Los Angeles
and authorities there have been
notified. He is also said to have ad-
mitted that Oklahoma City is also
looking for him as he escaped from

HOOVER .UNOPPOSED
Three-COrnered Battle
Among Democrats Will
Be Close. !,
By GERALD P. OVERTON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent


SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-Gov-
ernor Alfred f. Smith of New York
today invaded the stronghold of his
political foe, William G.. McAdoo, in
the most crucial primary contest
thus far in the 1928 campaign.
Smith lifted his strength against
the forces of Senator Thomas j.
Walsh of Montana and Senator
James 4. Reed of Missouri in q
bitter three cornered fight for the
endorsement of California Demo-
Gratis in the state primary election.
Arrayed against the New York
governor were the staunch friends
of McAdoo, whose presidential cam
didacy blocked the nomination OF
Smith in historic convention strug-
gle in New York in 1924 and the
Independent followers of Reed.
The support of McAdoo's old po-
Iitical organization was thrown to
Walsh when the Montana senator
entered the California race and Nc
Adoo 5 name headed the ticket of
Walsh delegates on the primary
ballots.
A united Republican party cast
its vote for Herbert Hoover. His
mcontested candidacy in the Cali
fornia primary assumed the nature
OF a favorite son boom.
Governor G. C. Young and other
Republican chieftains called ON vot'
ers of the party to turn out in force
and give conclusive demonstration
of the strength of the secretary OF
commerce in the far west.
A moral victory of far greater
importance than the actual support
of California s 80 delegates to the
national convention in Houston was
at stake in the Democratic ballot
ing today.
Smith is Favorite
! If Smith administers a decisive
defeat to Walsh in the home state
/ of McAdoo, his campaign managers
predict the battle for the presiden-
! tial nomination will virtually ba
won.
A victory for Walsh, it was ad.
mitted, would strengthen the opposi-
tion to Smith in the states of the
| old south and other territory where
his attitude on prohibition has

If Reed wins the California dele

One of the most significant events
in the history of motion pictures will
occur today when the Capitol theater
introduces to New Britain the mar
wells of our scientific age, Nitaphone
and Movietone.
First Shown in the Warner thea
ter, New York, in 1926 these devices
caused a furore i'm the theatrical and
scientific world. For years science
Las been trying to synchronize the
speech and actions of the motion
picture. 1t has succeeded at last
and not only that, synchronization is
perfected. The Capitol theater feels
pardonable pride in introducing
Vitaphone and Movietone to this
,ity. After weeks OF preliminary
work in installing the apparatus, the
management announces today, at
- noon as the starting time and the
inaugural of the first sound pictures.
Nothing the Capitol theater has ever
done in the past. can match this
feat OF presenting these marvellous
wonders of the age to local theater-
goers.
