seems very appropriate that English styles should

really started this great country of ours? There
welcome warmth and frendliness about English
styles And the Eighteenth Century styles may be
chosen for dignity. We are showing many of them.
The above ensemble gives some conception of the
unusual decorative possibilities of an artistic oak
suite, the prototype of which was fine old Tudor

ing and the ten pieces with six leather uphol-

DALLAS. Texas, Dec. 12.-(Pl-The
shooting of Orville L. Mathews, Dal-
las banker, by V. Ray Adams, Bart
lett farmer. on a busy Dallas street

ed today by Andrew Priest. assistant

ments after Judge c. A. Pippen had

ney denounced the Staying. Mrs
M~thews, widow of the banker, wept,
and was comforted by her ll-year-
old son. who put an arm around hls
mothers shoulder. A small daugh'
ter. however, played with her Tam
O'Shanter, and was unmoved.
Adams listened calmly to Priests
argument, his 7-year-old daughter
Geneva on his lap, his mother by his
side, and his wife sitting only few
feet away. -,
In the charge, Judge Pippen said
the Jury either could sentence Adams
to from two years imprisonment q
eIectrocution. or. could acquit him
He instructed the jurors that IN ths
event they decided on a verdict as
sessing five or less years Of impris'
onment, they could suspend the ver'
diet. in the event they found Adam
had not committed a previous felony
and thought circumstances warrant
ed a suspended sentence.
