because of your rash deed? All this
can be spared and your loved ones
released from Jail if you tell the
truth as to who inspired YOU"
Shows Emotion
Toral replied with more emotion
than he had showed at any other
time:
ITO no person on earth did I give
the least little indication of my in
tention."
When Toral was placed on the
stand he was asked if he had a law
yer to defend him. He answered no.
and the court made the customary
offer of an attorney. which he re-
fused. The court however, appoint
ed two prominent members of the
Mexico City bar, Miguel Collado and
Jose Garcia Gaminde as defense
counsel.
When the clerk began to read a
long document consisting of the po-
lice statement with the formal
charge, Toral Interrupted to say: 1T
is unnecessary to read this docu-
ment. 1t is all true and ! have al
ready signed every page of it."
The charge was then formally en-
tered by the court.

Continuing his examination of
Toral. the judge asked him If he
also had considered killing Gales.
|, Toral replied:
"Only in case Gales and Obregon
were together and it was possible to
kill both at the same time, but
never thought especially of killing
Gales"
Toral said he never thought of
killing Perez. He testified he had
never attended religious meetings of
political character. but only went to
meetings that were purely religious.
Prosecuting Attorney Correa Nieto

Without a collar and his scraggly

SHASTA region IS
| Lure TO HOOVER
Mountain Trout Egg Him on in
California

Shasta Springs Cal, Aug. Rt-
The lure of the mountain trout
brought Herbert Hoover TO the
Mount Shasta region where he
hoped to have better lvck today
than smiled on him yesterday in the
klamath river section to the north
ward. There he made a good catch,
but the rainbows were too small to
furnish real sport.
After failing to find any sizeable
fish around the Brown Camp region,
the republican presidential candi-
date decided suddenly personally to
investigate reports that there was
good fishing in the Pit and McCloud
rivers near the base of the gigantic
Shasta mountain, which dominates
the plains here for scores of miles
Camp was broken, suddenly at
Browns, Hoover and his party of
more than 40 setting forth for
Shasta Springs Immediately after
dinner. Two and half hours later
the 70-mile run by automobile had
been completed, most of it over the
Pacific highway which winds around
the hills and across the valleys.
through Yreka. Weed and Shasta
City.
RctireS Soon
The nominee retired soon after
his arrival here as he wanted to be
I'D and away soon after the dawn
for fishing places recommended to
him by anglers of this section. He
had with him his favorite rod,
broken near the end but tested IN
many streams and pools and pre-
ferred to new ones.
The commerce secretary felt some
effect from the more than 20 miles
ride he had yesterday on horseback
in getting to Beaver Creek and re-
turning to the place where he and
his two companions were obliged 10
abandon their automobile and fol-
low the huntsman and Indian tnulS
along the hillside through pine and
other trees to fishing holes.
After looking over the water for
time. Mr.. Hoover selected two
flies for use, a royal coachman ana
red ant, and began casting Win
them.
The first place he selected did mol
quite suit his fancy. SO without a
word to his companions he united
his horse from a tree and rode
short space down the stream, where
he began to cast again.

speeded up and a chase ensued. Ii
ended in the wrecking Of the auto

out, fled through a stretch of woods
and stole another a while the Of

finally made their escape.
The three other men in the car
when it was wrecked gave their
names as Elder Leonard II. Cowley

Rev. j. L.. Neville, who said he was
known as the Flying Parson," and
his brother, William Neville, an av-

vile more and more a~ir-minded, the
giant tri-motored Ford plane of the
Kenyon Air Transport company will
take off from the Municipal airport
here at $3.50 a. m. Monday morning
with a party Of Valley people aboard
for a round trip to Monterrey,
Mexico.
The flight will take about two
hours esch way and ample time will
be given the visitors to see the town
Of Monterrey, j. M. Kenyon, presi-
dent of the company has announced.
A large portion Of the 16 passages
already have been reserved but a few
are left and anyone wishing to book
for the flight should get in touch
with the local airport or telephone
90I7 F-3. Should the plane be en-
tirely filled the flight both ways is
expected to cost about s35. The exact
cost will be determined by the num-
Der Of passengers.
The huge plane offers something
to Valley air fans that has been in

is missing. Conversation is easily
carried on between passengers as they
reclins is easy chairs. Even with
novices. the grasp and clutch Gus

Of plane, is missing in the Kenyon
plane.
The wicker chairs are heavily up
holstered and have high backs and
head-rests. Glass windows allow an
excellent view Of the countryside.
The pilots compartment is enclosed
in glass and entirely separated from
the passengers quarters.
The ship takes off and comes 20

Of landing being scarcely perceptaDie
when the three tires touch the
ground at the same time.
The most surprising thing about
the Leviathan of the air is its size.
This is not realized when it is seen
in the air but when viewed on the
ground, it draws many comments.
