Today.
By United Press
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. IA
The case of Leo P. Kelley, charged
with the murder of Mrs. Myrtle
Mellus, society matron, probably will
be given the jury here today.
The death penalty was demanded
by A. S. Colgrove, deputy district
attorney, making the final plea for
the State.
"The State admits Mrs. MelIus
was not righteous; that she was un-
faithful to her husband and no
one defends her conduct" he said.
The jury then was asked to show
the same consideration for Kelley
as he showed Mrs. Mellus, when
he beat her to death"

have already been aroused in work

ance of the first issue of the
"Workers Pictorial" an illustrated
labor tabloid depicting graphically
the life of the workers and their

The Workers Pictorial appeared
here for the first time about two
weeks ago, marking an event in the
English language such as the Ger
man workers have for a number of
years been conducting through that
remarkable pictorial newspaper, the
".Arbeitar Illustrierte Zeitung." The
Workers Pictorial is for the present
a monthly publication, put cut by
the publishers of the German paper,
but it is hoped to enlarge its field
by taking in more of the American
working class scene and by put
ting it out more frequently.
The Workers Pictorial is unique
attempt in the development of
working class newspapers to picture
the struggles of the workers as dis

newspaper bosses whose chief aim
is always to utilize the influence Of
their papers in their own interests.
