NOT GUILTY ON
COURT ORDER
Charges Of Girl That
She Had Been At
tackled By Instructor
Not Sustained

An instructed verdict of not guilty
was returned in criminal district
court Wednesday afternoon for G
P. Baker. former Point Isabel in
structor, charged with having at
tackled Miss Arvella Wells, Ell Jardin
girl between Brownsville and o.
mito Dec. 4, 1926.
The young unmarried woman de-
clared from the witness stand that
she had never had intimate rela-
tions with any other man and that
Baker was the father of her young
child. She stated that she was 60
ing on 16 years of age at the time
of the attacks.
The case took a sudden turn as
court reconvened after lunch. De-
fense Attorney H. B. Galbraith put
three local and Ell Jardin youths, or
the stand and each gave testimony
disputing Miss Wells testimony.
Two stated they had had init
mate relations with the girl, while
a young girl told of an automobile
ride she had taken with Miss Wells
and two youths. One youth told o1
having seen his brother in a COM
promising situation with the COM
plainant.
Despite the fact that Defense At
torney Galbraith had numerous
other witnesses to put on the stand
the state asked for a recess and the
jury was instructed by Judge A. w
Cunningham to return a verdict OF
not guilty.
An effort was made to prove that
the case was the aftermath of a
school election row in the Ell Jardin
district and that funds had been
raised for the prosecution by a sub
scription. The Wells family re-
moved from El Jardin some time
ago following the death Of Mr.. Wells

But most of all he is inclined
to exercise the domination COM
pIex which exists in. the clever
brain of most Airdales; he would
like to boss the whole place. And
especially is he desirous Of show
ing Bobby, the collie who lives
at my house, exactly who's who

But Bobby, being true collie, has
a domination complex Of his own.
The result, Of course, Is warfare.
Each member of the family Is
obliged to spend far too much
time seeing that Pat and Bobby
keep the peace and separating
them-widely and completely
when they do not.
The outcome is that one or the

and-easy, the unconventional.
To work only when inspired,
sounds aIluring II not noble. To
follow the emotions without re-
straint, may suggest unrestrained

work out in actual practice?
Like hundreds of other girls,
Claire arrived in the great metrop-
oils one crisp Autumn day ana
viewed It's jagged skyline for the
first time. Using a small Inherit
ance, she had come to New YORK
from the Middle West, to study
singing with q view to concert
work. For the folks at home
thought Claire had a wonderful
voice.
Taking the tip of a fellow-stu.
dent, Claire engaged hall bed
room In the gray tumble-down sec.
tfon known as New York'r Bo-
hemia. After her first shock at
queer odors, doubtful cleanliness
and general air Of ramshackle
poverty, Claire enjoyed her sur
roundings. She wished she were
part of the gay life she saw in
cave-like restaurants of the village
and through studio windows.
Then came a masquerade to
which Claire was invited. She
dressed as a gypsy.
Meet the girl who sings!'
That was Dicks introduction Of
Claire to his crowd" Dick,
dressed as a pirate, had introduced
himself to Claire, danced with her,
praised her prettfness. He ex-
planned that he was an artisan
illustrator-a free lance.
After that there were moonlight
rides with Dick on top of the bus,
teas in attic studios. And finally
Dick threw" a party for Claire.
She remained in his studio after
the guests departed, waiting for
him to take her home. But Dick
told her how very much he cared,
that he was too poor to marry.

pleaded. What does marriage

Visions of her favorite opera,
'La Boheme." danced through
Claire's imagination of Musette
and Mimi and their love and sacri-
fices! Dicks plan was beautiful,
she decided. He would work hard
at his art, she at her singing. And
they would love each other.
Too soon Claire learned her
mistake. Dick worked when the
spirit moved him, which was very
seldom. The rest of the time he
smoked endless cigarettes, drank
black coffee, gambled, went walk
ing to pick. up the acquaintance
of pretty young girls new to
Bohemia.
In broad daylight Dick was not
romantic. He had a salIow COM
plexion and poor teeth. He was
lazy and selfish and a failure at
his work. He lived up to his Bo-
hemfan philosophy that love
should be free to forget, to
neglect, to hurt and cast away.
Despite moments of tenderness,
good humor and kind-heartedness,
he was a leader, eager to live
from Claire's slim pocketbook and
to get on with as little effort as
possible.
