Victims Wife.

BY the Associated Press.
PASADENA. Calf, April 30--A con-
fiict arose between investigating author
tiles yesterday as they continued their
search for what they believed was the
untold truth" of the killing of Victor
A. Cooley, wealthy Pasadena automo-
bile dealer. Cooley was fatally beaten
on April Is with a hammer by his
employe and roommate, John L.
Howard.
The friction resulted from an attempt
Of Chief of Police Charles Kelley of
Pasadena to bring Howard and Mrs.
Pearl Cooley, the widow. together.
Howard, in lengthy statement, dis
closed yesterday. admitted an intimate
friendship with Mrs. Cooley.
The statement by Howard, which
followed his confession Friday of
the staying. amplifled a point of the
crime which authorities have investi-
gated repeatedly friendship with
Mrs. Cooley. Howard described numerous
liquor parties" with Mrs Cooley since
they began going together last Mo-
vember, eliminating in his proposal of
marriage. which she rejected, he said.
Since that time in January, 1929.
Howard said, their relationship virtually
had come to an end.
Howard has maintained that Cooley
grabbed him following an argument
over liquor and that he struck in self
defense.

A combined service team from the Navy Mappers and the Cutter Snohomish Saturday night defeated a pickup local team at City Park by a score of 2 to 6. The local outhit the Service outfit but were outplayed in the field
 Cunningham held the sailors to six hits in the seven frames while his team was hitting the sailor hurlers, Retan and Erickson for nine. But the sailors gave their pitchers fine support, being charg- cd with but three pebbles The locals were charged with eight CT TOTS, some of which were costly.
 The Sailors scored first. Erickson was safe on an error at short, went to third on dropped fly in center but was nabbed at the plate. Hall went to second and Eaish to third Retan's single scored both runners.
 Juneau scored four in their half of the second. B. Schmitz was safe on Retan's error. Kille- wich singled advancing Bill and both went up a notch on a wild pitch. J. Schmitz drew a pass. Kearney doubled and Nello singled to score four runners.
 The Sailors added two more to tie in the third Hindle popped out to first. Rand was safe on an er- TOT at second, advanced when Paw likowski was hit by pitched ball. An error at short filled the bases. Eaish hit to short forcing Rand at the plate. Hall doubled scoring and Erickson.
 Four more were chalked up by the Sailors in the fifth. Greber was safe on an error at third Hin- dle bunted safely after Greber stole second. Rand was safe on an er- TOT at short, Greber scoring. After Pawlikowski whiffed, Erickson hit a single scoring Hindle and Rand, and himself scored on two success sive errors.
 That was the end of the Sailor scoring. Juneau scored one in the fifth and two more in the seventh, but lacked the punch to put over either the tying or winning run.

President Coolidge has not vet ar
rived at n decision as 70 his occu-
patton after retirement from office.
although he has been approached
hy several persons with proposals
that he write syndicated articles

The president regards that field

occasional articles dealing with his
experiences and observations In

START TRIAL
OF MCLOSKEY
Selection of Jury Gets
Under Way In Ira
Wis County

AUSTIN. Feb. l9.-P-The tedi-
Gus process of selecting a jury in the
criminal trial Of Congressman ELECT
Augustus J. McCloskey Of San An
tonic went ahead ut a good pace to-
day. Three OF the first four venire-
men Intercepted were passed ms
prospective jurors.
Only the attitude OF the venire-
men towards the case and the law
governing the matter were gone
into. Neither religion nor political
utilization was touched upon.
McCloskey. democrat and Cath
ole, was certified after the Novem-
Der 0 election. after which five in
dictments charging him with alter
ing returns were voted At the time
OF the election McCloskey was coun-
ty Judge OF Bexar county CSan An
tonio) and the return passed
through his hands.
OF the men summoned In the
regular panel, excuses reduced the
number TO 28 today with only that
number available the calling OF a
special panel was rendered neces-
sary, since the legal custom Is to
qualify 81 tentative jurors and then
permit prosecution and defense to
eliminate ten men each, leaving the
twelve who will sit in judgment.
"A Snag was struck with the first
venireman examined today. He
was Walter acobson, young farm
err. He was doing nicely under the
questioning until the defense found
that he would refuse to consider the
indictments against the congress
man-elect as merely the vehicle for
bringing him into court. jacobson
insisted he would have to consider
the indictment itself as evidence.
The next three passed tentatively
were "A. r.. Booth, farmer: w. l..
Rowe. bank employe. and Jack
Chiles, Jr.. insurance man.
None Of them admitted intimate
knowledge Of the case which was
brought to this county on a change
OF venue.
Both McCloskey's father and son,
James, the latter a student at IN
Austin university, were spectators
today.
The Interrogation OF veniremen
was left TO local talent on the ex-
tensive staffs of prosecution and de-
tense. That for the state was in the
hands Of Henry Fl. Brooks, district
attorney for Travis county. Brooks
Is only % years old. less than two
years out Of college. and engaging
in his first big case.
The head Of the prosecution Is
Lamar Seeligson. district attorney
for Mexar county. He Is only 80
years old.
ri developed that Congressman
elect McCloskey and Mr.. Brooks
had one thing In common-they
both smoke h~and-rolled. brown-pa-
per cigarettes. While the decorum
and formality OF the court ran along
otherwise according to judicial Gus
tom and respect for the bench,
smoking was permitted and the in
terroEation Of veniremen ran along
with smoke rings wreathing the
heads Of attorneys. defendant and
spectators.
