can: had asked him regarding work
in the cotton fields, and told how
the tragedy had occurred. He told
the same story as when he first CON
tessed and later when plea ling
guilty before Judge Finney 20 a
Charge of manslaughter. He was
seated at the wheel of the c;sr at
the time, Garrett was in the back
seat and Trimmer stood at the right
side of the car, having come around
from the back. Without provoeation
he shot Hernandez, Helms stated and
then with Garrett's assistance the
man was put in the front scat and
later dumped into an irrigation
ditch
In his cross-examination by de
tense attorney Nuffer, Helms stated
that he did not know who had
bought the gun at first and also that
he was afraid to leave Trimmer af-
ter the shooting because the latter
still had the gun in his hand and
nc (Heins) did not find out until
.i,e trio were lodged in the Yuma
Jail that the pistol had been thrown
away. The state raised continued OBJ
jcctions to the subsequent examina-
tion by defense attorney johnson on
the grounds that the latter repeat
cd the questions already asked by
Nuffer. The objections were upheld
by Judge Thompson.
Helms gave his answers in a firm,
sharp voice, answering without hesi-
tation. Trimer appeared unconccrned
during the whole proceedings, some,
times turning to stare at persons in

room.

the same story as Helms and told of
the contemplated robbery of Camp
bell 3 store in Seeley and other de-
tails of their activities on the day
of the shooting. His testimony
brought out what had been said be-
fore, that the actual shooting was
done by Trimmer and cross-exauiina-

questions fired at him by the dc

Barrie Play In
Talking Film

Sir James NJ. Barrie wrote a great
play several years after the World
War. called "The Old Lady Shows
Her Medals.' Those who saw it on
the stage declared it to be even
greater than Barrie s "Peter Pan >
or "Half an Hour''
Termed the most human story
ever written, Barrie's tale forms
the basis for "Seven Days Leave, "
starring Gary Cooper in his second
talking picture, which comes to
Fox Imperial Theatre tonight.
Briefly the plot tells of an old
London charwoman, heartbroken
because her women friends boast
of their sons in service while she
has none. Reading of the exploits
of a soldier who has her own name,
she claims him as her son. Meeting
him when he returns to London he
agrees to accept her as his mother
and she boasts of him to the other
women. Her heart is satisfied in
the belief that she too is doing her
part for England.
The climax cannot be told, but it
is one that causes the heart to throb
a little faster and few can sit
through it with dry eyes. All is not
pathos in the play, the comrades of
the old woman providing plenty of
opportunity for humor of a partic-
ularly fetching sort.

 Somewhat treasured, Brynmor stepped inside. Since it was only a cousin-yet he couldn't escape a feeling that Clarice spoke with an effort. He noticed, too, how pale she was.
 "Brynmor, this is Freddy Mason my cousin" she said Then, as though she was aware of certain strain: What about cocktail, boys?"
 Don't worry. Clary, I'll get the drinks" said Mason. He walked over to a small side board and pulled open the cupboard with a proprietary air. It angered Brynmor. He didn't like this chap at all.
 Freddy passed the drinks around. He raised his glass to Clarice.
 Good luck to you, Clary. You're a plucky kid"
 His voice was low and suave. Yet Brynmor was sure that the voice he had overheard on the stairs hadn't been so pleasant. What had he been saying in such angry tones to Clarice?
