While the wafer receded in par

Fits DENIES
MAKING CHARGE
AGAINST YOUNG
Says He Never Intimated
That Governor Receiv-
ed Money From Lewis.

Les ANGELES, May 30. U.P)-
District Attorney Buron Fits was
on record today denying charges
that he made an intimation that Ju-
lian Petroleum Corporation money
was contributed to the campaign of
Gov. c. c. Young in 1926.
In letter addressed to Marshall
Stimson, chairman of the Southern
California campaign committee,
Fits last night replied to Stimson's
demand that the district attorney
make public any evidence to sup
port the charge.
Stimson quoted newspaper story
of speech at Santa Ana in which
he alleged Fits "threatencd to
prove at the proper time by photo
graphs and checks and the evidence
itself just where the money in the
Julian case went and at the same
t III intimate hat Governor
Ioung's campaign in 1926 received
money from Julian sources"
l'itt's lengthy statement reiterat-
ed his stand that he would not al
low the gubcrnatorial race to inter
fere with his present duties as pros
ecutor and that his office had not
sought publication of the testimony
Of Jacob Berman concerning the
alleged campaign contributions.
"May | point out to you that
Berman did not say that he deliver
CT the money to the Young cam
faign; that he did not say he knew
that Lewis ha delivered the money,
and may | further say that this
office has nothing whatsoever, in
any manner or respect, to do with
the publication of Berman's testi-
mony, which is matter of public
record i'll the grand jury transcript.
'rhere was no inference in Ber-
mans testimony that any opponent
received any part of the alleged
contribution personally. Those who
knew the one involved and his rep
utation would not credit him per-
sonally for an instant with any i'm
proper connection with such a mat
ter and, so far as ! am concerned,
want to say that no such suspicio'
WAS entertained in any degree"
The paragraph above, Fits said
origially was contained in a speecl
made by him several weeks ago ant
was repeated that Stimson could b;
assured of his attitude.
"While your letter to me is Who'll
ly political and in the nature of pol
! itics, am replying to you in this
manner furnishing you with the
facts in the hope that | may, Sc fal
rs possible keep political meddling
out of the functions and activities
of the district attorneys office
! Fits said in conclusion.

OBTAIN JURY TO
HEAR EVIDENCE
IN RED" CASE

A battle between attorneys over
the selection of Il jury IN the trlai
of nine radicals indicted by the
grand jury before Judge Thompson
in department two OF the county sn-
perior court, which had been IN
progress since Monday morning,
came to sudden close at 20
O'Clock yesterday afternoon when
the task of empancling this jury was
ACCOMPLISHED to the satisfaction OF
both sides in the struggle.
After the defense had exhausted
- of its % challenges, the last jury
man was seated and that part Of
the trial was over. The jury which
will sit tor this trial, considered as
perhaps the most important legal
event ever to occur in Imperial
county, consists of Q men and .
women, as follows: Henry Hayes.
Brawlev; Sam Donaldson, CaleNico; !;
Herman Knapp. FL Centre; A. j.
Werve, Calipatria; Y. =. stevens,
Brawley; W. p. Mcclure, FL Gentro :
Mrs. :. \. Andrews, Brawlcy; r. h.
Mulvev. Seeley; Mrs. Hazel Gillispic,
Brawley; j. +. Steintory, Calexico /;
George Lich, Brawley, and Ms.
Ada Priest, Imperial.
About l0C prospective jurors went
through the examination and cross
questioning from both sides Of tn"
legal battery until the l2 were
chosen. 4 glance at the jury as u
new stands shows that ii is truly
representative of the valley, every
town except lIoltville being repre-
aented thereon.
One interesting feature of the
questioning of jurors occurred when
i. T.. Withers gave his reason for
being excused that he had served
on a similar case and after the de
fendant, Roscoe Thoman had been
found guilty he obtained new trial
and an appeal and a motion for the
dismissal OF the charges was present
cd to the court by the district at
torney pn the grounds of insuffic'
lent evidence. Withcrs WAS eN'
cused ASIA juror by the court.
Immediately after the jury was
sworn in. short recess wa9 d.S
clarcd Upon reccnveniNG of the
court. the indictment was read +
the jury and defendants by the
clerk and at about clock court
was adjourned until Monday morn
ing at which time the examination
of witnesses will commence.

FITTING TRIBUTE
TO HEROIC DEAD
Parade And Services Az
Evergreen :. Cemetery,
By War Veterans.

Memorial Day was fittingly OBJ
served by FL Centre, beginning al
sunrise when all flags III the city
were hoistcd to half staff, and cul-
miEating in the services at Ever
green cemetery when the memory
Of both dead and living warriors Of
the nation were eulogized and flow
ers placed upon the graves of those
who had gone West III the service of
their country.
Main street presented a pretty
sight with the many flags hanging
from under the arcades over the
sidewalks while most of the busi-
ness houses and many of the resi-
dcnces had one or more flags on
display. Practically all the busi-
ness houses Ill the city closed their
doors. The court house was untcn-
anted throughout the day and the
city hall door bore an announce
ment that it would remain closed
not only today but tomorrow as
well. Police court was vacated for
the day and the streets Of the city
took on real holiday aspect.
Promptly at 10 o'clock the parade
got under way from the court house
and marched along Main street to
the Eastside school where it dis
banded. City traffic officer Frank
Smycr led the marchers, followed
by District Attorney Elmer Heald
and Hugh Osborne, the former in
military uniform, the latter in ci-
william clothing.
Then came the drum and bugle
corps of the Holdzkum Post of the
American Legion, Imperial, in their
natty blue uniforms. swinging
along the avenue in measured
tread which must have brought
back memories of II years ago. Two
Civil War veterans in an automo-
bile followed and then Boyce Aten

Perkins. hove into view. The corps
has been newly outfitted III new
uniforms; dark red caps and jac
kcts, with tan trousers and black

ensemble. Members Of the post fol
lowed the drum corps.
The rcarguard of the parade was
brought up by the bugle corps of
the Boy Scout Troop Ne. 7 and of
iiccrs of the American Legion Aux
iliary in an automobile.
The parade, while brief in dura-
tion, furnished the necessary at
,Inospherc for the day which would
have been sadly out of harmony had
such an event not occurred. The
marchcrs were enthusiastically
greeted by many persons standing
along the line of march and they
unconsciously held their heads just
trifle higher and stepped along
with greater precision as they
passed their reviewers.

Wildeyed and reeling as if on
the verge of collapse, an unknown
man rushed into the police station
with thrilling story of how he had
been set upon by two men in an
automobile, robbed of his money
and then thrown out onto the pave
ment, just north of Calexico, early
last night. Advised by the police
to tell his troubles to the sheriff's
office, the man, strongly suspected
of being more than mildly intoxi-
Gated, made off for that office
without any delay.
There he retold his story, and,
according to officials of that office,
was taken Immediately to Calipa-

ants could he found and identified.
