TESTIMONY ON
LONG MURDER

Affair and Giving
Husband Poison

COURTHOUSE, Kingsville. Feb.
16-tPp-The defense in the murder
trial Of Mrs. Maude Long rested
this morning after calling the
widow back on the stand for a brief
stay. She is charged with poison
ing her husband, Jim Long.
Blanket denial by Mrs. Maud
Long. 81, that she poisoned her
husband, Jim Long, in order to
carry on an illicit affair with a
fourteen-year-old boy. and intima-
ton that the poison by which Jim
Long died was administered by an
other person were in the record to-
day.
Mrs. Long on Stand
Mrs. Long was on the witness
stand several hours; presenting the
bulk of the defense case in her
trial for murder. She dismissed the
allegation by Pat Smith. IA. that
he was her intimate, Win the
statement that she regarded him as
a mere child. She denied that she
purchased poison in a Corpus
Christi drug store, and asserted
that before the trial she had never
seen the drug clerk who identified
her as the woman TO whom he sold
the potion.
Other witnesses, before and after
Mrs. Long, declared that Pats
mother, Mrs. Gilbert Smith, had
threatened to kill jim Long.
Suicide Secuted
One witness said Pat declared his
mother did 1t. Mrs. Long told OF
a time when Mrs. Smith fired a
pistol at an automobile in which
Long and her husband were riding
Mrs. Smith diSliked Jim. she testi-
fled, because Smith came frequent
" to the Long home to drink home
brew. The same reason actuated
the boy in his frequent visits, she
declared.
"You don't contend" she was
asked on cross-exaIc~nation, that
he poisoned himself?
mo, I don't. Somebody else pois-
oned him. He didn't do 1t himself
he was too afraid Of dying"
Mrs. Long merely identified a
pillow which she said had some
lard on it and pointed out her
husbands picture as that next 10
the beer keg" in an old group photo
graph Of the Austin painters union
local.
The pillow was introduced in con-
nection with her testimony yester-
day that she had forced lard down
the throat Of her husband in an
effort to save his life.
When the defense announcement
was made. the prosecution asked
for a short recess before beginning
its rebuttal testimony.

BIG ADV. FOR

Chicago Hotel Man

There has been no leadership of

Hoover entered the White House"
Garner asserted in a statement.
There Is not a leading public
question on which the president is
willing to make a suggestion OF much
less offer a solution. All Of his
statements are ambiguous. They
car be taken in two ways
Courage Challenged
You hear people talking Of the
president as either lacking In ca
pacity or courage" Garner said.
Either he lacks one or the other,
or both, or he would not let such
chaos develop in party leadership.
The country has lost confidence
in the president, and that is what
Is causing the chaotic economic
conditions.
The republican members OF both
the house and the senate have lost
confidence in the president. Even
old timers, standpatters, and con-
~servatives, don't know what to do,
and they want to try to be regu-
lar"
The Texan said that President
Hoover had not prepared himself
on the tariff, and does not make
"his position unequivocable on any
matter of great importance"
