RELATES
BOMBING.
One Of Accused Men
Gives Damaging Testi-
mOny On Outrage
COACHING is DENIED
Witnesses Assert No In
structions Given Them
About Testimony

Anthony D. Patton, who Is
charged jointly with A. l.. Hodges
and E. T. Mccoy with the murder
of Ariston Lampky, was on the wit
ness stand this morning and yes
lrerday Afternoon as witness for the
state, repeating in effect the con-
fession he made to Tom Sharp fol-
lowing his arrest in connection with
the Imperial bombing.
Cross-questioning py Harry w.
Horton and Edward B. Patterson in
an effort to impeach the prosecu-
tion's star witness occupied almost
the entire session of court this
morning, before it adjourned until
10 o'clock Monday morning.
Defense attorneys have based
their fight for the freedom of their
defendants, SO far, almost entirely
en- efforts to prove that witnesses
for the state have been coached In
their testimony by either District
J Attorney Elmer w. Heald or Tom
Sharp, special investigator for the
district attorneys office, and in ef-
forts to prove in cross-examination
that others than Hodges and Nc
Coy were heard to make threats
against Filipinos in Imperial.
When Horton asked A. l.. Peters
yesterday afternoon if Peters had
talked with Sharp about the testi-
mony to be given in the case, Peters
replied that he had. Horton asked
what form the conversation took.
He told me to tell the TRUTH" re-
piled Peters.
Sharp whose efforts are largely
responsible for the evidence entered
| in this case by the district attor-
neys office, took the stand twice,
but each time for only a moment.
Once he identified piece of chick
en- wire he had cut from the window
of the barn in Imperial, and the
second time testified to finding q
slug, supposedly from the bomb, in
a house near the barn.
When Patton first took the stand
yesterday afternoon he was warned
by Judge A. c. Finney of his rights
in the case, and that anything he
might say could be used against
him.
He replied that he wished to test
| ify. In reply to questions by Horton
the accused denied that he had re-
ceived any promises of immunity
from the district attorneys office.
the sheriff's office, or the probation
officer, on the condition that he
testify for the state.
Gives Details
Patton, in brief, told of his first
connection with Hodges, Mccoy and
C. M. Hunter, the latter charged
with murder but unapprehended;
related the efforts of Hodges to
take up "a collection to buy dyna-
mite; of the procuring of fuse and
black powder; of the trip to Ell Gen.
tro when the dynamite was bought:
of th procuring of the pipe and fit
tings with which the bomb was
made; of the completion of the
bomb and the carrying of it by
Hodges on the night of the bomb
ing.
He testified that he and Mccoy
remained in the pool room from
the time the bomb was taken into

and added that if the Associated
chambers continue to work with the
bureau, marketing problems will be
solved and necessary legislation
passed.
The third speaker on the dairy
industry was DR.. G. F. Proper of
San Diego. Proper stated that the
three most important ways of i'm
proving dairying in Imperial Valley
are by tubercular tests, improved
sanitation and the formation of a
cow testing association. The speak
er stated that a good start has
been made on testing herds for
tubercular reactionaries and that
the number of such reactionaries
found was slightly over Is per cent,
a much lower figure than he had
expected and lower than the num-
ber of reactionaries in the average
herd in the United States. DR.
Proper stated that the cleaning
out of herds is very necessary tc
prepare for the present market fol
dairy products which is right al
our door and for the future market
which increased demand will cre-
ate.
Chart Shows Decline
A chart was displayed by thu
speaker showing the decline in but
terfat during the past months ane
the fact that during the past three
days the price has risen five cent!
,, was remarked upon as the begin.
ming of steady climb in price
"With the increase in the price Of
butterfat and the present low cos
of alfalfa. barley and other feed.
the dairying outlook is bright
stated DR.. Proper, "and although
there are still over 10000 pounds
of butter in cold storage, the amoun
is 100000 lower than it was yea
ago."
/! Reverdy Harris, secretary Of tn,

who has pleased audiences in E
Centro in the past, was met with
enthusiastic applause when he sug.
gested that if the people of Impe.

product and told them of the pal
atableness of whale blubber which
is used in Alaska, where Harri.

Hang Three Men Con-
victed of Murder

CANON CITY, Colo, Jan. 81. U.p)
Three men were hanged on Col
orados extraordinary gallows last
night.
Claude Ray, "a, Andrew Halliday
%, and John Walker, As, were pul
to death in that order in one hour
and II minutes for killing Under
sheriff Coral A. Hickman, who tried
to stop them as they fled out OF
Kansas with the loot of bank
robbery last March.
The men refused to decide for
themselves who would hang first.
and prison authorities decided, Sc
lecting the actual killer to be first.
He will be buried today OIL Wood
pecker Hill, the prison cemetery,
and the bodies of the others will
be sent to Missouri.
In his last moments, Walker as
sumed responsibility for the predic-
ament of the others, and said his
own ignorance was the cause of it

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 81. U.p)-
The electric chair at Ohio peniten-
tiary claimed three more victims
last night. Three bandits, all OF
Mansfield. O., were executed for
the killing of a filling station at
tendant.
Earl Sites, 81, was the first to
die. He was followed by Kenneth
Mccartney, 25, and Fred Massa. q.
They were convicted of completely
in the killing of Ralph Wilcox. of
Gallon, O., during a holdup of his
filling station June 81 last year
Massa, the leader of the three,
was characterized by DR.. Creed,
state alienist. as being of more
than average intelligence" DR..
Cred examined all three to deter
mine whether their plea of insanity
was justifid. Sites and Mccartney,
he said, were under average intelli :
gence, but knew the difference be-
tween right and wrong. Massa had
admitted firing the shot which
killed Wilcox.
The youths appeared resigned as
they went to the chair.

Carbohydrates should form q
little more than half the entire
diet. They should furnish about
1000 of the 5000 calories the
average adult consumes in, a
day. This means about 400
grams of carbohydrate. as
against 200 grams of fat and
protein together.
In bulk the carbohydrate con.
tanning foods are even more in

and they give most Of the bulk
to our diet.
Commoner names for carbo-
hydrates are sugars and

carbohydrate in the average
diet is ordinary granulated
sugar. Bread, crackers, cereals,
are all predominantly carbohy'

from 80 to 80 per cent of that

Vegetables range from 5 per

Among the 5 per cent ones are

Clothes

Some girls are glad and some
are sad at the thought of going
back to college. But when the
day arrives, there's always lots
of excitement. Hailing class
mates again, exchanging tales
of holiday parties, boasting OF
new beaux and most thrilling
of all-showing off your new
clothes. It's just like fashion
show when girls start trying on
their vacation purchases.
Go Shopping Now
Practically everyone comes
back with G. few new dresses
and a coat. You get so tired OF
forever wearing the same things
around the campus. And a Sat
urday afternoon in town, or a
weekend. a. home is always
crammed with so many actlVl'
ties that there's no time to
really shop. And besides a col
lege girl needs variety in her
wardrobe, to buck up her spirits
through that everlasting middle
term!
Tailored Kid AngOra
OF all the dresses that we
saw and knew would answer
the purpose, we liked the one
illustrated at the left above
the best. It's made OF kid
angora-just as smart a fabric
as anyone could want for in
formal wear. There're two
colors very cleverly combined.
A bright color or white for the
mannish little tailored collar,
the buttons and belt buckle all
matching the upper half OF the
sleeves and saddle shoulders.
Then the rest of the dress
and lower part of the sleeves
are dark-either black or
brown, Oh! We nearly forgot
there was one in red, with
white for the contrast In the
