RIGHT TO VISIT
DEATH HOUSE IS
GRANTED DEFENSE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 5. UP)-
The prosecution in the case of Win
ME Ruth Judd lost a minor point
in superior court today when Judge
M. T. Phelps ruled that defense
counsel could inspect the apart
ment where Mrs. Judd allegedly
murdered Agnes Anne LIE Roi and
Hedvig Samuelson.
Herman Lewkowitz. defense attor-
ney, obtained a court order late yes
terday which permitted him to visit
the place where the girls were shot
and their bodies packed in trunks
for shipment to Los Angeles.
Lloyd j. Andrews, county attor-
ney, filed a petition asking dissolu-
ton OF the order. His petition was
denied today after a brief hearing
before Judge Phelps.
The prosecutor contended the
court lacked jurisdiction as the
charges against Mrs. Judd have not
been filed in superior court yet. She
has been arraigned in precinct
court and will have preliminary
hearings on the two murder COM
plants next Monday.
Andrews gave notice of his in
tention to appeal to the state su-
preme court to obtain ruling for
guidance in the future. Mean
time, Lewkowitz utilized his legal
rights by visiting the murder bung-
allow" as well as the apartment
where Mrs. Judd lived.

Resumption of construction at

ire on Main street is scheduled to
begin within a week or 10 days
after having been delayed by a tenn
porary restraining order issued by

Excavations were made at the
site and crews of men we're at work
with a large outlay of machinery
when a telegram ordered all work
to cease temporarily. Since that

done.
Local interest in the building of
the $l30,000 theatre is keen and
residents undoubtedly will be glad
that work is to be resumed soon.

DEMOCRATS PLAN
CLEAN SWEEP IN
HOUSE LINE UP
Complete Change From
Speaker To DOOrman Is
Contemplated.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. U.P)-
While some leading Republicans
, clung tenaciously to the hope their
party will remain in control of the
house, Democrats went ahead with
! plans today for complete reorgan-
ization from doorkeeper to speaker
on the basis of added strength gained
in Tuesdays congressional cleo
tions
Meanwhile, Democrats and anti
Prohibitionists continued to rejoice

national standpoint, greeting it as
an augury of success in 1882. Henry
II. Curran. presicent of the associa-
ton against the prohibition amend
ment. said: The election is not only
complete victory for getting rid
of prohibition but IS also a particu-
lar warning to footing Repub-
licanS who think they can fool the
people on this issue. l wonder if
the Republican leaders will wake
up in time TO escape a complete
knockout in 1882"
Republican leaders professed to
see nothing but an off-year reac-
ton in the election OF Democratic
governors in New Jersey and appar-
emily in Kentucky, of Democratic
mayors in New England cities, and
of a Democrat in the eighth Mich
igan congressional district.
Proceeding on the assumption
that Rep. John N. Garner of Texas
will be elected speaker, Democrats
began discussion of candidates for
important committee chairmanships,
floor leader, committee clerks and
house officers.
Due to the large number of COM
mittee chairmanships which will go
to southern Democrats, if Garner
wins. the northern Democrats are
receiving the most attention for the
floor leadership, political general Of
the party in action. Two men are
prominently mentioned-John o.

SALE OF WINE
JUICES TO BE-
DISCONTINUED
Recent Court Decisions
Seen AS Reason For
New Policy.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S. U.P)-
Donald Dom, managing director of
Fruit Industries, Ltd, told the
United Press today that Fruit In
dustries was discontinuing its sale
of "Vine-Glo' grape concentrate,
effective Immediately.
Other activities OF Fruit Indus
tries, which include tte sale of
grape jellies, sauces and similar
products, will be continued.
Vine-Glo is the grape concentrate
which has been sold generally over
the country by Fruit Industries. 1t
is delivered in the form of grape
juice. When allowed to stand for
60 days it turns to wine. Fruit In
dustries agents have made 1t a
business practice to call upon Gus
toners at the end of the so day
period and bottle the wine for them
in their homes.
The sales have been advertised as
legal under the prohibition laws
which permit the keeping of "fruit
juices in the home.
Mabel Walker Willebrandt. for
mer assistant U. S. attorney gen.
eral, has been active in Washing
ton as the attorney for Fruit Indus
trie, Ltd
During the past week she has
made several calls at the White
House but whether they had any
connection with today's announce
ment was not known.
Reports that sale of the concen-
trate would be discontinued were
heard about Washington last night.
Several persons received telephone
calls warning them that if they de-
sired to stock their cellars they
should place their orders before
midnight.
Today Conn confirmed to the
United Press the report that the
sale of the concentrate, which was
in high favor with connoisseurs of
wines throughout the country would
be discontinued
Walter Newton and Theodore JOS
lin, secretaries to President Hoover
when questioned denied that the
White House had connection with
the discontinuance of the sale of
the concentrate. Fruit Industries
has been under the financial wing
of the federal farm board. 1t was
reputedly the first organization of
agriculturiSts to receive loan
from the board after congress voted
half billion dollars to aid farm
ing.

MYSTERY LETTER
MERELY STEP IN
BROKEN ROMANCE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5. U.P)-
Louise Hunter, missing fiancee OF
Murray Salzman, young New York
business man, was found here to-
day. Salzman, however, who sped
across the country in search of her,
had disappeared.
Miss Hunter was located at an
exclusive lodging house through a
book she borrowed from a lending
library-the story of shattered ro-
nance.
The girl refused to see Salzman
should he be found. "We did love
each other once, but it is all over
now, we are through" she said.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5. U.P)-
Fears that Louise Hunter, missing
Greensborough, N. c., girl, was "un-
der some strange influence" were
expressed by authorities today after
a myStifying letter had been re-
ceived from her.
The letter was sent to her fiance,
Murray Salzman, New York busi-
neSSman, who was here searching
for her. He collapsed and was
placed under the care of a physi-
clan at his brothers home in Oak
ley, suburb.
The letter asked Salzman to end
the search for her, but he claimed
1t bore indications of having been
written under duresS.
The case was further clouded
wffen woman who said she was
Miss Hunter telephoned police
matron and two newspaper offices
to deny that she was missing, but
refused to say where she could be
found.
The handwriting of the letter
was shaky, the wording hystericaI
and the paper evidently was tear
stained" Salzman said. 1T isn't
the tone of a letter Miss Hunter
would write. 1t was beyond doubt
written by her and the postmark
proves she is somewhere in San
Francisco, but she must be under
some strange influence"
Miss Hunter vanished after re-
ceiving a letter purportedly from
Salzman breaking their engagement.
Salman said the letter was forg-
cry.

NORTH END MILK
WAR MOVES into
SUPERIOR COURT

Brawley's milk war moved south
today, coming to rest in superior
court here when P. I. Haddan and
P. I. Haddan Jr filed suit against
Lon Cromer, Brawley police chief:
John L. Parker, health officer, w.
c. Macdonald, milk inspector. and
the city of Brawley, asking $4,000
damages and an injunction to pre-
vent Brawley officers from stopping
sales Of milk from the Haddan
dairy in the north end town.
Macdonald was the chief object
of attack in the complaint filed by
the Haddans. He was charged with
making false reports on milk taken
from the Haddan dairy, with no
other object than to harm the husi-
ness of the dairy in BraWley. The
inspection was instigated by compe-
titors of the Haddan dairy, the
complaint said.
Macdonald, on October 27. took
a sample which had been obtained
from another dairy without his
knowledge, and made a test of it,
the complaint charged. In his re-
port he said the milk contained
$4,000 bacteria per cubic centime-
ter.
He did not make a re-examina-
ton, but ordered that no milk from
the Haddan dairy could be sold in
Brawley, the plaintiffs asserted.
When the partners continued to sell
their milk in Brawley, at a lower
price than that asked by other
dairies, the younger Haddan was
arrested and thrown in jail, accord
ing to the complaint.
In police court he was made to
promise he would sell no more milk
in Brawley, under threats he would
not be released on bail if arrested
again, said the complaint.
For damages to their business the
plaintiffs asked $4,000 damages.

Donald and Brawley police officers
from refusing to allow them to sell

OF MURDER TRIAL,
Blacken Character OF De-
ceased As Witnesses
Tell Of Past Life.

AS defense attorneys prepared to
close their case today, the character
OF Ernest Puryear, killed by j. w.
Head in Brawley September 8, grew
continually blacker with testimony
OF witnesses for the retired Brawley
rancher of incidents in Puryear's S
past life which, defense counsel de-
clared, show that Puryear was a
dangerous man.
When the state Unexpectedly an
nounced yesterday afternoon it
rested its case, spectators in the
court room were astonished. 1t was
pointed out, however. by those ia
miliar with court room procedure,
that the states greatest burden will
come with rebuttal testimony, since
it is the duty of Heads attorneys to
prove their contention of self de-
tense and the right of the state to
attempt to tear down that defense
in rebuttal.
While M. w. Conkling of the de-
tense continued to bear the great
est part of the burden of question:

shifted its forces, with District At

Japanese troops carried several
Chinese Strongholds in battle with

testimony of Eunice Pringle, anna
teur dancer and complainant, attor-
neys for Alexander Pantages, mil
lionaire Snowman accused Of as
saulting her. tried today to show
she was guilty of improper conduct
with her dance manager.
Permitted after long court bat
tie to question her about her rela-
tionship with her manager, Nick
Dunaev. the defense insinuated that
she had remained at his apartment
over night on several occasions prior
TO August 8, 1929, when she claimed
Pantages attacked her. She denied
all the intimations.
Miss Pringle, however, admitted
attending several parties at Dun
aev's apartment but she insisted
they always were proper parties and
that she at no time remained over
night
She denied that she ever drank
any liquor at any Of the parties.
Permission to question her about
granted by Superior Judge Clair
Tappaan only after long arguments
during which the defense claimed it
had the right to delve into her past
with general questions 'in seeking
the light" and during which the
state held it must ask only about
specific instances of purported mis-
conduct by the witness.
During the first trial of Pantages,
his attorneys were not permitted to
inquire into Miss Pringle's past at
all but this very point was used by
Pantages in persuading the supreme
court to grant him retrial
The attempt to force Miss Pringle
TO admit improper conduct was
started by defense attorneys imme-
diately after she concluded her dl-
rect testimony.
