TESTIMONY IN
M0UZAKIS CASE
STARTS TODAY
Eye Witness To Staying
Relates Story Of Crime
To Jury.

Two witnesses were called this
morning to testify against Gusta
MOuzakiS in his trial on a charge
of numbering Milran Karagouzian,
after attorneys for the defense and
prosecution announced at 1920
they were satisfied with the 10 men
and two women jurors who filled
the box.
At 1155 attorneys in Judge
Vaughn N. Thompson's department
of the superior court announced
themselves satisfied with another
jury, and trial of Herbert j. Neal,
colored, on a charge of failure to
provide for his minor child went
forward.
H. U. Willis, Ell Centro police Of
ficer. was the first witness called
against Mouzakis, but his testimony
was eclipsed by that of Bill Kato-
sian, Los Angeles Armenian, who
was an eye witness when Mouzakis
shot and killed Karagouzian in front
of a Main street coffee shop July
13.
Katosian, second witness called,
told of being in the coffee shop
when Mouzakis ordered Karagou-
zian from the place. When Kara :
gouzian refused to go, said the wit
ness, Mouzakis threatened him with
revolver. Mouzakis' partner in
terfered, pleading please don't
shoot him, We'll take him out the
witness said The partner and an
other man then forced Karagouzian
from the coffee shop, according to
Katosian.
After Karagouzian was outside
Mouzakis ordered him to get off the
sidewalk, and when the Armenian
advanced toward him, fired six
shots, later beating him over the
head with the butt of the gun, Ka-
tosian said.
Story Unshaken
Under croSS-examination Edgar
Hervey could not shake the story
told to District Attorney Elmer w.
Heald, but elected the information
Katosian did not know the Arme-
nian. and had known Mouzakis for
TWO lIlU1llllS. IltlFty dinO bAOu6Ahe
forth the admission Katosian had
paid no attention to Karagouzlan.
and did not know what his actions
were prior to the time Mouzaxis
threatened him with the pistol.
Willis, the first witness, was at
the police station, he testified, when
informed of the shooting. He told
of finding Karagouzian lying in the
street, and taking him to the hos
pital in the police patrol car.
Kendall B. Perkins, in cross-eX-
animation, indicated possible de-
fense when he asked if the officer
had searched the dead mans pock-
cts. and was informed he had not.
1t may be the contention OF the
defense Karagouzian was armed,
but that his gun disappeared.
Jurors chosen to hear the case
are Leslie A. Rowles and Michael
j. Ennis of Calexico; Mrs. Frances
M. Flynn, Ira w. Wakefield, Mrs.
c. Ben Herring, Byron Earl Mason
and Ira j. Harris of Ell Centro; Carl

Randolph Robertson of Heber and
Douglas E. Teel of Brawley.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 8. UP
President Hoover was preparing to-
day to go once more TO the aid OF
financially stricken Europe.
An extension for one OF. two years
OF the Hoover war debts and rep
/ arations moratorium appeared i'm
Eminent.
y Resolved that further American
aid is imperative, Mr.. Hoover sum-
moned available leaders of the sen
ate and house 10 meet with him to-
night at the White House for frank
discussion Of a proposal to bring
this about.
This development came within a
few hours after the United Press
learned that the possibility of ex-
tending the moratorium was being
considered by the President and his
close advisors.
Any action in this direction, 1t is
assumed, will have linked with it
a move also for more world dis
armament. Bankers are anxious for
debt cuts, but 1t was indicated that
such suggestions are encountering
a degree OF congressional opposi-
ton.
Pressure from American bankers
to this end has increased rapidly.
Mr.. Hoover has canvassed the sit
uation in a series of conferences
during the last few days. He has
become convinced that immediate
action Is desirable.
II is reported that he conferred
secretly with New York bankers ov-
or the weekend. These talks, IL
is reported, were followed by a con-
ference in New York Monday at
the Federal Reserve Bank attended
by Albert H. Wiggin. who headed
the bankers committee which re-

Senator Brings Grief
To Many NOtables.

LEADERS OF all nations joined to-
day in tribute to Senator Dwight
Whitney Morrow, whose brief but
brilliant career as statesman and
diplomat came to a sudden end yes
terday.
Morrow. So, died in his sleep of
cerebral hemorrhage.
The man, known as good
"neighbor' among friends, states
men and diplomats, was mourned
by President Hoover, Prime Minis
ter Ramsay Macdonald of Great
i; Britain, President Ortiz Rubio of
Mexico and many of the foremost
citizens here and abroad.
Preparations were made for his
funeral at p. m. tomorrow at his
secluded estate here. Far away in
China, his daughter, Anne Lind
bergh, and her husband, Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, on an aerial
vacation tour, mourned his passing.
Services for the senator will be
held at the First Presbyterian
church. of which Morrow was a
member. The Rev. Carl Elmore,
pastor, will officiate.

Morrow as a loyal and generous
character as a neighbor and a
| friend"

great loss in the death Of Senator
Dwight w. Morrow" he said.

Mrs. Lindbergh was informed of
her fathers sudden death yester-
day in a cable from her mother and
! by the United Press, but until the
Hermes reaches Shanghai, where Il
is due Wednesday morning, the
Lindberghs' plans probably will not
be known.
Daddy died peacefully today
Don't hurry home was the mes
sage from Mrs. Morrow.
Sustained Shock
| Friends said Mrs. Morrow took
the shock of her husbands death
bravely. The senator seemed In
good health when he retired Sunday
night after a radio speech for Jew
ish philanthropy.
| The first indication of Morrow's
! illness occurred about a month age
when he sustained a partial paraly-
| sis of the right side. The shock was
Temporary, and Morrow appeared to
have recovered.
During the short time that he
was suffering the effect of the at
tack he was unable to talk, or to
use his right arm and leg.
At the home today was Dwight

night from Amherst, his fathers
college. His sister, Constance, who

pected to arrive before noon.

Morrow of New York and Mrs. E. l.
McIlvane, of Meadville, Pa, were
summoned by telephone. A brother
General j. J. Morrow, lives here.
When Morrow was appointed am
bassador to Mexico by President
Coolidge in 1927 he occupied an
eminent position in finance as 4
Morgan partner.
Morrow had undertaken public
service as chief civilian aid to Gen.
eral John j. Pershing during the
war, but was not generally known.
The public soon learned he was

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, February 10 R.-Profit-
taking on price hulges turned grains
downward early today after fresh up-
turns. Initial advances were Influenced
by q steep jump in Liverpool wheat
quotations and by stock market buoy
ency. Opening unchanged to 3ac high
er, wheat, afterward underwent set
backs to well below yesterdays finish.
Corn also started unchanged to sc up
and subsequently showed losses all
around.
Tending to Offset a sudden rise in
Liverpool wheat was the fact that Rus
STA had slashed prices in European con-
tinental markets. The Liverpool advance
was attributed to temporarily dwarfed
stocks there and to inferior qaulity of
immediate supplies, as well as to large
-four sales.
Corn failed to receive the aggressive
buying support that of late had been
conspicuous. Selling from influential
sources disclosed that the market at
times was almost bare of purchase or
ders. Messages from other centerS noted
decided enlargement of rural offerings.
Primary receipts, too, were increased,
totaling 841 900 bushels, against 626, 900
a week ago. Oats fluctuated with corn
and wheat.
Provisions kept pace with upturns Of
hog values.

1890 CROPS DOWN

West Virginia, Virginia and Mary

District.

Crop yields in the fifth Federal Re-
serve district In 1890 were good In two
Carolinas, but were very poor IN Mary
grain crops, says the Richmond Reserve
Bank, Such as wheat. and oats. turned
out well in the entire district, these
crops being made before the drought
became harmful
South Cardinals composite yield IN
1880 of all crops was 1902 per cent
or the 10-year average, the third highest
figures in the United States. and North
Cardinals yield was 1914 per cent. On
the other hand. Maryland's total pro-
duction of all crops was only 1874 per
cent OF the 10-year average. Virginia
produced 67.7 per cent, and West Vir-
g1nia with 500 per cent was the lowest
in the country.
The low price levels for agricultural
products In 1880 added to the distress
caused by poor yields in the upper half
OF the district and more than offset the
good crops in the Carolinas. According
to the December IL report of the Bureau
Of Agricultural Economies of the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
farm value Of all crops in South Caro-
Ina in 1880 was only Sc per cent Of
the value of 1929 crops, North Caro-
lima crops were worth 81 per cent of
the previous years crops. Maryland val
ues. were. IS per cent, West Virginia
