SALE OF BRAWLEY
BUILDING LOTS
CAUSES ACTION

Because the purchaser failed to
make payments on lots in Brawley,
John w. Leonard yesterday after
noon filed in superior court a suit
against the United States Bond and
Mortgage company and the Bank
of America National Trust and Saw
ings Association seeking return of
the property and 5000 damages.
The property was divided into
81 lots, according to the complaint,
with deed to one lot to be de-
posted in escrow in the bank when
each payment was made. The sales
contract provided it would be null
and void should the purchaser de-
fault in any payment.
Deeds to 16 of the lots are now
in the Brawley branch bank, the
complaint said, but the bond COM
pany has defauted in eight pay
ments.
The complaint alleges the bond
company has disposed of several
of the lots without the consent Of
Leonard. The lots are valued at
Sl00 each.
Leonard asked that the contract
be cancelled, that all deeds not dis
posed of be returned to him, that
money already paid be forfeited to
him under terms of the contract,
and for $500 damages.

Davidson Obtains
Legal Documents

William Caine Davidson. without
benefit of court order, yesterday
afternoon recovered from Don C.
Bitter, his former attorney, papers
dealing with Davidson's million COL
lar damage suit against San Fran
cisco officials for alleged false i'm
prisonement.
When he petitioned Judge Vaughn
N. Thompson for an order direct
ing Bitler to turn over to him the
papers, Davidson was informed the
court had no jurisdiction to issue
such an order, since the papers ney-
er had been introduced in evidence,
but that such an order was un-
necessary. Davidson then called up
on Bitler and obtained 86 papers
dealing with his trial and sentence
to San quentin penitentiary.
Davidson also took occasion yes
terday afternoon to deny his case
has been dismissed by the San Fran
cisco court, where it was transferred
after default had been entered here
against three prominent defendants.
The case is still awaiting hearing
there, he said.
The night of November % was
the coldest in November at River

WOMAN DEALS
HARD BLOW TO
STATES CASE
BY WENDELL BURCK
United Press Staff Correspondent


RENO, New, Dec. II. U.P) - A
dark-eyed stenographer's reVela-
tions of night life in the Reno di-
vorce colony dealt a blow to the
web of circumstantial evidence the
state built today around DR.. Carl
Pierre Andre, handsome young
West Virginia dentist, on trial
charged with Staying winsome Mrs.
Martha Hutchinson.
Called by the state as the other
woman" in the case, Mrs. Claire
Stott, 25, and a brunette. marked
herself as a star witness with testi-
mony of gay cocktail parties which
proved a boomerang to the prose-
cution.
Days and nights of drinking and
dancing at Reno, rendezvous of
divorce seekers, were described by
Mrs. Stott as she related events
preceding an automobile accident
last September 13 that claimed the
life of 20-year-old Mrs. Hutchinson,
daughter of a wealthy West Vir-
ginia coal operator.
The fatal accident, the state
promised to prove, was not an ac-
cident at all. In outlining his case
to the jury of II men, District At
torney Melvin Jepson said he
would contend the girl was thrown
from the speeding automobile
driven by Doctor Andre.
Doctor Andre and Mrs. Hutchin-
son, both of Fairmont, w. Va. had
been quarreling. Jepson declared.
To establish this he summoned
Mrs. Stott, with whom Doctor
Andre became enamored and then
lost interest in Mrs. Hutchinson.

Daddy Long Legs
Is Pleasing Play

A clean, wholesome, humorous
play we'll produced and excellently
acted.
That covers the ground in Daddy
Long Legs, which will be shown
for the last times tonight at Fox
Imperial Theatre.
Janet Gaynor was never any bet
ter than in her current play. In
fact it is the best one she has been
given in a long time, and her work
is helped by the real acting of
Warner Baxter, in the role of the
elderly and wealthy bachelor, in
love with the little orphan girl. Una
Merkel and John Arledge in juve-
nile roles, are also capable actors.
Young Kendall McComas, as the
hard-boiled little orphan, is a real
find and one wonders how the num-
erous other youngsters in the play
were able to perform SO eXcellently.
NO machine guns, no racketeeers,
no sex, no divorce, but plenty of
