Darrow Makes Impassion- ed Plea Kelley Makes
 Last Arguments

HONOLULU, H. l., April 28.-The jury in the "honor staying" case is still locked up.
 Judge Charles S. Davis rul- led the jury could find the de- fendants guilty of second de- gree murder, manslaughter, or not guilty. The jury could find Lieut.. Thomas H. Mas sic only not guilty by reason of insanity. Separate verdicts were ordered.
 The jury was instructed that the burden of proof was on the prosecution to show Lieut.. Massie was sane.
 No man can take the law into his own hands. The fact that the deceased ravish- ed the wife of one of the defendants cannot be consid- cred" warned Judge Davis.
 Brings Out Tears
 Clarence Darrow, veteran criminal and defense attor- ney, pleaded for the Golden Rule in his final three hour address. In reviewing the attack on Mrs. Massie, he brought tears to the eyes of his listeners. He said the de- fendants would sanctify any prison they would be sent to. When people come to your beautiful isle, the first place they want to see is the peni- tentiary,' said Darrow.
 Prosecutors Plea
 Prosecutor John c. Kelley, in his final plea, said:
 "Is there to be one law for the people here and one for visitors? If you let these people go h y will make Massie an Admiral because he and A d m iral Pratt think alike. They both believe in lynch law. In the language of Smedley D. Butler I say, to hell with the Admirals."

Birds Aid Crops

DRDS played strange roles in typical 20

the birds played was in early Spring when .
flight Of geese fed on the young rye in an 500
acre tract and brought about what farmers
thought was irreparable damage to the cyop.
As matters turned out, however, the birds
did no damage and possibly the pruning process
of their feeding may have been stimulant to
the plants, for the rye at harvest time stands
shoulder high and Is in excellent shape
However, having reached this state, the
grain was attacked by an enemy which threat
ened the entire crop. A great infestation of

complete loss through the activities of thas
voracious feeder. Again the birds stepped IN,
or perhaps It would be better to say few n.
to the rescue.

Investigator Says Secretary
to President "BaWIed
Him Out" on Phone

John Marrinan, one-time Sec
retary to Herbert Hoover, then
Commerce Department head,
today awaited the arrival of
Lawrence Richey, of President
Hoover secretariat, to carry
out his alleged threat to punch
him in the nose.
Marrinan, in a statement issued
last night, charged that Richey,
a close friend Of Hoover, threat
ened to punch me in the nose
because I had urged the election
Of Franklin Roosevelt"
Reports Phone Call
Mr.. Marrinan, who is now at
tached to the staff of the Senate
committee investigating stock
market transactions, said Secre-
tary Richey called him over the
telephone Sunday night, used vile
and abusive language, and refused
to be cooled down when Marrinan
attempted to pacify him.
At the White House, Secretary
Richey was silent concerning the
Marrinan allegations, remarking
merely:
81 have nothing to say for
publication"
It happened like this, according
to Marrinan:
"Richey called me on the teIe-
phone Sunday night and said
he would punch my nose and
break me in two for my state
ment urging election Of Gov
ernOr Roosevelt. / told him to
60 ahead, but I haven't seen
him yet. Richey made lot of
other threats and his language
vas so vile it would not be
printable.
ONCE WORKED TOGETHER
"The trouble with these peO-
pie down at the White House is
that they do not credit anyone
with honest opinions. They
think that their Interior motives
impeI the actions Of their Op-
pOnentS. tried to cool Down
Richey, but it did no good"
Marrinan said he had written
A. F. Whitney, of Cleveland, pres
ident of the Brotherhood OF Rail
way Trainmen, about the Ricney
incident. Four years ago, he said,
Whitney lined up railroad work
ers for Hoover but is now sup
porting Roosevelt.
Marrinan and Richey, some
years ago, it was explained, were
both under Hoover in the Depart
ment of Commerce.
