WINS JUNE

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. Jan. IL
GN.SD Her type of beauty too
fragile for the screen. Lady In
verclyde, the famous June" Of
the English stage, has abandoned
hope of a film career.
She will return to London and
plead with her husband for a di.
vorce, so she can marry Lothar
Mendes, she said today in an ex-
elusive interview. Mendes is a
German actor and director in
Hollywood and is the divorced
husband of Dorothy Mackaill, the
English girl who became an Amer
lean film star. Said Lady Inver.
clyde:
81 hope to arrange for a di-
vOrce when 1 get to London.
But I don't know if / can. Lord
Invercylde refuses to divorce
me. In England a wife can di.
vOrce her husband on only
three grounds - unfaithfulneSS,
deSertiOn or wife beating. He
has never given me any cause
to sue him on these grounds"
Lady Inverclyde has the unique
distinction OF being a divorce in
the United States and q married
woman in England. She OBJ
tained a divorce recently in Reno
from Lord Invercylde.

MURDER
CHARGE
Mrs. Fortescue, Son-in-LaW
and 2 Others to Face a
Hearing This Week

HONOLULU, T. H., Jan. IL
q Ms. The fate of the four
Americans charged with taking
the law into their own hands
in the killing of a native ac-
cnsed of attacking the beau
tifUl young wife of a naval
officer will be decided in
civil trial by a civilian jury.
This was announced today by
Montgomery Winn, attorney for
Mrs. Granville Fortescue, Wash
ington society woman; her SON
in-law, Lieut.. Thomas H. MaSSie,
U. S. NJ, whose wife had been
attacked by five natives; and
two enlisted men of the Navy,
E. j.. Lord and Albert S. Jones.
Winn admitted that he had
been unable to overcome the OBJ
iections Of County Attorney James
Gilliland to surrender to the Navy
the four> accused OF having shot
Joseph Kahahawai.
A 46-year-old judge Of Scotch
and Irish ancestry will probably
hear the case. He is Albert N.
Cristy, a graduate of Brown Col
lege at Providence, R. 1. Judge
CriSty, a short. wiry man, IS
known as stern juriSt.
Honolulu Quiet
That no attempt will be made
to seek a conviction Of the four
charged with killing Kahahawai
on first degree murder charges
was learned today by Internar
tional News Service. The city
attorneys office probably will ask
trial on a much lower charge.
The situation in H onolulu,
where beneath a surface Of out
ward calm seethed turmoil OF
bitter racial feeling, continued
quiet with territorial police vig1'
liant to prevent any open rlotlng.
At Scofield Barracks, % miles
from town, the regular Army
forces stood ready to take over
the situation should 1t become
necessary.
Winn confessed frankly that he
was afraid trouble would result
should Lieutenant Massie, Lord,
and Jones stand naval court mar
tial and be acquitted.
Sentiment Divided
Sentiment in Honolulu was
sharply divided. The natives and
those of mixed blood insisted, for
the most part. that Kahahawai
was innocent of the attack on
Mrs. MaSsie.
"They are murderdS. they
are murderers," natives were
heard to mutter about the
Americans.
Many members of the white
colony, however. pointed to the
fact that the attack on Mrs. Mas
sic occurred four months ago, and
although there was a trial Of five
men suspected of the crime, II
ended with a hung jury and j:-s-
tice was still unsatisfied.
Although high Navy officials
have consistently refused to COM
ment on the case, it was known
that feeling has run high in Off
cial circles over the persiStency

By Scripps-Hotodrd Newspaper Allidnce
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Un-
expected opposition to the federal
home loan discount bank bill which
has developed in senate subcom-
mittee hearings in the last few days
has made ii extremely doubtful
whether the bill will be reported in
its present form, and whether it

The opposition comes principally
from bankers, while building and
loan associations and trust COM
panies are, for the most part,
anxious that the measure be
enacted.
Briefly, the bankers charge that
passage Of the bill might quicken
the fight of capital from the real
estate field, that construction of
new homes might damage existing
real estate values, and that issuance
of new bonds might weaken credit
further.
Those who favor the bill urge that
banks and building and loan as
sociations with large numbers of real
estate loans are imperatively in
need of help with these frozen
assets.

James E. Watson Rep., Ind, as

JURORS COLDS
HOLD UP TRUNK
MURDER TRIAL
Ruth Judd'S Counsel win
Call AIieniSt to Back
Insanity Theory.
BY GEORGE II. A
United Press star Correspondent

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 28.-The
presentation Of WnJsie Ruth Judd's
defense to the charge she muir
dered Agnes Anne Leroi, her former
friend, was held up temporarily
today because of illness among the
jurors.
There was no certainty as to
when it might be rysun.SA, although
Judge Howard Speakman was to
call court to order at l p. m. to
determine if two jurors suffering
from colds we're able to resume
their places.
Judge Speakman minimized the
possibility of a mistrial, pointing
out both men probably would re-
cover quickly.
Insanity TO Be Claimed
The defense said that as soon as
the jury was complete again it
would read a few dispositions from
midwest towns and then begin in
earnest its attempt to prove that
if Mrs. Judd killed Mrs. Leroi and
her roommate, Hedvig Samuelson,
she was insane when she did it.
The present trial concerns only Mrs.
Leroi.
Most important alienist for the
defense will be DR.. Edward Hunt
ington Williams, Los Angeles, for
mer head of the state hospital for
the insane at Matteawan, N. Y.
He testified for the state of Cali
fornia against William Edward
Hickman when Hickman pleaded
insanity as a defense for the STAY
ing of Marion Parker.
State Stresses Jealousy
The defense consistently has
turned state witnesses to its side
in carrying out the contention Mrs.
Judd was insane.
Through croSs-examination of
Mrs. Judd's parents the state
brought out that Mrs. Judd was of
a jealous nature, supporting the
prosecution claim jealousy could
have been the motive in the slay-
ings.
Two state witnesses testified Mrs.
Judd was jealous of the attention
the two victims paid to j. j. Happy
Jack) Halloran, wealthy Arizona
sportsman.
