JUDD INSANITY
PLEA ATTACKED
BY PROSECUTION
Alienist UndergOes Stiff
CrOss-ExaminatiOn By
Defense Attorney.

COURTROOM, PHOENIX, Ariz.,
Feb. 3. U.P>-The state continued
today to try to batter down the
insanity defense of Winnie Ruth
Judd as evidence neared a conclu E
sion in her trial on the charge she
murdered Agnes Anne lie Roi, a
nurse.
DR.. Paul Bowers, Los Angeles
psychiatrist who testified yesterday
that he believed Mrs. Judd sane
and that Mrs. Judd told him OF
asserted intimacies with a wealthy
Arizona sportsman, returned to the
stand this morning.
He told the court that he knew
grown women who fooled around
with French dolls" and still were
sane, an attempt to break the force
of defense testimony which i'll
sisted that a mother complex
was a symptom of Mrs. Judds in
sanity.
Doctor Bowers was one of the
few rebuttal witnesses the state
planned to put on the stand. The
case is expected to reach the jury
tomorrow night, with final argu-
ments occupying tomorrow's ses-
Sions.
Doctor Bowers was on the stand
through the entire morning ses-
sion, undergoing severe ana
critical cross ss-examination by Paul
Schenck, chief of defense counsel.
Schenck made the point several
times that observation Doctor
Bowers used to support his in
sistance that the defendant ives
sane might just as we'll be used to
support the defense contention OF
insanity.
Judge Howard Speakman was
obviously irritated by the tedious
and highly technical cross
examination and repeatedly broke
in to demand that the discussion
be kept to the subject and that
greater speed be shown.

The secretary replied, after con-
Sulting the judge: I'm sorry
cannot answer that. The judge
does not want to talk about the
case at all
Justice Cotillo restrained fur
ther publication of the book on
December 16 on an application by
James j. O'Brien who claimed the
material was pirated from him.
The papers revealed the books
publisher. William Faro formerly
was known as Samuel Roth.
Justice Cotillo criticized him i'll
his order barring sale of the book
as irresponsible" The judge
pointed out that he was not un-
mindful of the paramount con-
sideration of the freedom of the
press" but pointed out that he
had mo sympathy with the pur-
pose Of a publication which is
designed with no other aim than
to diScredit the work of a public
official and to impair his present
usefulness in these trying times
in the important task in which he
is engaged" at a time when he
sis virtually powerless to defend
himself"
Justice Cotillo called the publi-
cation of the book unfair, un-
sportSmanlike" and detrimental
to the public interest

NEW YORK, Jan. %. UP>-1n
spite of many attempts to put the
book, Herbert Hoover-Under Two
Flags" on the market, the order
barring it's further sale still stands,
Supreme Court Justice Gothic said
today.
The jurist pointed out that the
only way the order could be va
Gated would be on appeal over his
head and so far that has not been
done.
Meanwhile, William Faro, the
books publisher, continued to Of
fer the book for sale and adver-
tised that the ban against it had
been vacated by Supreme Court
Justice Lydon in the same court.
Faro said Judge Lydon had gone
over Judge Cotillo's head and is
sued an order vacating the tempo
rary injunction but that an appli-
cation for a permanent restrain"
ing order barring the book was
still in court and would be de-
cided in March. Meanwhile, sale
of the book is being rushed, he
said.
Judge Lydon would not talk
about the case but sent his secre-
tary who said: "The judge does
not want to discuss that case

Says Prescriptions
Mostly Bootleg

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. (U.P)-Dr,
Arthur Dean Bevan, professor OF
surgery at Chicago University, as
serted before a senate sub-commit-
tee today that 80 per cent of liquor
prescriptions written by American
physicians are "bootlegging pre-
scriptions.'
Bevan was testifying before the
Metcalf committee. which is now
hearing opponents of the Bingham
four per cent beer bill.
He told Senator Hatfield (Rep0
West Virginia, that the attitude OF
the medical professions, which sup
ported prohibition during the war,
had changed to some extent be-
cause "a large number of doctors
have not been able to resist the
temptation to sell their prescrip-
tions." They are allowed 400 a
year each.

FALLS PAROLE
IS REFUSED BY
FEDERAL BOARD

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. U.pl =
Albert B. Fall must remain in
prison Sc more days.
The former secretary of the in
terror, sentenced to a year and a
day in prison for his part in the
oil lease scandal, today was denied
parole. The United States parole
board, in refusing to free him until
he had completed his sentence, said
apply to case involving 80 grave
an offense committed against the
government and civilization"
Fall was specifically convicted Of
accepting 100000 bribe from
Edward l.. Doheny in connection
with the lease to Doheny of the
Elk Hills naval all reserve.
The boards statement said, in
part:
Going back 1873 years in the
history of this nation, it is related
that upon one previous occasion a
cabinet minister has been charged
with crme. Fall was the first to
be convicted. In the courts of the
United States he was found guilty
of betraying that trust. Years later
he was called upon to pay the
penalty for a very grave crime.
PITY is advanced on grounds for
taking action which would virtually
set aside the verdict of the jury
and the judgment of the court.
Corruption of public trust in high
places, acts akin to treason, and
affecting the entire nation cannot
be tolerated or condoned.'

ROOSEVELT NOT
FAVORABLE To
JOINING LEAGUE.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 3. (U.H -
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt has
Joined the ranks of those who op-
pose both American membership in
the League of Nations and cancella-
ton of World war debts.
The New York governor, who
heretofore has said he was too busy
with state affairs to concern him
self with national and international
affairs. offered his declaration on
the league and war debts in an
address before New York state
farmers members of the New York
state Grange.
His action followed by a few days
the declaration by Newton D. Ba-
ker. secretary of war in the Wood
row Wilson cabinet in which Roose-
welt was an under secretary of the
navy, that he did not favor Ameri-
can membership in the league un-
til sentiment was "convincingly'
for it.
There were two important differ
ences in the statements of the two
Democratic possibilities as presi-
Dental candidates on the subject.
Baker announced he was not a
candidate. Roosevelt had given
Democrats of North Dakota permis-
sion to enter him in the state pri-
mary
Baker opposed American member
ship until public sentiment in this
country overwhelmingly favored
such membership. Roosevelt op-
posed membership because the
league "is not the league conceived
by Woodrow Wilson" but has be-
come an organization for little more
than political discussions"
Roosevelt offered no apology for
his support of the league in 1920
when he was presidential can
didate on the ticket with James

DISTRICT SEEKS
SETTLEMENT IN
RANCH DAMAGE

Attempts to reach a fair and
sensible solution of the problems
caused by the lifting of the water
level in the vicinity of Salton sea
were made by members of the I'M
perial Irrigation district board this
morning when Mrs. Clara &.
Reeves suggested trading her
water damaged ranch for land IN
another section of the valley.
In considering the Reeves prob
lem it developed that land values
were to enter into the handling OF
the situation. 1t therefore was
unanimously decided that the dis
trict should appoint one unbiased
appraiser and Mrs. Reeves an ap-
praiser, the two to appraise the
land in question and determine
whether or not the trade Would
be fair from the standpoint OF the
landowner and the district. II the
two appraisers could not agree
thev we're to select another ap-
praiser to assist them.
This action, it was explained by
board members, will be taken as
means of determining what must
be done in the Salton sea area.
THE district does not want land
as a rule said Director w. o.
Blair, but we do want that land
around Salton sea-
After the reading of the courts
decision in the c. w. Brockmaii
attempt to obtain an order pre-
venting the holding Of a recall
election against him, February IL,
there was silence for moment be-
fore Brockman said:

went against me. Otherwise l
would have had to re-write the

would have been too much work,
