theater magnate, whom she shot

France, has elected to take

BY her action, the former Miss

the one-third income of the resi-
due of the $1,000,000- estate be-
queathed her in the will and
chooses to take the share which
she is entitled to under Pennsyl-
vania interstate laws.
Mrs. Nixon under the laws of
Pennsylvania may receive one
third of the entire estate out
right because of the fact there
are two children.
Thus, taking against" the will
means that she will receive 1888
in cash more than the principal
from which she would have de-
rived an income for life. Like
wise she will be entitled to marry
again, whereas if she had abided
to the terms of the will, she
would have had her income cut

again.

the mainland-Drs. Edward H.
Williams and Thomas j. Orbison
will be called by the defense in
an attempt to prove that Lieu
tenant MaSSie was morally if not
legally justified in killing Haha-
hawai-, prosecutor Kelley believes.
With a view to proving that
the shooting of the Hawaiian
was premeditated, and not the
result of momentary rage, the
prosecution announced that eight
more important witnesses will be

cumstantial evidence is woven
closer about the four Americans.

yesterday to establish the abduc-

Today's testimony will strongly
implicate all four of the Amer
