BY recommending leniency for
Mrs. Judd, the grand jury placed
the issue squarely before the state
board of pardons and paroles,
which supersedes the governor in
authority in this state.
The grand jurors revealed they
believed Mrs, Judd when she ap-
peared before them three days ago
and reputedly told the whole
story" of how she killed her two
friends after a jealous quarrel over
Halloran's affections.

PLAN PROGRAM
FOR START OF
POST OFFICE

With the arrival of Geo. Hallett,
construction engineer of the Union
Engineering Company, which was
awarded the contract for the new
federal building in Ell Centro, plans
are being made by Postmaster c.
c. Jenkins, the Ell Centre Cham
ber of Commerce and the Ameri-
can Legion for a ground-breaking
celebration on the occasion OF the
turning of the first dirt.
Congressman Phil D. Swing will
not be able to leave Washington as
congress is in session but an invi-
tation has been extended to Con-
gressman-elect George Burnham to
attend this celebration and the af-
fair will be in the nature of re-
ception to Congressman and Mrs.
Burnham, both of whom are very
popular in Imperial Valley. 1t is
expected that all the people of I'm
perial Valley will gather on this
occasion, in the early part of jan
uary, to greet the new representa-
tive in congress.
I'VE were gratified,' said Robert
Hays, manager of the local cham
ber of commerce, when Superin-
tendent Hallett informed us that
local labor will be used by the
Union Engineering company as far
as possible. Only one other man
will be brought down for the job,
others will be hired workmen. Eli
gible lists in the city engineers Of
flee and the U. S. Employment SER
vice will be drawn on. Also, as far
as possible, the company will urge
sub-contractors to employ local Ia
Dor, according to j. K. Thomas, pre-
sident of the Union Engineering
organization"
According to Hays this company
has just finished construction OF
S1,500,000 post office for Salt
Lake City and is now erecting q
post office building at Gallup, New
Mexico. The personnel of the or
ganization has had wide expert
ence in the erection of government
tai buildings and has always en-
deavored to use local labor and ben
eft the individual community as
much as possible in their construc-
tion contracts.
The organizations sponsoring the
ground-breaking celebration of the
Ell Centro federal building state it
will be the most important pub
lie affair since the ground was bro
ken for the court house. A plat
form will be erected for speakers
and impressive dedicatory services
are planned. Chamber directors
state the beginning of work on
this building will mark new epoch
in local constitution work and will
stimulate building in Imperial VAL
ley with the result that the year
1888 will probably be a record year
for building activity in this COM
munity.

MOTHER AGAIN
DISAPPOINTED

TAUNTON, Mass, Dec. 81. U.P>
Mrs. Clarence E. Smith has suf-
fered a third bitter disappointment
in her 13-year search for her son.
Russell, kidnapped April IL, 1919,
when four years old.
A mystic appearing in a vaude-
vile act, at a Providence theatre
announced that Mrs. Smiths son
would be found attending Univer-
sity of Southern California. Los
Angeles police and school authori-
ties, with Identification marks fur
nished by the mother, made an ex-
hauStive investigation only to re-
port that no one answering his
description was in the student body.
Mrs. Smiths first disappointment
came in 1922, when a clue led her
to La Grange, Me. There she found
an eight-year- lad, who was
abandoned by a gypsy tribe, and so
certain was she that it was Russell
that she took him home. But a
gypsy arrested in connection with
the case and tried on a kidnapping
charge proved conclusively that the
abandoned boy was his own, borne
him by a Woonsocket girl.
A second false clue took Mrs,
Smith to Chicago in 1924. She ten
tatively identified a l0-year-old
waif as her lost son and took him
home. But two months later. he,
too, was positively identified as the
son of another.
Russell Everett Smith was play
ng near his home when last seen
by his mother. A band of gypsies
was encamped near here at the
time and it was believed they had
kidnapped the lad.

Fer the Imperial county sher-

ending today, not in a blaze OF
glory, but in one Of the 3quietest
periods of many months.
Report sheets at both the sher-

this morning and last night were
entirely innocent of any crime rec
ord, or, for that matter, any rec
ord Of any kind.
Neither county nor city officers
last night or yesterday afternoon
made any arrest.
Cynical natures led the officers
to believe that the New Year will
be ushered in with at least a slight
