ROBBERY TRIAL
IDENTIFY TRIO

Personal Identification. confess
sions to Tom Sharp. and introduc-
ton of stolen articles and three pis-
tolls. today built up step by step
the case by which the state of Cali
fornia hopes TO prove Edgar Sparks
and Carl and Noel Ozbirn guilty of
robbing p. J. Clark, proprietor of
the Weist store. last January 4.
Three men who were in the store
at the time IL was robbed this morn
ing identified the boys as the rob-
btrs who threatened them with
guns. taking the cash register, two
slot machines. some money and sew
eral packs Of cigarettes. and forcing
Clark TO ride with them four miles
from the store before letting him
cut.
Fred Thompson. defense attorney,
added humor TO the trial yesterday
afternoon when he produced a meg
aphone to cross-eXamine A. J.
Clark, also in the store at the time
of the robbery. Clark is hard OF
hearing.
This morning thompson decked
one witness, Toga Epperson, in u
cap and bandana handkerchief,
with only his c,es showing, and
asked him If that was the way one
of the robbers, whom Epperson had
identified as Sparks, was dressed.
Epperson said it was.
Cross-eXamination of Tom Sharp,
investigator for the district attor-
ney, this morning brought clash
of wits between the attorney and
the witness as Thompson tried to
find out what method Sharp USED
to obtain confessions from the three
boys.
Counsel Cautioned
Several Of Thompson's questions
bordered on oratory, until r. I.
French, deputy district attorney, OBJ
jected, and Judge A. c. Finney in
formed the defense counsel he will
have a chance to make speech to
the jury at the proper time.
Hazel Livingston, shorthand re-.
porter for the district attorney,
took the witness stand after Sharp,
to read the confessions she recorded
as Sharp questioned the boys.
Through the testimony of Lon
Cromer, Brawley police chief, three
pistols were introduced for identifi-
cation this morning, and the me-
chanical works of two slot machines,
a bag of money, several packs of
and a cash register were
into evidence.
Ffl-
lister were recovered from a canal
north of Brawley after the boys
told Sharp where they had thrown
them.
The state probably will complete
its case this afternoon, and the
jury of seven women and five men
may be called upon either late this
afternoon or tomorrow morning to
decide the guilt or innocence of the
accused.

STATE SCORES
IMPORTANTLY IN
INSURANCE CASE

Introduction into evidence Of
books which are a record of Class
a stock certificates in the Asso-
ciated Insurance Underwriters, Inc.
today gave the state victory iu
the Lewis Hart insurance trial. af-
ter several attempts to introduce
the record books had failed yestei-
day afternoon.
Judge Arthur l.. Mundo had suS-
tanned objections by defense attoi-
neyS, led by Ernest r. Utley, H. W
JudSon and Jacob Liederman, until
District Attorney Elmer w. Heald
and d. H. Wolford, his chief crimi-
nal deputy, today built up a thor
ough foundation for introduction OF
this evidence.
Wolford, commenting on the evil
dence after court adjourned at
noon today said it will give the state
a chance to bring out the testimony
of G. B. Flowers, accountant for
Through his testimony it may be
possible to trace several transac-
tionS in which the Glass A stock fig
ured.
Nine defendants on trial are
charged with grand theft, criminal
conspiracy and conspiracy to vio-
late the corporate securities act, in
asSertedly selling both Glass A and
Glass B stock in the underwriters
firm on the representation it was
stock in the Associated Life Insur-
ance company.
The books were introduced today
after H. Grimshaw, former secre-
tary of the holding company, exam
ined them. Defense attorneys con-
tended the books had been in
charge of an assistant secretary,
and so could not be introduced on
Grimshaw's word The district at
torney cited authority against this
contention.
Witnesses who had been on the
stand this morning included J. A.
Christy, Mack Worden, Ida Rogers
and Anna w. Strickler.
A large part of the testimony now
being presented by the state is of
a coTroborative nature.

District Officers
Refuse To Resign
Continued From Page II

dissatisfaction is caused by mis-
understanding and misstatement of
facts. District operation and main
tenance costs are and have been
going down, not up. This is the one
organization that has been engaged
in retrenching.
"MiSinformation is spread to in
flame the citizens. 1t is not i'm
portant who makes up the men,
hership of the board but what hap
pens TO the community is import
ant"
Mark Rose said the same enemies
are inciting the present dissatisfac-
ton along the line.
The people themselves voted 5l2
TO l in favor of the canal and de-
velopment. Not man on the COM
mittee was for the canal at any
time. If the committee had pre-
sented anything constructive to
solve the problems. I would be
glad to get off and let them do
what they can. The people OF my
division elected me and they are
going to get me off and name my
successor before I'll leave the office
they selected me to fill"
Dubois To Stick
President John L. Dubois, ex-
planned that he had been asked to
resign yesterday and had refused
because he thought such action on
his part would have been coWardly.
The district board is not respon-
sible for economic conditions" said
Dubois, and any member would
do anything poss<3le for the relief
OF the situation. This is a time
for every citizen to act sanely and
calmly. If the voters in my di-
vision want me to leave the board
they have the privilege of the re-
call. l would abide by their de-
cision. They elected me to the
board and I will stay until they
recall me-"
During the morning Sam Webb
said he was drafted TO serve on the
committee appointed at the mass
meeting but that he knew nothing

with the movement. He explained
that he attended a meeting yester-
day and since nothing constructive
was decided upon, had refused to

The committee OF Is met yester-
day at the Barbara Worth hotel
for an all day session at which
each member of the district board
was interviewed and an informal
discussion was held in regard TO
the action Of the mass meeting Sat-
