Thurman Suit Bares Story
of Watson Agent Trickery
John Owens Posed as His
Friend, Worked to Aid
Springer, Is Claim.

M. Bert Thurman, once the
closest political advisor of Senator
James E. Watson, wants an &C
counting from John Owens, now
accredited as being the closest OF
the secret agents of Watson.
In suit filed today at Mobiles
vile, Thurman asks the court to
permit his agent, Josiah H. An
drews, to check books of the Owens
dairy company in which, Thurman
alleges, he was persuaded by Owens
to invest $500 in the days when
Owens was processing undying al
legiance to the Thurman for
Governor movement.
Thurman charges that Andrews,
equipped with power of attorney,
tried to ascertain financial condi-
ton of the company, that he pre-
sented himself during business
hours but Owens has refused to let
him discover what happened to the
$500 that was taken from him in the
deal.
Political Treachery Charged
While the formal complaint
merely recites the refusal of Owens
to permit an examination of the
books, behind the suit is another
story which Thurman relater as one
of outstanding political treachery.
Il bought $500 worth of stock in
Owens dairy because he said he
needed the money and professed to
be my friend" says Thurman. Il
had endorsed his notes for $4,000
and also notes for 5000 for money
he said he needed for taxes. Now he
refuses to let me know anything
about the affairs of the dairy.
I trusted Owens so far that
when, three days before the Repub-
hcan state convention, he came to
my office and asked for the privi-
Iege OF being my floor manager. I
welcomed his assistance.
He sat down with me. I knew
that he profesSed friendship for
Watson, and was at times, in con-
terence with him and had been a
very brief time before the conven-
ton. l saw no reason to suspect
his offer.
Worked for Springer, Is Claim
Il went so far as to outline all
the strategy that I had formulated
in order to advance my interests. I
gave him the lists of delegates who
had pledged themselves to me.
Il gave the names of those who.
I believed, might turn to me if
their first choice for the nomination
was withdrawn.
Owens took over the job of keep
ing my friends in line and of going
after the necessary support in the
event OF prolonged balloting.
The next day my real friends
warned me that Owens was acting
IN most mysterious manner for
one who had been named floor
manager. They reported he was
working for Springer, md using the
lists that I had given him."
Owens is reported to be the most
regular visitor to the headquarters
OF Watson on the occasion of the
senator's visits to indianapolis.

THERE may be two sides to every

three sides to your face. No doubt
you are familiar with the full-face re.
Election you usually see in your mirror.
But do you intimately know the right
profile-and the left? If you do, then
you know also that each differs rather

Strange burial customs Of the early
Christians were discovered by the Uni
versfty of Pennsylvania museum expe-
ditfon during it's third season Of ex-
cavation at Meydum, Egypt.
'sIn the vaulted chamber Of burial
Of the Christian period" report from
Alan Rowe, field director of the ex-
petition, said, "many Of the Christian
bodies were buried in very bright gar
ments and some Of them had small
pieces Of sheepskin piled over their
faces to height of almost 20 inches.
The significance of this custom Is not
known to u.s."
One of the most important discov-
cries of the excavators was lime
stone slab bearing the only known
contemporary portrait of King Sene-
feru to he found in Egypt. Seneferu
was an Egyptian ruler who lived al
most 5000 years ago and who was re-

flowers of the yucca and the cactus
aren't they promise to us?" She
laughed at herself, soft-eyed. "May-
be that seems silly to you. But it's
the way feel. Tonight, now. In all this
still moonlight the desert isn't threat
ening us, Is it?"
They were drawing up into a coun-
try of creased arroyos. On the crest
Of hillock they stopped and looked
back across the Painted desert. The
man was for moment carried out of
himself. Looking at this starry-eyed
girl, clean and innocent and rhythmic
in the freshness Of her youth, it
seemed possible to escape the Inherit
ance of his dark environment. There
was something in life deeper than hate
and selfshness and revenge if he could
only find it.
Down the wind came drumming the
sound of hoofs. The two listened in
silence. Each, sitting poised and alert
on their mounts, knew that several
horses with riders were moving rapidly
toward them. The fact had it's signifi-
canoe in a country where one might
travel day without meeting a human
being. Voices became clear, snatch
of laughter, an oath. Silhouetted
against the skyline, three COW ponies
moved along the ridge across the
arroyo.
Julia gave a little cry Of greeting,
lost in the clipclop Of the hoofs and
the chuffing of the saddle leather. She
