the body in the back seat of the car he
started for town when he suddenly
realized the seriousness of his position
he might not be able to convince the
authorities that it was an accident!
He was appalled,; seized with panic. he
decided to throw the body into a
nearby quarry which was partially filled
with water. This he did, but he said
worry had driven him to confess.
The professor listened attentively-he
knew Simmons account of the tragedy
was highly improbable. AS the two
had met no one else that morning he
knew the "confessor" had, no doubt,
murdered his friend-under entirely
different circumstances!
WHY DID THE PROFESSOR
BELIEVE so?

Reporting on the museum, Miss
Myfa Hazard. curator general and

not fill our cases with articles of no
beauty or historic value just because
they come down to us from the past,
she said I'VE must strive for rare
and lovely things"
Lacks Revere Silver.
As yet, the museum has no example
of Paul Revere silver, she reported.
The collection should, by all means,
she urged, have at least one of these
rare treaSurerS.
The report of the librarian general,
Mrs. Frank M. Dick, showed that from
a small beginning the library has grown
to be a real power in the organization.

chapter libraries.

Dick said, is the work Of the special

general wher librarian general, and
financed by contributions from the

EXPERIMENT TO
CURE DEAFNESS

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Is. UP
Experiments on a gray cat by four
Harvard scientists were said today
to have opened a new technique in
the treatment of deafness in hu-
mans.
Placing the cat unoer an anes-
thetic. the savants attached cleo
trodes from a radio amplifier to the
auditory nerve Of the brain.
Sounds and speech made into the
cats ear weer reproduced perfect
ly in the loud speaker as the cleo
trical impulses we're sent from the
ear to the central nervous system
of the cat.
The Harvard men said the ex-
perinents indicate that frequen-
cies below 500 are registered on the
human mind as on a telephone. The
accepted theory is that delicate sec
tions of the ear pick up vibrations
500 at time and send them to the
brain.
The experiments also showed, the
scientists said, that the ear is dual
organ.

POPULAR
ATTORNEYS To
JOIN FORCES

Friendly rivals in the law courts
of the county for the past seven
years Clarence B. Smith and Ken
dali B. Perkins announced this
morning that they have consolidat-
ed their forces and formed the law
partnership to be known as Smith
and Perkins, attorneys at law.
Offices of the new firm will be in
the Rehkopf building.
Clarence B. Smith, a graduate of
the University of South Dakota,
practiced law in Sioux Falls, South
Dakota, for a few months follow
ing his graduation and came to
Imperial Valley in January, 1924.
For two years he was a partner of
Elmer Heald in Brawley and when
the latter was elected district at
torney in 1926, Smith came with him
to Ell Centre as first deputy. He
remained in that position until
April 1881 when he resigned to be-
come a law partner of James W..
Glassford which partnership was
terminated by the death of Glass
ford about year ago.
Kendall B. Perkins, was gradu-
ated from the University of South
ern California in 1923. He prac-
Imperial Valley press., 1933-11-16

ticed law in Long Beach until 1925
in which year he came to Imperial
Valley locating in Ell Centro where
he was deputy under Ernest Ut
ley, then district attorney. In 1929
he was associated with Harry Hor-
ton in the practice of law and since
that time he has had his own
office. During this latter period he
served as city prosecutor and city
judge resigning this position two
years ago in order to devote all his
time to private practice.
Both these young attorneys, well
known and universally esteemed
throughout the valley are married
and have made their homes in Ell
Centro. Their wide circle of friends
will wish them the greatest sue
cess in their partnership.

and before the lone call for ransom
came to the Hart home from San
Francisco. Fear of detection was
aScribed tentatively as the reason
for the killing.
According to the purported con-
fesSion, Thurmond and his COM
panion then drove into San Fran
cisco, where a telephone call was
placed to the palatial Hart home.
They demanded $4,000 ransom.

not been recovered and dragging op-
erations were begun in the waters

a wife and two children, David, 6,
and Joyce, 5. Thurmond had lived
there for about year, it was said.
Meanwhile search was started by
authorities who were notified by
Hart that his son failed to appear
at the country club. The father,
mother, two debutante sisters and
q younger brother, were unable to
give any reason why Brooke should
voluntarily disappear The family
suspected kidnapping from the first.
The trail of young Hart never
left the vicinity of his home, the
tragic end determined; but author
tiles throughout northern Califor-
MIA and even to Los Angeles, were
beSieged by clews. Many persons
thought they saw the missing youth.
