SAN JOSE, Cal, Aug. 18.-Sel- dom has a murder trial aroused such interest as that which pre- vails here as the date of the trial of David A. Lamson approaches. Rarely, too,, has the sordid busi- ness of murder been enacted in such a setting as that which serv- ed as d stage for the Lamson mys- tery-Stanford University campus which fact, coupled with the so- cial standing of the accused man, is responsible for most of the in- terest in the case.
 Circumstantial Evidence
 Lamson, 30-year- -old sales man. ager of the Stanford University Press, was taken into custody fol- lowing the discovery of the body of his beautiful young wife, AL lene, in the bathtub of her home on the University campus, only few blocks from the home of former President Hoover; last Me morial Day.
 Investigations by the authorities disclosed. that Mrs. Lamson had been slain by a blow on the head with heavy instrument and her dead body placed in the tub. In the husbands bedroom police came upon suit of pajamas and a bath robe, identified as Lam- sons. These garments bore stains, which resultant analysis proved to be made by blood A further search among the ashes of fire Lamson had started in the garden yielded a 10-inch length of iron pipe. Stains on this piece of pipe were analysed by police chemist and pronounced to have beer caused by human blood. With such array of facts against him, Lam- sons protests of innocence availed him nothing. He was arraigned and charged with wife murder.
 Disclosures Promised
 It is the states contention that the Lamsons had had marital difficulties for some time previous to the staying and the prosecu- tion promises to present ample evidence to support this assertion. On the other hand, prominent campus neighbors of the Lamsons

Dr. Charles E. Farr, who, by the way, is professor of Surgery at the Cornell University Medical School in New York City, and Clinical director of Surgery at the thirty million dollar St. Mary's Hospital for Children in the same city, believes that the Alaska Ter ritorial Museum should be expand ed
 Also, that outside expeditions should be permitted to take out of the territory relics of the old Indians which are found, is wrong according to his belief.
 Dr. Farr favors plan of per hitting these expeditions to take only part of their finds else where and keeping the lions share in Alaska, where they are a part of the tradition of the country
 Cites Instances
 Nobody is allowed to take the relics of the old Egyptians out

are emphatic in declaring that the Lamsons lived happily-in fact that the accused man was the per- feet husband who continued to be lover even after marriage. These friends scoff at rumors of infi- delity either on the part of MT. or Mrs. Lamson.
 One of the most important wit nesses whom the state will call is Miss Dolores Roberts, who was a maid in the Lamson household.
 Ghost of the Past
 One of the facts dug up by the prosecution in it's hunt for evil dence is that Lamson was held on a staying charge once before. When he was a youth, Lamson shot another boy to death while vacationing on the ranch of his father, A. E. Lamson, at Prairie Grange, Alberta, Canada. Although formally charged with manslaugh- ter on that occasion, Canadian authorities decided the shooting was accidental.
 Before Tragedy
 Lamson is a Stanford graduate, It was at the University that he met his wife, the former Allene Thorpe, daughter of Frank M Thorpe, wealthy wire manufactur- CT, of Lamar, Mo. They were married in 1928 at brilliant so- ciety wedding in Stanford Me morial Church, attended by Dr Ray Lyman Wilbur, President of the University and member of the Hoover Cabinet.
 Before the birth of her baby in l930, Mrs. Lamson was execu- tive secretary of the Stanford Y. w. c. A. She continued in this post after the baby was born.
 Lamson will be defended at his trial, scheduled for August 21, by former Congressman Arthur M. Free, who threatened on his clients arrest that he would file a malicious prosecution suit against whomsoever signed the charge.

LEXANDER ON BENCH AND HAS
 FIRST HEARING
LeFevre Administers Oath of Office Judge Be-
 gins Work at Once

In the presence of the members of the Juneau Bar Association, Court and other Federal and Ter ritorial officials, George F. Alex ander, for many years a prominent attorney of Portland, Ore, and active in Democratic political af- fairs in that State for long time, , was inducted into office at 10 am, today as United States District Judge of the First Division, suc- ceeding Judge Justin w. Harding who has occupied that office for the past four and one-half years.
 The oath of office was administ- cred by Judge H. B. LeFevre, Presl- dent of the Juneau Bar Assocla- tion, former United States Com- missioner here, and pioneer lawyer of this city. AS soon as he had affixed his signature to the oath and other documents of office, the new jurist went to work.
 His first judicial action was to set free George s. Hall, 72-year -old truck gardener of Haines on a writ of habeas corpus, who was brought 3 here early this week to serve a three month jail sentence imposed . by United States Commissioner E.. E. Trimmer of the Lynn Canal com munity.
 Hall was arrested on August Il on a warrant issued by Judge zim- mer, tried before him without jury and convicted of destruction of personal property, for the all leged shooting of four cows. He was tried under section 1885 of the Alaska code which fixes the maximum penalty at two years in a Federal Penitentiary; thus mak- ing felonious crimes committed under it.
 Attorney Frank H. Foster, who petitioned on behalf of Hall for the writ, pointed out that the Commissioner was without author ity in law to try cases and pass sentences under such circumstances, and declared that his client was being unlawfully held in jail. The motion for the writ was not re- sisted by United States Attorney w. A. Holzheimer who said the pe- tition was proper and recommended the writ be granted. He said ne was not familiar with the facts .y regarding the alleged act imputed to Hall but that the matter would be investigated
 Judge Alexander Immediately granted the petition and issued the writ, directing that Hall be released from custody immediately. He Will be returned to Haines by the Gov ernment.
 Judge Alexander was the honor guest of the Bar Association today at it's regular weekly meeting at . Bailey's Cafe. It was attended by every member who was in town.

COUNCIL SEEKING
RURAL LOCATIONS
Social Agencies of District Want
Farms for Use of Families in
Need of Aid.

With eight families placed on farms
within the past few weeks through its
affiliated organizations, the Council of
Social Agencies is seeking rural loca-
tions for other families. The council
is cooperating in this plan with the
Associated Charities, the Catholic
Charities and the Emergency Relief
Division of the Board of Public We'll
fare.
Under a recent ruling, the Emer-
gency Relief Division is permitted to
finance families who will return to
farms for a certain period of time, en-
abling them to put in a crop This
rule was made due to the feeling that
it would probably cost less to finance
family of five on farm where rent is
free than to keep them unemployed in
the city.
Miss Mary Edith Coulson, secretary
of the Family Welfare Committee of
the council, has been instrumental in
obtaining the eight farms already in
use. rent free, and tenants have been
furnished by the Associated Charities
and Catholic Charities. There are a
large number of small farms near
Washington and the plan Is to obtain
free rent for tenant families in return
for repairs and other work by the
tenant.
