administration, for the month Of
September. This sum, inadequate
for the month S needs has later
been increased.
Any additional ALLEGATION for the
month, or future ALLEGATIONS, his
telegram said, would depend on
what the board Of supervisors would
do to meet the situation. Branion
pointed out that the $4,000 allotted
for September brought Imperial
county s total allotment since April

spirit of cooperation which the na-
tional government had asked Of
California. Suggestions by some Of
the supervisors that the tax rate

for unemployment relief were dis
carded when it was pointed cut
that it might be possible TO borrow

Disappointment over failure of

POLICE HUNT
FOR SLAYERS
Of TWO MEN

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 80. UP)-A
large dark sedan containing four
New York gunmen was described
today by detectives as they pressed
search throughout the southwest
for the slayers of Harry Mackley
and Frank Keller, Alias Harris.
Detectives said the car furnished
the means of escape for three sleek
gunmen who shot down Mackley and
Keller as they dined in a fashion,
able Vermont Avenue cafe. A fourth
confederate remained at the wheel.
Announcing he would ask the dis
trict attorney for murder warrant
against them today, Joe Taylor,
chief of detectives identified the
suspected gunner as Morris Solo,
whisky, Charles "Chink' Sherman,
Henry Sherman and Jack Wins
tein. All, he said, are members of
a New York "mob' bent on av-
enging the recent murder of its
leader Morrie Moll, "Phantom
Gunman of Kansas City and New
York.
Splicing together the police rec
ords of the two victims, police learn
ed they we're henchmen of "WaXey -
Gordon, eastern beer ruler. Mackley
once an underling of Moll's, was
suspected of killing him. Fearful
of swift reprisal, Mackley set out
for Los Angeles, bringing Keller as
a bodyguard, detectives believed.
The announcement reputedly came
when they were trailed to the cafe
and riddled with revolver slugs as
they rose from the table in alarm.
Only a few hours later police
found the revolvers in a storm drain.
Not far away, they raided an apart
ment in answer to an anonymous
tip. They found the occupants had
left in extreme haste. Beyond that
the trail was lost.
Three women and a man were
leld in technical custody. One was
Mackley S divorced wife, Mrs. Sonia
Dresnick of Long Beach. The 9TH
er two women expressed surprise
that Mackley should have had their
telephone number Police learned

.LAMSON HOME
NOT TRANQUIL
Surprise Witness Tells Of Con-
versation Which He Had With
Accused Man.

SAN JOSE, Aug. 80. W.P - A
surprise witness today told of do
mestic difficulties and a pending
separation in the supposedly hap
py home of David A. Lamson,
Stanford intellectual on trial
charged with Staying his wife.
F. ]. Taylor, Los Angeles writer,
introduced the first direct prosecu-
ton testimony bearing on the al
legged murder motive.
When the state waived direct re-
examination of Undersheriff Earl
G. Hamilton, the crowded court
room set itself for surprise.
Prosecutor Allan P. Lindsay OBJ
tanned permission to present Tay-
lor, who described himself as a
friend of Lamson.
There was stunned silence as
Taylor answered questions put to
him by Lindsay.
@. When did you last see Lam
son?
A. About a week before Mrs.
LamSon'S death.
@. Have you held conversation
with Mr. Lamson about his per-
sonal affairs with his wife?
A. Yes.
@. Tell us what that conversa-
ton was.
A. Mr.. LamSon asked me if I
knew where Mrs Lamson could get
a job doing advertising work. She
wanted some work because she
wasn't happy at home he said. the
situation at home was such that
a complete separation would be
necessary and this would have to
reach a climax soon, he said He
didn't care exactly what did hap
pen, as nearly as I can remember
the conversation.
Taylor's story apparently caught
the defense momentarily unpre-
pared. Attorney Edwin M. Rea's
cross examination was brief.
Don't you know David Lamson
disliked you" Rea, chief of defense
counsel, asked.
Claims Friendship
mo, we were very friendly" Tay-
lor replied. He explained some OF
his writings had been handled by
The Stanford University Press OF
| which LamSon was sales manager
| The witness was replaced by
Hamilton, who told of bloodstains
he found in the Lamson bungalow
at Palo Alto last Memorial day
when Allene Thorpe Lamson was
found dead in the bathtub.
The writer's story recalled prose-
cution claims the Lamsons quarrel
ed, that jealousy marred their re-
lations, and that Allene Lamson
former Lamar, Mo-, girl may nave
resorted to deception to repulst
her husbands advances.
1t also served to recall the pres.
ence in the case of a Mrs. Sara
Kelley former Stanford coed EN-
ployed in an advertising role on {
Sacramento paper just before tht
death of Mrs. Lamson. Mrs. Kel.
ley was a friend of Lamson ano
asked his help in looking for job
according to her own story.
