0er DIlQal costume.
Inside she felt all feverish. But her
hands were like ice. She gripped them
tightly-hysterically saying over and
what am ! doing She had asked her
self that question a thousand times
since the afternoon before when she
had promised to fly to Mexico and
marry Curt.
She scarcely realized what was going
on when the valet and another servant
put the bags in the plane. Curt had
told no one of his plans Mary's mind
was a turmoil of uncertainty and fear.
But she was no more filled with ter
ror than the man who was to become
her husband His face was flushed
feverish. and his head was splitting
with pain. Now that he had reached
the climax of his plan he was nearly
insane as the full force Of his wild
deed hit him.
It seemed like a mad nightmare.
This could not be the daughter Of DR..
Mansfield Sawyer beside him ready to
fly away to become his wife. He had
gone crazy, stark crazy. And what
was he going to do with this little girl
after he married her? How would he
set about to wreck her life SO that her
father would suffer as he had suffered?
Neither Of them realized that they
sat in adjacent seats gripping their
hands-scarcely breathing. while they
waited for the pilot to take on. Both
waited-silently.
It was Mary who saw Tommy first,
| framed in the doorway like q yellow
| haired giant. She opened her mouth
| to scream, but no sound came. All
power seemed to 60 from her body as
| she stared at his infamed eyes and
white face.
Curt turned to speak to her and his
| eyes caught sight of her terror-stricken
| face. Then he, too, saw Tommy. For
q moment he could not move. Tommy
seemed to reach him in one bound.
Mary closed her eyes in terror.
| She heard a noise of fists, and bodies
| striking seats, and knew the two men
were hghting-rushing sounds of con-
/ fused noises in her ears. Fulton Slater,
busy at the controls in the pilots cabin,
was quite unaware of the drama that
was taking place right behind his back.
Mary prayed that he would hear the
! noise before the ship took Of. When
| her voice came to her it was terrified
whisper.
Tommy" she opened her eyes
fearfully. "for Heavens sake, Tommy
don't kill him"
| She scarcely recognized the two men,
with their teeth barred. their clothes
/ torn and the perspiration streaming
down their faces. They were two even
ly matched giants, fighting to the death.
Tommy was the younger. But Curt
| had hardened his muscles with years
of training in the oil fields of Okla
| homa. Tommy was fighting for the
girl he loved. Curt in terror that his
| plan for revenge might be ruthlessly
| tern from him.
Mary closed her eyes again. She
wanted to get up and scream for Full
ton Slater, but she couldn't have moved
if her life had depended upon it. Then
she heard terrific Grassland silence.
Before she gathered courage to open
her eyes she felt herself being lifted
bodily from the seat In daze she
realized that she was in Tonmy's arms,
and when the air struck her face she
| knew he had carried her out of the
plane. She beat on his chest weakly
"Tommy-Tommy, let me CO. What
have you done?"

LAMSON IS ELATED
BY TURN IN TRIAL
Confident Innocence Will Be
Proved as Defense Opens
in Wife's Staying.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN JOSE, Calf, September A.
burrows Of worry were replaced by
smiles of confidence today as David
Lamson prepared to meet the States
charge that he beat to death his pretty
wife, Alene Thorpe Lamson.
I'm tickled; think the case Is al
ready won" said Lamson as he con-
ferred in his Jail cell with attorneys,
planning presentation of his defense at
the resumption of the murder trial
tomorrow
THE State showed I had no connec-
ton with the case" the defendant de-
clared.
Defendant Brightens.
Lamson. 31-year-old executive of the
Stanford University Press, frightened
visibly when the State abruptly rested
its case late yesterday and court ad-
journed over the holidays. His face
had become lined during the week in
which the prosecution. step by step.
built up the circumstantial evidence
against him.
He probably will take the witness
stand late next week to deny he knows
how his wife met her death. The State
sought to show that he grabbed the
hair OF Mrs. Lamson, attractive and
popular Y. w. c. A. secretary. jerked
her head down and crushed her skull
with short piece of iron pipe.
First the defense will make an ap-
peal to have the jury visit the flower
bedecked cottage on the Stanford Uni
versity campus. where Mrs. Lamson was
found lying in the tiny, blood-covered
bath room last Memorial day.
Will Insist Upon Step.
1T is our right and we will insist
upon it," declared Maurice Rankin of
Lamson's counsel. II understand the
State will vigorously protest. but we
deem it is essential to prove that Lam
son could not have killed his wife"
The State claims as a motive that the
marital life of the Lansons was un-
happy and brought a friend of Lamson
to the stand to testify the defendant,
three weeks before her death, had de-
clared Mrs. Lamson would mot be
happy until there had been complete
separation
Then several Sacramento, Calf, resi-
dents testified to having seen Lamson
in company with Mrs Sara NJ Kelley,
Sacramento divorce, on numerous oc-
casions.
Woman to Be Recalled.
An attempt to discount the "other
woman" angle will occupy the defense
almost from the start Carroll Ray,
sister of Eldridge Ray, State Highway
Department employe, who testified for
the State he had seen Lamson visit
Mrs. Kelley, will be called.
Miss Ray was staying with her
brother at the time the State says
Lamson left Stanford to go to SacraI
mento on his numerous visits. but she
slept in Mrs. Kelley's apartment, ad-
joining that of the Rays.
Also included among the early wit
nesses will be Mrs. Kelley. who calls
herself the dizzy blond in this case"
and who said there was nothing but
business relationship between her and
Lamson. They we're working on an ad-
vertising venture together, she has said.
| which necessitated the defendant COM
ing to Sacramento frequently.

able Year

Taxpayers should note that under
the revenue act of 1892 the credit FOR
dependents as well as the personal ex-
emption Is required to be prorated
where change Of status occurs dur
ing the taxable year. A fractional
part OF q month Is to be disreqarded
unless 1t amounts to more than half
q month, In which case it Is considered
q month.
For example, a single man and a
single woman who were married on
July 20, 1882, and were living together
on the last day of the taxable wear
may file a joint return and would be
entitled to q personal exemption of
S2.2o8.S4, which is TIA Of $1,000 for
the husband while single, plus 7-l2 Of
$1,000 for the wife while single. plns
5-12 Of s2,500 for the period during
which they were married. II separate

personal exemption Of $1,10417, which
Is TIA of $1,000, plus "a of 5-I2 of
$500. If during the year 1882 the
husband or the wife had the status of
the head of a family prior to their
marriage, he or she would be entitled
to his or her pro rata share of the per-
sonal exemption Of $2.500 allowed the
head Of family for the period prior
to their marriage instead of merely that
allowed single person. However, for
the period of their marriage any ex-
emption to which either might be en-
titled as the head Of a family would
be merged in the joint personal ex-
emption for that period. The joint
personal exemption allowable In the
case of couple who were married
and living together during the entire
year may not exceed $2,500.
II child under ia vear. -

port reaches the age Of 1s years dur
ing the taxable year, the credit of
s4Oo Tor dependent is required to be
prorated IN the same manner as the

should the child's eighteenth birthday
fall on June 80. the parent would be
entitled to claim 5000 cre1.... Tor the

From Him In Estate.

A petition asking that Edward D.
former publisher Of the WASH
inston Post, be required to show cause
why he should not be removed from
his remaining trusteeship IN the Nc
Lean estate was on fle today in Dis
txict Supreme Court.
Justice Jennings Bailey last year re
moved Mclean as trustee In all matters
pertaining to the operation Of the Post.
The American Security g. Trust Co..

him all remaining authority in the
handling of his fathers estate.
Corcoran Thorn. president Of the
trust company, stated In the petition
that he recently had written Mclean
asking him to resign as co-trustee II
he was unable or did not intend to re-
turn to this country to participate In
the management Of the estate. Mclean
mas been in Paris for some time.
Replies by Radiogram.
To this letter, Mclean replied BY
radlogram on January 81:
In any case I would be oblieed to
see you personally regarding your let
ter. Hope this will be soon"
Inc letter read, In part, as follows:
II, because of illness, YOU are un-
able to perform the duties of a trustee
or because of litigation pending here
70 which you are party, you are un.
able to Immediately return to this city.
then, In our opinion, you should
promptly resign your trusteeship so
tnat all the matters relating to the
estate may be handled without further
aeiay ana the estate may not suffer by
Your continued absence"
The petition said the Post company
LIS now indebted to the banking depart
ment OF the American Security Sx Trust
Co. TO the extent OF $165, 900 on prom
Ssory notes. This money was ad-
vanced to meet operating expenses of
tne paper, but the bank, 1t was said,
mas been advised not to continue max.
ing such advances.
Inc petition also said that on No.
vember 9, 1882, the trust company paid
a bill for S3,238 for medical expenses
incurred by Mclean In Paris. Although
tnere was no accrued income from the
estate for this purpose, the PAYMENT
was made after his estranged wife. Mrs.
Evalyn Walsh Mclean, agreed to slb-
ordinate her claim on income, and with
the understanding that the trust corn
pany would. be repaid out of future
earnings.
Efforts to Sell Paper Cited.
It was also stated that the other
assets of the estate, including the Gin
clnnau Enquirer. have suffered consid.
cradle losses as result Of the depres.

Quirer recently built q 14-story office
ouiiding, but has not been successful in

various attempts to sell the Post. which.
It was said, were blocked by Mclean
Efforts are still being made, the petit
ton said, to sell the paper. but efforts
to find purchaser have been unsuc-
cessful. The petition asked the court
for instructions regarding the sale or
other disposition Of the Post By the
trustees.

ond offense within three months, fol-

sion were broadened greatly and If ap-
plicable, foreign newspapers or periodi-
Gals could be prohibited for as long a.

Government Unsettled.
The Prussian government had been
leading q precarious existeifce since
July 20, 1882, when Baron Won Papen,
then chancellor, had the President ap-
point him commissioner for Prussia. In
October the Supreme Court decided the
government of Premier Braun and Min
lister Of the Interior Karl Severing
should represent "the sovereignty" of
Prussia.
The Presidents decree said further:
II therefore, until further notice, trans
fer to the Reich's commissioner for
Prussia and his representatives, the
power conceded by the above verdict
to the Prussian state ministry"
The decree Is based on article 48 of
the federal constitution
With the Presidents decree went an
official explanation stating that the
verdict of the Supreme Court failed to
provide for establishing orderly condi-
tions in Prussia, but on the contrary
established two governments-that OF
the elected officials and that Of the
appointed federal commissioners.
President Given Power.
The Supreme Court ruled, however
that If the State government con-
as to constitute neglect of its duties
toward the nation, then on the basis
of article 48, the so-called dictator
ship clause" of the constitution, "the
President could interfere with the
rights of the Prussian state
The official explanation pointed out
that both the diet president and the
premier, as members of the "trium-
virate," failed either to establish reg
ular government in Prussia or to vote
the diet out of existence, although all
parties agreed the political confusion
was unbearable.
Hence, the government contends, the
Pr.4ssian government was derelict in
its duty and it became incumbent upon
the federal authorities to intervene
and re-establish order.
