Discovering Wife's Nude

SAN JOSE, Calf, September 7.-Still
exposed to the fire of prosecution ques-
tions. David A. Lamson was under call
to continue his testimony today in his
trial on charges of numbering his at
tractive wife, Allene, with length OF
iron pipe.
Overcome once by emotion on the
stand yesterday as he told Of finding
the nude body Of his wife in the blood
spattered bath room of their Stanford
University campus home last May 80,
Iamson regained and held his COM
posure while States attorneys blasted
away at his professions of innocence.
Repeatedly Deputy District Attorney
Allan p. Lindsay called upon him to tell
chat happened in the bath room and
what went on Just before and immedi-
ately after the tragedy became known.
Thrice he related his version Of what
took place when he found the body, but
many times his answer to specific ques-
tions was II don't remember"
Defense attorneys had sought to lay
the groundwork for possible conten-
ton Mrs. Lamson's death was the re-
suit of an accidental fall.
Argue Over Iron Pipe.
Defense Attorney E.. M. Rea and
Lindsay during cross-examination yes
terday engaged in a legal argument
over the questioning Of Lamson about
an iron pipe which officers had taken
from a bonfire Lamson had been at
tending the day Of the tragedy.
Lamson testified he had not seen the
short length of pipe, which the State al
legged was used as the death weapon, in
the bonfire, but acknowledged his ia
miliarity with longer piece Of pipe
from which the prosecution contends
the shorter one was cut.
The five women and five men jurors
examined the pipe to see If the ends
matched.
The clothes that Lamson wore the
night before the tragedy were brought
out by the prosecutor. Lamson had
testified he had hung them IN the bath
room several hours before the tragedy.
Lindsay pointed to blood spot on them
and asked LamSPn to explain it. The
defendant said Ne could not tell how
the spot got thffe.. Here he told q de-
tailed story Of finding his wife's un-
clothed body n the blood-splotched

the witness answered.
Then what happened"

and went entirely into the tub"
What did you do?"
"Tried to lift her. and couldn't"
"How much do you weigh?"
About $50 pounds"
How much did Allene weigh?"
about lis pounds"
An apparent attempt by the defense
to set forth the accident theory was
made when 1t drew testimony from Mrs.
Olive Lewis. Hollywood assistant ma
Delta Sorority, that her father. q
school principal, had fallen in Los
Angeles 10 years ago and received four
skull fractures. There were four frac-
lures in Mrs. Lamson's skull and
previous witnesses had testified they
could have been caused by fall.
Prosecution objection to this testi-
mony was sustained.
Breaks Into Sobs.
Beginning with the night before,
when he said Mrs. Lamson was suffer-
ing from indigestion, he gave . chron-
illogical story Of the fateful morning,
breaking into sobs rs he told Of find-
ing the body.
At the climax Of his story, his attor-
>ney asked:

did ever marry her?'"

Regulation of Quantity
Production.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
BURLINGTON. Iowa. January 10
Plans were announced last night for or
ganized backing of the Francis J. Clair
PLAN for stabilization of farm prices in
lieu of the domestic allotment bill now
before Congress.
c. W. Bond, secretary of the Burling-
ton Chamber of Commerce. said he had
the tentative support of business men
and farm leaders in Sioux City. Des
Moines, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids and
several Eastern Iowa cities.
The Clair plan calls for price stahili-
zation through regulation of the guam
tity OF basic farm commodities-wheat,
corn and cotton-marketed for domestic
consumption. Surpluses would be used
up on the farm of the grower, or dis
posed OF for export only, under Federal
supervision
Clair, New York cost production
engineer, presented his plan at meet
ing of 500 farmers and business men
here December Is.
commodity annually, and allowing the
producers to sell only given percentage
OF their crop, prices could be maintained
at level which would insure cost Of
production, Clair contended.
To circumvent legislative delay, back
ers Of the plan have launched a move
n1ent to secure its approval by the State
Legislatures now in session and have
them memorialize the United States
Congress to ratify the program.
Bond explained that the Clair plan
differs from the domestic allotment bill
now before the Senate Agricultural
Committee in that it can be put in oper-
alton overnight with the machinery al
ready set up.
The Farm Board could set it in mo-
ton under authority of the present
agricultural marketing act, he said.

Lead in State.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


ROCKVILLE, Md, January 18.-In
explaining to the Rockville Chamber of
Commerce last night the proposed milk
regulations for the county, Dr. v. L.
Ellicott, county health officer, declared
that when the regulations are approved
by the county commissioners, Mont
gomery County will be far ahead of
every other county of the State so far
as the sanitary handling of milk is
concerned.
The regulations, he said, which will
apply only to producers of the county
who retail their milk within the county.
will conform largely to the recommen-
dations of the United States Public
Health Service and will insure abso-
Lutte cleanliness and extremely low bac-
terra count and render virtually negli-
gible the danger of infection through
the consumption of milk.
The proposed regulations. DR. Ellicott
told the chamber, are now in the hands
OF the commissioners. 1t is planned, he
stated. not to have them become effec-
tive until January /, 1884.
Greater Montgomery County. Inc.
Walter Funderburk chairman, informed
the chamber, is planning to issue and
distribute pamphlets calling attention
to what he referred to as Montgomery
County's splendid public school sys-
tenn" and probably alluding to the
county's up-to-date health department
and its proposed elaborate park system.
The chamber indorsed such a project
and pledged its cooperation.
Reference being made to movement
by the Bradley Hills Citizens Associa-
ton for improvement of the Seven Locks
road from Bradley Boulevard to Conduit
road, it was suggested that the thorough
fare should be paved all the way from
the Conduit road to Montgomery ave-
nue. Rockville, by way of Monroe street.
and motion placing the chamber on
record as favoring such improvement
was unanimously adopted.
Increased public school facilities for
Rockville and better bus or street car
service between the county seat and
Washington were among other matters
given attention by the chamber The
president, Bernard T. Brosius, announced
the appointment of Louis j. Ryan as r
member of the Executive Committee in
place of J. Brawner Nicholson, deceased.
