Sclidate his power and restore con-

ernment decided the opposition was
SO weak, it could be ignored.
Admitting the hostility or cold
ness of the principal political par
ties and the opposition of deposed
army and navy officers encamped
at the National hotel, the govern
ment asserted it had the backing
CT a majority of the people.
The politicians and the officers
expressed confidence that the gov
eminent was SO weak it would fall
by itself without revolt. 1t had
no authority at all outside of Ha-
yana, they asserted, and was leav-
ing the country to anarchy.
The cabinet determined to pay no

CASE
NEARING END
Woman Friend Testifies She
Noticed Change In Relations
OF Young Couple.

SAN JOSE, Sept. l3. U.P) -
Prosecutors hammered rebuttal
points into the minds of restless,
tired jurors today in final effort
to show that David A. Lamson'S
Stanford campus romance became
an ugly thing that caused him to
beat his pretty wife to death with
an iron pipe.
AS the trial moved into its nth
day the state wrung an admission
from a campus friend of Allenc
Thorpe Lamson, the dead woman,
that was nonethelesS effective
though its explanation was barred
by defense objection.
Mrs. Carol Reed Wilson, author
and Stanford campus resident who
said she had been a close friend of
Allene and David, was on the stand.
Had you noted any change in
the relations between Mr.. ana Mrs.
Lamson some three months before
Mrs. Lamson's death?" asked Her
bert Bridges, assistant prosecutor.
Mrs. Wilson smiled toward the
jurors, nodded her head and an
sWered Eyes"
Edwin M. Rea, defense counsel,
shouted:
Your honor, I object to this as
an act of gross misconduct on the
part of the prosecution! Anything
this woman may say is inadmis-
sable. How can we refute anything
dead woman may have said? I
ask that the actions Of the district
attorney be cited as misconduct
and the jury instructed to disre-
gard any implication in this ques-
ton"
When Mrs. Wilson admitted that
Allene Lamson was the source OF
her knowledge of the changed at
titude of Lamson and his wife be-
fore her death, Judge R. r. Syer
upheld the defense objection, but
said nothing about the "miscon-
duct" charge.
The state sought Mrs. Wilson S
testimony to bolster that of all
earlier witness who said Lamson
told him shortly before Allene's
death that his family life was near
ing "a climax" and that he didn't
care what happened"
Prosecutors insisted that the Lam
sons were unhappily married, &C.
spite the campus conviction that
they were the perfect couple" and
that the discord arose either from
Lamson's trips to Sacramento to
see Mrs. Sara Kelley, blonde di-
vorcee, or because Allene frustrated
his love.

AS the county grand jury planned
to return an indictment late today
charging Burmah Adams White
with II felony counts, the blonde
young girl who was widowed with
in five days of her marriage by de-
tectives' bullets outlined a fight for
freedom based on her contention
she was forced into life of crime.
The former Santa Ana high school
girl, in a lengthy confession to Bu-
ron R. Fits, district attorney, claim
ed Thomas White, slain bandit,
forced her to accompany him in a
series of holdups by threats on her
life.
~ married him in fear of my
life,' the girl declared. "He forced
me to go along in his robberies by
threatening to kill me.''
Percy Harmon, deputy district
attorney, was drawing up an indict-
ment to be returned late today after
the grand jury voted to name her
in a true bill enumerating seven
counts of robbery, one of attempted
robbery and three of assault with
intent to commit murder.
The assault charges were based
on White IS shooting of Miss Cora
Wilmington and Crombie Allen, re-
tired publisher, and the bullets aim
ed at C. c. Lewis which failed to
reach their goal.
D." Mrs. White declared her husband
fired shot which pierced the neck
of Allen and blinded Miss Withing-
ton in one eye only in an attempt
to frighten the couple, and with
no intention of doing bodily harm.
Meeting Allen in the hall Of JUS
tice yesterday, Mrs. White said:
81 IN sincerely sorry, but it was
beyond my power to prevent it
She said she met White at a pub
lie dance hall in Los Angeles last
May or June, but didn It learn un-
til two months later that he was a
bandit.

by organizing all merchants and
business houses under the blue
eagle and obtaining the signed sup
port of every individual to support
the firms and individuals who have
agreed to support the Presidents s
unemployment campaign.
1--WE feel that the most important
step toward the enforcement of the
recovery act in Ell Centro today is
the signing up of every consumer
in this community" stated r. j.
Kliegel, director general of the local
NRA drive today. The women of
a community are the group which
do the majority of the buying and
it is the support of the women OF
El Centre which we are now ask
ing in this drive. 1t is not much
to ask that each woman in the city
and trade area surrounding il
pledge her support to merchants
who display the blue eagle insignia
1t is, in fact, little to ask in El
Centre where very few business
houses have not obtained a blue
eagle. But until we have this sup
port of the women we cannot pro-
coed with the further program of
the Presidents agreement.
1.-The business which has not
agreed to help the national recov-
cry act and the violator of codes
cannot be forced into line until
the consumers have formed solid
army to help enforce the NRA,'
continued Kliegel. Therefore the
