No DEATH PLEA
IS SOUGHT FOR
MRS. BUCCOLO
Husband Staying Case Nears
Jury Here After Wife
Tells Her Story
The task of deciding what course

justice shall take with Mrs. Mary
Irene Buccolo. 40. tried for the
Staying of her husband, Rudolph
B. Buccolo, 36, will be given to a
jury of 10 men and two women
by Justice James M. Proctor this
afternoon in District Supreme
Court.
Making his last appearance be-
fore a jury in the role of prose
cutor, Julian I. Richards pleaded
with the jury to find the widow
guilty, but he did not demand the
death penalty. He declared:
"Buccolo is cead and dead
men tell no tales. But there
is one thing he left behind
him which speaks just as elO-
quently as anything he might
have said and that is his bull
let-riddled body with four shots
in the back"
The widow shuddered when
the prosecutor displayed the
blood-stained coat, which Mr..
Buccolo wore when he met his
death, and pointed out to the
jurors the bullet holes in the
back of the coat.
Family Ties LOOsened
He pictured the husband as
a man closely tied down to his
home by his wife and her family.
He declared:
Because he became unhappy
in his own married life, he
sought an outlet. He fell in
love with another woman.
There were no children. He
fell in love. Is he to be killed
for that?"
The prosecutor pictured Mrs.
Buccolo as a cool, calm woman,
who deliberately purchased a pis-
tol, not for fear or safety, but
to avenge herself for the hurt
her husband had caused her by
his affair with the other woman.
Pistol Action Shown
Holding the death pistol, Mr..
Richards pulled the trigger six
times, showing the comparative
slow action of the weapon, and
said:
"You can't pull the trigger
of this gun without thinking"
Mr.. Buccolo is accused OF
shooting her husband September
8. 1888, in her bedroom in the
4100 block Fifth St. N. w. The
couple had separated few weeks
before.
Throughout the arguments,
Miss Florence V. Galleher, "a,
pretty candy store clerk, the
other woman in the triangle, sat
in the packed courtroom.
Defense Plea Made
George D. Horning, jr., opened
the plea for defense. He asked

ENGLISH EARL ADMITS BANDTTRY

When He Was Yankee Cowboy

1t was before he went to the
Klondyke, reputedly among the

100 miles in l8 hours to win a bet
for a friend that he could do it

and landed his horses hind hoofs
on two China dinner plates on
another bet.
He is II now and almost revered
in England On the occasion of
his golden wedding anniversary in
1928 a national subscription was
raised to buy him a gold chest.
1t turned out to be a world wide
subscription and $1,750,000 was
raised. The money left over, nat
urally almost all, went to charity.
He still seems young and at

also a famous speaker. A few
years ago when his income dropped
suddenly he was asked for $1,000
by a charity he is interested in.
He did not have the money at
the moment, but went on a three

FOR MERRIAM
Orange County Publisher Gets
First Appointment From New
Governor.

SACRAMENTO, June 9. U.P)-
Acting Gov. Frank F. Merriam
planned to rest today, after a week
of strenuous activity, climaxed by
the appointment of Justus Craem-
er, publisher of the Orange Daily
News, as his private secretary.
Craemer replaces William McCar-
thy who held the title executive
secretary" under the late Gov.
James Rolph, Jr.
Two other Rolph secretaries,
William A. Smith and Francis
A. Cochran, will be retained "for
the time being" Merriam said.
Craemer, who will handle many
of the governors affairs and assist
in the administration of the gov
ernment, is a veteran newspaper
publisher and a close friend of
the executive.
In announcing the appointment,
Merriam said:
1T is very gratifying to me that
the first appointment 7 am MAX
ing as governor calls into the SER
vice of the state a man of such
sterling qualities and exceptional
ability. The post accepted by Mr.
Craemer calls for sacrifice on
his part which, except for our
personal friendship and association
of many years, 1 should not ask
of any man. However, it is his con-
viction, as it is mine, that the
emergency confronting the people
and government of California de-
mands devoted and unSelfish SER
vice from every citizen in what
ever capacity he may be called
upon to serve.
Leader of Press
Mr.. Craemer is familiar with
every aspect of California's econ
omic and social problems"
The new secretary is vice presi-
dent of the California Press AS
sociation, director of the California
State Chamber of Commerce.; past
president of the National Editorial
Association and the state fair
board.
Merriam's appointment of Craem-
er was the first movement of an
expected administration shakeup.
The new executive has made it
clear that he plans to oust any
Rolph appointees who do not fit
in with his plans, or who in his
opinion are not the best quail
fled for the posts. He would not
indicate who may be removed,
insisting he had been too busy
to consider the matter thoroughly.

a warning to leave and avoid ex-
posing his person to danger from
hostile factions. according to
United Press dispatches telling of
the attack. Bessig was brought
back to Brawley where he will re-
main until protection can be given
him in leaving the valley.
Denied Camp Visit
He was denied permission to
visit the rock crusher camp yes
terday where several alleged agi-
tators who were sentenced to
terms in the county jail have been
sent to work.
These men claimed that their
constitutional rights have been
violated in that although they
were sentenced to the county Jail
they were not sentenced to do any
work in the camp. They had de-
termined to add a hunger strike
to their previously announced
work strike but General Glassford
during a recent visit to the camp
advised them to discontinue both
strikes and return to work. STAN
ley Hancock, alleged ringleader in
the strike movement at the camp,
was brought back to the county
Jail earlier in the week and con-
fined in the Jail until he changes
his mind in the matter.
Bessig had come to the valley to
aid in the defense of several men,

victed on traffic and other charges

United Press Staff Correspondent


Copyright, 1884, BY United Press
WASHINGTON, June 9. - The
prospect appeared today that Pres
id8nt Roosevelt may meet with high
japanese officials in the mid-Paci-
fic this summer in an effort to
strengthen good will bonds between
the two nations.
japanese guests at luncheon
given by President Roosevelt for
Prince Fumimaro Konoye, presi-
dent of the japanese house Of
peers, said the President expressed
pleasure at the suggestion.
1t was believed the conference,
If arranged, would go far toward
removing grounds of misunder-
standing between the United States
and Japan.
1t would afford an opportunity
for first hand discussions of half
dozen international problems which
have troubled American-Japanese
relations.
Among these are the question OF
the open door in China, recogni-
ti0n of ManchuKuo, the 9-power
treaty guaranteeing the territorial
and administrative integrity OF
China, the question of naval ratios,
the new status of the Philippines
under independence, and the pos
sibility of quota status for Japan
as regards immigration.
The White House luncheon guests
revealed that the President had or
iginally considered the possibility
of going to visit Japan when he
first determined upon making the
cruise to Hawaii He was invited
to extend his journey by the Jap
anese- American society in Tokyo.
However, due to the pressure of
domestic matters, the President
realized that such long journey
would be out of the question. Then
The question of meeting with
japanese statesmen in Honolulu
arose.
'Some Japanese suggested that
Premier Saito or other prominent
officials visit Honolulu and greet
the chief executive as a good will
gesture. Mr.. Roosevelt was said to
have been pleased with the idea
and to have assured his visitors OF
his willingness to meet with any
delegation which should visit him
in Honolulu.
