LOS ANGELES, April 6 GN.S).
Harry Joe Brown, film producer
and husband of Sally Eilers, film
star, today prepared to resume
the witness stand and continue his
efforts to break down the story of
Marjorie Whites, actress, that he
Tilted her.
Brown opened his defense to
Miss Whites 100000 breach-of-
promise suit by calling Miss Eilers
as witness.
Later he took the stand himself
and was telling his story when
the jury of five men and seven
women went home for the night.
Rubbing His Head
Miss Whites, known on the
screen as Marjorie Gay, had told
the jury that Brown popped the
question" one night while she was
rubbing his head, and that was
one of the things Brown was going
to deny today.
Yesterday, Browns testimony
consisted of deniaS that he had
ever told Miss Whites he was
using Miss Eilers to get him ahead
in pictures and denialS he had
stopped at the same hotel Miss
Eilers did when he was in Europe.
Brown also denied he had ever
talked to Miss Whites half
brother, Jim Bridges, about marry
ing Marjorie.
Both Claim Him Nights
Miss Whites, a pretty brunette,
testified that after Brown came
home in the summer of 1888 from
Europe-from a trip upon which
he was alleged to have seen much

Miss Eilers, on the stand to aid
Brown, said it wasn't so. She
testified:

Mr.. Brown then explained his

Katharine Hepburn, back after
spending only four days in Eu-

from trousers to the drama, to-
day emphatically denied she went
to Paris to arrange a divorce.
Her husband is Ludlow ogden
Smith, formerly Of Strafford.
They met while Miss Hepburn
was attending Bryn Mawr Col
lege. And they were married a
year after her graduation-When
she decided she wouldn't amount
to anything on the stage and in
tended to devote her time to
housekeeping.
Miss Hepburn said she intends
to "try to make herself better
actress" Particularly on the stage,
she added-apparently remember
ing sadly her experiences in the
play, "The Lake"
In Hollywood, the unusual young
actress, who leaped to fame for
her performance in Bill Of Di-
vorcement," likes at times to go
about in overalls and a work
mans shirt.
She was asked If she wore
trousers while in Paris.
"Only to bed" was her reply.

Visitors Day at StambouI Jail;
Case Still PerpIexes
U. S. and Turkey

ISTANBUL, April s GN.S).
Samuel insult, former ruler of a
vast financial realm, spent his
first Turkish Sunday in Jail today
while the governments of Turkey
and the United States pondered
the problem of how to get him
back to Chicago to stand trial on
indictments growing out of the
collapse Of his utilities enterprises.
Since today is the day Islam
observes as its sabbath, there was
no official activity and the status
of insults case remained un-
changed.
Visiting Day at Jail
1t was visiting day at the
detention house in old Stamboul
where insult has been held since
he was taken off the Greek ship
MaiotiS by Turkish police but no
visitors came to see the former
Chicagoan. Newspaper CORES
pondents, who have been rigidly
barred from talking with insult,
tried to use visitors day as an
excuse to gain admittance to the
hospital room in which he is con-
fined but stern jailerS turned
them away.
insult in jail, however, is dis
playing some of the financial
acumen and ability to drive
bargain which made him one of
the United States most spec
tacular financiers before his
financial house collapsed, it was
learned. Prisoners in the deten-
ton house are required to keep
their own rooms neat.
Case Still Perplexes
Not relishing the job of being
his own "chambermaid." insult
drove close bargain with fel-
low prisoner and got him to
agree to clean the former utilities
magnate'S room, make his bed.
ETC., for 20 cents per day.
The United States Embassy
stated the governments of Turkey
and the United States are in
communication regarding insults
status but that there had been
no developments. It still is un-
decided when or how he will be
taken back to the United States.
or whether an officer will be sent
from America to take him in
custody or a special deputy ap-

Untermyer proposed that the

Although committee members
