Stories Tnterlock
Interlocking stories told by the
witnesses will be duplicated, in part,
when the purported confessions are
read this afternoon.
In them, the suspects told of rob-
bing the Bonds corner store, flee
ing north toward Holtville and go
ing to the Date City service station.
There Null, who had been called in
TO the chase as special deputy sher-
if, saw the men and attempted to
question them. Corley, the state
contends, whipped up rifle from
the floor of the automobile and
fired Two bullets struck Null, one
in the shoulder and one in the side.
Leaving the service station, the
hunted men drove TO Calipatria.
Near there, according to testimony of
Sinclair, he was held up and his au-
tomobile taken, the alleged bandits
leaving him with one previously
stolen from Farmer. In that car
they fled south again, eventually
abandoning it when immigration Of
ficers were less than half a mile
away.
The three went across fields, dodg-
ing the lights of searching automo-
biles, until they came to the ranch
home Of Joe E. Kinnaird, where
they obtained another automobile
the one in which they were riding
at the time of their capture.
On evidence relating to these
events, the state will ask the death
penalty for Corley and the others.
Defense attorneys will seek free
dom or lesser Verdicts for their
clients on the contention that Nobel
and Marvin Morris had no direct
connection with the shooting 'of
Null, and that Corley acted in great
excitement and on the spur of the
moment. 1t will be their argument.
also, that Null had not represented
himself as an officer of the law. and
was engaged in attempting to make
an illegal arrest.

heads with chamber of commerce
leaders in Los Angeles last Friday.
Counties Agree
Either the county must have COM
plete control of the direct relief
situation or the state must handle
it, Preble said. a half and half
proposition with conflicts of author
ity and differences of opinion could
not be tolerated. Preble, in main
tanning this stand at Fridays meet
ing found that most other county
officials we're of the same opinion.
Preble asserted that this county
could and would prefer to care for
its own, but that the authority for
that care must rest within the
county.
Methods of encouraging growers
to show a preference for help who
reside in the valley, spend their mo-
ney here, and pay taxes to the ad-
vantage Of the community were
also discussed by the two officials.
Plans for meetings in the near future
to deal with the problems were
talked over but no action was TAX
zen pending further developments on

THIS coat of arms Is ascribed to
James Ashton, Virginia colon
ist. In 1880. 1t appears. however
that his brother Col. Peter Ashton,
was in the Southern Colony at an
earlier date. 1t is recorded that Col
Peter was q Burgess from Charles
City County, in 1856, and that he also
served in the House for Northumoer-
land County in 1859. His will, in
1863, gave to his brother James OF
Lincolnshire, England. his estate
Chatterton. on the Potomac, and to
his brother John zoo acres OF land
adjoining Chatterton. These BROTH
ers came to Virginia to take posses
sion of their property in 1910.
The name Ashton is traceable to
Edmund Ashton of Assheton. who
was the second son Of Sir John Ash
ton, lord of the estate of Chadder-
ton tafterward spelled Chattertonl
in Lancashire. through his marriage
to Joan Radcliffe. Edward Ashton OF
Chadderton was a member Of the
landed gentry in 1878. Sir Ralph
Ashton of Middleton. Lancashire, was
a member Of the nobility Of that shire
in 1873.
The Ashton estate. Chatterton. on
the Potomac River, in Virginia. WAS
named for the ancestral home In
Lancashire.

A rather fruitful theory has been
proposed as an explanation for use
less anxieties. 1t seems that they
have their beginnings back in the
sll-but forgotten years Of childhood.
For example, . child may be fright
ened by an adult. The appearance
of this adult is forgotten, so far as
conscious recollection is concerned.
But that image. nevertheless, abides
in the unconscious. where We tend to
relegate all unpleasant experiences.
Then, years later. We meet some per-

all those persons we don't like the

this way.
In similar way We may explain
our dislike for names. thunderStOrmS,

YOHNNY Chuck had looked ahead.
When he had dug that hole ne
had known that Reddy Fox
~ would surely visit him there
and trv to catch him. SO while
he had the chance to WORK uhais-
turbed he had prepared for that VISIT.
"Reddy will try to dig me Out. ne
had said to himself. Il know that fel-
low. He will try to catch me outside.
and when he fnds he cannot do that
he will try to dig me out. I must fool
him. for in this easy digging he can
dig as fast a ! can and perhaps
faster"
So after Johnny had dug his hole
as deep as he wanted 1t he started a
branch of to one side a little more
than half way down. 1t was \ passage
Just big enough to admit Johnny, and
not very long. At the end Of it he
left a lot of loose sand.
Il may not have to use it; then
again I may" thought he.
OF course he did not have to use it.
When the time came that Reddy
chased him into his hole Johnny
wasted no time He didn't go to the
bottom of that hole. as Reddy sup
posed. He went into that secret pas
sage and al once began to kick back
that loose sand that he had left there.
He kicked it behind him out into the
main hall which it soon completely
filled at that point. 1t was this sand
that RedGy supposed was being kicked
back from the end of the hole.
So while Reddy was so busy digging
the hole larger and digging through
that pile OF sand, Johnny was just rs
busy. He was digging that secret pas
sage longer and pushing the sand
back of him and packing 1t there as
firmly as he could. He was closing the
door. as 1t were.
Thus t. happened that when Reddy
reached the place where that secret
passage had opened there was no
opening and nothing to show that
there had been an opening. In fore
ing his way through the main hole
Reddy just closed that door all the
tighter So when he reached the end
and failed to find Johnny Chuck, then
backed out, carefully looking for
side tunnel, he failed to flnd one.
And Johnny wisely had stopped dig
ging SO that there was no sound to
guide Reddy.
IF he does find the entrance to
this passage I'll have plenty Of time
to keep digging and dig my way up
and out" thought Johnny. "Of
course I don't want to do that, but 1t
will be one way Of escape. hope he
won't find the paSsa
Reddy didn't as you know. He sus-
pected what Johnny had done, but
couldn't find the place. So at last he
gave up. Johnny remained right
where he was until he was sure that
Reddy had become discouraged and
given up. Then cautiously. very cau-
tiously, he opened that door. That is.
he dug his way back to the main tun-
mel. All was safe and when at last he
ventured up to his doorstep Reddy was
nowhere about. Johnny grinned.
Fooled him that time" he said to
himself. And I'll do the same thing
over again If he returns and tries to
dig me out again. He has made this
hole too big. I don't like it. 1t Is so
big now that he can get in without

no NOT be fooled by the size
and beauty Of this snake, be-
cause 1t resembles the HARM
- less ones, but give 1t all the
room 1t wishes and do not
attempt to handle 1t. The harlequin
or coral snake belongs to a subfamily
that contains some of the most deadly
species Of snakes.
All the members Of this family
are famous for their resemblance to
the brightly colored harmless ones.
Though the harlequin possesses small
fangs, they are provided with deadly
venom. that is more effective than
that of the thick-bodied vipers.
This gayly- marked creature ranges
from Northern North Carolina to the
Gulf of Mexico and westward to
Texas: from Texas southwark into
Central America. and gradually work
ing its range up the Mississippi VAL
ley, as far North as Southern Ohio.
1t Is q slender bodied snake, about
one yard long, with q black, blunt
head, and no distinct neck. The
color pattern is formed of broad rings
of deep scarlet and blue-black. These
rings are in turn separated by narrow
ribbons of yellow. The snout Is black

right In. can't have that. No, sir, I
can't have that"
So Johnny moved on q short dis
tance and dug a new hole. and when
he dug this he made q secret passage
just as he had before, and he >grinned
while he was doing it. "Reddy may
not try 1t again" thought he. but
I'll be ready for him If he does. He
isn't going to find me unprepared.
There is nothing like being ready for
whatever may happen"
Reddy did return to the old house,
Of course. And all he had to do was
to walk right in. for. as you know, he
had already dug 1t big enough fol-
that And when he walked right in he
discovered the entrance to the secret
passage and knew exactly what had
happened when he failed to find
Johnny Chuck.

"HE fact that We used the bid

TENS were Numerically opposed. In
one, the two bid indicated q three

mary trick hand, and the three bid
was forcing. In the other the two
bid was forcing, the three bid q suit
pre-emptive.
No one used both the two bid and
the three bid as forces to fit differ
ent type hands. All original forces
were made on primary tricks and
game exceptions. Ace showing was
used occasionally, but only above the
game level. The following. for ex-
ample. was not considered an original
two bid, despite the fact that the
