opportunity to recover IL I can"
the aged man said as he wiped an
tear from his sightleSs right eye.
Several Of the jurors, plainly
affected by the mans story. sat
with heads averted and did not
look at him.
He has been under care at the
county jail since going to Judge o.
G. Dancy with his story on July 8.
Il have been treated very kind
" at the JAIL" he told the jurors,
"and I have nothing but praise
for the jailers. But. as you gen.
tlemen must know, that Is no
place for a man in my condition.
The noise in particular disturbs
my peace OF mind. Most OF the
talk Is In Spanish and 7 do not
speak the language. and that
tends to jangle my nerves"
He appeared affected by testi-
mony that he had threatened to
take the life Of his grandson.
There has been testimony
here he said. that I threaten
ed TO kill my grandson. The wit
ness said my wife told them that.
We have been married for 40
years and she has my deepest love
and respect, but on that point I
think she must be mistaken. But
If she is correct, when I was stark,
raving mad when 1 made the
threat: I remember nothing about
IL. To the best of my memory. i
have never contemplated inturing
anyone but myself"
The jurors we're plainly touch
ed by the old mans story.
He was a wealthy operator IN
Florida during the boGm years
there. and came to the Valley
about five years ago. He pur-
chased acreage and held respon-
sible positions with plantations
and shipping firms before the
automobile accident two years ago.
The aged man blamed most OF his
difficulties on the wreck which
made it impossible for him to re-
turn TO gainful employment.
The jury granted his request to
be placed in a state institution.

Officers learned that Sparrow
was spending the night with Har-
lingen friends and went there.
When they awakened him, II was
the first information he had con-
corning the loss Of his car. II was
stolen from in front Of his friends
home where he was staying.
Gunnell's car, apparently undam-
aged, was found on a side street
near the cotton compress in Har-
hngen about 9 a. m. Saturday.
The investigating officers. headed
by Sheriff Goolsby. feel certain that
the bandits will be located in Har-
lingen If they have not already fled.
The fact that the Sparrow car was
stolen in Harlingen and that the
Gunnell car was abandoned there
points definitely to three Harlin-
gen suspects who we're missing from
their quarters Friday night. Of
ficerS state.
One without Mask
The blond, about %, who took
command in the armed stick-up,
wore a dark suit and a light cap.
He apparently did not fear recog-
milton by the parties sought. The
other two. however. wore masks
fashioned from handkerchiefs, lead
ing officers to the belief that they
were known to the parties sought.
Th-Se two wore overalls and light
;tiirts and appeared to be working
men.

wahl angle o. the case. Rosewahl is
believed to still be in the Valley
but had not been contacted BY Of
ficers at a late hour Saturday night.

Insurgents Revolt at Gag Rule Compromise
 Seen in Ofing
G. 0. P. OUT WITH
 ALTERNATE SCHEME
Congressmen Want Promise of Share of Huge Sum
 Tn Home Districts

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. - The Administration control over Con- gress faced it's first major chal- lenge today after a plan to rush the $4,O0O, 100000 work relief meas ure through the House under gag rule struck unexpected obstacles. The measure is already one day behind fast schedule because the insurgent Democrats on the House Rules Committee declined to agree to passage under the ironclad rules limiting debate and amendments.
 There were indications that a compromise might result after a secret conference of Republicans under Minority Leader Shell pro- duced a plan to scrap the Admi'a- istration measure which wound give the President $4,000,O0o,00 in a lump sum with discretion as to how it can be spent.
 G. o. P. Substitute
 lTe cIllSl ledLuIt Ol tlle oupoll- ute plan aims at keeping the Gov ernment out of competition with private business and each State would be given pro rata share to be spent through private con- tractors in a drive to transfer three and one half million persons from dole to jobs.
 We are united against this bill that would take away from Con- gress the right to appropriate and legislate," Shell said.
 Byrns in Peacemaker Role
 Speaker Joseph w. Byrns sought to bring the Rules Committee around to the Administration view so the measure could go through the House tomorrow. Other leaders expressed fear if it was brought up without drastic curbs the Admins tration's lump sum idea would be wrecked under the rush of log roll ing designed to earmark. certain sums for Legislators home districts.
