Embarrassing Moments.

CLvDE CLARK, radio technician
~ with the National Broadcasting
Co, has an honest face-but, more
likely, the lady thought he was some
body else.
At any rate, while standing In the
lobby of a downtown movie theater,
removing his raincoat, the woman
standing next to him asked;
How do you fold your raincoat,
outside in or inside out?'
Clark always has an answer.
Inside out" he told her.
well, here, hold my pocketbook
while l fold mine" she said, placing
the purse in his hand
1t was a moment or so later before
she looked up and saw Clark, appar-
emily for the first time.

Another Tradition Blasted!
MONTGOMERY County police are
w waging a new cleanup cam
paign, but it isn't aimed at crime
or vice this time. Instead, it involves
the lay tradition that beer glasses
don't have to be washed because the
alcohol serves as an adequate cleans

The tradition is all wrong, according

MOONEY NOT
DISCOURAGED

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. % UP
Tom Mooney, Americas most
famous prisoner. still faced long
days of Imprisonment today despite
decision of the United States su-
preme court considered favorable to
his l9-year fight for freedom.
IN denying Mooney a writ of
habeas corpus, the nation IS highest
court recommended petitioners file
the same plea in the state courts of
California. Mooney was convicted
of murder in the Preparedness day
bombings here in 1916. Ten were
killed.
Mooney s attorneys never have
asked the state for a writ of habeas
corpus. The supreme court rec
ommen6ation opened a new path.
Preparing legal steps necessary to
obtain a hearing on the application,
which first must be submitted to
the trial court in San Francisco
county, Moneys attorneys realiz-
ed it is possible years may elapse
before a decision is reached.
LESdA ciul44OI4N 4NACO kO4lllCo OuI q
significant factor in the new move.
If the superior court or the state
supreme court grants Mooney the
writ freeing him from prison. a new
law gives the state the right to ap-
peal from the decision, thus delay
ing effectiveness of the writ.
In either event the case is likely
TO reach the U. S. supreme court
again, either on appeal of Moneys
counsel from denial of the petit
ton for the writ, or on the state S
appeal against granting writ.
Mooney apparently realized this
when he said in his cell in San
quentin prison:
''This blasting Of my immediate
hopes for freedom has not discour-
aged me. AS long as there is a
breath Of life in my aging body I
will continue to fight for freedom.
Eventually I will VIM"

Webb and George T. Davis, Moon

FAIL To LINK
HUSBAND WITH
WIFE s DEATH

LOS ANGELES, Jan. %. UP)-
Mystery deepened today in the in
veStigation of the brutal murder of
Mrs. Celia L. Holmes, as police con-
tinued their questioning OF her
husband, Edward E. Holmes, coun-
ty probation officer.
While detectives sought two mys-
terry men for questioning, police
chemists had revealed that oak
leaves found in Holmes car and
mud scraped from the car tenders
were not the same as those found
at the bottom of the deep Laurel
Canyon ravine where Mrs Holmes
beaten, bullet-riddled body was
found by hikers Sunday.
Mrs. Holmes disappeared Janu-
ary II ana t:l4ee Gays later Holmes
reported it to police.
In dramatic meeting yesterday,
Holmes was faced by his wife IS
father, Harry E. Green, at police
headquarters.

cuse him." Green said, according

the way he treated my daughter.
know he gave her black eye. -
DO you know Why?" Holmes
exclaimed. "She taunted me about
my friends and / could stand it no
longer"
However, L. j. Euler, attorney for
Holmes, said the quarrels between
Holmes and his wife had not been
of a se-:cus nature and said the
fact that Mrs. Holmes rings and
purse were missing might indicate
she had been robbed.
Ray Pinckert, police chemist,
analyzed the oak leaves and mud
found on Holmes car and disposed
of that slender clue when he said
they did not correspond with leaves
and dirt at the spot where the body
was found.

FRANCE PLANS
NO REPRISALS
ON ABYSSINIA

PARIS. Jan. Do UR)-France will
not protest to AbySsinia or the
League of Nations against a mass
acre in which AbySsinian nomads
killed a French administrative off
icer named Bernard, 18 native
French troops and 88 Somalis un-
der French rule, a spokesman for
the foreign office said today.
The massacre occurred 800 miles
from the recent italian -Abyssinian
clash at Ualual, which was made
the subject of an Abyssinian appeal
to the league against Italian lag
greSsion.
It was explained at the foreign
office that France is inclined to
regard the massacre of the lot per-
sons under French jurisdiction as
an accidental occurrence for which
Abyssiania can not be held respon-
sible
The foreign office said the men
responsible were not subject to the
king of Abyssinia but were nomads
who were always rowing along the
frontiers.

MASKED BAND
Furnishes PAIR
HELD IN JAIL

ELKINS, w. Va, Jan. %. OD -
Six masked men broke into the
county Jail here today, seized a man
and woman prisoner, took them to
the edge of town, stripped, tarred
and feathered them.
The victims were Peter Rimo, DO,
and Sylvia Tingsler, 10.
The jail raiders we're said to have
been incensed at conduct of the
couple who were serving sentences
on convictions of drunkenness and
dlsorderly conduct.
Rlmo and Miss Tingsler were
forced to walk half a mile from Ell
kins where they were disrobed and
the tar and feathers were applied.
Blankets were thrown to the
couple who shivered in the freezing
morning air. They walked back to
the Jail.
The girl said she fought the as
saulters. Rimo said he accompanied
them without resistance. The mask
ed men pried a lock from the jail
which is without guard at night.
County authorities ordered an in
vestigation, saying the marauders
would be prosecuted if their identi-
ty could be established.
