tion.
Bruises on Body
DR.. Carpenter said he found
several bruises on the body, one
on the left arm and others on
the hip and thighs.
The bruises on the arm and
thighs. he said, had been inflict-
ed within 48 hours of Mrs. David
sons death.
Q.-There has been testimony
given that Mrs. Davidson was
struck by a tennis ball the Satur-
day previous to her death and also
fell in Boston in mid-February. In
your opinion could they have left
such marks? A.-PoSsibly.
Q.-Could a fall have produced
the bruises. A.-Not all of them.
Off Mrs. Davidson died of
carbon monoXide poisoning and
fell into the position in which her
body was found could she have re-
ceived those bruises? Ain my
opinion, no.
It was expected Solicitor
Rowland Pruette will spend con.
siderable time questioning DR.. Car
penter as to the nature of the
bruises found on Mrs. Davidson's
body. InaSmuch as the early re-
port indicates the bruises were not
sufficient to have caused death,
the jury is expected to return a
verdict of death by suicide or
death by accident.
Choice Of Four VerdictS
Solicitor Pruette said today the
jury has a choice of four verdicts
murder by some person, murder
by unknown persons, suicide, or
death by accident.
Mr.. Davidson was asked about
her bruises yesterday. He recalled
that his wife told him and two of
their guests she had been struck
by tennis ball on the Saturday
preceding her death. He recalled
also that in mid-February, while
visiting Boston she had slipped
and fallen on the ice.
Recent Bruises
But these were not the bruises
found on Mrs. DavidSon's body
after her death, DR.. M. w. Marr,
Pinehurst physician, told the cor
oner's jury.
He explained the age of bruises
can be determined by the colora.
ton. Those found on her right
thigh and hip, he said. must have
been received from a half hour
to 48 hours" before her death.
The tennis game mentioned by
her husband and the ice episode
in Boston would not fall within
that time.

HITLER To SET.
PARLEY TERMS
WITH BRITAIN
Aroused BY "White Paper,"'
Will Demand Recognition
OF German Equality
Copyright, 1895, by International
News Service)

BERLIN, March 7 G.N.S).
With the knowledge the world
now has of Germany's indignation
over the recent British white
paper" attacking Reich rearma-
ment, Chancellor Adolf Hitler is
determined to presribe the condi.
tions under which British Foreign
Secretary Sir John Simon's visit
here will be acceptable to Berlin.
This was learned from reliable
sources by International News
Service today as Hitler, osten-
Sibly recovering from "cold"
which forced postponement Of
Sir Johns visit, sat tight while
letting the force of his rebuff to
Britain sink in.
Insists on Equality
High sources intimated that
Hitler is determined not to vel.
come a visit from Sir John url.
less Britain, now or at some
time in the future, recognizes
unequivocally Germany's claim to
equality.
They intimated further than the
time has arrived to talk turkey"
and that Hitler is content to
await Britain's next move. There
is no longer any secret of Hitler's
anger over the British Govern.
ment's action in releasing the
strongly-worded white paper"
only a few days prior to Sir
Johns contemplated visit to
Berlin.
Prior to postponement of the
British Foreign Secretary's visit,
Hitler had planned to let him
sound out the Reich fully regard
ing European problems, and the
Chancellor had planned to stress
Germany's fundamental demand
for equality recognition in each
answer.
In this connection, the CORE.
spondent's informants admitted
that equality, so far as Hitler's
conception is concerned, embraces
not only invalidation of the
armaments clause of the Ver-
Sailles treaty but also removal Of
all restrictions upon Germany i'm
posed by the postwar pacts.
