INLAND DISPUTED
|. BY MRS. MUENCH
Testimony Completed in
Kelley Kidnap Case-Jury
Soon to Retire.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO, Mo-, October 4-Testi-
mony was completed today in the trial
of Mrs Nellie Upton Muench, once
q socially prominent st. Louisan, on
trial here for allegedly participating
in the 1881 kidnapping of DR.. Isaac D.
Kelley, as the red-haired defendant
made her second witness stand ap-
pearance to deny State testimony.
1T is false" she told the jury today
when asked by her attorneys II the
testimony of State Witness William
INLAND, a deputy constable, that he
had seen her with codefendant, Bart
Davit, was true. inland said Mrs.
Muench told him she was "out hav-
ing a good time" with Davit.
Her one sentence of testimony COM
pleted the defense case and brief
recess was ordered to prepare instruc-
tlons to the jury, which probably will
receive the case late today.
Testimony Of Neighbor.
Mrs. Milton Landau, whose home Is
adjacent to the fashionable Muench
home in st. Louis, testifying for the
State on rebuttal, said Angelo Rose
grant, convicted Kelley kindaper. had
been visitor of Mrs. Muench during
the week in April, 1891, that the
throat specialist was held prisoner.
The statement corroborated the tes-
tinony of Ida Wilzer, former maid in
the Muench home. The attractive, 43-
Ueor-n1l ho dafpndaot icfn
of Judge of the Missouri Supreme
Court, disclaimed more than a very
casual acquaintance with Rosegrant,
as she denied any connection with the
crime yesterday.
Mrs. Landau also testified Miss Will
ger was employed at the Muench home
in April, 1881; Mrs. Muench, from the
witness stand, declared the maid was
not. in her employ until the Fall of
that year.
INLAND testified that he had seen
Mrs. Muench and Bart Davit, awaiting
trial for the kidnapping, together in
an automobile in 1888, two years after
the kidnapping.
Testimony Repudiated.
Prosecutors of the woman who, on
! the eve of her oft-delayed trial, an
nounced the birth of baby after %
years Of childless married life, were
faced at the outset today by direct
reputation of testimony of one of
their principal witnesses.
Attorneys for Mrs. Muench sur
prised a packed court room yesterday
by introducing an affidavit by Mrs.
Sarah Jones, State witness, which
directly contradicted her prosecution
testimony.
Mrs. Jones, former waitress in the
resort of Adolph Fielder, where the
State contends the kidnapping was
plotted, swore in the affidavit that
she had never seen the defendant in
the place. In her testimony for the
State Mrs. Jones had said Mrs.
Muench met there with Rosegrant and
Felix Macdonald.
Mrs. Muench denied having been in
the Fielder resort.
The State contended that the attrac-
tive defendant had entertained Rose
grant In her home during the week in
which Kelley was held prisoner. Kelley
identified Rosegrant as one of the kid
napers.

HIS organization, ne says, Is now In
IL States. He has no idea that this
outfit can play any important politi-
cal role in the next elections. In fact,
he is setting up autonomous State
groups, permitting them to do what
ever they like in their State politics.
Sinclair's game apparently is one
of waiting until President Roosevelt
has failed. He will prepare while
waiting. He appears to have no presi-
Dental aspirations for himself. He
knows too much for that. But he
certainly is scheming to put his pro
duction for use" unemployment relief
scheme into operation nationally
through Mr.. Roosevelt or any ether
political agency which happens to be
available.
For Roosevelt First.
Therein lies a fun understanding
of the political enigma, Sinclair. who
has been using the Democratic party
to advance his ideas in this State. He
Is for Roosevelt. He will be for Mr.
Roosevelt up to the 1886 Democratic
Convention. You may quote him on
that. Tin fact. you may quote him
IN anything. He does not talk off the
record, processing to have no secrets.)
Frankly, he will say his support Of
Mr.. Roosevelt is not because he likes
the New Dealer. In fact, he believes
80 per cent of the New Deal has failed
or is about to fail The only Roose-
welt policy he supports is T. " A.
However, Mr.. Roosevelt IS the only
national figure he can be for, so he is
for Mr.. Roosevelt.
His Eptcs wtH put their own
slate OF delegates tn the Demo-
/ cratic primary here merit gear, de-
spite all you may hare heard to
the contrary. They Uil contest
against the Fdrley-McAdoo dele
gates. not on the question of Mr..
Rooseuelt's denomination but solely
to get an Epic plank in the Demo-
cratic national platform.
Thus, further, you can see where
Sinclair is reaching for the shoes that
were Huey Longs.
There is one grave technical po-
litical weakness in the proposed ma
tional Epic expansion. For the benefit
Of people who may have come in late,
it may be related that his plan is to
make the unemployed earn their own
way by self-supporting production for
use. MIR. Roosevelt's way is to pay
the unemployed from the Federal
Treasury and let them spend the
money wherever they choose.
Thus the New Deals money goes
into business Sinclair would deprive
business Of that income.
Sinclair's answer to this Is that
the business man would not have to
pay unemployment relief taxes under
his plan, but it is doubtful whether
he will be able to sell many business
men on that idea.
Three-Cornered Bloc.
The best that most Republicans can
see is that this fifth most important
State (electorally) is doubtful. Demo-
scrats insist that they would carry it
easily today. They claim to have the
Epics, the regular Democrats, who
hate the Epics, and the Hiram john
son Progressive Republican following.
This makes q hard combination to
beat, If the economically antagonistic
component parts will hang together.
Certainly the New Deal support IN
this State, as in many another, con-
tains the most motley assemhiage ever
gathered together under one banner.

MESH MARKINGS
NOW IN DISCARD
Smooth Sphere Couldn't Be
Knocked More Than $50
Yards by SIugger.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

~ I'D you know that the dimplc
(or other) markings on the
j golf ball that you use and
cuss at and got into rhapso-
dies over when you make good shot,
is there for a reason, and that if it
wasn't there you couldn't knock the
sphere $50 yards?
Do you realize that scientific and
practical investigation has found that
the dimple or depressed half-circle
marking on your golf ball has become
standard and that it has superseded
almost entirely the old bramble, half
moon. mesh and other markings on
golf balls until today nearly 100 per
cent of all golf balls manufactured
are made with dimple markings.
The golf ball you use is a highly
specialized manufactured article. Into
its making has gone the scientific re-
search of hundreds of skilled men, the
built-up knowledge of two score years
Of brain work and the resources OF
factories valued at many millions Of
dollars. And it is by no haphazard
method that the dimple marking or
any marking at all comes on the
cleaning white surface Of the rubber
cored sphere which causes you, Mr..
Golfer, alternate spasms of delighted
depression.

Wouldn't Go Far.

IF YOU could buy perfectly smooth
/ golf ball. made in every other way
barring the markings, as a stand
ard golf ball. and If you could step
out on the tee and hit it with your
favorite driver, with the smooth swing.
the wriSt-snap and the gallant follow
through of a Bobby Jones, some sur
prising things would happen. That
peSky pill, instead Of rising in a long
arc to end 220-odd yards down the
fairWay, would rise and dip like a
woodcock in flight, alternately soar
ing and planning until it lost force and
fell $50 yards or less from the tee. 1t
wouldn't go anywhere and 1t certainly
wouldn't go as far as the well-made
sphere you can buy from your golf pro.
The manufacturers early in the game
found out what airplane manufac-
turerS have since found out: That it
isn't alone the force impaired by the
hit that keeps a golf ball in the air,
but that it is also the vacuum on top
of the sphere that keeps it up. That
is why a ball with spin of any kind
won't travel as far as one that Is hit
without spin; that is why ball with
slice spin loses much Of its normal
distance and that is why a ball hit
with backspin doesn't go as far as one
hit without spin Of any kind. 1t all
comes down to aerodynamics, but first
you must have something to grip the
air. The air-gripper of the golf ball
is the series of scores of dimple mark
ings that cover the surface of the
pretty little white sphere. If they
were not there your average par hole
or around 400 yards would become
three-shotter even for the big hitters.

Mesh Is Disappearing.

Until three or four years ago the
mesh marking on golf balls found
equal popularity with the dimple
marking. But gradually the mesh
marking began to go as more and
more golfers turned to the dimple
marking, until today only small pro-
portion of the golf balls manufactured
come with mesh markings. The
dimple marking today is standard
throughout the industry. 1t has been
found to be the best for all types of
weather and under all air conditions.
Twenty years ago it was different.
Old-time golfers will recall the Zone
Zodiac of 1912 or thereabouts. with
half-moon marking; the bramble, with
little pimpleS sticking out all over the
sphere, and a darned good golf ball
in those days; and even the old Has
kell rubber-core, back around 1905,
the progenitor of the modern and fast
golf ball Of today. And did you know
that the dimple markings are scien-
tifically designed and must be ac-
curate to fifth Of thousandth part
Of an inch, and that the holdings
which make the covers of golf balls
cost lot of money and must be re-
newed frequently because they wear
out even under the force Of pressing
hot rubber and lose the depth Of
their markings?
Yes. the golf ball industry Of today
is highly technical industry. And
the product it turns out is the best
that has yet come along. The tip-off
on the ball of 1885 is that while the
high-power sphere will be retained
with its tightly compressed windings.
compresSions are going to be lowered
in most balls so the standard sphere
will lose yard or two in distance.
But you never will know it.

TINE $4,000 Florida Derby, which
i will be renewed at Hialeah Park
March 9, had its first running
in 1925. although 1t was not until 1929,
when ]. E. Widener took over super
vision of the course, that the race was
given its present name.
For the first running the event was
known as the Curtiss- Bright Handi-
cap. The following year the name
was changed to the Miami Handicap
and the purse to $4,000.
Racing was discontinued in 1928,
when the Supreme Court ruled the
system of wagering then in use was
illegal. With Widener taking over
the controlling interest in 1929, the
event became known as the Florida
Derby.
The Miami Jockey Clubs books
show 1901 horses are registered for
racing at Hialeah Park. There are
BIT 2-yeai i-olds and 984 older horses.
Some $50 are quartered at Tropical
