Defense Plans to Call
Nearly 100 Witnesses

"she laughed in my face"
Bitterly, defeatedly. Mrs. 10.
sephine Beall, wife of Arthur W
Beall. the Jamestown garage
owner who has been called Mrs
Lyddane's paramour, cried these
words from the witness stand OF
the Montgomery County Circuit
Court today at Mrs. Lyddane.
It was the highlight OF a day
tense with suppressed emotion.
The strain was not eased until,
after examining more than a
dozen witnesses this morning,
States Attorney James H. Pugh
arose quietly at 11:46 and said:
"The State rests. your Honor"
Mrs. Beall, witness for the
State in the trial of Anne Lyd
dane, charged with conspiring to
murder her husband. Francis
"Slom" Lyddane, told the jury she
had caught the defendant and
Mr.. Beall parked in an automo-
bile, and the next day her young
est child was born.
Parked in Driveway
The car, Mrs. Beall testified,
was parked in a driveway next
to the Beall home at barnes
town one night three years ago.
J. McDonough, of Jamestown,
an earlier witness today, told of
seeing Mrs. Lyddane and Mr..
Beall parked in his driveway also.
He lives next door to the Bealls.
Nervously Mrs. Beall told the
court:
at was on the night of June
IL, three years ago, that Arthur
went out of the house and
later 1 went downstairs and
out the back door.
II saw Arthur in Mrs.
Lyddane'S car.
81 watched them for about
ten minutes and then went
around to the front of the car.
"Arthur jumped out of the car
and grabbed me. He asked me
not to make fuss.
canine Lyddane started the
automobile and drove off. She
looked back to see if Arthur was
still holding me and then she
laughed at me-"
TOLD "SLOM" LYDDANE
Mrs. Beall also told the jury of
going to "Slom" Lyddane and tell
ing him of the incident. She said
that at that time Mrs. Lyddane
denied an affair.
The nervous little woman was
not croSS-exami.led by the defense.
Prior to her testimony, the State
had called several witnesses to
tell of having seen Mr.. Beall and
Mrs. Lyddane together at various
times.
A murmur ran through the
crowded courtroom as Chief De
tense Counsel Stedman Prescott,
following completion of the States
case, asked for the courts indul-
gence for moment before the
defense began calling witnesses.
While the babel of confusion
echoed through the Montgomery
county circuit court. Mrs. Lyddane

FARLEY ENDS
IN TRUCE To
JUNE 80
Mine Operators, Workers.
Leaders Agree to Wait
for Guffey Bill
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt interviewed
in the threatening bituminous
strike today, and the 416,00O
miners who were going to quit
work Saturday night probably
will continue On existing wages
until June 80 when the President
expects the Guffey-Snyder coal
wage bill will be law.
President Roosevelt conferred
with John Lewis. president of the
United Mine workers, who had
called the strike; Senator Guffey
Of Pennsylvania; and Representa-.
tive Snyder, also of Pennsylvania,
authors of the bill which enactS
a new MIRA code for the bitumin-
Gus coal industry: Duncan Ken
nedy, who represented the mine
operators and owners, and Major
George Berry, late Of the NRA
and a coal expert.
The conference was held at a
time when the miners, led by their
president, Mr.. Lewis, were ready
for a nationwide wage war. Pres
ident Lewis, who was one of the
chief supporters of MIRA, at his
last visit to the White House de-
clared that all hope for fair deal
ing for mine workers had disap-
reared when the Supreme Court
had outlawed MIRA. Shortly after
that, he had called the soft coal
miners strike because, he said,
there was no use for the men 20
20 to work without some support
for their scale of wages granted
them under the Blue Eagle.

few laid the whole matter before
President Roosevelt. The PreSi-
dent then suggested that in the
public interest, the whole matter
be exended until June 80 and thus

President Roosevelt made this
suggestion because he has been
assured that both houses of Con-
kress will start to work to pass
the Guffey-Snyder bill almost i'm
mediately. Senator Guffey said
that the Senate would take up his
measure as soon as the social Sc
curity bill is out of the way and

HELEN MOODY
IS DEFEATED

BECKENHAM, England, June
IA QN.S0.-In her first defeat
on an English court in years.
Mrs. Helen Wills-Moody stumbled
in her comeback campaign today.
losing in the Semifinals of the
Kent tennis championships to
Katherine Stammers of England,
60, Ga.
Miss Stammers, left-handed
wizard and court tennis cham.
pion Of England, achieved in
this comparatively minor tourna-
ment what many better-known
players failed to do year after
year before Mrs. Moody defaulted
to Helen Jacobs at Forest Hills
in 1888.
Doubt Chance at Wimbledon
The startling upset caused Mrs.
Moody'S stock to drop precipi-
lately and caused experts to
voice doubt over her chances in
the forthcoming Wimbledon tour
nament.
The pace of Miss Stammers'
beautiful forehand drives. and
Mrs. Moody's constant forgetful-
ness that she was facing a left
handed player contributed mainly
to her surprising defeat.
The English girl cleverly used
drop-shots which Mrs. Moody III
variably returned over the base
line. Mrs. Moody had her op.
ponent on the run in the fifth
game of the first set, but the
left-handed star won the game
with a battling drop-Shot.
While the American made many
glaring timing errors in the first
set, she commenced the second
well. She had a better stroke and
the ball was under control, en-
abling her to take the first two
games, but she double-faulted to
lose the third.
Good placements helped her to
lead 81 against service and then
Mrs. Moody won her service to
lead Al. Here Miss StammerS re-
covered and began calling the
tune, racing through the next five
games to win the set and match.
Prior to today's defeat and with
exception of her default to Miss
Jacobs, Mrs. Moody never lost a
major championship in all the
years since she first came forward,
q girl in piptailS.
She won six successive Wimble-
don championships from 1927 to
1888, losing one single set in the
entire performance, and that 20

1898. She won the American
women's title in 1923. 1924, 1925,
1927, 1928. 1929, and 1881. She
had not entered the tournament
in 1926, 1880 or 1882.

be immensely gratified II the report
were correct.
But q larger issue than the fate
of any individual is involved In the
recent strategy of opposition. The
World War brought into existence
an art or science of propaganda which
may be devoted on occasion to worthy
ends, but which. likewise, may be en-
ployed for selfish anti-social pur-
poses. And one of the aspects Of
this new method of molding opinion
is that of sly and cunning vilif1cation
and Justification. The sponsors OF
such attacks, of course, are protected
by the guarantees provided in the
Constitution for the freedom oi
speech and of the press, and there
fore ordinarily are beyond the reach
of punitive correction.
The public, then, it seems, must
either be content to tolerate the null
sance or must cultivate an effective
resistance to it. Some individuals
certainly, are so negative of mind as
to be willing to believe the worst
they hear. The majority, it may be
hoped, are less gullible. Many Of the
most fragrant offenders against popu-
lar intelligence sooner or later are
bound to discredit themselves by
their extravaganza and egotism;
others gradually may learn by ex-
perience the wisdom of reform. Mean
while, the best insurance against
mischief-makers of both types is an
informed public opinion and rational
faculties of discrimination.

An Important Project.
From the Florence (Ala) Times.

From the Florence CAlaO Times.
The special Federal agricultural
census which began throughout the
United States Wednesday is of the
utmost importance to the people
generally and to the success Of the
Presidents recovery program.
So much has happened with respect
to persons returning to the farms in
the past several years as result of
the depression, and so much has been
uprooted by the drought and by the
program of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration that it is i'm
portant for us to have the knowledge
which will be derived from this CEN
sus to bring our national program up
to date.
1t is important therefore for every
farmer in the Nation to cooperate
with the census takers In the ut
most. They should see to it that full
and complete and honest information
Is given the census workers. The in
formation our farmers turn over to
these workers will be used as a basis
for Government legislation later on
and will be kept absolutely inviolate.
Some individual farmer might have
the idea that it is not important
whether he imparts the proper In
formation to the workers or not. The
fact is, however, that correct returns
from every one of the Nations farms
is vitality important II the collective
information obtained thereby Is to
provide the groundwork for the nee
essary legislation and national knowl-
edge that will make our recovery pro-
gram complete.

The Helena (Mont) Independent,

Irresponsible Criticism.

Of those sacred books lived much toe
early to be familiar with the modern
development of irresponsible criti-

have been wicked forces in the ancient

complete manifestation of their evil
power, however, the present age is

It represented only the wish of certain
shady political elements which would
