the matter arose from
an incident which oc-
CURED last winter while
attending a voice class
at the National Acad-
emy. Our assignment
consisted of several
sentences which were
to be recited, accom-
panied by the proper
gestures. My sentence
was, VILLAGERS, burgh
erS, townsmen all. go
to yonder castle wall
and hear your. king"
With great dramatic
fervor. I recited:
VILLAGERS, burgherS,
townSmen all,
Go to yonder castle
- wall"
My effort was greeted
with bowls of laughter.
Not knowing !Jhe cause,
I again recited it in
the same rhyt h m ic
fashion. The inStruc-
tor finally took pity on
me and explained.

Killer Impassiue as
Judge Reveals
His Fate

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10.
(UP)-Robert S. James to-
day was sentenced to be
hanged for the brutal "rat-
tlesnake murder" of his sew
enth wife, Mary.
The red-haired Romeo barber
was convicted of drowning his
young blonde bride after first
failing to kill her with the bite
of rattlesnake.
Charles Hope, ex-sailor now Serv-
ing a life sentence, testified they
strapped the woman, an expectant
mother, to a kitchen table, and
James showed her bare leg into
box containing buzzing rattle
snake. She was bitten on one toe
but did not die quickly enough to
suit James, so he drowned her
in a bathtub, Hope said.
James paled slightly but main
tanned a stony, impassive coun-
tenance as he heard Superior Judge
Charles w. Fricke doom him to
the galloWs at San Quentin prison.
His lawyers, as last hope, entered
a motion for a new trial on grounds
the prosecution prejudiced the jury
by exhibiting live rattlesnakes in
court. The motion was denied.
Ll,.;o oil nunrriIlnl rio
fense claims that the court erred
in admitting as trial evidence state
testimony charging that James al
so murdered an earlier wife, Vino
ma, in a Colorado tourist camp
several years ago.
Wearing the same natty gray
suit and Brown necktie that he
wore during the recent sensational
trial, James showed by his lack
of emotion that he had steeled
himself against the verdict that
the jury had made mandatory.
He displayed only casual inter-
est when Judge Fricks said solemn
ly:
"It is the judgment of the court
that you, Robert S. James, be
delivered to the sheriff to the state
prison at San Quentin, and that
the warden shall cause you to be
executed and hanged by the neck
until dead in due course Of time
as prescribed by law
This means that James must
be hanged within 80 days after the
state supreme court passes on the
sentence. Such a review is auto
matte under California state law,
although defense attorney Robert
Clark filed formal notice of appeal.
Hope, James accomplice in the
bizarre case, was recently taken
to Folsom prison, usually reserved
for tWo-time offenders, to begin
serving his life sentence.

APPROVAL OF
CITY COUNCIL

Ell Centro city councilmen Thurs
day morning approved a warrant
for $7,194l7 to the A & B Con-

Works administration is providing
a portion of the expense.
