BALDWIN ASSA|LED
by LABOR MEMBER
Prime Minister'S Methods
Bring Split in Con-
SerVatiVe Ranks.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, June 27.-Liberals and
Laborites talked today of possible
split in conservative ranks over the
patient governmental methods OF
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin.
The object of a scathing public at
tack, the prime minister retired to his
country home after telling schoolboy
audience, Il shall not be here much
longer"
Baldwin was charged by Sir Stat
ford Cripps, Laborite member, with
Lying to the House of Commons" on
air defense matters. His attack fol-
lowed a statement by the Earl of Lon
donderry, former air minister, who
denied he had misled Baldwin on the
progress Of German rearmament.
Shouts Bitter Denunciation.
at remained for one of those air
ministers to tell us that Baldwin was
lying in the House of Commons, Sir
Stafford shouted bitterly in a speech at
Woking.
"Baldwin's sealed lips move was a
trick to make us think a state of af-
fairs existed internationally when in
fact none existed"
Political circles, discussing the ac-
cusation, pointed to the Earl of Lon
donderry's influence among the rank
and file of the Conservative party
among whom are many described as
impatient" over Baldwin's methods.
In a supplementary statement today,
Lord Londonderry said he had no in
tention of attacking Baldwin per
sonaIly or otherwise"
"I merely desire to say the figures
on German rearmament and the rate
of rearmament which / and my ex-
perts obtained and supplied to Prime
Minister Baldwin were approximately
correct"
Newspapers Irritated.
London newspapers showed growing
irritation at the prime minister's ap-
parent lack Of control over personal
statements by his ministers.
"An of them talk loudly at random, -
the Herald asserted, while Baldwin
pays no heed except to emerge now
and again from his lethargy to assure
the country something or other was
not really his fault"
The truth is that the cabinet is
unruled," commented the News
Chronicle. And if the cabinet is un-
ruled, it means the nation is un-
governed, which is a scandal and a
peril"

Why, some sections are as bad as

LOS ANGELES, June 27.-Robert
o. James was pictured by prosecutor
today as an insurance plot slayer
who sought "super-sadistic satisfac-
ton from using goaded rattlesnake
to torture the wife he later drowned.
Deputy District Attorney Eugene
Williams based the accusation on re-
plies made by Charles Hope in cross
examination before the trial was ad-
3ourned yesterday for the week end.
Hope, a former sailor who pleaded
guilty to a murder charge in the
death of Mrs. Mary James, clung
steadily to the story Of torture and

containing rattlesnake poison crystals
some time before the death OF the
red-haired BARRIERS seventh wife last
August. He said James profeSsed dis
interest in the deadly substance and
ordered him to get some live snakes.
Hope collapsed twice in the witness
chair as he told of James putting
the woman'S bare leg into box with
q rattlesnake while she lay roped to
q breakfast table and later drowning
her.
Referring to the witneSs's reply on
James rejecting the crystals, Prose-
cutor williams said: This disclosure
sheds true light on James motive and
behavior in our opinion.
Calls Him Super Sadist.
I'VE charge that in addition to seek
ing the $4,000 insurance on his wife's
life. James sought to achieve a super
sadistic satisfaction by means of the
rattlesnake attack"
Hope testified he obtained the poison
crystals from a Long Beach snake
dealer to whom James sent him.
"I took the bottle up to James
and told him what was in it," Hope
related. "He said he wasn't inter
ested and for me to get him some good
snakes"
He said James jumped in TERROR of
the snakes.
The witness wife, Florence. testified
Hope was white, jittery and had been
drinking" when he returned home.
