Britain might consent to a dis
Cussion provided that any colonial
concessions would bring guaran-
tees calculated to contribute to
European peace.
Inclusion of Italy in the anti
Communist alliance has disturbed
the British and French govern
ments alike, and has made them
more eager to reach some general
agreement that would remove the
constant threat of conflict in
Europe. Particularly it was feared
that the anti-C Communist agree
ment might be used as an excuse
to intervene in any selected coun-
try on a plea that Bolshevism was
the enemy. This plea. it was argued,
was used to justify German Italian
Intervention in the Spanish civil
war.
The question was asked here

ATTOR N EYS IN
WRANGLE OVER
K N G'S FATE
Jury Decides He Is Not
Guilty on Charge of
Manslaughter

While attorneys argued
fine points of law, the fate
of NE. King, Monday found
not guilty of manslaughter
by reason of insanity, will hang in
the balance until Wednesday morn
ing.
Judge r. D. McPherrin is sched-
uled to settle the argument We'd
nesday by following one of two
courses declared to be open to him
by prosecution and defense attor-
neys.
The prosecution after Mondays
verdict declared King should go to
thhe Mendicino hospital for the
criminally insane and remain there
for year. At this time, the state
contends, he should be tried again
to establish his sanity or inanity.
Lee Nufrer, defense attorney de-
clared the jurys verdict meant
King was insane at the time he
shot Clayton Franks in Ell Centre
Aug. 10. If the court deems King
still insane, Nuffer contends, he
should be sent to the state hospital.
If the court deems he has recov-
cred his sanity, Nuffer said, he
should be remanded to the custody
of the sheriff until a sanity hear
ing could be held before the county
sanity commission. Nuffer said II
the commission finds King sane, he
should be released. If they find
him insane he should go to the in
Stitution for the insane.
The same jury which late last
month found King guilty of man
slaughter, Monday found him not
guilty by reason of insanity.

around to the time of year when
we snap our fingers in the air
to get them warm instead of wav-
ing them in the breeze to get
them cool, RR lives in daily ex-
pectation of an influx OF stories
such as that of the chap who
built a bonfire behind his cooler,
turned on the fan and heated his
whole house so well that all the
eggs in the refrigerator were
poached.
The Morning After
If the young ladies of the Junior
Ten Thousand club, or a majority
of them, seem to be bit reluctant
about moving rapidly or sitting
hastily for the next few days, you
can blame it on the clubs roller
skating party at Heber Monday
night Highlighting the spills were
falls such as only expert fallerS
could take, with Mrs. G. T. Par
nell the winner by unanimous &C
clamation. as far as RR can learn.
She won by a fall-taking the sec
ond one a matter of seconds after
the first. Among the others who
did the best tumbles were Mrs.
Winston Alderson Mrs. ElGene
HeiSS and Mrs. Dee Percival.
And The Aftermath
Whether Mrs. Everett Admire
spilled at the roller skate gather
ing deponent sayeth not, but 1t
would be interesting to learn If
she did. and-if So-if she bumped
Nthe COW on the highway EN- route
home from the party just by way
of taking revenge. Candor forces
RR to admit that the COW was
very black, that the night was very
black. and that the COW shouldn't
have been on the highway where
no auto lights in the world could
pick it out in time to avoid the col
lision AS it was, Mrs. Admire did
a marvellous job of stopping just
in time to hurt nothing but the
cows feelings-and to give RR a
chance to suggest that farmers
ought to keep their livestock off
the highways.
Time to Celebrate
If RR weren't so broke he'd send
Romeo c. Smith some kind OF a
bouquet, since Romeo's birthday
anniversary came Tuesday, but
that would make it necessary to
do the same for Earl F. Miller
and Ben H. Arkelian, who celebrate
their anniversaries Wednesday-So
we'll just skip it, and send best
wishes.

That's right" said Paul, "but
