Spray Family From
Oklahoma Seeking
Place To Locate

Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Spray, ac-
companied by their daughters the
Misses Geneva, Jewel, Aleta, Betty
Joe Wanda and June, and their
brother Billie, were in Coolidge,
last Saturday afternoon.
The Sprays are recent arrivals
from Caddo County, Oklahoma, and
are seeking a location. They are
domiciled four miles south and one
mile west of Coolidge. They may
go to Washington or Oregon before
deciding upon a permanent location.
Mr.. Spray is a good farmer and
if some of our citizens who are
interested in getting newcomers To-
Gated in this community will con-
tact him it might get good results.
The Sprays impress The Examiner
as being the sort of folk this sec
tiOn can offer inducements to.

and he succeeded beyond his own
expectations.
Except by word of mouth he did
10 other advertising except that
done in The Examiner; the adver-
t}sement cost him less than three
dollars and attracted $50 men and
women to his sale, who bought and
taught.
Wonderly is getting things in
shape to make his every Saturday
afternoon auction" one of Coolidge's
t;g cards, and The Examiner hopes
in the course of time to welcome
more Wonderly's to Coolidge.
Wonderly is going to hold an
other pubic auction at the same
place next Saturday, and expects
to have more articles to sell and
a greater number Of customers to
buy them. His advertisement ap-
pears again this week on page
eight of The Examiner, and will be
found every week.

that advertising pays" he told The

He related that when the United
States Supreme Court invalidated
the AAA how quickly the farm
organizations, assisted by President
| Roosevelt and others not engaged in
agriculture, came to the rescue and

cotton than could be disposed Of
at a fair price.
He mentioned the strides that
are being made in some of the
European countries for cotton
growing, especially Brazil Argen-
tine and Egypt He also intimated
that a large cotton acreage in
crease in Texas, Oklahoma and
Arizona might" have a demoraliz-
ing effect on the whole cotton
market, since the foreign countries
mentioned are going in for cotton.

as the overproduction of some

WRIGHT PLEA OF
UNWRITTEN Law
KimmeI Partly UnCIad,
Officer Relates

GLENDALE, Cal, Nov. 10.
Startling police testimony came
to the aid today of Paul A. Wright,
38-year-old airport executive, with
statements indicating that
Wright's lovely wife, Evelyn, and
his "best friend" John Kimmel,
were in a most compromising po-
sition when Wright shot them to
death at 4:10 a. m, 10 days ago.
Wright's only defense, his coun-
sci made it plain, will be "the un-
written law"
TRIAL DEC. 6
The wealthy former flier, who
submitted to a sterilization opera
ton so that his wife's life need
not again be imperiled by child
birth, covered his face with hands
and sat shaking in his chair while
a policeman testified that he found
the dying Kimmel with his cloth
ing disarranged and his body
partly exposed.
At the end Of arraignment tes-
timony, Wright, who quixotically
insisted after the crime that he
merely saw his wife and Kimmel
in each others arms, was ordered
held for Superior Court trial on
December 6.
Patrolman Harry w. Reed, thC
first policeman to enter the living
room of the Wrights' spacious
Verdugo Woods home after the
slayer telephoned headquarters,
provetd a star witness for the
prisoner.
The dead woman and her hus-
bands dying friend, he said, were
lying on the floor beside the piano
bench from which they had fallen
when Wright opened fire.
What did Mr.. Wright say?"
asked Attorney Jerry Geisler,
counsel for Wright.
HE yelled, Get that moaning
out Of here'!" Reed re-
sponded.
PARTLY UNCLOTHED
The officer added that Kimmel
was partly unclothed and that the
bodies lay side by side.
Did you hear a conservation
between Wright and the maid?"

Q-Dida YOU hear Mr.. Wright

He called his father in Milwaukee
and said, Father there has been

just as you said it would. I caught
