off,"
Il asked who he meant" the stout

Why, Margaret and Solomon. I'm in
their way, you know"

that pitted her against her comely
daughter Margaret, who testified for
the prosecution yesterday before
jury qualified to send her model hus-
band" to the electric chair.

split between the mother and daughter

OF the way she was acting" Mrs.
Boehme replied
You succeeded in getting Margaret
discharged"
Yes" The witness said.
This reference was to the time

tary for an accounting firm, where
she worked with Solomon.

 ROCK DUMP SITE
Will Build Stucco Building and High Radio Tow
 CT by June

Contracts will be let within the next few days for the construction of new transmitting station and radio tower for KINY on the Alaska Juneau rock dump, involving an ex- penditure of between $10000 and $15,000, according to Vincent l. Kraft, radio engineer.
 KINY has been authorized to ln- crease it's wattage from 100 to 250 which places it in the regional trans mitting field with right to increase to 5000 watts in the future.
 It is expected that KINY trans- mitting will be done from the new site by the first of June, with no cessa tion in operations. The pres ent studios in the Goldstein Build ing will remain the main studios and will be enlarged and modernized, Kraft said.
 The transmitting station at the rock dump will be concrete-stucco structure one story high. The new tower, to be erected at the end of the dump will be 255 feet high.
 Change in wattage will put KINY at 1430 on the radio dial instead of 1910 kilocycles.
 Work is expected to be started with steamshovels. grading level spot for the station, and pouring concrete for foundations within the next week or two, Kraft said.

BOBBY BREEN
 FEATURE ENDS HERE TONIGHT
Make a Wish," Music al Picture, Playing
 at Capitol

Starring the singing boy actor, Bobby Breen, Make a Wish" plays for the last time in Juneau tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 Bobby is heard in several melodies written by the noted Viennese com poser, Oscar Straus, the outstanding one of the group being the theme song bearing the title of the picture itself. Basil Rathbone, no longer the suave villain, plays a truly TO- mantle role for the first time in his screen career, and contributes a performance which stamps him as a versatile actor of unusual attain ments. The leading feminine role is portrayed by Marion Claire, famous radio singer, who gives every prom ise of future screen stardom. The explosive Italian, Henry Armetta, is vastly humorous in characterize ton that is literally comedy gem Others in the big cast who do es- pecially commendable work are Ralph Forbes, Leon Errol, Donald Meek, Leonid Kinskey and Herbert Rawlinson.
 Much of the action of Make a Wish" adapted from an original story by Gertrude Berg, takes place at boys summer camp in Maine where Bobby forms a close friend ship with Basil Rathbone, a com poser. Rathbone becomes interested in the boys lovely young mother Marion Claire, and romance de- velops between the two, despite her fiance, Ralph Forbes. This tangled situation reaches tensely drama tic climax in her New York home and at the rehearsal of an oper- etta
