The courthouse was in confusion
when they reached it. The corridors
were full of commotion and whisper
ing voices. Even the lawyers were in

been committed at the judges home.
Lefty Stoneham was back in her cell,
forgotten in the fever of a new and
more dramatic crime.
Suspicion Of Bremner was mounting
by the minute. The newspapers had
been checking up on him in town,
working faster than the police. Their
morgues had disgorged columns Of
copy about him, all of the playboy
order: His name had frequently been
linked with that of some fashionable
girl, but he had escaped marriage and
had had only one minor breach Of
promise suit. 1t was clear. however,
that he had all the doubtful facets Of
the social racketeer.
1t was late evening before Bremner
appeared at the courthouse. He found
himself wedged in by the press but
he knew how to handle the situation
and made no attempt to dodge the
issue. He listened attentively to all
questions, said he knew nothing, alb
solutely nothing, about the shooting,
and was appalled, by what had hap

DALLAS, Tex. Considerable
agitation has been caused by the
plan of the Federal Housing author
itv to locate a unit of 600 homes,
costing three million dollars, in one
of the oldest sections of the city.
Homeowners in this section hove led
vigorous protest against the raz-
ing of this district which includes a
considerable number of first-class
houses. Many Dallas leaders have
ageed that a better location could
be found in other outlying sections
which at the present time are un-
improved and that would lend itself
to slum clearance in a larger and
more constructive way.
Munger Avenue Baptist Church,
Rev. Bernard Byrd, pastor, was
among the oiginal objectors to the
plan. The church, which is one of
the most progressive in the city,
would be forced to move with the
parsonage to another location, to
which many Of the members object
