AFRICAN SITUATION
FAIRLY STABLE

There also was new talk of
SPANS joining the axis military
pact.
The situation in Africa appeared
to be fairly stable for the moment
and the British display confidence
in their ability to handle the Nazi
threat. The besieged garrison at
Tobruk was reinforced with Indian
troops, apparently by sea.
Rome reported that British
troops attempted To land and
attack Bardia, but were driven
off with heavy losses.
Jan Yindrich, United Press staff
correspondent with the British at
Tobruk, reported in another ex-
elusive dispatch that friction ap-
peared TO be developing between
the German and Italian forces at
lacking Tohruk. He said Italian
prisoners complained of their Ger
man allies and that German tanks
on one occasion fired on Italian
troops.

T. Mumforde, 20-year-old colored
cook. on trial charged with the
murder of Fannie Cohen. 81. dress
shop operator at 1912 U street NV,
was read TO the jury IN District

According to the alleged confess
sion, Mumforde said he went into
the dress shop last February to
get some money, but that he had
no intention of killing the woman
and that he used the gun to get
some easy money"
Detective Sergt. Aubrey M. Tolson
testified that Mumforde. in a con-
alton on the train bringing him
back to Washington from North
Carolina, admitted the crime to him,
prior to making the alleged confess
sion at police headquarters.
Mumforde fired but one shot. the
witness said the defendant told him,

the woman's pockets after shooting
her, but instead left and went TO a
nearby cafe. Soon thereafter, he
drove a car south for a man, Num-
forde was quoted by the detective as
saying. Mumforde first went 10
South Carolina and then to Rock
ingham. N. c.. said Mr.. Tolson. de-
claring that the defendant told him
the reason he did not confess the
crime in North Carolina was that
he was afraid he might be lynched

tilted for police the same gun used
in the killing and this weapon. as
well as bullets were placed in evil
