Miss Her|ihy Faces
Attempts 10 Break
Self-Defense Story
Defendant Tells Jury
Copt. Carr Was Berserk
Threatened Her Life
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BISBEE, Ariz., Dec. 19.-Margaret
Herllhy returned to the witness
stand today to face a cross-exam-
ination attack on her story that
she shot and fatally wounded Capt.
David Carr after he inexplicably
went berserk and attempted to
choke her to death.
The case was expected to go to
the jury this afternoon.
The red-haired defendant, weep
Ing but struggling for composure,
related to tense jury on direct
examination that the handsome Of
nicer she loved so desperately sud-
denly turned into a bestial creature
whose hands clawed at her throat
Love At First Sight.
1t was love at first sight when
She and Capt. Carr met at Fort
Huachuca last May 10, she said.
Tragedy began unfolding, she testi-
ned, when, under the influence Of
liquor pressed on her by Capt. Carr,
she went through a Mexican mar
rage ceremony. She was 81, he n,
After another visit to Aqua Prieta,
Sonora, Mexico, on the night Of
August IA, when they happily
planned a church wedding, Mar
garet said Capt. Carr stopped the
automobile near the Douglas air.
port.
Then" she related tearfully,
with no rhyme nor reason he came
lunging for me and put his hands
around my throat and said he was
going to kill me.
He was making beastly noises.
He would say foul words and mutter
and say he was going to kill me.
1t was just like fighting with q
beast"
After falling out of the car and
fighting some more, she said, Capt.
Carr pulled her back into the auto
mobile and drove of, all the while
pummeling her.
Runs Into House.
GAS we drove into the driveway of
my home" Margaret related, IT ran
into the house as fast as I could.
He was coming right after me. I
went to the drawer of my dresser
where dad had left a pistol I
thought could stop him before he
could kill me. The rest was blank
from there on.
Mother asked me what was 60
ing on and she wanted to know II
1t was joke. I was trying to tell
her that was fighting for my life,
that he was beating me and trying
to kill me. Somehow or other, she
had hold of me trying to make me
drop the gun. I told her not to do
that. He lunged for me and the
gun went off"
The bullet struck Capt. Carr in the
neck, inf1icting mortal wound. He
already had been shot in the chest.
Defense Counsel Frank Thomas
has commended throughout the case
that Capt. Carr shortly before the

AT the same time, man who plunges
into war investments must take care so
he will not lose everything at the close
of the war. In the case of the lead
producer who enjoys wartime profit,
his market is going to go back to pre-
war levels, without doubt Unless he
has developed some ore containing
other minerals of postwar market
value, he is going to lose his invest
ment. But should an operator develop
veins of ore containing gold, as an ex-
ample, he will face the future with no
uncertainty for, Herr Hitler notwith-
standing, gold will always be exchange
able for goods and commodities. If
man could buy an ore vein containing
100000 tons of ore known to assay $40
per ton, he could make no better invest
ment He would be sure of his future.
He would be able to do his share in
the rehabilitation of the world. He
might not be very rich but he would
have security in comparison with those
who will have made no preparations for
the inevitable future.
The man who, unable to Join the
armed forces, quit his job and spent
his time cheering departing soldiers, did
nothing for his country and, in fact,
became a liability. The future offers a
somber picture for those who are not
doing something for themselves NOW
at time when they can be an asset
to their country as we'll as to them
selves.
The alternative of buying a vein of
blocked-out ore is in the purchase of
land which is capable of producing new
wealth. This is a rich country because
of its production of new wealth 1t will
be rich country in the future only if
the production of new wealth continues.
Thus, if man turns his attention to
sources of future production of new
wealth, he will not go wrong.
No man can make a mistake in buy
ing piece of farm land at present low
prices. 1t will profit him proportionate-
ly to its possible future yield. If it is
rich, irrigated land, it may produce $50
an acre per year from sugar beets. If
it is good Montana wheat land it may
yield $40 to $50 an acre in favorable
years. If it is grazing land it still offers
profitable yield in raising cattle and
sheep. 1t is said that Secretary Ickes,
although very busy man, invests his
money in a farm on which he is raising
pigs. Many others are turning their at
tention to investments of a permanent
nature-not to hectic stock market
gambling
If man is to invest his funds in
something that will still be an asset

himself in position TO get the maximum
yield from his investment If he is buy
ing land, he should have the land that
will not become a liability-not ex-
hausted land, but property which may
become more valuable.
Virgin lands of the western states
offer the greatest promise in this re-
gard. Lands that may some day be ir-
rigated offer speculative value Great
est speculative value is found in lands
that may produce petroleum.
How can one buy lands with any as
surance that they may produce pc
troleum?
Oil accumulates in underground traps
known as Structures" which can be
mapped from the flexures on the earth's
surface Hundreds of such structures
exist in Montana-have been mapped
by competent biologists and have not
been disproven by the drill. They may
produce in present producing horizons
or may produce in the Devonian or
other lower horizons. So long as farm
is located on one of these structures
in known petroliferous territory, it is
a potential "oil farm" We need only
glance at the record of such farms
which have been drilled and proven for
oil to know that there are opportunities
for many fortunes in Montana.
These potential oil lands can be pur-
chased today at very low prices.
We have been devoting our energies
to compile a list of the most promising
of these structures and in turn find the
available farms within the top contours.
Oddly enough, many of these landown-
ers do not appreciate the oil POSSIBLE
tiles Thus we can occasionally buy
potentially rich oil farm for the amount
of unpaid taxes or the amount of an
unpaid mortgage. We frequently get
potential oil land at the normal price
of grazing land. On several occasions
we have held lands for a while and
then sold the surface for enough to re-
tire our investment, leaving us with the
mineral rights which may make for
tune.
The word Safety" has been pretty
we'll eliminated from investment YER
bage. but in all the world we can see
no investment that is safer than the
purchase of low-price virgin lands on
known oil and gas structures. The sue
cesses in the past prove the potential
tiles for the future.
We are glad to send to inquirers data
and information regarding available
lands, many of which are located on
structures mapped by the United States
Geological Survey.

With the piling up of public debt
attendant to the greatest war eXpendi
lures in the history of the world, it be-
comes more and more apparent that the
theory that the government will take
care of everyone i'll years to come is
out for this generation.
The idea had grown that the man out
of a job need not worry-the govern
ment would provide WPA or PWA
employment, or unemployment compen-
sation
He need not prepare for his old age
because his social security or old age
pensions would care for him.
Why save? Why invest Why at
tempt any new enterprise?
Unthinking men still have this view
There are still many who talk in terms
of old age pensions after the war
Little do they realize what after the
war" means to the person not in the
military. When six or eight million job
less men step out of uniforms, without
funds, each feeling, rightfully, that his
country owes him the right to make a
living, if not food and clothing, THEN
unthinking ones will realize that the
days of living off the government
are at an end.
Thinking people know that while
their first duty is to their nation-to
buy Defense Bonds and support the
Red Cross and other agencies which
carry on the war-there is greater nee
essity than ever that each person shall

income to meet the staggering demands
of the tax burden this year and in years
to come The only way this $13oOOO,
100000 of federal indebtedness can be
paid is by taxing the people of the
United States. Unless the people of the
United States can produce more wealth,
they will not have the money to pay
these taxes.
1t follows that people should be turn
ing their attention toward development
of new enterprises and new sources of
income. The mining of lead, zinc and
copper offer great opportunity to the
investor, as compared with gold and
silver mining which has made the great
fortunes of the past. 1t is no crime to
attempt to make a profit-otherwise
the government would not be giving
high incentive to the great nanufactur-
ers who are turning out war materials,
each taking profits that dwarf the top
figures of World War No. / The gov
ernment takes back much Of these prof
its in income taxes-and well and good.
There is none who is not willing and
glad to pay high income taxes when
he has made more money with which
to pay them.
