Guest at Dinner Purty
On Night of Murder
Testifies for Defense
BY JANE EADS,
Associated Press staff Writer.

NASSAU, Bahamas, Nov. 6.-Six-
teen-year-old Betty Roberts believes
Alfred de Marigny is innocent of
the Staying of Sir Harry Oakes. and
went to the witness today to help
him prove it.
She made striking picture in her
green and white sports frock and
white hat atop hair of pale gold as
she asserted the defendant was at
home during critical hours on the
night of July 7-8 when Sir Harry
was slain.
Then. having told her story earn
estly, though nervously she went
to her job as a cashier at a theater
and sold tickets to long lines of
NassauvianS who flocked to see the
featured western thriller.
Betty had been a guest at De
Marigny's cottage that night. She
related that she and her fance,
Marquis Georges de Visdelou, went
upstairs to his apartment about
1l:30 and fell asleep, he in his bed
and she on couch
She told of being aroused bv a
knock on the door and hearing
Georges talk in French to De
Marigny. She did not see De
Marigny, she testified, but recog-
nlzed his voice. Georges looked at
her watch and discovered it was
1:30 o'clock.
De Marigny was in the house
when Georges took her home about
3 o'clock, she related.
She was firm under cross-exami-
nation and showed spirit when Spe-
clal Prosecutor A. F.. Adderley said:
L suggest to you that after YOU
went upstairs you went to sleep and
did not awaken until nearly 3
o'clock"
Betty responded swiftly:
Il deny that"
She was a center of attention as
she awaited her turn as witness
and wondered if her nose was shiny.
She said she hadn't had time to put
on her makeup.
III not AFRAID, Sne declared. but
naturally nervous at the stares of
the crowd and the questions"
She referred to the questioning of
De Marigny by Attorney General
Eric Hallinan, during which the
prosecutor implied Miss Roberts and
the Marquis de Visdelou shared an
apartment. She denied this on the
witness stand and said she lived at
home with her mother.
That's why I'd like to leave
Nassau, though was born and lived
here all my life" she said.
Someone in the group remarked
that she looked like little girl.

NASSAU, Bahamas, Nov. g.
Careful defense timing sent
jurors trying Alfred de Marigny
on murder charges into a week
end recess today Immediately
after an attack on Harold G.
Christies testimony that he
slept all night at Sir Harry
Cakes estate the night the
wealthy baronet was hit on the
head and left to die in a blazing
bedroom.
Still echoing in the Bahamas Su-
preme Court chamber as the third
week of the trial ended were the
words of Capt. Edward Sears of the
Nassau police, who swore that he
saw Mr.. Christie downtown in
station wagon just before midnight
July 7.
Moving swiftly once the accused
son-in-law had finished his lengthy
denial of the charge against him,
defense lawyers brought out pretty
blond to bolster his alibi and
friend to combat one of the points
in the Crowns case.
Sears Closely Questioned.
Then, with an eye on the clock.
Chief Counsel Godfrey Higgs called
on Capt. Sears to dispute the story
OF Mr.. Christie, who SWore that
he remained overnight in a bedroom
near Sir Harry's and found his
friends body when he went to
awaken him for breakfast July 8.

minutes before midnight July T."

AS I passed I saw the Hon. H.

was not driving"
Capt. Sears conceded that it was

site direction, but he replied to

American troops have
burst through the first nat

Galore river at captured Benevento,
and the British Eighth army has
turned the Nazi flank for a 16-mile
gain on the Adriatic coast by a

The breach in the Galore river
line threatened the left wing of the
German force fighting stubbornly
along a line from the coast immed-
lately north of Naples to the area
of Benevento 35 miles to the n,'rth-
east. s -ss
The American dash through Ben
evento caught the Germans flat
footed. Before they could get set
for the impact, they were hurled
across the Galore, which with the
Volturno to the west comprises the
natural line along which they were
expected to undertake their first
stand after losing Naples.

But the prospects for change were
enhanced by the fall of Benevento
and the resulting danger to the

The Eighth army's amphibious
swing up the Adriatic coast carried
the landing party into nest of
fierce German resistance at Ter

CAPITALIZED forces were firmly in
control of Finschhafen and the
entire 7,000-square-mi Huon pen
insula today after a 93-day cam
paign that weakened the Japanese
hold on all New Guinea, and a
spokesman for Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur declared that he would dc
more in the next half-year "if they
give Us the means to do it
Australian veterans of the mid
die east desert campaigns stormed
and captured Finschhafen Satur-
day, II days after their surprise
landing on the coast six miles
north of the seaport. They killed
100 Japanese marines in the final
assault.
A second Australian force snap
ped off the enemy grip on the New
Guinea coast between Finschhafen
and Madang, l65 miles to the
northwest, with an overland drive
up the Markham river valley that
outflanked all the Japanese coastal
positions south of Madang.
The victory, coupled with the
mid-September conquests of Lac
and Salamaua, put MacArthur's
troops aStride the 70-mile wide
Dampier straits separating New
Guinea from New Britain, site of
the enemy's main southwest Pacific
stronghold of Rabaul.
I'VE have established ourselves
in a magnificent position and one
that will ultimately imperil the
japanese basis on the north coast
of New Guinea, including Madang
and Wewak," Brig-Gen. Charles H.
Willoughby, MacArthur's intelli-
gence chief, told a press confer
ence.
Willoughby revealed that the

best part of five or six enemy di-
visions at relatively light cost to
themselves.
He paid tribute to the gallantry
of the Australian troops who bore
the brInt of the offensive, and to
the textbook classic" tactics en-
ployed by Macarthur which pre-
vented the Japanese from concen,
trating their superior strength.
NEED MORE MEN
However, he said, there is a
manpower shortage. We can't use
these units to the point of exhaus-
ton. Give us more and we will do
more"
Willoughby conceded that Mac
Arthur now has a balanced strik-
ing force at his disposal but insist
ed that 1T is not decisive"
He avoided question as to the
extent to which future operations
would depend upon reinforcements
and supplies from the United
States, but asserted that the cam
paign just concluded will set the
pattern for the next six or seven
months if the men and material
are available.
Willoughby said that Macarthur
successfully tricKed the Japanese
into committing their main defen-
sive forces in the Salamaua area
and then struck a double flank
ing" blow against Lac, 25 miles to
the north.
The Japanese command then be-
gan to move reinforcements down
the Ramu and Markham river val
leys in an effort to salvage their
position at Lac, but the Austral-
ians rushed small forces up the
Markham Valley and then flew in
supporting troops who arrived in
time to block the enemy move.
The entire operation, Willoughby
said, involved split-second timing.

Stop Whining. Run Lives.
Evan HeMes Tells Farmers

American agriculture is doomed
and farmers face a future as sub
sidized peasants unless they get rid
of their self pity and fight off the
strangle- of the bureaucrats, y
Evan Hewes, bureau director, told
Farm Bureau directors at meet
ing in Ell Centro Saturday.
you're asking for that future as
subsidized peasants unless you stop
whining and drifting into state
where you cannot run your own
lives. The farmers of America are
lost and doomed if they fail to take
their rightful place, have the cour-
age to demand aid get what they
know they must have for their prod
uctS."
GO OUT OF BUSINESS
Farmers can get the best of the
bureaucrats and meddlers by going
out of business" President Baxter
Lovlenad said. IF they keep inter-
fering with farmers, we can stop
raising stock and crops until they
stop this nonsense"
These were the most sizzling of
series of sizzling talks directors
directed toward each other.
Ralph Congreve started the fire
works.
"Other people help farmers" "
Congreve said, but farmers never
help themselves. Farmers aren't any
more unified than they were in
1900. We don't pull together, we're
always on the defensive. Let's get
on the offensive. Let's don't sit

on farm products. We always have
taken it on the chin and always
will unless we do something about
it ourselves. We must have a price
giving us the cost of doing business
plus a reasonable profit"
PROHIBIT CEILINGS
c. O. Hoober, state vice-president,
said efforts are being made to get
congress to pass legislation to pro-
hibit any federal agency from fix
ing a ceiling price on any farm
product at less than cost of prod
uction plus a reasonable profit.
The directors started their self
analysis when someone suggested
the annual Farm Bureau dues be
raised from Sc to $3.50 a year. After
lambasting each other they finally
decided to let the farm centers de-
eide about the dues. The increase
on each membership, if adopted,
would be used in a campaign to
educate the farmers and the rest
of the county about the farmer and
his accomplishments.
