DUMAS THRILLER
CLOSES TONIGHT
ATCApIT0L SHOW

Robin Hoods son showed up in
Sherwood Forest recently and he
turned out to be just as dashing a
swashbuckler as his colorful sire. In
fact, the chip off the old block turn
ed out to be a couple OF swash-
bucklers. The multiplication was
due to the fact that the son, who
is Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., was play
ing the famous twins of Dumas ro-
mantic thriller, The Corsic a n
Brothers" which shows for the last
time tonight on the Capitol screen.
The picture was made in hun
dred-acre glade of giant live oaks
some fifty miles from Hollywood, a
location called Sherwood Forest, ever
since Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., chose
it as the spot for filming one OF
his greatest hits, Robin Hood"
Doug, Jr., Immediately felt at home
in the forest-not only because his
father christened the location, but
because he was playing a sword
fighting, wall-scaling role which his
father too would have enjoyed to
the hilt. The feminine lead is Ruth
Warrick, and featured in the cast
are AKIN Tamiroff, John Emery
and j. Carroll Mash.

Is Cancelled
(By William Cathey)

The treacherous Japs and barbaric,
savage and inhuman Germans have
dealt Junior Colleges another serious
blow in athletics as the result of in
voking war upon the United States.
They have caused the cancellation Of
this years Mississippi State Junior
College basketball tournament for
boys. Activity for the girls was
suspended at the close of the 1871
season, much to the surprise and
disappointment of hundreds Of fans.
BY strange coincidence, the
Holmes Junior College sextet of the
1910 campaign and the quintet Of
the 1912 session will remain the
defending title holders until the
crown is wrested from them. Coach
Frank Branch's lassies whipped a
powerful Moorhead six, Al to 40, to
annex the diadem at Laurel, while
the Incompatible Russell set bis
tering pace at scooba last season as
the Bulldogs grabbed the deciding
tilt, AZ to SO, from resurgent

cess of Coach Branch's squads in
the past. In annexing the laurels
in 1941 the group had an amazing
record of rs wins as compared to
a single loss.
Since the hardwood action began
back in 1928, the Holmes boys have
captured the bunting three times,
Moorhead on four occasions, Poplar
vile three times, Ellisville and 5000
ba twice and Decatur once. The
Wesson misses have been the win
ners on seven occasions, a remark

Powers said.
After they got around to the Jail
DR.. w. B. Hyde came. DIR. Hyde, on
the witness stand, said he dressed
and treated the wound and put four
or five clamps in the cut place on
Browns head. He also said he de-
tected the odor of intoxicants on
Browns breath but that he was
standing up.
Zeb Guess testified that he "smeN-
ed beer or something on Brown but
that he walked and talked alright
and he wouldn't say he was drunk.
He also said Brown was bleeding
freely
Howard testified that he saw
Brown next morning about nine
o'clock at the Jail but could not
rouse him and again at IL 100 when
he took another prisoner out. He
was unconscious then and also when
Walter Murtagh, Pickens Marshal,
friend of the Brown family hap
pened to pass through Durant Sun
day afternoon about one o'clock
and learned young Brown was in
Jail Murtagh made bond for the
boy and sent him home with Jim
Powers in their car. Murtagh said
he tried to talk to Brown but could
not rouse him so he washed the
blood off his face and sent him
home.
Arriving at the Brown home in
Ebenezer about $3.50 Sunday after
noon after being summoned by the
family, DR.. C. H. Ingram, Pickens
physician said he realized Brown was
in a dying condition and immediate
ly got him to the Community Hos
pital in Lexington. He said the boy
was having one convulsion after an
other, that he was suffering from
shock, was completely unconscious
AID the right side of his face was
paralyzed. He said that the boy
died from large blood clot on the
left side of the brain caused from
the wound on his head.
The State argued that the arrest
of Brown was unlawful, that death
was caused by the wound lick on the
head which caused hemmorage Of the
brain and that there was malice in
the arrest therefore Howard was
guilty of murder, that he was the
as gressor. They asked the court
tn he be remained to jail without
bend.
Mr. Johnson, attorney Cor the de-
fe ndant, argued that Howard was
ac ing in self-defense in hitting
Brown, that even an officer making
ar unlawful arrest has the right of
Sc defense. He said that if the
co9rt found him guilty OF murder
there wouldn't be an officer in the
ST.. e anywhere who could with safe
ty make an arrest He said an of
ficcr has the right to use force if
necessary to make an arrest. He
asked for the defendant to be dis
charged without bond.

Some of the finest stars in Junior

Goodman. Louis lAdair's incredible
