SLAVEWOMAN'S HAND.

with counsel in his own behalf
inspected Miss Jones' hands Fitz-
gerald holding them in his and
giving them a thorough going over
Mrs. Ingalls, declined the invi-
tation to see them, saying, mo
I have seen them often enough
NO COMMENT
Judge Weinberger remarked: 81
don't want comment, but you have
right to see them"
From the press table, the hands
seemed gnarled, the knuczles. big
and bulging, the fingers, while
normal in length, appeared twist
ed like those of someone suffer
ing from advanced rheumatism
The palms were rough.
Most of the day was occupied
with the testimony of Mrs. Ruth
CaStendyck of Chicago, eldest
daughter of Mrs. ingalls, by he1
first marriage to Walter Harmon
who seduced Miss Jones, according
to testimony in this case.
Like her younger sister, Mrs
Helen Roberts of Berkeley, who
had testified earlier in the trial
Mrs. CaStendyck told of frequent
abuse and intimidation of Miss
Jones by Mrs. ingalls,.
She testified that on one Oc.
caSiOn, when she had given Miss
Jones a pair of shoes for Christ
mas, Mrs. Ingalls, told her that
she had spoiled the whole fam
lily Christmas. Mrs. Ingalls,, &C
cOrding to her daughter, said
she did not want Miss Jones to
have such shoes, but wanted hel
to wear sneakers "aS they would
not scratch the floor"
Mrs CaStendyck said she hao
often heard her mother abuse
Miss Jones loudly, calling her g
murderesS, adulteress, degenerate
and pervert, and threatening her
with damnation, Imprisonment OF
confinement to an insane asylum
NO MOVIES
She confirmed earlier testimony
that Miss Jones never got a day
off, was not permitted to go tC
church, and that her mother, in
her presence, had told Miss Jones
that movies were no good for her
According to this testimony, Mrs
ingalls, told Miss Jones: 81
(movies) is bad for you, and you
don't get your work DONE"
When court opened this morn
ing, Mrs. ingalls, face was red
and tear-Stained. After court went
into session, she wept, held her
head in her hand, and turned pa
thetically to newspaper reporter
asking MIN to fetch her a fresh
drink of water. "This water is
dirty" she said, pointing to the
pitcher before her.
Mrs. ingalls, again bowed her
head and sobbed when her daught-
er took the stand. For the first
half hour of Mrs. Castendyck's
testimony, she had difficulty ir
controlling herself together suf.
ficiently to raise her head, but
kept a handkerchief to her eyes
The daughter testified calmly
and with conviction. She spoke
rapidly, never looking at hel
mother. -.

Negro High
School To
Open In Fall
Separate Educational
Plant Planned At
11-Mile Corner Camp

From Casa Grande Dispatch
A negro high school, for the
education of Casa Grande and Eloy
colored students, is scheduled for
definite opening this fall in build
ings at the 11-Mile Labor Camp
Plans for the school were made
public yesterday by Gale c. Smith,
superintendent of Casa Grande
Union High School.
In a reversal of previous de-
cision to accept negro students
here this fall, the high school
board of trustees voted Tuesday
July 1, to join with Eloy school
authorities in establishing the sep
crate institution at the labor camp
Smith said a number of appli-
cations from negro teachers are
already on file. The faculty will
be selected by Smith and Horace
Chesley, superintendent of the
Eloy Grammer School.
Operating expenses of the new
school likewise will be shared by
Eloy and Casa Grande schools,
but the exact details have not yet
been worked out.
Smith said no firm agreement
has been reached for use of the
government-owned 11-Mile Corner
buildings, although school author
tiles have been assured they will
be made available.
It is planned to develop a teach
ing staff and curriculm that will
give negro students at 11-Mile
Corner equal educational oppor-
tunities with white pupils in other
country schools ~ -44--.~4g
Facilities at the, camp include
a kitchen for use by home econom-
les classes and an auditorium which
may be converted into a gymnas-
ium. Facing auxiliary rooms will
be used for classrooms.
A fully equipped woodworking
shop is already in use at the camp.
Students from Casa Grande and
Eloy are to be transported to and
from their communities by school

It is intended to have the negro
high school ready for full opera

SAN DIEGO, July 1O-FOr the
second day today, the gnarld, toll
worn hands of Dora Jones for
time occupied the center of atten-
tion at the slavery trial court
drama.
Defense counsel for Mr.. and Mrs
Alfred Ingalls,, wealthy Massachu-
setts Socialites accused of keeping
Miss Jones enslaved, were ap-
parently shaken by the simple
prosecution device of exhibiting the
58-year-old Negro maids hands to
the jury yesterday.
Today, Clifford Fitsgerald, de-
fense attorney, returned to those
hands, specifically the large bulg-
ing knuckles.
He asked Miss Jones whether
the knuckles had not been en-
larged because of chillblains she
suffered as a child in Athens
Alabama. She replied from chill
blainS.
SEARCH SCOTCHED
He then suggested that perhaps
the knuckles became enlarged
when she helped her father,
bricklayer, lay bricks.
mo-, she said, I never picked
up that many bricks.
Mrs. Betty Graydon, assistant
u. S. attorney, scotched this
speculative bent when, on redirect
examination, she asked Miss Jones:
did you have those large muckles
when you went to work for Mrs
Ingalls, ?"
NO." Miss Jones replied.
The hands were injected into
the trial as an exhibit rather sud-
denly yesterday afternoon. In the
course of routine questioning OF
Miss Jones about the work she
had done for the Ipgalls, Mrs
Graydon asked Miss Jones to STEP
from the witness stand to show
her hands to the jury. %
Mrs. GraydOn commented that
the jury then could decide wheth.
er those were the hands of "a
member of the family" or the
hands of a slave.
The defense objected, but Fed
eral Judge Jacob Weinberger ruled
that the hands could be shown the
jurors, but that no comment could
be made on them by the prosecu-
ton.
THE JURY SEES
Miss Jones then decended from
the witness stand, walked to the
jury box, and, her palms up, moved
sowly past the jurors. From the
press table, at the opposite end OF
the court room, it seemed that
some of the jurors leaned forward
or reached out to examine the
hands more closely.
After this silent performance
Fitzgerald arose and said the de-
fense had a right to see the hands
which were a prosecution exhibit
Miss Jones started to move in his
direction, with the apparent in.
tention of showing him her hands
but the judge stopped her, anG
told defense counsel that if they
wished to see the hands they coulc
come to her.

point between the Ford company
and union leaders, regarding the

The Taft Hartley law will. at
first, be considered by d commit
tee of four, two representing the
Ford company and two the union
for period of three months. If
they do not reach an agreement
by the end of that time, then they
will choose a fifth man to serve
on the committee in an effort to
settle the disputed point.
1t was further agreed that. if
the committee of five docs not
reach an agreement in three
they are to continue their
conference for six months longer,
if necessary. If at the end of
year from today an agreement is
not reached, the union reserves
the right to strike on the qucs-
ton.

extremely fortunate in having
the services of DR.. McIntire in
launching this program, Hamp-
ton commented. His long and
outstanding career in safeguard
ing the health OF the U. S. Navy,
and his familiarity with the
blood plasma program of the Red

to make him an ideal choice for
this important task. AS a ma
tional leader in his field. DR..
McIntire has the complete con-
fidence of the medical profess
sional hospital authorities.
1T is realized that a program
of the magnitude will require
three to five years before it's

entire citiznship of the nation.
Under DR.. MyIntire's leadership
and guidance this new activity is
assured of reaching every COM

! For months, the Red Cross,
Hampton was informed, must

jury cases. The major part OF
the $2,000,000 expenditure will
! be for medical-nursing care and
for rebuilding and repair OF

has made necessary an expendi-
ture of at least $375,000 for
building and repair alone, and
several hundred thousand dol
lars for medical care, replacing
of household furnishings, farm
supplies and equipment.
"At Texas City major Red

eating committee, demanded of

ing held, if he. Meyer, had pro

Meyer replied that he didn't
"like that word"
Roosevelt repeated the ques-
ton in another form, and Meyer
iagain evaded by remarking that
all he was positive of was that
he had spent money to entertain
Elliott Roosevelt and his friends.
"How many?" Roosevent de-
manded.
Twenty or thirty
But Meyer did not answer the
question first put to him, and
Roosevelt repeated it d third
time, without obtaining d salts
factory answer. He then, turning
to members of the committee,
declared he resented the implica-
ton that any girls were enter
tanned for him and also any i'm
plication that entertaining him
in any way influenced him in
doing anything for Hughes in
getting the government airplane
contract for $40 million.
Latest word from California,

that Hughes had completely
disappeared" 1t was said that a
