WE HOPE the B. U. study
conclusions will advocate a new
outlook and program of toler-
ance and truth. Some ancient
text book and conceptions OF
races certainly belong in the
scrap heap even IL it hurts the
EXCLUSIVE folks who think
they own the world
THE PEOPLE, regardless of
race and creed, are thinking
more and more about Unequal
tiles. Cclored men without a
triaD have been lynched for al
legged crimes, other men have
elaborate trials to gain their
freedoms. One coIored man has
to sue even to gain the right to
STUDY LAW. And so it goes.

State Offers RebufaI
To Defense Story in
0vereII Murder Trial
by the Asseeiated Press

SANTA ANA, Calf, Sept. 49,
The Overell murder trial prosecu-
tion today offered rebuttal against
all the key points made by the de-
fense in behalf of heiress Louise
Overell and George (Bud Gollum
charged with numbering her par
ents.
The defense high lighted its case
yesterday by producing a surprise
witness who testified that a So
pound box of dynamite was found
In the garage at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Walter e. Overell, the VIC
tins whose bodies were found
aboard their yacht after the craft
was blown up last March Is.
r. H. Sandon, Santa Ana private
investigator, testified that Is days
after the Overells were killed he
discovered 143 sticks Of blasting
powder in a wooden box in one of
the garages of the palatial Overell
estate at suburban Flintridge. Pre-
viously 1T was testified that such a
box normally contains 1875 sticks
of %-inch dynamite.
Nine Sticks Were Used.
Defense witnesses have estimated
that the two holes blown in the
bottom of the Overen yacht, the
May E, were caused by nine sticks
of 40 per cent dynamite. Thirty
three unexploded sticks of dyna-
mite were found in the engine room
of the yacht.
Gollum has testified that he was
asked by Mr.. Overell to buy some
dynamite for him and to keep the
purchase secret. The youth told the
jury earlier this week that he and
Louise then went to Chatsworth,
Calf, on March IA, the day before
the tragedy, purchased so pounds Of
dynamite and delivered it to the
Overen home. Gollum said that
was the last he saw of the dynamite
The defense rested its case with
the final testimony about the dyna-
mite yesterday and Prosecutor Eu-
gene Williams Immediately put on
three rebuttal witnesses.
Housekeeper Testifies.
The Overell housekeeper, Mrs.
Mary Pritchett; Mrs. Claire van
Swoll, neighbor, and Sheriff Capt.
Tom McGaff all testified that they
searched the premises, including
the garage, on March % and %
without finding the dynamite box
that Mr.. Sandon said he found in
the garage March 80.
Mr.. Sandon testified that he went
to the Overell garage on instruc-
tions Of Louise's lawyer, Otto Jacobs,
found the box of dynamite and took
it to the Mojave Desert, where he
buried it. Mr.. Sandon produced
the box, including the sticks from
which the powder had been re-
moved, in court. He said he dug 1t
UP from its desert hiding spot last
Tuesday night.
Another rebuttal witness called
by the prosecution was Ray Pinker,
Los Angeles Police Department
chemist. He testified that Mr..
Overen was not standing up at the
time of the explosion. as micro
scopic examination of the financier's
shoes disclosed that fragments Of
metal from the explosion were
blown into the instep and heel Of
his left shoe and that the other
shoe was similarly pelted.
Mr.. Williams contends that Mr..
and Mrs. Overell were bludgeoned
before the explosion occurred.

All Schools Will Be Visit
ed During Next Six
Weeks; Pre- S c h OOl
Children Eligible.

The fall schedule for immuniza-
tion against diphtheria and vacci-
nation against smallpox has just
been released by the Kent County
Unit Of the State Board of Health.
All schools will be visited during
the next six weeks and the service
will be available to all children in
grades 1, 2, and 3, and pre-school
children In the community.
Diphtheria is commonly known
as a childhood disease, since fully
one-half of all the cases are found
in patients under five years of age,
and 80 per cent in children under
ten. Smallpox favors no particular
group and is common among
adults as we'll as children.
Parents need not suffer anxiety
for their children or themselves
for both diseases may be prevent
ed. The best way to insure pro-
lection, according to DR.. Edwin
Cameron, executive secretary OF
the State Board of Health, is
through .immunization and vacci-
nation, both given when the chile
is from six to nine months old.
Vaccination for smallpox shoult
be repeated every five to sever
years throughout life.

Old Avenue Church
Is Being Demolished
Cleveland Wrecking Crew Is TAX
ing Down EdiIice

A wrecking crew of the Cleve-
land Wrecking Company last sat
urday began the demolition of tye
old Avenue Methodist Church build
ing which originally was intended
to have remained as historic unit
in the new edifice recently dedi-
Gated.
1t was originally intended to re-
surface the old brick structure,
which has contributed largely to-
wards the upholding of Methodism,
so it would harmonic and form a
permanent "U,'5' but after using it
as a social hall for awhile, it was
decided the old structure wasn't
safe.
Money already is being raised 10
build new structure in it's place,
which will give the Avenue Cnurcn
a really all new edifice.
Pr. HerSOn Watches Workers
Many people have been watching
the demolition of the old church
with saddened eyes and many mem
cries of its past. Prominent among
them is the Rev. DIR. Frank Herson
still pastor of the church, after oc-
cupying the pulpit for 20 years.
Constructed many years ago be-
fore the advent of present safe ar
chitective designs, the south wall ol
the church had been considered q
menace and some years ago iron
girders were extended through the
building to assist in supporting this
wall. Of late the beams holding the
heavy slate roof have given away
and have broken in two places
threatening collapse of the cell
ing. 1t was because of this condition
the trustees decided to demolisl
the old church, and construct al
entirely new building in it's place.

torn down is the third Methods
