GEORGIA VERDICT
DUE WEDNESDAY
judge To Announce Deci-
sion On Rightful Claim
ant To Governorship

MCDONOUGH, Ca, Feb. 10. -
P)- Superior Circuit Judge Walt
err c. Hendrix deferred judgement
today on litigation seeking to GUST
Herman Talmadge from the Geor-
gia governors chair.
The Atlanta jurist announced
that he would deliver his verdict
at 10 a. m. Wednesday.
The delay will permit opposing
counsel to argue another case to-
morrow a suit by the Fulton Ma
tional Bank Of Atlanta seeking dl-
rection as to which claimant to
the governorship may draw on
executive department funds.
Arguing that the will Of the peo-
ple sis the fundamental and basic
issue" the attorney general OF
Georgia asked Hendrix today to
nullify the legislatures action in
eleeting Talmadge as governor.
Eugene Cook, the attorney gene
raj, appeared as counsel for Lieut.
Gov. M. E. Thompson, rival claim
ant of the governorship, in sup
port of a petition for declaratory
Judgment to GUST Talmadge from
the office.
Counsel for Talmadge asked dis
missal of the petition. They argu-
ed the courts have no Jurisdiction
to review a sovereign action OF the
legislature, and contended Thomp-
son had no right to bring the suit
because the basis for action "died'
when Gov. Ellis Arnall resigned.

CORP. DUMAS TELLS
DETAILS IN CORNERSTONE

FORT DIX, N. j., Feb. 1O.-U.D-
Talkative Corp. Joseph DUMAS
said today that he had stabbed
Elizabeth Short, the Los Angeles
Black Dahlia, then hacked her
body in half with a meat cleaver-
but his confession" remained to
be proven.
The new detailed confession
made by DUMAS after five days of
constant grilling by army criminal
Investigation department authori-
ties was telephoned Immediately to
Los Angeles for checking.
Only the actual slayer could sup
ply certain details of the way the
black-haired beauty's body was
mutilated and dissected. On wheth-
er DUMAS had given those facts
hung the truth of his story.
In his new statement, DUMAS
said he stole an automobile and
a rope before going on a date with
Miss Short in San Francisco, Major
Cornelius T. Morris, public rela-
tons officer, said. During the date.
DUMAS bound the girl with the
rope, then stabbed her in the back,
he said.
DUMAS said he also slashed the
Black Dahlia on the face and mouth
with the knife. Then, he said, he
used a meat cleaver to cut up her
body. The corporal said he washed
the blood off the parts of her body,
and left them in d vacant lot in
Los Angeles. They were 5 found
there Jan. Is.

Gambling On Fall
While the debate was on, it APP
peared possible that the Conserva-

mate fall of the Labor govern

rule of the Conservative party in a
new general election.
Lord Woolton, Conservative par
ty chairman, told a political meet
ing at Glasgow tonight: "1t is the
public duty for every one of us
to take every step within u pow
er to bring this government to an
end. If they are to be allowed to
continue, then I see the dissolution
of everything except parliament.
How dare they go on"

at the Mather reservation and
were planning to return Sunday
when the snow hemmed them in.
There were no casualties, outside

After snow blocked the roads
when they attempted to return
home yesterday, friendly farmers

famed and was inspired by that
crime.
Found By Driver
The body, naked except for a
dress thrown across it, was found
by a bulldozer driver. The wom-
ans undergarments were heaped
nearby. She had been beaten brut-
ally, and there were prints of boots
Or heavy shoes on her.
Autopsy Surgeon DR.. Frederick
Newbarr, after a preliminary au-
topsy, said that the woman had
been dead only a few hours when
her body was found. Officers, on
the basis of his report, theorized
Mrs. French had been beaten,
kicked and trampled to death.
The open field where the body
was found is less than a mile from
an airplane factory with an ad-
joining airport.
One angle Of the case was that if
Mrs. French proved to be a VIC
tim Of the same mad killer who
tortured and slashed the Black
Dahlia, the confession of Corp.
Joseph DUMAS at Fort Dix, N. j.,
today would be definitely disprov-
ed. His admission of the crime had
by no means convinced police here
the Black Dahlia murder mystery
Was solved.
Top Men On Job
Although he would not imme-
diately link the Staying with that
of 1.-THE Black Dahlia," Homicide
Captain Jack Donahoe sent his
top Investigators to handle the
case.
The entire field was roped off
until crime laboratory technicians
completed their study of the ter
rain and recorded their findings.
Other detectives carefully search
ed the are for possible clues.
Their first find was a woman's
black purse containing n penny.
1t also had in it a card bearing the
name 1.-The Green Gobbler Club,
Shockpee, MINI. On the back of
the card was a tabulation of house
hold expenses written in pencil.
The rest of the contents of the
purse were a comb and some hair
pins.
Police Theory
From their study, police said in
dications were that the woman had
been alive when brought to the
field and died there.
The significant points of similar
ity between the new case and
The Black Dahlia" Staying, police
said, were that the bodies both
were nude, both were found in
vacant lots, both had been multi
lated, although Miss Shorts body
was cut in half; and in both cases
the victims had been tortured.

him in the aisle.
Barangan was wounded in the
shoulder and right hip but at St.

was reported not serious. Stone S

domen was laid open by Baragan

knife.
Less seriously hurt were Mrs.
Goldie Hoffman, 81, of Detroit,
Mich, and Harvey Montgomery,
"a, of Shafter, Calf. They were
permitted to leave aboard a latel
train after having their wounds
dressed.
Conductor Quint said Barangan
had terrorized the a by pointing
what they believed was a revolver
in his pocket at them. 1t was after
the train left the nearby stop OF
Mesa that he began slashing
wildly at persons near him.
Barangan had gone to Corpus
Christi on a visit but continued
on towards Los Angeles without
permission. He had orders for
the visit to Corpus Christi signed
by E. A.. Johasen, director of the

ment for the presiding officer Of

The bill, if passed would be
submitted to the state at the next
general election.
