and plumber.
The plumber began it with letter asking
whether it was all right to use hydrochloric
acid for cleaning sewer pipes. The division
chief composed careful explanation: ''Hy-
drochloric acid is efficacious as cleaning
agent. but it has deleterious effect on the
metallic surfaces of the pipes"
Plumber: Dear Sir. Thanks for your nice
letter. I'm glad to know it's all right. The
stuff sure does clean good"
Division chief: mo doubt you have found
the acid good cleanser, but it has cor
rosive effect on the components of the pipes"
Plumber: I'm using the stuff all the time,
and it works good like you say"
At that point the division chief began
having visions of a collapse Of a city's
entire plumbing system and discarded
his caution. For Pete's sake" he wrote,

An all-woman jury yesterday con-
victed Mrs. Agnes Z. GARNER Of
granddaughter In the staying Of her
wealthy employer and sweetheart.
John z. Owen.
The handsome s3-year-old bust
ness woman took the verdict stoi-
cally. although the penalty may
be from / to 10 years In prison.
She had testified she acted In
self defense when Mr.. Owen, So.
president of the National Apart
ment House Owners Association,
was fatally shot in the bedroom
Of his nearby Jurupa Hills rancho
April %. She was charged with
numbering him.
But the jury apparently sided.
in some degree. with the States
contention that Mrs. GARNER, for
IL years Mr.. Owens confidential
secretary and sweetheart. was mo-
tivated by jealousy Of his atten-
tons to Actress Irene Rich. who
owns a neighboring ranch.
Manages 10 Smile.
Mrs. GARNER blinked rapidly as
the verdict was announced last
night after nearly eight hours Of
elaboration. but she managed a
smile as she was led back to jail.
There's nothing to say" she told
reporters.
Judge Russell 8. Waite set 10
am. Wednesday for sentencing.
But Mrs. Carriers attorney.
Sam Houston Allen. Immediately
said he will ask for q new trial.
"The verdict is contrary to pub
lie sentiment" Mr.. Allen said. It
did come as q surprise to most
courtroom observers. although
there was no demonstration from
the $50 spectators. The judge had
warned against any outburst.
Earlier, as MFR. Allen concluded
his dramatic plea to the jury, the
tall brunette divorce broke down
for the only time during the two
week trial. She sobbed as the
attorney described her intimate
association with Mr.. Owen.

lighted the defense presentation.
