months ago would consider his
physical appearance fairly good
now. except for the eye ban
dage.
But the more than so pounds

quickly apparent to his mother
and father.
The soldiers interest in health
culture, his father said, helped
him survive-there's no question
of that"

Dear Sir:
We are Jewish and would very
much like to move South. We are
interested in looking over Jack
sonville in the near future while
on trip down South.
Mr.. Lewis has had much ex-
perience as garage superintend-
ent which involved handling sew
eral hundred thousand dollars
worth of automobiles annually,
much supervising and a great
amount of clerical executive
work. He left this work to help
with war work and has been
doing tool room work since. The
work is very combining as he
works seven days a week and he
would very much like to get away
from this type of work.
Would you know of any fine
business man or men whom Mr..
Lewis might contact regarding
employment while in Jackson
vile?
He is very fine, honest gentle
man, a tactful person highly re-
spected by all.
A very happy New Year to you
and we will await your reply
with interest.
Sincerely yours,

Staying Of Col. Smith
Was Premeditated,
Prosecution Says
By the Assceioied Press

TOKYO. Jan. 9.-The prose-
cution in the United States
Army court-martial trial of Mrs.
Dorothy Kruger Smith contend
ed today that the evidence
showed both motive and pre-
mediation in the knife-slaying
of her husband, Col. Aubrey
Smith.
1t. Col. w. H. H. Jones summed
up for the prosecution. Then
the trial recessed until tomor-
row. when the defense will re-.
view it's case.
Mrs. Smith. daughter of Gen.
Walter Kruger of World War
II fame, is charged with fatally
stabbing her husband in the bed
room of their Tokyo residence
about midnight October 3. She
pleaded not guilty
The defense did not seek to
disprove the charge. Instead, it
sought to prove that Mrs. Smith
was mentally unbalanced. She
did not testify.
Death Penalty Possible.
Conviction on the charge of
premeditated murder carries
penalty of death or life impris-
onment. But if the court de-
cides she was temporarily insane,
it can acquit her and make rec
concentrations for her care.
Col. Jones concluded his one
the Army couple was stationed
What is the motive?
"Please examine these facts in
sequence - these things Mrs.
Smith was quoted as saying
about her husband:
HE told me I had been
detriment to his career. He told
me he was being Shanghaied
(tranSferred) from his job as d
result of my behavior. He told
me he was sending me back to
the United States. Before that
happens, I'll kill him.
Psychiatrist Questioned.
The star defense witness, Brig.
Gen. Rawley E. Chambers. chief
psychiatrist of the United States
Army. was recalled by Prosecutor
Jones, who asked him:
I'm your opinion was Mrs.
Dorothy Smith in the grip of an
irrestible impulse when she
plunged a knife into her hus-
bands Side?"
"It is my opinion that she
was" Gen. Chambers replied.
He testified previously that he
was Mrs. Smiths physician when
the army couple was stationed
at San Antonio. Tex. and had
observed a mental arrangement
at that time.
