ham case broadened the means
by which defendant success
fully could plead insanity.
The appellate court decreed
that If the jury found that
mental disease or defect pro-
duced the crime, the defendant
must be found innocent by rea-
son Of insanity.
1t was under this rule that
Jones last year was found in
Inocent of a HOUSEKEEPING and

him committed to an institution

lodged against him and Jones
went Tree.

imented editorially::
Here is a case which still
bears watching as illustrative
iof the loopholes which exist in
the system designed to protect
society from such persons as
Maurice Jones"
Several months later. the A.
nance company was held up and
Jones was arrested.

accidentally when Miss Penton
bumped it. Mr.. Haynes testified
at the inquest, but refused to
testify before the grand Jury.
Meanwhile. a statement taken
from Miss Penton as she lay
dying in a hospital bed July 10
was disclosed in Municipal Court
yesterday in legal maneuver on
behalf of Mrs. Haynes.
Attorney Harry j. Ahern,
counsel for Mrs. Haynes, had
asked the Government to pro-
duce any documents it had re-
lating to the case.
Capt. Richard ]. Felber. head
of the homicide squad. reported
on the brief statement taken by
detectives from Miss Penton. 1t
consisted Of the following ques-
tons and answers, he said:
do you know who shot you?"
Eyes. Katherine Haynes.
"Who is she?"
She's the wife Of the man
I've been going with"
Dispute on Statement
Capt. Felber commended this
was not death-bed statement,
in the legal sense, since Miss
Penton was not informed that
she was dying and these might
be her last words. Mr.. Ahern
commended it was a death-be
statement.
Capt. Felber said the state
ment is the only document Of
which he is aware in connection
with the case.
Mr.. Ahern said he wanted to
use the statement because he
considered it important to the
defense of Mrs. Haynes. He said
he hoped to show she had been
driven temporarily insane by her
husbands actions. and felt Miss
Penton's admission that she was
going around with Mr.. Haynes
gave weight to that defense.

with barley like you can with
corn still persists. Following is
quoted from some California ex-
periments, and should settle the
argument for all time:
"For over a year the animal
husbandry and food technology
departments of the University of
California have been conducting
experiments to find out if there is
any difference between eastern
corn-fed beef and beef produced
in our California feedlots. High
grading steers were selected from
the San Joaquin Experimental
Range herd and divided into two
groups. One group was fed corn
and the other fed California pro-
duced feeds made up mainly of
barley. Both groups were fed the
same hay. The length of feeding
period was the same for both
groups. The carcaSSeS graded u. S..
Good and Choice"
"After slaughtering and aging.
all the carcasses were analysed
for differences. The -carcasses from
the corn-fed steers were just like
those from the barley-fed steers
the creamy white fat, the bright
cherry red lean with fat running
through it and the velvety tex
ture."
similar cuts Of meat from
each carcass were cooked identic-
ally and tested by trained panels
Of judges. These judges not know
ing the previous history of the
beef scored the samples for ten
derness, juiciness, flavor, texture
and overall desirability. The re-
suits of all tests showed there was
no significant difference between
barley-fed and corn-fed beef. The
differences were so small - some
favoring barley-fed and others IA
voring corn-fed beef - that we
believe the majority of beef eaters
would be unable to detect them.
There is no justified basis for
faVOring eastern corn-fed beef
over western-fed beef when both
are finished to the same degree.
A great many of the feeder cattle
which are finished in California
feedlots come from the same
breeding grounds as those feeder
cattle finished in the corn belt. To
most of us, the California finished
beef we now enjoy is much diff
ferent and superior to the grass
fattened beef produced in the
early days"

MORE ON THE
WOOL PROGRAM

Farmers In Richland county
who have wool to market this
season are reminded that incen-
tive payments provided by the
U. S. government under the Ma
tional Wool Act of 1854 are geared
to the price the farmer receives
on the market for his wool.
In other words, the higher the
return you get for your wool
when sold, the higher will be the
incentive payment you receive
from the government. Here's how
it works:
At the end of the 1855 market
ing year (March 81, 1850 the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
will determine the average price
received by growers through reg
ular market channels, for the en-
tire u. S. clip. The percentage diff
ference between this figure and

be used to determine the amount
