As Ren Thurman, Thompson's attorney, brought statements from four witnesses who once worked with the defendant that his sexual obsessions, his liking for indecent literature, and pictures of himself and a girl in nude poses convinced them he was insane, hisses from spectators filled the air. Judge Joseph Daily warned the spectators he would clear the court- room if such acts continued, and the bailiff’s gavel sounded almost con- Early Tuesday morning several hundred persons indulged in a near- riot as they fought to get into the courtroom.

Per Acre Missouri Township Farmer Brings Load of Marquis to Elevator Tuesday RUNNING LIGHT IN MORTON Grain May Require New Grad- ing, Say Experts; Barley, Oat Crops ‘Good’ First known wheat to be harvested in Burleigh county is running around 10 bushels to che acre it was reported 4 the Dakota Seed Co. elevator Tues- jay. Forty-three bushels of the wheat were brought into the elevator Tues- day by H. L. Irvine, son of Andrew Irvine, who iives southeast of Bis- marck in Missouri township. The wheat weighed 45 pounds a bushel. Irvine said he combined the wheat from his best field and it ran very close to 10 bushels to the acre. It was of the Marquis variety and brought 68 cents a bushel at the local elevator. First harvest reports in Morton county revealed an exceptionally light wheat, in the opinion of elevator men who declared the grain may require a new grading. The first reports came from the farm of Joseph Suchy, who began threshing on his farm six miles south- west of Mandan, using a combine. Reports from the Suchy farm said the grain was running three bushels to the acre, with an average of 43 pounds to the bushel. Elevator men.pointed out .this was less in weight than No. 3 grain and would require a new grading. At the same time, reports on the rye and barley crops were encouraging, farmers reporting these two crops in “very good” condition. Oats, they averred, would make about 60 bushels to the acre, HIGHWAY PATROL IS READY FOR ACTION Defeat Is Most Humiliating for America Since 1911 Joust With Aussies Wimbledon, Eng., July 30—(/)— The United States was whitewashed in the Davis Cup tennis challenge round for the first time in 24 years Tuesday when Fred Perry defeated Wilmer Allison, 4-6, 6-4, 7-5, 6-3, and H. W. (Bunny) Austin conquered Don Budge, 6-2, 6-4, 6-8, 7-5. Great Britain thus swept all five matches of the series and completed a magnifi- cent second defense of the cup won from France in 1933. It was America’s most humilitating defeat since Australia blanked Uncle Sam’s court representatives in 1911 and it marked the end of the sixth challenge round bid to recapture the coveted since it was lost by the United States to France in 1927. The victory represents England’s eighth triumph since the interna- tional team competition was instituted in 1900 and the third time sons of John Bull have swamped the United States. They did it before in 1905 and 1906. In addition to doing it in 1911 Australia also blanked the U. 8. in 1909, All in all it was the 11th time the cup nas been won in a sweep of five matches.

Men In Natty Blue Uniforms Will Take to North Dako- ta Roads Next Week North Dakota’s new highway patrol —composed of a nucleus of five men —will probably move onto the high- ways of the state early next week. Arrayed in natty blue uniforms— dark blue slacks with a lighter blue coat and blue officers cap—the pa- trolmen will take up their duties in various districts of the state yet to be assigned. Across the breast of each of the patrolmen will stretch a Sam Browne belt, upon which will glitter the official shield of the state patrol. The men will travel through the state in five factory specially-built coupes—according to officials of the state highway department. The pa- trol chief, yet to be appointed, will be named by state Highway Commis- sioner W. J. Flannigan and Gov- ernor Walter Welford. Each of the five cars is equipped with radio, tuned in on long-wave. It is hoped to work out a plan with radio stations of the state, whereby the various districts will be blanket- ed by long-wave stations, reporting emergencies to the traveling patrol- men. Actual issuance of drivers’ licenses also is awaiting the patrol activity. It is planned to deliver the licenses in batches to the various county seats through the patrolmen.

Then, Dougherty said, the woman admitted she strang- led Lang Cut Off Victim’s Legs with a rope.
