MEXICO CITY, November 2.—Radio apparatus was installed today in the courtroom for broadcasting the trial of Jose de Leon Toral and the nun, Mother Conception, in connection with the as-| sassination of President-elect Alvaro | Obregon last July. Toral is the assas- sin, and the nun is accused of being an accomplice. The trial is unusual in that generally the assassins of persons high in politics are tried by military rather than civil courts. A thousand persons asked to be ad- mitted to today’s proceedings at the Courthouse of San Angel, not far from where the slaying took place. The courtroom seats 100; 50 more can wedge their way in. Admission was by ticket only. Tickets were issued by the pre- siding judge. ‘Thirty names were drawn from a list of 100 talesmen, 9 jurors from these to try the youthful cartoonist. Above the judge’s bench and facing the space set aside for the defendants was a pic- ture of Obregon. “I am ready for anything” Toral sald. Then he spoke of the possibility that his crime might be considered po- litical and that death would not be is punishment, and his eyes shown vith hope. Mother Conception asked the prose- | cuting_attorney to do his utmost tc | have Her sentencéd”to prison, because this would enable her to devote herself %o spiritual work among the woman iconvicts in the penitentiary. The maxi- mum penalty in her case is 20 years, in Toral's case death. | mountings. $ Diamond Scarf Pins —in a variety of solid gold Pay 50c a Week 3-Stone Diamond Ring 2450 ‘Sparkling white diamonds—three of them set in smart new 18-kt. white gold mountings.

Expressing a perfect willingness to go to jail provided he could vote on Tues- day, Martin Hughes of High Point, Md., today admitted he “was probably guil- ty” when arraigned on an intoxication charge before Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Police Court today. Hughes was so fearful of losing his chance to vote that he would not even put up a defense for himself. When asked by Clerk Samuel Addison whether he plead guilty or not guilty, the man took the question as trivial. “I'll leave that to the officer, but please don't make it so hard I can't vote on Tuesday,” was the answer. The court entered a plea of not guilty and Policeman T. R.
