Children’ Scorned Suitor Sues Maid for Ring, but Jury Says It’s Her’s By the Assoclated Precs. BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March 28 —Giving a girl a diamond ring | | was sufficient to suggest wedding bells in the now more or less old- fashioned days of the “silent drama.” But in law, a diamond ring is i:ut a gift, more expensive per- aps, but otherwise differing not at all from a box of flowers or candy. A jury so deeided here in the suit of M. F. Tyre, 55, to recover a ring from a young woman. He said it was an engagement ring, but she testified that nothing was said about an engagement, and that she accepted the ring as a gift. The jury sald she can keep it. | it was not to answer any great question that he wove the tale of the bridge trageay, and its after effects, but rather to present one for the reader's consid- eratlon. “The true mission of an author is not to answer questions but to put them fairly” summed up the writer. Interspersed with humor which sparkled unexpectedly through his most serious thoughts, Mr. Wilder charmed his audience quite as much with his colorful language as with the wisdom of his thoughts on literature and its place in human life. His most quotable sen- tence on this subject, and the one that every thinking person perhaps carried home with him, was in regard to the everyday reading of the average man. “We should all have in our library or in our possession,” said Mr. Wilder, | “two book lists—one of the books we |should read at our first opportunity, |and the other of books we should read |at our best opportunity. The first, I | need not say, should contain the books of the moment—books we wish to pe- ruse, being ashamed to admit that we haven't read; and the second, the books we wish to absorb—the Iliterature of | all time.” A.

Locke and three associates, who are on trial on charges of using| the malls to defraud in an alleged 85, 000,000 copper stock swindle, yesterday heard themselves described as men of vision by defense counsel as their case reached the summation stage in Fed- eral court. John B. Wright, & Tuczon, Ari: torney, told the jury that the Canario Copper Co. mines were all that the de- fendants claimed them to be in litera- ture sent to prospective stockholders. Attacking the testimony of John W. Finch, Government mine expert, who had said the Canario ore was of poor quality, the attorney said that Finch had not inspected the mines thoroughly. He sald the defendants had acted merely on their vision of the mines’ possibilities and were guilty of no offense. Walter Godfrey, chief of defense counsel, said the defendants had fol- lowed the approved Wall Street methods in_marketing their securities. ‘The defense had rested earlier in the dAf' Neither of the Locke brothers was called to testify, George F. Shurtleff, their brother-in-law and co-defendant, was the last witness. Summations were expected to be con- | tinued today. FRAMES becoming and serviceable.
