Mrs. Davis ia alleged to have been mortally wounded by Mrs. Gamble early on the morning of September 19, when Mrs, Gamble is said to have found her co husband seated in an automobile with Mrs. Davis. Mrs. Davis died four days after she was shot, in Providence Hos- pital, Washingtony ¢ Warned by the eourt, that he did not | have to testify, Joseph Gamble, the first |3 witness calied by ‘the progecution, agreed to present the principal testi- mony for the prosecution and walved his right to refuse to testify.

Gamble told the jury that on the night of September 18, he and Mrs. Davis went out for a ride in his auto- mobile and returped some time after midnight to find Mrs. Gamble waiting near the home in which Mrs, Davis was living, armed with a pistol.

A third proposal was that the Gov- ernment defray the full expense of maintaining eounty extension agents in drought areas, relieving the counties of their share until June 30, 1932. These recommendations were addi- tional to the Department of Agriculture and Budget Bureau plans to have $125,- 000,000 in highway construction funds for 1932 made immediately available upon passage of the Agriculture De- partment supply bill. By this the States would receive _their apportionments probably before March 1 as against July 1, as ordinarily.
