BEAUMONT, Tex., March 26.—A. B. Johnson, 46-year-old teamster foreman, Who slew Ottls Lee Adams, 22, alleged betrayer of his daughter, today stood convicted on a murder charge by a jury which heeded both written and unwrit- ten laws. The verdict, returned last night, as- sessed and suspended a five-year prison sentence. Johnson, whose 17-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, was mysteriously shot death December 27, listended without emotion as District Judge R. L. Murray explained the sentence would become operative only in the event of con- viction of lnot.her felony charge. Convinced of Suicide. ‘The father had testified he was con- vinced Elizabeth committed suicide to escape humiliation because Adams al- ready had a wife in De Quincy, La. He swore he was \informed the youth, who drove an ambulance for a Port Arthur refinery at which Johnson worked, had boasted of intimacy with the girl, Introduction of evidence began yes- | terday. The State offered only one wit- ness, J. P. Collier, in whose tailor shop Johnson shot Adams January 17. Robert L. Williams, son of an Aus- tin, Tex., Methodist pastor and a stu- dent in Texas University, testified he Joved and had planned to marry Eliza- beth, but Adams supplanted him in her affections. Death in Automobile. She died in Williams' automobile while it was parked at the First Meth- odist Church of Port Arthur, Williams gald he was inside talking to a min- ister about trying to regain her favor. A d jury exonerated him in con- th her desth. ch figured prominently in circumstances that cost the lives of two of its young members. Adams met Elizabeth at an Epworth League mock Wedding and played as her hridegroom. Johnson’s lawyers dwelt on'the testi- mony of J. W. Plerce of Port Arthur that M‘ml, after the girl died, had said it was !Id. but it got me out of a tough spot.” TELEVISION IN SIGHT AS GAINS ARE MADE Encouraging Results in Past Few Months Forecast Early Offer- _ag to Public. Television has made most encourag- ing progress during the past few months, and its arrival as a practical mode of public service is in sight. So material has been this recent de- velopment that authorities now are sharply revising downward their esti- mates as to when it may be offered to . In every department of the visual art there has been significant progress, and many of the obstacles on the technical side have been overcome. ‘Within the laboratory television is successful. Its transition to space, how- ever, has offered the difficulties, and now, with a score of experimental visual stations on the air, some of which are synchronized with broadcasting stations to present “talking movies of the air,” fi:;‘e outdoor problems are being coped Even the officials at the Pederal Ra~ dio Commission, who have been in- clined to view television as highly ex- perimental and hardly approaching the Tealm of practicability, are showing un- usual Jmterest in these developments. ‘The activity of the two radio broad- © networks in television and the inten of manufacturers to introduce home television receivers next June at the trade show, as well as the growing public sentiment in support of the visual art, are tending to break down the commission’s pessimistic attitude. Experimenters, it is learned, are get- ting together with the idea of stand- ardizing television apparatus. A 60- line picture of sufficient clarity to be seen over an average sized room is the objective, since several different scan- ning systems now are employed, each transmitting a different sized picture. With standardized transmission, recep- tion also would be ‘made, uniform, so that the same receiver would pick up the of all television stations within range, rather than the particular one to which it was calibrated. Several television experimenters now are broadcasting visual programs daily schedules, and are lcqullntinl more and more of the public with the cularly true around ew York, where the ex- perimentation largely is concentrated. Mamver. many of these stations are synchronized with regular broad- tzu stations for simultaneous trans- mMomn u(hd.m and sound. The fan under such an ment may pick Uip"the sound. acconbaniment on s regular recelving set, while his tele- vision receiver, a short-wav set, receives the visual signals. —_— GLEE CLUB CONCERT Cast of 26 to Take Part in Program Thursday Night.

Cox in District Divi- sion 2, was halted yesterday because no property owners were present to syb- mit testimony to the jury concerning the value of their land.

The court served notice that the closing of testimony | would_follow the evidence submitted next Tuesday unless otiter owners pre- sent themselves.
