CLARK FACES JURY | AGAIN IN SLAYING Prosecutor Promises “Sur- prising Revelations” in Sec- ond Trial of Ex-Official. By the Associated Pres LOS ANGELES, September 21— | David H. Clark, former deputy district attorney and an unsuccessful candidate | for a municipal judgeship in the last; election, was called to trial today for the second time on a charge of slaying Herbert F. Spencer, magazine editor. ‘The jury at the first trial disagreed. It was discharged when it stood 11 to 1} for acquittal after hearing Clark’s story | that he shot Spencer and Charles H. Crawford, wealthy one-time political bass, in self-defense. Special Prosecutor W. J. Ford said the State had new evidence to strike at Clark’s story of self-defense and that “surprising revelations” were due. Clark’s testimony was that he shot Spencer and Crawford only after the latter had reached for a pistol in an argument which Clark said resulted from his refusal “to frame” Chief of Police Roy E. Steckel. The doubl killing took place in Crawford’s Holly- wood office May 20. ‘The State, in the first trial, inti- mated the slayings were caused by “political racketeering. Clark has yet to be tried for the slaying of Crawford. ENGINEER TO ADVOCATE R. M. Smart, Philadelphia, to Be Speaker Before Electric League Tonight.
