Graham, mother of the dead woman, went into hysterics on the stand and - had to be removed for treatment after five minutes of sobbing testimony. Mrs. Graham, whose {liness caused postponement of the hearing a week ago, burst into sobbing and erying, “My dar- ling daughter, how can I live without her?” A physician was called and she was removed. She had told of the arrival of Prof. Kane at her home two days before the drowning. She sald she called to the couple to come to breakfast the morning of the drowning and that her daughter accompanied her to the dining room.

By the Assoclated Press. SEDALIA, Mo., September 30.—Hopes of the Democrats that they might be able to control the next House of Con- gress soared today as nearly complete returns from yesterday's special election in the seventh Missouri congressional district showed an overwhelming victory for Robert D. Johnson. Johnson, a Marshall-attorney, known in Missouri as a_“fighting Democrat,” won from his Republican opponent, former Representative John W. Palmer of Sedalla, by approximately 9,000 votes. Johnson's victory gave the Democrats 214 teats in the House, the same number as held by the Republicans. One seat is held by a member of the Farmer- Labor plrtr. L. L. Collins of Springfield, who ran as an independent anti-prohibition can- didate, ished a poor third. Both Johneon and Palmer had the approval of the Anti-Saloon League and the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Death Made Vacancy. m special election was made neces- h&he recent deth of Represent- Afive muel C. Major, Democra f Fayette. Democratic leaders of the State and Nation today hailed Johnson's decisive victory as an indication of the trend of six other special elections to fill House vacancies, all of which will have been held by the night of November 3 and in the general election of 1933. While the district is normally Demo- cratic by 1,500 to 3,500 votes, Johnson's triumph was more top-heavy than even :’h éndmt optimistic supporters had pre- T ‘Wins Five of Seven Elections. In the Jast seven rexular congres- slonal elections in the district, Major won five times, losing to Roscoe C.

Missouri Democratic leaders said they regarded the decisiveness of Johnson's vietory as partly due to Palmer's de- fense of the Hoover administration, the Federal Farm Board and the tarif. With present economic_conditions also playing a major part. Throughout the campaign, Johnson assailed the Farm Board and the Johnscn, 47 years old, has never been defeated for any office he sought.
