WOODLAND, Calif., December 15, —The “unwritten law” had its way here today when a jury of 11 men and 1 woman acquitted Judson C. Doke of murder in the slaying of his attractive wife's verse-writing lover, 1L.Il'l'llr Hollingshead. The court room crowd cheered as the verdict was announced. With tears in his eyes, Doke, 34-year-old San Leandro (Calif.) milk inspector, thanked the jurors and shook hands with each. He then began seeking bail on a charge of embezzling $1,800 of city funds in connection with his job. This accusation developed from the investigation that preceded the filing of the murder charge. His attorneys also said he would file suit for a divorce. Doke was set free in the face of an admonition to the jury by Superior Judge Neal Chalmers that “the law provides ample redress for a person finding his wife unfaithful.” It was Doke's second trial, and the jury deliberated 20 hours. The first trial ended with the jury deadlocked, 7 to 5, for acquittal. Hollingshead, 23-year-old Univer- sity of California student, and the 26- year-old brunette wife of the milk inspector, met through their verse- writing activities. Both had succeeded in having verses published and their meetings developed into love trysts. Doke learned of the situation and wrote Hollingshead a letter, after which he said he believed the affair HOMEMADE CANDIES Made FRESH Every Day by Our Own Fannie May Girls THE IDEAL CHRISTMAS GIFT For Every Member of the Family 60c¢ n. 2-1b.Box,$1.00 It doesn’'t seem like Christ. mas without a box of Delicious Fannie May—the finest, fresh- est homemade candy.

Then a neighbor of the Dokes, Mrs. Elizabeth Englis, disclosed that Mrs. Doke had intrusted to her a series of ardent love letters to Hollingshead. Doke put the letters in one pocket and his pistol in another and came to Woodland last July 26. He con- fronted Hollingshead in the bunk | house of a ranch where the young poet | had been working. Doke testified he confronted the poet and demanded the return of letters written tc Hollingshead by Mrs. Doke, Hollingshead, Doke said, began fum- bling in his suitcase. Doke said he pulled out his pistol as a matter of protection, and then asked Hollingshead to write a letter to Mrs, Doke saying all he had wanted of her was her physical self. Hollings- head refused, and the fatal shot rang out. Doke said he did not remember pulling the trigger. CLAYTON CHARGE ON TAXICAB ISSUE AROUSES ROBERTS (Continued From First Page.) taxicab issue is a dead issue. I have not conferred with anybody recently about taximeters, and I can tell the federation that this year I am not pressing the meter issue, because I believe the federation is against it. “I resent such a charge being made against me by a man who swore in that very case that he received money from the City Cab Co. I know that there was nothing immoral in that relationship, because it was open, and known to both sides, but why should the man that entered into it make such a charge against me?” Clayton said that he had not charged Roberts with conspiracy, but Roberts had unquestionably joined the street car lawyers in trying the taxi- cab case. At the request of Fred A. Emery, Mr. Roberts said: “I'm sorry, Bill. I deny some of the facts you said, but I regret that I charged you with deliberate lying.” “It is unethical,” said Clayton, “to charge me with taking money from a client, something that everybody has known about all along. My informa- tion that you were sponsoring the taximeters came yesterday in a tele- phone call from Representative Blan- ton of Texas. Denies Communication. “He asked me whether the feder- ation or Roberts represented the peo- ple of the District, and said that Rob- erts nad been urging on the District Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee the return of the meters. He said if we:put through a resolu- tion tonight in favor of zone cabs it would be of great assistance to his committee.” Roberts said afterwards that he has not communicated with any member of the commitiec in any manner since last Spring. Bianton, questioned about the telephone call, said that it was a matter before the committee in execu- tive session, and declined to discuss it. Reporters covering the gatherings of the commiitee, however, say that Roberts has not been near the com- mittee during 1ts sessions. At the close of his reply Clayton offered to meet Mr. Roberts at any time or place Mr. Roberts chose. After | the meeting, however, the two shook hands. The federation indorsed the action of its Executive Committee opposing the parking ban recently proposed by the Traffic Advisory Council. It di- rected a special committee to request from the Commissioners “authorita- tive data as to where the responsibility lies for the continuing lack of enforce- ment of the existing parking ban ap- plying to the congested areas of the District during the morning and aft- ernoon rush hours, and just what is necessary to be done in order that the citizens may obtain some reason- ably effective enforcement of the pres- ent parking ban during such rush hours in the congested areas, and to also request the Board of District Commissioners to take early action upon the pending proposal of the Public Utilities Commission with re- gard to the urgent need for relieving street railway transportation from other traffic inteference in the con- gested areas during rush hours, in the interest of the riding public.” ‘The federation approved a resolu- tion opposing any change in the present arrangement of having the Commissioners choose the board of trustees of the Public Library from citizens of the District. “We oppose the abolishing of the present board,” the resolution said, “or the substitution of & plan where- by the board's duties would be ad- visory only. We believe that great progress has been made under the present system, and thet there is no justification for considering the es- tablishment of another and different system of control at the present time.” Other resolutions adopted favored taxicab liability insurance, and giv- ing District government jobs to Dis- trict citizens. Ammon McClellan, executive direc- tor of the League of Distilled Spirits Rectifiers, asked the federation $o sup- port lower liquor texes to help elime inate bootlegging.

Y., Jail on Map. LOCKPORT, N. Y., December 15 (#).—The annual rush of prisoners seeking terms in Niagara County's jail is under way. Word has gone the rounds the “cooking deputy sheriff,” Edward Secord, will don the white attire of a chef to prepare the jail's Christmas dinner. A former hotel man, Secord placed the Lockport Jail on the map in the jungles” of hoboland. Annually an influx of prisoners is noticed as the ground turns white with snow and the sun sets early. It's all because of his Christmas dinners. And whether the main dish is turkey, duck, chicken, goose or just plain beef, the menu carries the touch of Secord, and that suffices.

By the Assoclated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, December 15.— Attorney General U. 5. Webb mailed a brief to the United States Supreme Court today opposing Tom Mooney’s last-ditgh fight for freedom, an ap- plication for permission to file & writ of Habeas corpus. Mooney's 17-year battle for uncon- ditional freedom- from San Quentin Prison recently was carried before the Nation's highest court on a plea that his imprisonment for the bombing in San Francisco in 1916, when 10 per- sons were killed and 40 injured, was based on perjured testimony. “The petitioner contends that the introduction of allegedly false evi- dence invalidated the valid process by means of which the trial court ob- tained jurisdiction,” Webb stated in his brief. Calls Matter Legislative. Mooney's argument, said Webb, that courts should have the power to re- open cases in which intrinsic fraud is alleged is “a matter for legislative, rather than judicial, action.” Courts are not now empowered by constitu- tion or statute to exercise such juris- diction, the attorney contended. “The only remedial powers in such cases are those of executive pardon or executive clemency,” Webb as- serted. Four Governors, from Stephens to Rolph, refused to accede to the cry of liberals that Mooney should be par- doned. Gov. Frank F. Merriam has the case before him, but will not act before the United States Supreme Court, rules on the present petition. ‘When Mooney and Warren K. Bil- lings, now in Folsom Prison, were convicted of the bombing and sen- tenced to die, President Wilson inter- | vened and the sentences were com- muted to life imprisonment. State Given to December 21. In Mooney's final plea to the Su- preme Court he asked for permission to file a writ of habeas corpus on the Oxygen Treatment Temporarily Halts Yawns of Woman But Effects Wear Off Quickly and Gasps Resume Attack. By the Assoclated Press. ROUND GROVE, 15.—Oxygen as admiinstered to Round Grove's “yawning woman” late today, but it halted only temporarily the face-distorting yawns she has suf- fered continuously for more than six days. As soon as the effects wore off Mrs. Harold McKee, 35-year-old farmer’s wife, who is the victim of the attack, lapsed into yawning, at the rate of 9 to 12 a minute. Her physician, Dr. H. L. Pettit, said tonight, however, he would continue the administrations, adding that there was a possibility Mrs. McKee would be removed to a hospital, probably at Sterling. A further examination and blood tests of the patient are to be made to- morrow, Dr. Pettit said. He denied reports she was delirious, asserting she showed no appreciable change except to appear somewhat more weakened. As “sure cures” and messages of sympathy continued to flood from all parts of the Nation into Round Grove tonight, Dr. Pettit issued appeals for round medical advice and aid for his patient. —_— Rumanian Report Scouted. BUCHAREST, Rumania, December 15 (#)—Diplomatic circles dismissed as “nonsense” tonight reports publish- ed abroad that the Rumanian cabinet was endangered because of an incident growing from the presence of Mme. Magda Lupescu, friend of King Carol, at a dinner attended by high officials. ground that, having been conivcted by perjured testimony, he is in prison without due process of law. The Supreme Court set December 21 as the date for Warden James B. Holohan of San Quentin to answer the court’s order to appear and state why Mooney’s application for per- mission to file a habeas corpus writ should not be granted. Attorney Gen- |eral Webb's brief, mailed today, is Holohan's answer. BANK BANDIT GANG TERRORIZES TOWN Loot Estimated at $2,000 Is Taken From Vault in Ohio Village. By the Assoclated Press. WILLARD, Ohio, December 15.—A roving bank bandit gang that terror- ized North Fairfield for three hours and escaped with loot estimated at $2,000 after blasting the vault of the North Fairfield Savings Bank, was hunted tonight. Sheriff David A. Berry declared the leisurely looting of the bank early to- day was the work of an organized ring of robbers. Linked to Earlier Robbery. ‘The sheriff said the burglary was ex- ecuted by the same gunmen who two days ago broke into the Armstrong Bank at Adelphi, Ohio, escaping with $3,000 in negotiable bonds, and that took possession of Cygnet, Ohio, No- vember 15, but fled when officers ap- proached in response to a telephone alarm. The gang cut all telephone wires at North Fairfield. At Cygnet a similar plan was followed, but the gunmen failed to sever one wire, which left an outlet for the alarm. At Adelphi they succeeded in cutting off all communi- cation lines. Estimates are Varied. Estimates of the number in the band that swooped upon North Fairfield vary from 6 to 15. Myles Burras said that a number of blasts were set off in the bank before the vault was shattered. Each of these literally rocked the town of 400 popu- lation, and most residents were awake before the gang departed. Sight of the armed sentries in the vicinity of the bank kept citizens indoors. - Card Party at Branchville, BRANCHVILLE, Md,, December 15 | (Special).—Under auspices of the | auxiliary of the local Pire Department, a card party will be held in the fire | house Monday night.
