It's a bargain-time, into which we have concentrated all our facilities. By the Assoclated Press. AUSTIN, Tex., October 26.—A Dis- trict Court jury adjudged Howard Pier- son insane today, relieving the 21- year-old youth of the immediate pros- pect of facing trial for the murder of his parents, Willlam Pierson, associ- ate State Supreme Court justice, and Mrs. Plerson. Should he be found sane at any later ttme he would become subject to trial. ‘The verdict did not pass on young Pierson’s sanity at the time his par- ents were shot to death near here. Pierson confessed the slaying, say- 1ng he had lured his parents to the ru- ral spot on a pretext of showing them an Indian relic. He first declared they ‘were shot by a hold-up man. ‘The verdict was reached on the sec- ond ballot, after two hours’ delibera- tion. As it was read, Pierson appeared indifferent. He was turned back to the custody of the sheriff. Later, the County Court will order him com- mitted to an asylum for the insane. “We are gratified,” said an elder brother, William H. Pierson. “We think it was a proper verdict.” Pierson was granted the sanity hearing on sllegations that he now is insane, does not know right from wrong and was incapable of making a rational defense against murder charges. Using a pistol he had purchased in Galveston, Pierson first shot his mother, he said, then his father, and then himself, in the left arm. He admitted, officers said, firing a bullet through the head of each “to make sure they were dead.” 1o's e o s Sty B X au.%_u&,w.“: - OTTO G. JACOBI, Arthur Kallett to Speak.

From there on, it was mud, sand and stony hills, punc- tuated with holes so deep the motor dragged in spots. It rained all the way and the car had no top. In Baltimore, the crew dried out, ate and made arrangements to ship their car back to Washington. Jacobi's 35 years of safe driving necessarily have resulted in a philoso- phy of safety.
