ATTORNEYS STUDY MRS. EDGAR STORY She Says Husband Beat and Humiliated Her—Aliena- tion Suit Is Delayed. By tne Associated Press. MIAMI, Fla, July 7—Attorneys and principals in the $300.000 Edgar-Mal- lory love-theft suit took advantage of & recess today to study testimony of the former Mrs. James Edgar, jr.. that her husband beat and humiliated her. Edgar is suing Lewis E. Mallory, 3d, on the claim that the young Bradford, Pa, oll heir seduced his wife and alienated her affections in an ocean- front hotel in Miami Beach last March. ‘The Edgars later were divorced. Pretty Kathryn Crawford, the di- vorced wife, rested from a second cross- examination, which again drew her denial that she ever had illicit relations with the 22-year-old Mallory. Appearance of Mallory’s counsel, John M. Murrell, in another court to- day forced a recess. Circuit Judge W. W. Trammell said he would order night sessions unless the trial should end to- morrow. Mallory is expected to take the stand | tomorrow to add his denial to that of Miss Crawford, who has resumed her maiden name. ‘The defense yesterday struck at Ed- gar's alienation claims by testimony intended to show the former actress had ceased to love her husband before she met Mallory. s ford's New York attorney, testified that | about a divorce | she consulted him months ago, and at that time com- plained that Edgar beat her and was unclean in his personal habits. He also said Miss Crawford told him she fre- quently was humiliated by her hus- band's conduct. ‘The defense also attacked Edgar’s testimony that he saw his wife nude ‘with Mallory in the latter’s hotel room on a certain March night. Marvin A. Glazier, a night watchman, testified that Mallory did not return to his quarters that night until after the hour Edgar said he looked through the window and saw the couple. The defense lost a motion for a di- Tected verdict.

TUESDAY, LETTER CARRIERS WILL ELECT TODAY Maryland Rural Postmen Hear Outline of W. P. A. Plans for Future. By the Associated Press. OCEAN CITY, Md,, July 7.—Election the annual convention of ihe Mary- land Rural Letter Carriers’ Assocla- tion. ‘The association heard several speak- ers and held a memorial service yes- terday at the opening sessions. The speakers were H. L. Conner, post office inspector, and Harry D. Williar, jr., deputy State works progress adminis- trator Conner praised the work of the Maryland carriers, saying they ranked high among those of other States. Wil- liar outlined the W. P. A. program and told of future plans. Williar explained that workers, in the future, would be paid prevailing wages, but that hours of work & month would be limited. He also said that workers are selected now on a basis of need, whereas in the past only persons actually on relief were eligible for W. P. A. jobs. “The W. P. A. program is primarily intended to put the unemployed to work,” Williar said. He explained that farm-to-market roads are being con- structed in only 16 of the 23 counties. “The question may very properly be asked. ‘What about the other seven counties,’” Williar said. “The answer is that the W. P. A. program is pri- marily intended to put the unemployed to work. “The construction of a road, while important, is only & means to the end. In other words, the roads are built where the available relief labor exists. In the seven counties where there are no road jobs in operation it will be found that the available labor is limited and is already working on other types of approved projects. “When they are completed and new projects are necessary to employ the labor, W. P. A. will confer with local authorities and probably a farm-to- market road program will be initiated.” $5,798 LOAN AVERAGE H. 0. L. C.
