- GIRL, 18, CONVICTED IN SLAYING OF KIN Gets Five-Year Term for “Date-on-a-Bet” Murder. Fights Verdict. B7 the Associated Press. HOPEWELL, Va, October 21— Kathleen Phelps, 18, whose “date” with her sister's husband to “win a bet” ended in his death, was under sentence of five years in prison today. A Hopewell Circuit Court jury, after hearing the girl testify that she shot Howard Watkins, her brother-in-law, when he entered her room as she was preparing for bed and attempted to choke her, convicted her of voluntary manslaughter after an hour's delib- eration last night. Defense counsel immediately moved to set aside the verdict as contrary to the law and evidence. Arguments will be heard during the December term of court. Miss Phelps remained in jail when she was unable to se- cure the $1,000 set as her bond. Shot First In Leg. Miss Phelps told the jury that she and Watkins drove to a nearby town where they had a few drinks of whisky and some beer, and then he brought her home. Later that night, August 27, Miss Phelps said she kept an engagement with another married man, John| Bcruggs, from whom she testified she borrowed a pistol to “keep Mr. Wat- kins off of me because I knew he would try to beat me up.” Returning to her room in the Wat- kins' home, Miss Phelps said, “I shot him in the leg first and when he came on I shot him in the stomach.” Mrs, Watkins, wife of the slain man, said her sister's statement about the bet was true, and added that her husband was “jealous” of Miss Phelp’s *“association with other men.” She said she knew her husband *tried to go with her and asked her for dates in my presence or when I could overhear.” Circuit Judge M. R. Peterson in- structed the jury that the defendant was “not required” to retreat from ‘Watkins in the bed room and had a right to repell the assault with any means at hand. —_— | Power Demand in England.

Meanwhile, it was learned the Brit- ish press will make its first mention of the divorce case of “Simpson W., vs. Simpson, E. A.” in tomorrow’s issue of the magazine News Review. A six-line item on page 23 will read: “Reporters were last week laying their lines at Ipswich, Suffolk, in readiness for the divorce suit between Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Aldrich Simpson, expected to come up for hearing next week before Mr. Justice Hawke.” There was absolutely no mention of King Edward’s friendship for the American-born “Wallie.” “King and Commoner” Is Topie. However, on a page nearer to the E|front of the magazine, News Review will devote more than a column under the subheading: “King and Com- T | moner,” to exposition of the discovery that the King can marry a woman not of princely lineage. Pointing out that “royal marriages contracted without consent are null and void,” the magazine, after tracing the regulations which govern mar- riage of members of the royal family, comes to the conclusion that the ! | King's “own consent given in council (not necessarily with the permission of the council) is all that is required for his marriage outside of royalty.” The divorce item will appear in a column adjacent to a departmentalized heading captioned “Advertising,” out- lining a campaign to boost world sales = |of tea. Hearing May Be Saturday. Despite the item’s reference to “next week,” Mr. Justice Hawke is expected by many to hear the Simpson di- vorce case on Saturday of this week. The leading hotel in Ipswich has been booked full-up for that date. Chief Inspector David Storier of Scotland Yard, the 200-pound detec- tive ordinarily assigned to the King, had help last night in keeping the curious away when Mrs. Simpson came home from a busy day at the hair- . | dresser’s, at the bank and in the shops.

Squadrons of Fascist bombing planes droned over the battle area, raining death amid the serried ranks of Social- ist attackers and wrecking the railroad station at Castillejos, 10 miles west of Aranjuez. On the northern front four Fascist columns consolidated their mountain positions ready to swoop down on his- toric El Escorial, 24 miles from Madrid. Fascist planes bombed and machine- gunned the intrenched defenders of the famous resort city three times. From the insurgents’ high posts Madrid was plainly visible in daylight. Near Robledo de Chavela a Socialist armored train was trapped in a moun- tain tunnel, cut off by dynamite- blasted rails at both ends—with Fas- cist machine-guns waiting the emer- gence of the rail crew from the tun- tel darkness. Defences Rushed. In Madrid every available man, woman and youth was mustered for defense of the siege-threatened cap- ital. Authorities rushed work on in- terior defenses while shovel squads hurriedly dug trench lines around the outskirts. & t St. Jean de Luz, Prance, Leftist sources reported that Asturian miners TOWNSEND, LEMKE HIT GERALD SMITH Long's Associate Disowned After Planning Anti-Com- munist Order. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, = October 21.— Union party and Townsend recovery plan leaders hastened to make it plain to- day that they and Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, associate of the late Huey P, Long, had come to the parting of the political ways. Both organizations formally “dis- owned” the Louisiana minister yester- day in statements issued after he an» nounced, at New York, that he plan- ned to form a national organization opposed to communism. Dr. Prancis E. Townsend, who took Smith into his recovery-pension plan group last June as a member of the board of directors, said in part: “Gerald Smith shall have no con- nection with our organization hence- forth, This is definite and final * ¢ * nationalism and centralization are both definite trends toward fas- cism, * ** Smith naturally can have no position in such an American in- stitution as the Townsend plan.” Equally prompt was the Union party’s disavowal of further Smith support for Representative William Lemke, its presidential nominee. Na- tional Campaign Manager John Ny- stul called Smith’s plans “so com- pletely at variance with the principles of the Union party, that I cannot too strongly denounce both Smith and those back of him * * *. “I want it distinctly understood that Mr. Smith in no way Trepre- sents the Union party or Mr. Lemke.” In his New York announcement, Smith withheld details of his new or- ganization—until after the presiden- tial election, he said, “so it won't appear it was created for political purposes.” * He denied having Fascist aims. had cut off the Fascist rescuers of Oviedo from the main body of in- surgent troops at Trubia, following bloody hand-to-hand fighting. ‘The miners, the reports said, circled around the insurgent position on | Mount Naranco, and charged up the rear slope, hurling dynamite bombs. ANARCHY SPREADS, PARIS HEARS Last Days of Socialist Regime Ap- proaching, Say Reports. PARIS, October 21 (#).—Tales of spreading anarchy, borne by refugees streaming into France from Spain, to- day spurred secret conversations be- tween Premier Leon Blum and the Argentine foreign minister, Carlos Saavedra Lamas, on the possibility of evacuating the refugees by air. ‘With reports indicating the last days of the Socialist Madrid regime may be at hand, Saavedra Lamas, whose country has been influential in freeing Spanish political hostages, conferred repeatedly with the French premier. It recently was announced the air- line “Air France” had re-established direct contact with Madrid, but since the use of its planes to rescue peraonl: college he went to teach the deaf, and in official positions might involve deli#| for more than 30 years taught at the cate political repercussions, it was be- lieved any proposal for such action would require the most careful study. Refugees were pouring into France in large numbers through Catalonia, one of the last avenues of escape for government supporters from the Fas- cist encirclement of Madrid. Several plane-loads of refugees ar- rived at Perpignan, asserting they had obtained authorization to leave Spain only over the repeated protests of re- maining government supporters. Others fled through difficult moun- tain passes. Many of them said the “bloody days of reprisals” were beginning, with uprising sgainst extreme Leftists in some quarters and round-ups of Rightists in others. Violent reaction against anarchists was reported in some parts of Cata- lonia. Fishermen, the refugees re- lated, imprisoned the directors of a “revolutionary committee” in _the Rosas Town Hall. Spanish author- ities in border towns have appealed for the help of Barcelona police, other | refugees said. Reinforcements were rushed from the provincial capital to prevent round-ups of border Rightists by the anarchists. Fender Work haleys 2020 M ST. N.W. Let Haley's Do It Right!
