ALLEGAN, Mich. — The de- fense said that attractive Mrs. Edith Small will be allowed to tes- tify for the prosecution when her husband goes on trial today, charged with first-degree murder. Dr. Kenneth B. Small, a Detroit dentist, is accused of killing Jules Lack, a New York manufacturer, who, ‘Small told police, was steal- ing his wife’s affections. Leo Hoffman, defense counsel, said that Small would plead tem- Porary insanity. He also granted a waiver, permitting Mrs. Small to testify for the prosecution. A wife may not, normally, testify against her husband. Hoffman said Dr. Small was worried over his wife’s divorce ac- tion against him last April, after she had met Lack in Florida. He said that Mrs. Small had lent Lack $10,000 of lier $125,000 inheritance. Small worried too, Hoffman said, over the future of their three small sons. e Police had said earlier that Small told them he walked into the swank summer home near Al- legan where his wife, Lack and four others were spending the Memorial Day weekend. They said Small tolé them he shot Lack twice with a shotgun.

Palestine armistice commission. Reports of the latest incident came yesterday as the commission issued a statement blaming both Arabs and Jews for the June 30— July 2 shooting across the no-man s land dividing Jerusalem. The commission is scheduled to continue its discussion on that fray today. 3 Both Egyptian and Israeli sources accused each other of set- ting off the new, skirmish which broke out Saturday night near Gaza. Egypt accused Israel of armed aggression at the frontier post of Deir Elbalah and demanded an emergency meeting of the armis- tice group. A detailed charge made in Cairo said besides the six Egypy- aans killed, four were missing and two wounded. An Israeli spokesman said one Israeli soldier was killed and two wounded in an Egyptian attack on vee Israeli patrol near the Gaza P. Commenting on the earlier shoot- ing in Jerusalem in which nine Persons were killed and 52 wound- ed, Maj. Gen. Vagn Bennike, Dan- ish chief of the armistice eommis- sion, said both Israel and Jordan had violated their cease-fire. But he added it was impossible to tell Gripping Mystery Drama To Show At The Monroe Bringing two outstanding stars together for the first time, Re- public’s dramatic suspense thril}- er, “Trent's Last Case,” opens Wednesday at the Monroe Thea- ter with Michael Wilding and Margaret Lockwood ronjantically teamed and pitting their wits against the sinister plottings of co-star Orson Welles. “The film, which was adapted from E. C. Bentley’s classic mys- tery novel of the same name, grips from start to surprising fin- ish and it is notable for some| first class acting, not only on the part of the stars but the excel- lently cast featured players such as John McCallum, Miles Malle- son, Hugh McDermott, Jack Mc- Naughton and Sam Kydd. Moving at high speed, the story opens with the death of Sigsbee Manderson, but it is not until Philip Trent (Michael Wilding), famous detective chamacter of fiction, has been thwarted at his first attempt to solve Mander- son’s death, that the audience realizes that here is a mystery far above-average and one to tax the brain of the most enthusiastic armchair detective. A 55-year-old man needs twice as much light to see objects of night as he required when he was a teen-ager. Printing... Embossing Engraving ...
