A warning that "war talk too

sounded today by William R. Cas-

in an address before the Women's

of adequate preparedness.
"The department of state Is In

lines of better protection.
According to Alderman W. H
Dancy. chairman of the fire and
water committee, it won't be many
months before fire engines are
placed In each of the three general
residence districts north, south,
and east. An old truck which hze
been in the department several
years is now undergoing repairs.
When these are completed, this
truck will be placed east of the
railroad tracks. Later, when the
new truck arrives, one will be
placed in South Salem, and funds
will be provided from some fund
to purchaee still another truck for
North Salem.
When these trucks are placed,
and a number of new water mains
and fire hydrants are installed, In
accordance with a survey now be
ing made by the water company,
the city will be well protected
against fire.
Another great step toward com
plete protection, will be the pur
chase of a new modern fire alarm

nliehed for two or three years
however, as sufficient money will

A ewiitiy moving panamorana
of witnesses today marked Hick
man's trial.
Maomi Brittin, teacher at the
school which Marian attended, told
of Hickman's asking for the girl
on the pretext that her father had
been Injured on December 15, the
day he kidnaped her.
Mrs. Marion Holt, supervising
teacher of the school testified to
releasing Marian to Hickman with
out a doubt In her mind as to the
truth of the story he told. She
eald he was well groomed, calm
and quiet in his address.
Weapon Large One
Herman H. CUne, chief of Los
Angeles detectives, who directed
the hunt for Marian's killer, 'pro
duced the knife, with which, he
declared, Hickman said he dissect
ed the body. Larger than the or
dinar y pocket knife, but smaller
than a hunting knife, it was al
most new with blades encased in
an imitation staghorn handle. The
longest blade, about 4 Inches,
was the one Cline said Hickman
told him he used. Neither blades
nor handle appeared soiled.
CUne went over Hickman's con
fession to him on the train en
route from Pendleton, Ore., where
he was captured, to Los Angeles
He told of the "fits Hickman
threw," and his belief that 'they
were faked.
Welby Hunt, also from Hick
man's home town, Kansas City
Mo., an accused accomplice in the
murder at Christmas time, 1926,
of C. Ivy Thorns In a drugstore
holdup, was the next defense wit
ness.

In cross examination District
Attorney Aa Keyes asked Peck if
Hickman "seemed to know Just
what he was doing."
"Yes- sir; 111 say he did,"
the reply.
Divinely Guided, Belief
A reporter's interriew with
Hickman in his cell at the Los
Angeles county Jail next appeared
in the evidence. The newspaper
man, Lionel Molse, reported Hick
man as declaring he "did not
think" himself insane, but under
"omnipotent guidance."
Then Into the records went the
photographs of Marian Parker's
dismembered body, assembled by
police after Hickman had thrown
her head and torso at her father's
feet In exchange for 1500 and
searchers had found forearma and
legs wrapped in newspapers along
the highway through Elysian park.
White haired men and women
of the Jury and the veteran stern

they viewed for the first time con

Brother Lds Off
The opening witness of the af
ternoon session Was the prisoner's
brother, Alfred, 11 years old.
In rapidly spoken, well worded
sentences Alfred Hickman told of
outbursts of anger on the part of
his maternal grandfather, Paul
Buck, which led the witness to be
lieve that at times he was Insane.
He had. the same comment to
make on some of his mother's ac
tions and under a stiff eross ex
