Dr. Catton, non-plussed and nmnz
ed. backed away, then turned and
left the room as defense counsel, the
matron, and Dr. George W. Stephens,
defense alienist, attempted to quiet
Mrs. Judd.
Part of Show?
The defendant finally was per
suaded to return to her chair, mut
tering "I won't have him near me.
He talks about me. He's acted like a
little boy!"
She sat nervously clasping and un
clasping her hands glaring at the
doorway through which Catton had
disappeared.
Dr. Catton, before leaving San
Francisco to appear iu Phoenix ns n
witness, issued a statement in which
he said he was convinced Mrs. Judd
was sane, and that he expected her
to tell "the whole story of the crime"
before the trial ended.
Before the sudden outbreak, Mrs.
.Tudd sat with down-drawn mouth and
nervously shrugging shoulders, to ob
serve the seating in the jury box of
the 12 men who are to decide whether
she shall forfeit her life for the slay
ing of Agne Leroi.
Halloran Is Called
J. J. TTallornn, wealthy Phoenix
lumberman, whose name early was
brought into the case as that of i
friend of Mrs. Judd and her two vie
tims, Agnes Leroi and Iledvig Sam
uelson. was among the crowd of wit
nesscs brought into the courtroom to
bo sworn.
Halloran's name was given the
court clerk, but County Attorney
Lloyd J. Andrews did not include him
when he called the roll of his wit
nesses in the room.
Defense counsel did not call the roll
of its witnesses.
The jury of 12 men and one alter
note was seated without delay imme
dintely after court convened.
Herman LewkowitB of defense
counsel said Halloran did not appear
to he sworn as a defense witness.
"He was called by the state," Lew
kowitz said. "The county attorney did
not read his full roll.
Andrews declined comment.
State, witnesses went to the stand
rnpidly after court formalities bad
been concluded.
Mrs. Ernest K. Smith, nn employe
of the Phoenix clinic at which lioth
Mrs. .Tudd and Mrs. Leroi worked,
told of two telephone conversations
she had on the morning of October 17.
One was with Mrs. Judd and the other
ostensibly with Miss Leroi. The wit
ness testified to belief Mrs. Judd had
imnersonated Miss Leroi on the tcle
phone, the call having been made to
explain why Miss Leroi was not at
work.
The state contends the slnyings
took place on the night of October 10.
Mrs. ,j. it. .MCAtrntn ami nene Cun

New Doors at Pen and
War Is Declared
SALEM, Ore., Jan. 21. OP) A
"cell-breaking'' demonstration staged
at the Oregon state penitentiary to
day by Hal K. lloss. secretary of
hi iite, drew fire last night from Gov
ernor Meier.
Two convicts, with records as lock
manipulators, succeeded today in
opening the new cell fronts from the
inside when the locking device was
in neutral position, while Hoss and
newspapermen looked on. The Con
victs wero unable to open the fronts
when the locks were in "deadlock"
position. The devire is in neutral
position only when the men fire en
tering or leaving the cells. The cell
fronts have been accepted by the
board of control.
Both Governor Meier and Rufus C.
Iluhnan, state trensurer, members of
the board, expressed surprise when
informed of the Unsn demonstration.
In a formal statement Governor
MHer tinid:
"My attention has just been called
to the fact that a demonstration of
the working of the cell floors in the
new cell block nt the penitentiary wns
staged at noon today by .Secretary of
State I loss without the knowledge of
the other members of the board of
control. During the demonstration a
convict especially equipped with an
Iron bar maun Red to jimmy one of
the cell bars while the locks were in
neutral.
"The defect revealed nt Mr. IIoss's
demonstration was called to the at
tention of the members of the board
of control last week and while it is
not a serious one, the possibility of
a specially equipped prisoner operat
ing under the eyes of the guards le
inz a remote one, nevertheless King
Brothers (the instnliiiiK contractors
agreed to remedy it and are now nt
work on the equipment necessary to
do this, nil of whieh will be done he
fore itityment is authorized.
"I deplore the tinder hand method
pursued to discredit the nation of a
majority of the board of control who
approved the installation of the cell
doors, subject to the. correction of
the defect referred to above, and re
gret any action which might create in
the minds of the public the mistaken
impression that the cell doors are
not safe."

Data Presented to Bolster
Plea for 10 Per Cent
Wage Slash
CHICAGO, Jan. 21. fP) The
railway presidents came forward to
day with the "important statistics"
demanded by union labor in support
of the plea for acceptance- of a 10
per cent wage, reduction.
The presidents asserted that gross
earnings of the railroads In 1131 were
Uli per cent less than in 1PLM).
Their statement presented a mass
of data on railway earnings and an
swered the labor proposals at the
Joint wage conference.
The brotherhood and union dele
gates Tuesday had made clear they
would not accept the arguments of
the carriers on the need for adequate
investment return but they wanted ft
true picture of railway financial con
dition and a statement of what wns
needed to meet fixed charges and
maintain credit,
Daniel Willard, chairman of the
president committee of nine plunged
nt once into a statement of the- fi
nancinl itntus of the rails, saving .that
in 1P;J1, 72 companies failed by 1H I
million dollars to meet their fixed
charge.
The presidents made no substantial
concession to the lnbor program but
they assured tlm employe that Indi
vidual management would go a far
a they could to remove the fear of
unemployment. One of the principal
points in the brotherhood program
was a definite assurance of sustained
employment.

Fate Of Beautiful Daughter
Of Aaron Burr, Texas Legend
FREEPORT, Texas, Jan. 21. (U.P)
Out of the folklore of the Texas
gulf const country today came the
latest story concerning tho probable
whereabout of Theodosia Alston,
beautiful daughter of Aaron Burr,
who became one of history's most fa
mous missing persons
The most generally accepted story
is that Mrs. Alston, young wife of
Governor Joseph Alston of South
Carolina, teHM' id when a packet,
The Patriot, bst.md from Charleston
to New York foundered in a storm off
Cape Hattera.
If the latest story Is true, however,
it will bear out the opinions of the
more romantically inclined folk nf
the earlv Huh century, who believed
that Mrs. Alston, along with other
psssenges, was seized by buccaneers,
who then infested southern waters in
great numbers.
B It fable or fact, the story un
earthed by Mrs. T. A. Humphries, In
