Tad Shelton has undertaken a
bit of scientific research Into the
question of whether a Scotchman
ever has a middle name. Up to date
a census by himself and emissaries
falls to reveal one.
However, we think we can help
him out. There's William McGll-
chrlst, Jr., for instance. Isn t his
middle name McGilchrist?
We haven't found out from Tad
i to whether Scotchmen are too
tight to give middle names to their
children, or whether they have mid
dle names and are too tignt to use
them. Maybe this Information will
come out later.

BILLINGS NOW
SEEKS PAROLE
Folsom Prison, Cal., April 21 (IP)-
Despairing of a 15-year fight for a
pardon. Warren K. Billings, co-de
fendant with Tom Mooney In the
San Francisco bombing case, an
nounced his willingness today to ac
ccpt a parole.
Waiting anxiously in his cell for
Governor Rolph's decision today on
the Mooney case, Billings revealed
for the first time he was ready to
make admission of guilt In order to
win release from prison.
The diminutive 39-year-old con
vict still protests his innocence, and
in years past has made numerous
fiery tirades against his conviction.
But 15 years behind bars nave rob
bed him of his old ardor.
All that time he followed Mooney's
ideal that "nothing but a pardon
would do." He claims now, in fact,
that he would only accept the pa
role "under certain conditions." It
was evident, nevertheless, that he Is
anxious to get out of prison in al
most any way possible.
Billings In recent months ' has
been the "silent partner" in the ease.
Since his break with the Mooney
defense league he has had little to
say concerning his co-defendant.
He is not a little bitter over being
"edged out of the picture." .

Spreading over the entire province

wind of cyclonic proportions, the

storms had prevailed the previous 24
hours.
Telephone and telegraph poles
were snapped at several points and
wires were scattered on the ground.

FOR DISMISSAL
EMPIRE TRIAL
Judge Walker Refuses
Demand for Instructed
Verdict for Defense
Witnesses for Defense To
Complete Evidence
Probably Friday
Dallas, April 21 Defense witness
es took the stand for the first time
Thursday afternoon following a
lengthy argument between attor
neys in the trial ot Frank J. Keller,
Jr., ex-officer of the Empire Hold
ing corporation who is charged with
devising a scheme with intent to
defraud, after Circuit Judge Arlie
G. Walker denied a motion for a
directed verdict made by Frank
Lonergan, defense, attorney. The
defense will complete Its case "early
Friday afternoon at the latest," At
torney Lonergan told the court.
Indications that considerable time
will be taken up by the defense In
its final plea to the Jury came when
Attorney Lonergan did not agree
with the suggestion of Barney
Goldstein, special prosecutor, that
arguments be limited. The case
will probably not go to the Jury
before Monday, Judge Walker stat
ing that he would not charge the
Jury late Saturday as such a pro
cedure would be unfair to the Jury.
"At the very worst, the best that
can be said against acts ot the de
fendants in this case Is that mis
representation has been made by
salesmen," Attorney Lonergan as
serted. He charged that the section
of the blue sky law under which the
Indictments were returned was un
constitutional in that It attempts
to delegate legislative powers to
the state corporation commissioner
and that the indictments, if any,
should have been brought under
Sec. 25-1325 of the Oregon code
which.covers the misrepresentation
and not the previous section which
covers the commission of crime
through Intent to defraud.
