sound like his own radio song:

Aaron Franks of Port

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 905')
Aaron M. Frank, whose -fine homes
have been a byword in show rings
all over the country, was stunned
today with tho Iors ot nine of his
moKt famous animals.
Four homes were shipped yes
terday to Imr Angolea and thus
escaped, and the others were to
have left soon.
OAKLAND, i'al.. Keb. 9. OP)
Fire of inysterioUH origin destroy- !
cd the Oakland Horse Show early t
today, taking at least three human
lives mid incinerating somewhere
between 4 7 and 80 blue blooded
animals that had been trapped in
their stalls.
Three persons, including a wom
an, were missing and may have
perished. More than a dozen at
tendants who had been In the
bullditiL' shortly before the fire
also remained unaccounted for but'
most if not all of these were .
thought to have escaped and failed
to report their safety. I
Kim officials estimated the loss
In horses at $500,000. Kighteen J
carloads of prize animals, valued
bv their owners at about $2,000,000
had boon shipped from the stables,
the showing having closed Satur
day night.

Df-Cai'natioiv-if'ai'm stables, Pomo
na, Calif., was the only una of the,
three dead who could be idcnli- (
fied. The ot iters were believed to
be Michael McCarthy, also a Car-'
nation stable employ', aitd a man i
known only as Murray. I
While the five was at Its height I
and horses were plunging, snort-1
ing and dying In the flames, a
woman was seen to flush into the
blazing structure as If to rescue aj
favorite horse. Later a woman's
purse containing 40 cents and a
check was found In the ruins.
No clue as to tho woman's lden-
tity could bo found except the '
check, which had been made all
but illegible by water. The c heck j
was dated December liO, 193d. for
$3.75 and the hnilly marred signa

Jnectidinrit-m Hint
Fire authorities said they had
detected the smell of gasoline
while fighting the flames, but had
no definite evidence of incendiar
ism. A fire sabl to have been
incendiary was found in the show
building on the opening night and
promptly quenched.
Firemen also asserted there hail
been no regulations prohibiting
smoking, and that sparks from
burning tobacco might have found
their way Into inflammable mater
ial to start the conflagration. The
buildings were temporary and
burned quickly.
Harold I Ryan, one of the j
attendants, was injured, ityan sum
he saw a man burn t'u death in a
stall.

decided upon this morning follow
ing a conference between Kiugsley
and bis attorneys, B. K. Kelly and
Thomas .1. KnriKht. who are as
sociated wilh Attorney Herbert K.
Ilanna, appointed hy the court to
detend Kingsley.
KinKsleyJs counsel stated that
tho motion for a new trial would
probably be filed late today and
that among tho grounds would be
alleged misconduct of tho district
attorney's office! before the trial,
and the alleged misconduct of
Jurors.
interview Basis
The allcgtd misconduct of tho
district attorney's offico is based
upon an Inlorview granted tbo
press in which II was slated that
credence was lent the theory that
Kingsloy was usslgned to slay Pres.
cott by a rum ring. Tho defense,
avers that the intimation that
Kingsloy was a "hired killer" was
prejudicial.
Jurors rending nowspapcrs, dur
ing the trial, will bo another basis
for a 1i'6vi vriaU-.On "the second day
of the trial the court cautioned a
Juror agulnst reading a' newspaper
lit tho jury box and requested the
juror to put tho paper away. '
Deniul of the defense plea for a
chango of venue will also be em
bodied In the motion for a new
trial, defenoo counsel said this
morning.

The latest legal move will prob
ably delay the departure of Kings

prison, scheduled by tho sheriff's
office, as soon as possible by train,
after the passing of sentence, to

Killng of an appeal to tho state
supreme court will automatically

Kingslcy slept late this morning
and was in a cheerful mood when
his counsel arrived at the county
juil. Hope has not faded from his
heart and he Is confident of a re
versal of the verdict.
Kingslcy believes that he "slept
soundor than any member of the
jury. What 1 did was on the spur
of Iho moment What they did to
