'MEDFORD JEttL TRTBUNE, irEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDlCY, SEPTEfBER 22, 1931. P1'GE THREE DELAY OF DAY IN RESENTENCING Re-sentenclng of James E. Ktngs ly to bang for the murder of Sam . p. Prescott, Ashland policeman, last January, scheduled for 10 o'clock this morning was postponed by Circuit Judge H. D. Morton until the same hour tomorrow to comply with the provisions of the Oregon law, re quiring that 48 hours elapse be tween the filing of the supreme court mandate and sentencing. The postponement removes any possibility of a legal technicality arising over the sentencing and gives more time for compiling of the death warrant, a voluminous docu ment, and committment papers. - Klngsley will be taken to the state penitentiary by Sheriff Ralph O. Jennings as soon as possible after the passing of sentence. Word from Salem today conveyed the Informa- ; tlon that penitentiary officials had named the death watch to be main tained over the prisoner. He will be taken to Salem under heavy guard and manacled. The appearance of Klngsley In the courtroom will be the first time he has been In the sunshine since his return to the county Jail last June. He made no comment on the change In the official plans and spent his time, as usual, reading the Bible and praying. The courtroom was well filled this morning with people to hear doom pronounced. NOVEL FEATURES MARK The secrecy which has been so ; carefully maintained for many weeks as to the new Majestic radio, and about which rumors 'have flown thick and fast In radio circles, was torn away this week as over twelve thousand dealers simultaneously pre sented a complete Una of eight new models containing features nothing short -of sensational. Outstanding is the use of a new type of tube never before seen In this country, the glass of which Is covered with a heavy layer of solid metal that has been sprayed on. Thus each tube carries Its own "shield" against Interference, elim inating the need for round perfor ated cans, or square compartments In the receiver. This layer of metal, It Is claimed, also materially In crease the efficiency of the tube itself, and types sudh as multl-mu and screen grid thus coated can be f operated to give greater strengthen ing of the program per tube. Both the Idea and the method of applica tion, are it Is' understood, from Ger many. Exploring further In the labora tories and scientific fields of Europe, Majestic engineers Inspected a mar . velous receiver placed In the Science Museum In London, known as the "Perfect Quality Receiver," because developed by two leading British radio scientists to give the most per fect reproduction of broadcast music possible to the radio art at this time Aside from extremely careful con struction and design, Its leading ad vantage seemed to be the tuse of two "detectors" as compared to the customary practice of using but one. Adapting this development to Amer ican tubes and methods, Majestic presents this feature In several of Its new models. In collaboration with the Hazel tine laboratories, several years ago the originators of the famous neut rodyne circuit, the Grlgsby-Grunow designers have worked out an un usual and decidedly unique move ment In the superhetrodyne circuit, long known as the finest a manu facturer could use, which is termed the "modulated" circuit. Palmer Music House, Medford Ma jestic dealers, will show Vie new models this week. lumbeWllInpaid IS The suit of the "Medford Lumber company against 8. H.

The. burden that remained faintneoa and fore boding, the black night, terror, love and heart-ache the river would de vour It all. Brown, alugglsh waters that never told their secret . Juanita started, opened her eyes. Qabreau, who had often sat beside her bed as she lay 111, had drawn closer to her, was speaking more softly than before. "I know some'p'n else," and as Juanita looked at him, "Meester Btanard come to de Tijon many time. He telephone, too. One day when he come I am in de lobby, wipin' de tiles. He ask where you are and dey tell him yon and de marquesa have go away. Be say 'Where?' Dey tell him dey not know, but mebby you will come beck In lit' while. Dey say dey will tell you he' call when you come. He say, 'Let me know Instead dat she is here.' He turn 'round, and look at me and say In low voice, Do iou know where she 1st' Now why he ask me dat?" "I don't know, Qabreau. Perhaps you looked as it you knew." Gabreau looked hurt "I nevair look like dat way." "What did you say?" she asked. "I shek my head, and be go away. I am fool, yes, but all day I am sorry I shek my head." "Gabreau!" Juanita half rose. "You wouldn't tell him where I am!" "No. De marquesa here too. not even tell dat But I am sorry I sbek my head. He look so worry and he come so mooch. ... He love you, Juanita? Yes?. . . ." And as Juanita turned her face away to hide the tears, "I know he love you An' you love him. You cry his name when de fever burn you. You say too you will go police station and give yo' sett up. You say mooch things, Juanita but most you cry his name. An' so 1 know you love him. Dat is mebbe why I am sorry I shek my head. I wish mebbe he would find you, and tek you 'way." "He must never find me here.' "Why? Eef you are here he can not find you aomewheres else. . .' "He would not understand. Gab reau. I know what he believes ot women In places like this. I know what he would believe of me. Gabreau nodded. "I know. Like F1S. But me, I know when 1 see you. I not know sooch womens like you was In de worl'. I have only know like Flfl. But I know you when I see you." "Dear Gabreau!" she said, and laid her hand on his. "But there are other reasons, too. 1 must never see him again, 'and since I have gone out of his life, I'd rather go without his knowing this. It had grown dark in the room Gabreau, with her hand on his, did not stir. His eyes were closed, Vet light seemed all about him, strange and holy flame enfolding him. Her hand left his, yet still he seemed to feel it there. Always he would feel It there. . . . He wondered If she still wept. She wept so silently, not like Con- chlta's weeping. Presently her voice came. "I'm going down tonight, Gab reau. I'll have to dress." "You-'-go down?" "Yes. Molly's note. I'm better now. And I want to see Molly." When he had gone Juanita rose, getting slowly Into the black cos tume with Its spangled velL Slowly she went down the stair, wondering what Molly had to tell her. The parlor doors were Just opening. There was time to go In and see Molly now. Conchita came out as Juanita knocked on Molly's door. Juanita saw Divitt sitting In the dim room beside Molly's bed. He looked up and, seeing Juanita, made a dismissing gesture, shook his head. "She too sick now," Conchita whispered. "Tomorrow, mebbe." Juanita went Into the parlors. Not many were there. The crowd Mid-Victorian Hats Bringing Boom For Ostrich Feathers LONDON ( AP ) R7ival of the funny little bowler hats of mid-Victorian days, bas given new life to one of the world's waning Indus tries, ostrich farming. Feather merchants of London and the continent, faced with the boom ing demand for ostrich plumes for use on the new hats, have Issued urgent calls to the world's sources of supply for more feathers. Xlready three ships have "been chartered to bring thousands of feathers from Port Elisabeth, South Africa, to London. A large number of Incubators for ostrich eggs have been rushed over to Africa. ' 4 Hat tie Resmes White, teacher of piano. High school credits given Studio, 330 Laurel. Phone 449-M, was not the same. She and Gab reau were like ghosts revisiting a changed scene. At ten o'clock Con chita appeared In the parlor door, signaled to Juanita. "Molly. She ask ter jrou again." Conchita was sobbing aa they went through the court "Many time she have ask ter you. Divitt say no. But now anything Bhe aay,' Divitt stood by the window, his back to the bed. Molly lay white and small on the great pillow. Her eyes were closed. Conchita went to her side, ' "Juanita have come, bebby. , . ." Conchita's caressing words . A taint movement ot Molly's eye lids. Juanita drew nearer the bed as Conchita beckoned and made room for her at Molly's side. Juanita bent over the bed. "Mol ly," she whispered. Molly's blue eyes opened slowly. Something like a smile vanished from her face. She tried to lift her head. Her lips moved. Molly lifted a hand, pointed. Con chita and Juanita looked question- ingly around the room. Juanita leaned closer. "What la. It, Molly?" Such trouble In the great blue eyes. Molly pointed to the old bu reau. Juanita glanced about Con chita touched a drawer. Molly shook her head. Conchita touched the second drawer. The third. Mol ly smiled. Conchita opened the third drawer. A white silk shawl, embroidered In whiter roses. Conchita took the shawl out, held It up that Molly might see. -But Molly did not see. Rain falling In the court. Rain all day, all night Breaking clouds. A filter ot sunlight More rain. Somehow the parlors went on. Still Juanita, veiled and sljent, moved about In the changed crowd. The little note from Molly Molly's last message to her had begged that she return. Molly had wanted to say more but all she hsd had time to convey was her wish about the shawl. Conchita knew already what Molly wanted with the shawl, having heard her say. But appar ently Molly desired that Juanita should know too. Together they had folded it about her as she lay asleep, Molly looking all seraph at the last Juanita knew now that she would stay until the end, since Molly had wished It But the end was not tar. There waa a new chief of police. Places like Dlvltt'a were being closed dally under his regime. This would not happen to Divltt's unless It happened soon. The parlors would- die ot them selves, now that Molfr was gone, Divltt's heart was not In them. He had come In but once In the five days since Molly died. If they re vived It would be In the form of Divltt's Dive. Divitt would not need her Juanita then. He had said nothing about her going again with the marquesa. Now that he knew she was aware of the role In which he had cast her, he had said no more. Release would corffrs to her in some way be fore long. Divitt, If she knew him well, would pay her for her services In the parlors. She would go far away, even aa Kirk thought already that she had gone. Rain falling all day, all night A filter ot star light More rain. The marquesa sat In her room, listening to its drone on the bal cony. Its drip from the eaves. Di vitt would not let her go down Into the parlors. Divitt would not let her go out Into the town. She and Juanita were supposed to have left New Orleans. "For your own pro tection," Divitt had . said. "What with you anj Juanita taking French leave ot the Stanards " The TIJon had explained that Jua nita had been taken 111 that night, and that the marquesa had brought her home. Later the marquesa had written a note to Kirk, had written also to Mrs. Belalse under Divltt's direction. Juanita, wrote the mar quesa, after being suddenly very ill, was able to travel. She the marquesa was taking her to higher altitude. Where this higher altitude might be the Tijon was not Instructed to say, nevertheless, they were gone to It and the mar quesa must not appear on the streets. The marquesa would not ordl narlly have submitted to this clols tering. She would have wjjjidrawn to freer air, If not Indeed to hlghei altitudes. There were reasons, however, for her lingering and lin gering peaceably. (.CefrritU. Dedd. Mni A" Co.) Will the marquess's plan work? Perhaps the note the police get to morrow suooests an answer.

Roberts and Ous Newbury, by vigorously pounding his table and declaring: "You fellows stop your howling or I'll conduct this case without law yers."

Lamb, father o: the girl, when Attorne Roberts arose to assert, "I won't see anybody abus ed," and the court admonished, "You sit down, too!" j The case arose when the girl left) home Saturday, following a disagree-1 ment with her father, and the Jack son County Humane society was later requested to Intercede.
