TRIAL OF HICKMAN
AS 1UST SLAYER'
OPENS IN 'FRISCO
Broadminded Jury Not to Be
Influenced by Admitted
Moral Indiscretions
Woman Is Chief Witness
SAN FRANCISCO, July 11. (UP)
Eight men and lour women who said
they would not be Influenced by Mil
lard Hickman's admission that n
spent the night of Louise Jeppeson'a
murder with another woman were
Beated In the jury box late yesterday.
The "broadminded" talesmen must
determine whether the middle-aged
engineer, father of two girls, shall
hang or go free for the lust-slaying
of the pretty 23-year-old Sunday
school teacher In Oolden Gate park
last May 13.
Drama of the sordid case began to
unfold Immediately.
The torn and blood-stained cloth
ing worn that Sunday morning ty
the little Mormon girl from Ogden,
Utah, were carried Into the court
room.
S. T. Jeppesen, Ogden banker and
brother of Louise, aeBcrlbed how he
Identified the battered, outraged body
of his sister In the San Francisco
morgue.
His voice was metallic, each word
distinct and poignant with suppress
ed emotion. He stared ceaselessly at
the partly-bald plnce-nezzed defend
ant. Before testifying, he told newspaper
men:
"I hope Hickman hangs. I'll not
be satisfied until he pays the su
preme penalty."
Louise's sister, Mrs. Ruth Jeppesen
Dunk ley, sobbed hysterically when
the clothing was admitted In evi
dence. She seemed near collapse.
In accepting the Jury, Defense At
torney Harry A. McKenzie made sure
that no talesmen would be preju
diced against Hickman because of
moral indiscretions he admitted.
The chief defense witness will be
blonde Blanche McKay, 25, who Is ex
pected to testify she shared Hick
man's apartment with him at ap
proximately the hour when Louise
was beaten and strangled to death In
bushes of the park.
The trial was adjourned until to
day after testimony of Dr. Sherman
Leland, autopsy surgeon, who said
strangulation caused Miss Jeppesen's
death. When her body was found by
a stableman the belt of her suit was
knotted around her neck.
Under cross examination. Dr. Le
land said death follows strangulation
In approximately 14 minutes, and
rigor mortis might set in immediate
ly, or not for several hours.
Rigor mortis was evident when he
examined Miss Jeppesen at 10 a. m..
Indicating she probably had been
dead at least five hours, he testified.

PARIS. (AP) "Show your ears and
forehead" is the rule for chic heads
thla summer.
Shorter hair Is "In" again. Coif
fures for young heads are swept
gently back from the face and often
curled close to the back of the head
in a manner reminiscent of a shin

Ears are definitely In the picture.
Though they may not show entirely,
most of the smart coiffures leave In
view at least the lower half, often
ornamented with an earring.
Foreheads can be s e e n, too.
"Skinned back" effects are by no
means smart, but semi -windswept
effects, curled softly back from the
forehead as though blown by the
breeze, are "the thing." They sound
a note of serenity in keeping with
the oriental clothes so much In
vogue this summer.
"Free and Easy" Curls
The newer closer cloffures are
done in many ways. The favorite la
one waved softly back from the
forehead and cupped up in a series
of crisp but "free and easy" little
curls In the back. Another is brushed

Urgent Care of Pope Pius
Drop in Income Noted
On Account of Depression
Bv THOMAS B. MORGAN

ROME (UP) The continent of
America subscribed 46 per cent of
the total of nearly $40,000,000, which
was collected In various ways for the
Catholic missions during the ten
years 1922-33.
The United States alone contributed
$17,000,000, the hghest of any coun
try in the world.
Next to the United States In the
order of size of donations, come
France with 59 millions; Italy with
36 millions; Germany with 30; Spain
with 12 millions; Argentina with over
10 millions and Ireland with 11 mil
lions. Missions Pet Project.
The work of providing funds for
the missions is one of the most urgent
cares of Plus XI, who has been called
"the Pope of the Missions," owing to
the very great interest he has shown
In this work.
The depression has not spared the
funds of the Congregatalon of the
Propagation of the Faith, which Is the
Vatican bureau that organizes the
missionary work; collects the funds
and spends the money received.
The holy father has shown him
self deeply moved by the generosity
of the Catholic world, which, despite
the depression, has contributed four
million dollars to the missions for
the heathens in foreign lands.
Noted Drop.
His Holiness has noted the drop of
four millions, which Is a significant
one, and,, while he Is thankful that
It Is not more, he is reported to have
said when someone referred to him
as "Pope of the MlMlons," that "it
is not enough to have a 'Pope of the
Missions'; there must also be the
millions of the missions which will
sustain our work of conversion."
Plus XI has created special de
partments of the Congregation for
the Propagation of the Faith, as, for
example, the special bureau which
has taken charge of keeping the faith
alive In Bolshevist Russia, at the head
of which bureau he placed the able
French Jesuit Monslgnor D'Herbigny.

of the temporary trestle which will
carry trains across the highway while
the highway contractors finish the
path for the new crossing.
Thirty-five men, comprising an en

tearing down fences and right of way
strctures that would interfere with
the moving of the rails and the
