MURDER TRIAL NEARING JURY Third Trial Os Ward Davis May (Jo To Jury Friday Vincennes, Ind., July 1 (UP) ■ i Both sides were expected to com-; plete presentation of evidence to- ( day in the third murder trial of j Ward Davie, 22-year-old former Pet-1 ; ersburg high school athlete, who is accused of shooting to death Annavieve France, his 17-year-old school girl sweetheart. The case wae expected to be placed In the hands of a Knox county | jury sometime tomorrow. At yeeterday's court session, Davis re-enact-ed circumstances under which the girl was shot. Seated on chairs placed side by side In the courtroom, Davis explained how he and Annavieve hail driven to the country and parked I He said he had a gun in his pocket I wnlch he had borrowed to kill some | dogs. I I While kissing Annavieve she felt ■ ' the gun, he eaid, and demanded to ; see it. The pistol then was placed 'on the seat of the car between them. “Ab I was shifting gears,” he said | "1 noticed that Annavieve had pick- • ed up the gun with her left hand.

She had the gun pointed toward, herself. 1 slid my hand from the gear shift and reached for the gun. Aa I did, she brought over her right hand and jerked the gun. It just went off ” Davis, who twice bad been convicted anj sentenced to life imprisonment but later granted a new trial by the state supreme court, maintained on direct examination that he loved Annavieve and they were to liave been married. W. LOWE BRYAN I (CONTINUED FROM j that he be allowed to retire today The permanent president who may relieve Dean Wells is expected to ■ be chosen by the trustees before I the fall term opens in September. Gev M Clifford Townsend asked I the trustees to select “an outstanding educator, preferably from Indiana," by that time. Dr. Bryan was graduated from Indiana in 1884 and has spent his entire life with the university. He served on the faculty from graduation until he was chosen president in 1902 and then served the longest term of any of the university's 11 presidents. Wells bei conies the 12th today. During his administration Indiana University showed its largest gains in enrollment, expansion of the curriculum and in construction of new buildings and addition of new equipment. ' Dr. Bryan also is widely known

among educators as the author of 1 numerous classical texts and other works. He plans to devote his remaining years to writing. Dean Wells graduated from Indiana in 1224 and Joined the faculty in 1930. He left it temporarily In 1933 to become secretary to the state department of financial institutions, supervising the division of banks and trust companies and the collection of statistics and research in the field. He aided In drafting Indiana's revised banking laws and is regarded as an expert in the financial field. He returned to the university in 1935 as dean of the school of business administration. POLICE 01 I K ER < rnvTTNVEn Know y» anF onici the stomach” by a brick hurled from the mob. Thomas called attention to a picture showing Lyons standing with his back to the mob. "How,” Thomas asked, "could you be hit in the stomach when your back was to the mob?" "Senator,” Lyons said, "that's a still picture, and I may have moved around a thousand times. The only good that picture is is that it shows that the Chicago police department was not looking for trouble." Lyons testified that, although he did not see it himself, he was told by other officers that they saw an American flag "dipped as if it was a signal for the riot to begin.” He said that a barrage of missiles then was hurled from thd mob, and: “In about 15 or 20 seconds I heard shots— bing, bing—just like that. I wasn't able to tell whether they came from the rioters or the police. All I could tell was that ' rhey came from the right of me. 1 “Then I heard about 50 shots. I ' r hey sounded just like a bunch ->f firecrackers on the Fourth of I July. Some of them came from in back of me. showing that the police must have been shooting in the air.” "Did you give any of your men orders to shoot?” LaFollette asked. “No, sir. I didn't even take my gun out of its holster." o TOWNSEND’S (CONTINUED .FROM FAQ strike was settled is not new. In at least two other cases strikers and employers signed agreements with the labor department when they I were unable to contract between I themselves. The department's neI gotiators literally have leaped into disputes to keep everyone calm and effect settlements. An instance of Townsend's oceaI sional wiliness was his so-called atI tack of tonsil'tis last week. It is generally known here that this was a ruse to allow the governor to havs I secret conferences with steel and labor leaders without any fanfare | until the negotiations had a fine | chance of success. Then publicity was unavoidable and to an extent, desirable. • ss((9 Townsend is not quite 53, is of

He has a not unpleaant ■ drawl with a distinct Hoosier twang which rises to booming proportions when he speaks. He is not a polish- • (d orator, but as a listener once said. “He Just talks to us." The governor is very accessible, | not having a private phone either at his home or at the office. He has a son. Max. who works for the state, and two daughters, one of whom diverted him at the peak of the strike negotiations Monday by eloping and getting marriedTownsend is a former school teacher and farmer, got his start in ipolitics when he ran for the legislature with agricultural backing and later became lieutenantgovdtnor. He took office as governor last January and is coming to be recogn led as a skillful politician and administrator with a cool, shrewd mind. His friends in Indiana have start-1 ed a boom to nominate him forth? vice-presidency in 1940. They were gleeful today as Townsend became not only a state but a national figure with his successful steel strike negotiations.
