WIFE IS WITNESS AGAINST HUSBAND (Continued From Page 1) now, slit; went on, “but I swear my husband was always wonderful to me before this happened all through the eight years of our married life. He was a wonderful father to our little girl, too. I love him dearly and will stick by him always.’’ No Reason for Jealousy Reminded that last November she had declared Foltz to be of an insanely jealous disposition and that she had always had to use extreme care not to incite jealousy in him, she was reluctant to repeat the statement. “I never gave him any reason to be jealous,’’ she said evasively. “Under the excitement at that time, I may have said some things that sounded like that, but I didn’t mean them,” she asserted. “Especially if I said then that I no longer loved him, I was mistaken. I do love him. I always shall and will stick to him whatever happens, as any wife should whose husband Is in trouble. Certainly I’ll forgive him and I’ll be his wife if he is released. That’s my great hope—that the jury will realize that he didn’t mean to kill when he fired—only meant to protect me.” Witness for Roth It is understood both the State and defense plan to use Mrs. Foltz on the witness stand. Throughout selection of the Jury by Deputy Prosecutor Judson L. Stark and Frank A. S.vmmes, attorney for 1< oltz, the wife eagerly observed the proceedings. The child came to the courtroom his morning and sat on her father’s lap at the defense table, with her arm around her father’s shoulder. The story of Foltz’s surrender and confession was related to the jury by Municipal Court Bailiff Oscar Merrill. Brough! Gun. Merrill told the jury Foltz came to his home on the following day or the second day after the shooting and handed him a gun declaring “I guess this is what you want.” I' oltz told Merrill that on the night of the shooting he had left to Instruck a fellow lodge member and returned home to get a book. On approaching home he saw a man enter the house, the bailiff testified. The defendant said he returned to his auto and got a gun, according to testimony. In his confession Foltz told Merrill he saw his wife in the mans arms and shot through the kitchen door, firing three other shots as the man ran to the street, Merrill stated. Merrill testified Foltz told him he had previously seen the man talking with his wife over the back fence and on the porch of their home. He testified that Foltz said he told hi.s wife, “we are living happily and I don’t want any roomers around the house. It’s too much trouble to fix up a room.” Visit Scene The State will nttempt to prove that Foltz had the gun in his car because he was jealous of his wife. Stark asked Merrill why Foltz went to get the gun. “He said lig thought the man a burglar,” Merrill replied. Many of the jurors sat on the edge of their chairs during the hearing. The jury adjourned early and visited the Wyoming St. address. William Creedon, 915 S. Delaware St., living near the former Foltz home, who heard the shots, and Detectives Arthur Fields and Herman Rhodamacher were the first State’s witnesses today. Uilburn Grayson, cousin of the victim, was on the stand for a short time. The murdered man’s aged mother and a sister, -Mrs. Ottie Tapp, were in the court room. Others to be called: Lieut. O. D Thomas, Deputy Coroner U. B. Hine and other police officers, and William Miller, into whose home Mrs. Foltz ran after the tragedy. TO USE GAS TAX FUND Board of Works Decides Not to Wait on Appropriation Action. If the city council fails to appropriate the $136,000 gasoline tax fund at Its next meeting the works board will proceed to use it anyhow, the board declared Monday. The law requires that this fund be appropriated by the council for street and bridge repairs only. City Attorney John K. Ruckelshaus, in an opinion to the board, declared it would be legal to use the money if the council failed to appropriate it. His opinion was upheld by Lawrence Orr, State board of accounts chief examiner. SENATOR TALKS CHINA Robinson Says Protection of U. S. Interests Should Be Limit. Protection of American residents in China should be the limit of America’s activities In revolt-ridden China, Senator Arthur R. Robinson told members of the Irvington Republican Club Monday evening. “We should, of course, protect our own national interest in China and then keep out of the controversy,” he declared. Japan is standing by, “allowing other nations to wear themselves out protecting their own interests and those of others,’’ Robinson asserted.

U. S. ASKED FOR STRONGER MOVE (Continued From Page 1) Parris Island, S. C., base, leave on a special train tomorrow afternoon for San Diego.

The Henderson probably will steam from San Diego Monday morning on the twenty-two-day sea trip to China. Moral Effect Counts Passing over the moral effect, which already has been large, the actuality is almost insignificant—--1,500 marines, who would be lost in an average-sized American town minus their uniforms and equipment. During the Woild War such a movement would have attracted almost no attenion. Today it is heralded far and wide. Newspaper reporters Hashed the news of this expeditionary force when it was made public and have been scurrying about since to get the details. All who go have become heroes overnight. This, of course, is because of the moral effect that the mere order for their dispatch had in the face of the increased threat at Nanking after the first contingent of marines had gone to China. It was just as great as if an army had been sent. It meant that the United .States is ready to protect its nationals, ready to send more troops if necessary. ORDERS BRITISH OFT Consul at Changsha Acts After Sailors and Chinese Fight. 811 United Prcaa SHANGHAI, March 29. —The British consul at Changsha today ordered immediate evacuation of all British nationals there after a slight engagement involving British sailors from H. M. S. Woodcock and Chinese. The situation at Changsha was described as extremely bad in dispatches received here. The Chinese commissioner for foreign affairs at Changsha issued a statement demanding that the British sailors involved in the clash be surrendered “to permit us to take drastic action.” The statement also demanded withdrawal of British warships. It was understood the commissioner of foreign affairs had withdrawn extra-territoriality rights from all British subjects at Changsha. Fear of Attack Hankow and Wuhu were other danger points today, and attention of foreign consulate officials and refugees here was focused on those two cities, where it was feared antiforeign agitaton might spur natives to attack the few foreigners remaining in them. It was reported from Hankow that Canionese pickets there invaded the Japanese and French concessions and insulted residents. All Japanese women and children in the city were concentrated in the concession and many took refuge on ships. Chinese Aroused At Wuhu natives were aroused by propagandist banners charging thousands of Chinese had been killed in the brief American-British bombardment of Nanking. The highest estimate of Nanking native casualties made in responsible nationalist quarters, however, was 2,000, and that figure, all news sources indicated, was highly exaggerated. The refugee situation was becoming acute, with hundreds of missionaries and others from interior cities concentrating inside the settlement. Most of them had been forced to flee from their homes without baggage, and scores were without funds. No attempts to relieve the congestion by sending refugees back to their native lands had been made, as all efforts of the consular staffs had been devoted to preventing further disorders In interior cities of the Yangtze valley. Seven half-starved Americans arrived at Shanghai today from Kingyan in a small native junk. Scantily dad and with little food, they had traveled a hundred miles down the river in six days in the boat. Twice they went ashore seeking food, they said, but each time Nationalist soldiers or roving gunmen drove them back to their boat. Wires Working Again Telegiaph service was restored today to Hankow. Hangchow. Ningpo, Shaoping and Wenchew and roports from all parts of the Yangtze Valley indicated the first surge of rabid Nationalism which followed the Cantonese capture of Shanghai and Nanking had died down. Japan will hold Chiang Kai-Shek and the Cantonese government responsible for the Nanking incident, the cabinet decided 'pday, sayß a Tokio dispatch. Raid American Mission An American Catholic mission at Patchau in southern Kwangtung has been looted by Chinese, reports here said. The fathers took refuge in Kawchow. No casualties were reported. Americans in northern Honan and Anhwei provinces were ordered evacuated by the legation here. Virtually all foi-eigners have left southern Shantung. Anti-foregn feeling was reported increasing to dangerous proportions at Ichang.

DEARTH EXPLAINS BEFORE SENATE (Continued From Page 1) fled to by Murray. Dearth said he suggested that Murray have his own commissioners. Questioned by Attoxney Frederick Van Nuys, his chief counsel, Dearth stated he was 54, that he had lived in Delaware County for forty-seven years, that he was born in Ohio, was married and had a family. He stated that he had had two children one of whom was dead. Tells Life History Dearth traced his schooling at Royerton (Ind.) how he went to Valparaiso College, from which he did not graduate, that he taught school for seven years and then went to Indiana Law School. He also stated that he had worked on a farm, been a factory employee and labored in a brick yard. Each answer was made in a slow deliberate fashion. He quickly told of being elected and serving two terms as prosecuting attorney, from 1899 to 1903. He did not lay any sti-ess on these two terms. He then told of serving as Delaware Circuit Court probate commissioner for four years. “What kind of a platform were you elected on?" Van Nuys asked. “On a platform of law enfoxcement.” “Do you remember the incident refen-ed to in the testimony of Harry Lanning, principal of the Emerson school?” This conversation, according to lanning, took place at a polticai meeting and Lanning testified that the judge had admitted that juries were being selected for the purpose of securing convictions. Tells of Talk Describing the convexaation Dearth gave it the following interpretation: "I had made a little talk and after the political part of the meeting—Lanning, my wife, John Hampton and others were theie—l said. It has been said in George Dale's Post-Democrat that grand juries are being packed and ai*e hand-picked. Folks, that isn’t true, but I am for John Hampton (then jury commissioner), because John has always picked good juries and if they call that hand picking them, all right.’ ’’ His acquaintance and twenty I years friendship with Jacob Cava- | naugh, jury commissioner, was then related by Dearth. He gave a hisI tory of his twelve-year service as j teacher of the Sunday school class ; of the High Street. M. E. Church to which he and Cavanaugh belonged. Cavanaugh was president of the class. Getting to the appointment of Cavanaugh, Van Nuys brought out the following: “After I had been elected in 1922, I called Mr. Cavanaugh to my office and told him that I wanted him to be my jury commissioner. You are exactly and identically the man I want. “He told me that he would think it over, which he did. When he came back he said that he wasn’t a freeholder, that a juxy commissioner had to be a voter, a freeholder and a householder. He also said that he 1 had about SB,OOO in a house on Jackson St., but that it was in his wife’s name. Describes Sale “I said to him. ‘Why not buy a cheap lot, it doesn’t matter if it is a foot square or twenty feet square or 200 acres.’ So then my wife and I deeded him twenty feet off the back end of our lot.” "Why did you want to appoint Cavanaugh?” “Because I knew that he was a man of high standing, honest and conscientious, and acquainted with many people throughout the county.” Denying he attempted to influence the selection of jurors in any way, Dearth declared that he ever asked for anything but good citizens. Selection of women juxars was explained by Dearth. He said that he had a talk with the commissioners. told them that women are “now voting and have equal suffrage and I can see no reason why they shouldn’t serve as jurors, hut they could use their own judgement.” Dearth denied that he ever gave Cavanaugh a list of names to be drawn as jurors or a list for any purpose, as had been testified to by Shaw. “After an ex-convict served on one of the Julies. I told Deputy Shexiff Inlow that after this I wanted only good citizens on the jury and asked him to let Deputy Clax-k go out and get them, as he knew who they j were.” the judge testified, in defending his alleged favoritism of Clark for Serving jury subpoenas. Clark was a prosecution witness and took credit for a long list of jurors whom he could call by phone. “Were you in any way to blame for the juries composed entirely of women?” Van Nuys Inquired. was not,” the judge countered. “I know that the regular panel was composed of both sexes and I didn't suggest getting women to Clark.” Conversation With Shaw Asked what he had said when Attorney Francis Shaw told him that his juries were corrupt, the judge continued: "I said, ‘Francis, that is a pretty broad statement.’ ” According to his testimony Shaw then told him that he would get into i trouble if he listened to advice of Attorney Wilbur Ryman and he retaliated by saying Shaw would get in bad if he listened to Bootlegger John Cox and Editor George Dale. The failure to indict Pete,Barlow for running a gambling house was also touched on by the witness, who

"T did tell the foreman, Mr. Jester, that if thex-e was sufficient evidence they should indict, and that if not, I would take it up with the next grand jui-y.” He denied turning down Clell Maple when the Muncie manufacturer came to his house and asked assistance in cleaning up the town. In explaining his letter to the prosecutor asking that charges against McAuley be dropped he declaimed that he had learned that conditions at the jail had been remedied.
