HARD-DRINKING HUBBY PICTURED IN INMAN CASE Guzzled From 9 in Morning Until 10 at Night. Wife’s Sister Testifies. pr- yRENO. Nev . April 3. The p: Jure of a husband who drank his whisky “straight." who always wanted his wife "to be a good sport’ and v.ho urged her to go to the theater with other men. was being drawn in the Walker P. Inman divorce ca: ” he as Helene Patton Inman's defense developed. The testimony war. that u Mrs Inez Schlor . sister ol Mrs. Inman, and promised to continue as out of the major ttwines of the deferences between the New York heir to the Duke tobacco millions and 1 lie daughter of a Kokomo <lnd.) minister. Tlic inierenee from the testimony was that Inman himself created the home conditions to which hr objected in the action for divorce. Definition of Drunkenness Mrs. Schlosr furnished a nc". Lanition of drunkenne - -.' hen a k"<; how she knew when Inman wa. intoxicated. "When he ings. he's drunk—and he can't sing." she said. Inman always drank "lots, be’ niore after his marriage. Mis. Schloss testified. "I don’t think I ever .saw him without a highball beside hie:" she said. “He would begin drinking about 9 o'clock in the morning and drink steadily until about 10 at night, when he would get sleepy and would go to bed." Vis’tcd Coast With Dancer Mrs. Inman objected to her husband's “straight" whisky drinking, but had little to ay about highballs. her sister said. Inman’s case closed with testimony of his secretary. Lee Baldwin, that the present value of Inman's stocks Is $1,341,407. Cross examination of Inman brought out that, he had visited Ban Francisco with Juva Marconi, dancer, a recent Reno divorcee. They both stayed at the same hotel in adjoining rooms. Tnman admitted, but were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. William Ingraham of Reno. Inman also admitted accompanying Miss Marconi to Reno parties, in company with the Ingrahams and staying out until 4 a. m. Paid for Wife's Divorce Mrs. Schloss contradicted much of the previous Inman testimony. She asserted Inman had paid for his wife's divorce from her first husband, to whom she was married w hen only 17. Further references to the question of children in tlic Inman family’ increased Mrs. Inman's nervousness Tuesday. She wept at, intervals and was forced to leave the courtroom. Mrs. Schloss declared Mrs. Tnman wanted children and even offered to adopt a child, but Inman said he “wanted no child, except one of his own.’’ More than half a billion horsepower still are available from the now known water sites of the world.

MARY WEBB PAINTS BIG POEM PICTURES Collected Poems and Prose of Late Author Makes Charming Collection for the Reader of Verse. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN [T is -on bad that the creative spirit of Mary Webb was forever stilied in death just when her poetic gentleness was becoming beloved and recognized. Her monuments to lame have been collected by E. P. Dutton Sc Compaiv Inc., ui a book titled “Poems and the Spring of Joy." Yr wiii find in her poetry the very fine quality of capturing the jerut; along with the realism of what she describes either in verse or prose. TT : strict detail in all of her poems but. this detail has not acted ■ a barrier . o her talents. She sees nature and gives it the correct

setting. \V- see this beauty in just a little thing she has named “April" and it is more- than appropriate right now. In this poem, at the very start, 1 i captured the real picture of spring. Here is. the proof: In April, in April My he* it is set W’.irr- : - p.r ' tl.c • told atld the And the dorr-folded lilir gro.v j. bord" n'l ".uii melted sno’*\ This seems to describe the barrier of winter in the soul ol the writer just as it tells of winter's barrier that just permitted spring to stick up its pretty but sensitive little nose. Again you catch the spirit of stern realism in her poem on “My Home Town" when she tells you: In (hi; old to-' n ! know so well I . d'dr ui heaven and in hell: And- '-i’ll is foil: - go to and fro With, fates of unthinkable woe. Ferocious as primaeval beasts. Or rapt as angels at. their feastr. Wiien close they press in silver rows While up and down the chalice goes. Mafie of a sapphire, tilled to the brim With God. In her “Farewell to Beauty'' she sings her own lament of being called to another land where the birds may sing no more. Then she asks: "Who'll watch the clover secretly unclose? and. "Finger the sycamore buds, afire with rose?” One of those most charming things in the poetry division of this book is the one devoted to “The Neighbor's Children." in which she tells you of the neighbor children running tq meet her, clinging to her dress and her desire to snatch them to her breast. Then you hear her outburst in a cry for a child of her own. - * And it is the voice ol the neighbor children ringing clear that penetrates her room. Rather reminds one of the charm of Longfellow. The last half of the book is devoted to “The Spring of Joy" in prose. And her prose has the ring of poetry because she was always the poet. There is an introduction by

DRY RAIDER TO FADE TRIAL FOR KILLING WOMAN Coroner's Jury Declares Illinois Victim Slain •Unnecessarily.’ BY W. F. SULLIVAN United Press Staff Correspondent GENEVA, 111., April 3.—Accused by a coroner's jury of killing Mrs. Lillian De King “unnecessarily” in a dry raid on her home in Aurora, Deputy Sheriff Roy Smith faced manslaughter charges today. Eugene Boyd Fairchild,* on whose word he bought liquor from Mrs. De King a search Warrant was issued for the fatal raid, also faced possible perjury charges, the jury holding that his affidavit was false. Coroner Herman J. Vierke prepared a warrant today for Smith, who is recovering in Elgin of a wound inflicted by Gerald De King, 12-year-old son of Mrs. De King, after the raider had killed the boy’s mother. Disposition of Fairchild's case awaited results of a conference be-

Repudiating his first story that he had bought a pint, of monshire from Mrs. De King, he admitted a friend, Philip Johnson, actually had obtained the liquor while lie (Pairchild) had remained in an automobile in front of the De King home. Johnson said he couldn't recall whom he bought the liquor from, but was certain it was not Mrs. De King. Joseph De King, husband of the slain woman and himself clubbed by Smith, retold the events of the night. He said he ordered the raiders from his home when they appeared the first time earlier in the evening
