'BACK FROM HIS death: man is HELDJMPOSTOR Trial of Five for Torture Murder Will Proceed Despite ‘Return.’ By United Press MOUNTAIN VIEW. Ark., Pec. 9. Return of Connie Franklin, alive and smiling, failed to change the status of five men accused of torturing and murdering him during an alleged “reign of terror” in the Ozark mountains. Sheriff Sam Johnson announced today that the defendants will be brought to trial on Dec. 16, and Hugh Williamson, prosecuting attorney, who investigated the alleged killing, said he would demand that they “pay with their lives for the murder of Connie Franklin.” Tillir Ruminer, the mountain girl whose story of assault led to indictment of the five alleged night riders on charges of torturing Franklin to death and burning his body, met Franklin Sunday, but refused to recognize him as her former suitor. “Why, hello, Tillir,” Connie said. “Come on, Tillir, you know I’m Connie." He asked her if she remembered when he sang “Lonesome Pine.” There was no response and he sang one verse. It was a pathetic attempt and Tillir only turned and left him. “If that is Connie Franklin, he’s changed since I last saw him.” Tillir told Sheriff Johnson. Tillir, the state star’s witness, is being kept at the home of Sheriff Johnson. Reuben Harrell, 20, a shoemaker and a deaf-mute, looked at the man and said he wasn’t Franklin. Harrell la living at the sheriff’s house and will testify about the killing of Franklin, Williamson said. People came from far and near to see Franklin. He was questioned and examined almost all day. His patience seemed unlimited and he walked, took off his hat, talked and chopped wood willingly. The five men charged with murdering Franklin are Joe White, Herman Greenway, Alex Fulks, Bill Younger and Hubert Hester. CHRYSLER BUILDING TALLEST IN WORLD New York Structure Rises to Height of 1.030 Feet. Rji Times Special NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Walter P. Chrysler announced today that the Chrysler building, with steel construction completed, rises to a total height of 1,030 feet. The structure now is the tallest which ever has been erected anywhere in the world, according to Mr. Chrysler, who is president of the W. P. Chrysler Building Corporation. Supremacy in high construction, which has remained with the city of Paris for the last forty years, since the Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889, is now transferred to New York. The Chrysler building exceeds by more than 100 feet the height of the second tallest habitual structure in the world. Rising skyward more than 1,000 feet, the building in its uppermost part is well above the 984-foot Eiffel tower, the 925-foot Manhattan Company building and the 792-foot Woolworth building.

The second degree murder case against Charles Brown, 45. 829 South New Jersey street, in which he is accused of fatally shooting his wife, Mrs. Alma Brown, 45, at their home in August, was expected to be in the hands of a criminal court jury before court adjourns today. This morning a motion of the defense for an instructed verdict of not guilty because “the defendant was insane at the time he committed the act” was overruled by the trial judge. The state began the presentation of rebuttal evidence shortly after the defense case was rested. Closing arguments were to be made during the afternoon. Brown did not take the stand in his own defense to tell the jurors why he shot his wife in the back five times as she tried to escape him. He has pleaded he was temporarily insane when he committed the act. Mrs. Brown, who had been married previously, was the mother of four children. The defense has attacked the character of the dead woman, seeking to prove by several witnesses that she had been seen in the company of other men prior to the murder. Brown is alleged to have been caught by police while he was preparing to flee the city two days following the shooting. His captors testified he threatened “he would get them when got out of this.” Judge Thomas E. Garvin, civil municipal court judge, is cn the bench. The state’s case, which was rested Friday, is in charge of Deputy Prosecutors Paul Rhoadarmer, and William R. Ringer. T. Ernest Maholf is defense attorney.

Under direct examination, Miss Crenshaw was led through details of the supposed relationships among the millionaire broker, her mother and herself.

Bn Bcripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—People continue to move from the farm to the city, and farm population has declined 4,500,000 in nineteen years, Agriculture Secretary Hyde said today in his annual report. Farm land values declined in 1928, Hyde said, though at a slower pace than in former years. A 1 per cent decline in 1928 brought average farm land values down to a point 20 per cent lower than t v sy were in 1924, if measured by the purchasing power of other commodities. He estimated farm population as Jan. 1, 1929, as 27,511,000, compared with 32,076,000 in 1910. Hyde said 1,960,000 persons moved from the farm to the city in 1928 with a movement of 1,362,000 from the city to the farm, a net loss of 598,000 to the farm. This compares with 604,000 in 1927, and 1,020,000 in 1926, with the high point of the migration at 1,120,000 in 1922. HAIL RUBIO’S ELECTION New Mexican President Honored in Military Civil Services.

L

AUCE WHITI3 liar of “The Girl From Woolworth'd". “Plnylnn Around” and “Bronilwny ISiihlen.” Alice White, like scores of Hollywood stars, has taken the advice of physicians and found how quickly colds disappear after a few pleasant doses of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. “During a recent dance,” says Miss White, ”1 became overheated on the dance floor and walked out on the veranda to cool off. Asa result X caught a severe cold. The next day my head and chest were so congested with cold that the director advised me to stay at home. He realized that my hoarse voice would simply spoil the picture. “That evening the cold was worse and I was advised to take Ayer’s Pectoral every 15 minutes until congestion began to clear up, then once every two or three hours. “By night my fever was gone. I was able to sleep without coughing. The next day my voice cleared up so that I could work —and in just a day or so I was astonished to find that all trace of the cold had disappeared. No wonder Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is a necessity to players, especially now that talkies demand that one's voice be kept free from the effects of a cough or cold.”

Robert Montgomery starring in “Untamed,” “Three t# I▼ e Ghoa ta” and “Happy Day#.”

Mr. Montgomery had been working all day in the warm studio. That night, without taking time to cool off gradually, he rode for hours in the chilly night air. The next morning a severe cold made him feel too miserable to work. Worse, still, he found that hoarseness impaired his voice. Then, remembering the advice of physicians, he started taking a spoonful of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral every 15 minutes so that his cold would be relieved in time to resume work at the studio the next day. “The quick relief from Ayer’s Pectoral was certainly remarkable." says Mr. Montgomery. “Almost immediately my cold began to disappear. By night I was a great deal better and the next morning I awoke with the welcome freedom from congestion. Ayer’s Pectoral licked the cold completely and I was able to resume work without needless loss of time.”

I simply could not put energy into anything I did. And, to make matters worse, I dreaded to stand before the microphone with the full knowledge that the slightest hoarseness, cough or sneeze w r ould spoil the picture. “That evening I started in earnest to get rid of the cold. Every 15 minutes, for nearly three hours, my maid faithfully brought me a half spoonful of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. The taste was really tempting and I enjoyed a refreshing night’s sleep withtnit being bothered by coughing. Soon I was really surprised to see for myself how quickly my cold disappeared.”
