WOMAN WHO KILLED "HER RIVAL 1S FREED

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, March 12 (U. P.).—Mrs. Gwendoly Wallis, 31, began a new life today with the husband for whose love she fatally shot a pretty schoolteacher. Murder charges against Mrs. Wallis for the slaying of Mrs. Ruby Clark, 26, were dismissed yesterday when the prosecuting attorney said he did not believe a conviction was possible. She and her husband, Don wallis, who testified in her defense, left the courtroom together, A jury was dismissed last Thursday after it had been ‘deadlocked for 24 hours at 10 to 2 for acquittal. “I feel sure that a second trial would end the same way,” Prosecutor Taylor F, Peterson said. Mrs, Wallis was accused of shooting Mrs. Clark when she found her in a parked car embrace with Wallis. She pleaded her unwritten right to defend her home.

Mrs. R. Gets Lost Amid N.Y. Spots’

NEW YORK, March 12 (U. P). —Because she doesn't know her way around New York's night spots as well as she does around the world, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt took two tries last night to find 650 wounded veterans whose dinner she was to attend. The dinner was at the Cafe Zanzibar. The name slipped Mrs. Roosevelt's mind. She remembered only that she was to go to a ‘restaurant at Broadway and 49th st, At the corner she saw only the Turf restaurant, with no veterans, The Turf restaurant is on the ground floor and the Zanzibar on the second floor, Believing’ she had erred, Mrs. Roosevelt went home, The vet erans waited half an hour and then started to eat while their reception committee hovered anxiously at the cafe door. Finally, they telephoned Mrs. Roose-

velt's home, and she sald she'd be there immediately. She was.
