—The defense in the triai of Clyde
Reese Bachelor, charged with slay
ing his father-in-law, Judge Lamar
Smith, won its contention befora
the court today yhen Judge George
I". Smoct ruled that the busine:ss mar
not connected closely with the de
fendant was not qualified to testify
concerning Batchelors mental condi
tion.
Despite losing the point at the
outset, the state wrote into the ree
crds the statements of five of Bache
lors intimates that nothing abnormal
in the man‘s behavior had been noti
ced recently ‘
While counsel argued, Bachelor
cagerly read the newspapers seem
ingly oblivious of the fight being
stoecd in his behalf. Beside Bachelor
sat his fatber W. Henry Bachelor,
who fanned his son occasionally.
Bachclor’s mother was on the other
cide and his two sisters, Mrs. Joe
Sanford, and Miss Mary Nell Bache

RARE BOOKCASES MAKE
:
DEBUT IN NEW PICTURE
One of these finest proofs of the
degire of motion picture producers
to ha%e ’tlu- settings for pictures
gonuine zllul[tn do away with cheap
imitations is secen in the library
scene in Gloria Swanson’s current
production for Paramount
“The Untamed Lady” In this set are
two eighteen-foot bookcases, filled
with books.
These cascs are perhaps the finest
examples of carved oak ever seen in
pictures. They are extremecly mas
sive, and very bit of them is hand
carved in a most claborate and artis
tie design of the Jacobean period.
' These book cases have quite a his-
I tory. They were brought to this
country from England by a wealthy
woman of Tenafly, New Jersey, and
installed in a forty-room residence
i that she was building. She only ob
' tained them abroad after much trou
‘ ble and at a heavy cost, because
they were so artistically carved that
!m;my collectors were trying to se
| cure them. ‘
' Gloria’s latest vehicle wasg especial
| ly written for her by Fannie Hoarst,
the noted American writer. It has a
) de luxe society background and was
directed by Frank Tuttle. Lawrence
~Gray, who played opposite her in
‘ “Stage Struck,” is again her leading
man.
