OBENCHAIN Madalynne and Burch Face Judge In Superior Court Today—Lawyers Prepare For Battle. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7.—Madalynne Obenchain, beautiful divorce accused of luring John Belton Kennedy to his death in a "murder trap" at secluded Beverly Glen, and Arthur C. Burch, minister's son charged with shooting Kennedy in the back while Madalynne looked on, will both face Superior Judge Sidney Reeve today. The councils of brilliant criminal lawyers who will defend the two were engaged in energetic last-minute preparations early today for important issues to be met in court. Her Husband in Court Ralph Obenchain, Madalynne's divorced husband, who stepped aside and gave his wife her freedom when dashing young Kennedy entered her life, will appear in court at 10 o'clock this morning and urge Judge Reeve MUSIC ARRANGED FOR ELKS' CHRISTMAS CHARITY SHOW With the music for the production all satisfactorily arranged, every member of the cast faithfully in attendance at rehearsals and a great interest being shown by all, the big home talent musical comedy, "Miss Dolly Dimples," to be presented Monday night, November 14, at the California theater, gives every promise of being the most successful affair ever staged in this city. The choruses are now one gyrating galaxy of glorious, gleaming, glittering girls from the Pony ballet to the Amazonian supporters. Msr. Charles Habeson, an accomplished singer, is taking one of the leads in the part of Bess, undertaking the thankless job of chaperoning Dolly. The summer girls and boys are in all the latest dances. Bring your opera glasses for a glimpse of the Yama girls, says the director. There are 250 local people in the cast and choruses. Those who miss seeing this catchy play will be foregoing an opportunity to help the Elks' Christmas charity fund.

Ernest, owner of the Orange County Plain Dealer, averted possible damage by fire to the plant Saturday afternoon. Some large boxes in which equipment had been shipped had been nailed up by the express men without removing the hay which had been used as packing material. A blaze in one of the boxes caused some excitement but was soon extinguished. It is thought that small boys playing in the alley dropped a burning match or cigarette into the box. Three Yale Stars Hurt May Miss Tiger Game NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 7.—Yale counted three casualties when the Ellis started first work today for the Princeton game Saturday.

YOUTHS HELD AS PURSE SNATCHERS NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—Several boys, all 15 and 16 years old, confessed yesterday, according to the police of the Atlantic avenue station, Brooklyn, that in the last week they have snatched pocketbooks from eleven women on Eastern Park Way, Brooklyn.

Holland's Delegation Reaches Washington WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Ranks of foreign delegates assembling for the conferences which open Saturday were swelled today by the arrival of the Holland delegation and staff. They were met by Secretary Hughes and Admiral Koontz, chief of naval operations. The delegation is headed by Jonkheer H. A, Van Karebeek, minister of foreign affairs. General-Vacari, Italian chief of staff, and Admiral Acton, head of the Italian navy. THIEVES GET MONEY AT Henry Husband in Court Ralph Obenchain, Madalynne's divorced husband, who stepped aside and gave his wife her freedom when dashing young Kennedy entered her life, will appear in court at 10 o'clock this morning and urge Judge Reeve to dismiss a motion that the case against Madalynne be dropped. The motion was originally made by Charles Erbstein, Chicago criminal attorney associated with Obenchain in Madalynne's defense. It was based on the assertion that she had not been brought to trial within the required limit of sixty days after indictment. Action Arouses Interest Why the defense has suddenly shifted tactics and is attempting to withdraw its own motion is a matter of speculation among legal experts following the situation, as is the prosecution's stubborn insistence that the motion stand and be decided by the court. Madalynne will probably be in court when arguments on this point come up. She was reported this morning as rapidly recovering following her collapse of Friday, when she was taken before the grand jury. Following decision on the freedom of the pale, beautiful young woman defendant, the court-room is expected to take on a serio-comic aspect when the bustling, smiling, energetic little figure of Arthur C. Burch appears before the bar for decision as to his sanity. Insanity Plea Continued Burch's attorneys claim that his mind is unbalanced, and demand that he be given a trial to determine his sanity before he is tried on the first degree indictment standing against him. Meanwhile, Arthur, who differs with his counsel as to the situation inside his cranium, is doing everything possible to block their move. Would Expose Attorneys He threatens to "expose" in open court the tactics of his own counsel and their alienists in attempting to prove him insane, alleging they have tried to cajol and bluff him into admitting insanity or feigning it. "I'm sane," he asserted with emphasis. "I think it's my attorneys who are crazy." "I'm not afraid to stand trial as a sane, ordinary man for this charge of murder. I am confident of acquittal. But I certainly don't want to take a chance on being sent to an asylum when I'm neither insane nor a murderer." THIEVES GET MONEY AT LOCAL MUSIC STORE YESTERDAY The Anaheim Music and Novelty Company store was broken into Sunday morning between the house of 10 and 12 while H. J. Efker, who usually straightens stock Sunday mornings, attended the conflagration services at the St. Boniface church. When Mr. Efker came to the store after the morning service he entered through the rear. He noticed that the panel of the back door had been removed, making a means for an entrance by the robbers. After looking over the stock and the cash register, he found that the robbers had taken about $8 nickels and dimes, leaving the pennies. The safe had not been touched. Mr. Efker believes that the robbers were probably boys. Asks Judgment For Damage To Her Car Damages to the amount of $781.20 are asked in a suit filed today by Mrs. Sue Black of Long Beach against George Monberg, who lives near Tustin. The suit is the outcome of an automobile accident in which a car driven by a brother of Monberg is alleged to have struck a Ford sedan in which Mrs. Black was riding and practically demolished the latter car. The accident is said to have occurred at the corner of D street, Tustin, and the San Diego boulevard; which passes through that town. The damages to the car are set at $281.20 and $500 more is asked by the plaintiff for the inconvenience suffered from the loss of the use of her car during the period necessary to repair it. Holland's Delegation Reaches Washington WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Ranks of foreign delegates assembling for the conferences which open Saturday were swelled today by the arrival of the Holland delegation and staff. They were met by Secretary Hughes and Admiral Koontz, chief of naval operations. The delegation is headed by Jonkheer H. A., Van Karebeek, minister of foreign affairs. General Vaccari, Italian chief of staff, and Admiral Acton, head of the Italian navy general staff, both technical experts who will aid the Italian delegates, arrived last night. Goldfish and Hooch Bring Fine and Tears PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7.—"Gold fish and moonshine are some combination." Joseph Wise told Magistrate Oswald Saturday while awaiting his turn at the bar of the court for throwing a bowl filled with iridescent wrigglers from the third floor of his home at 2918 Gerard avenue and nearly striking Patrolman Leyman. While the deluge of water and fish had subsided, Leyman arrested Wise. During the long hours of the night Wise lamented the sudden death of the fish by continually murmuring "the poor fish." Magistrate Oswald gave Wise the choice of paying a fine of $2.50 or serving five days in the "bowl." The fine was paid and the prisoner left, sadder but still wise. Wilson Denied Extra Story On His Garage WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Woodrow Wilson, recently of 1600 Pennsylvania avenue, but now of 2340 S street, N.W., filed with the district government a request for permission to build a second story on his garage. "Can't be done," ruled a minor official of the district government. "The law prohibits two-story garages in purely residential districts. You live in one. Next case." Mr. Wilson, unless an exemption be made, must get along with a little old one-story garage like all the neighbors. Thus far the ex-president has made no move to obtain special privileges under the building law. Two Boys To For Murder Charles Handy held for the murder May Ricketts of October 1, at Anaheim raigned before Judge and their preliminary for December 1.

ANAHEIM DAILY HERALD ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1921. We Thank You! This edition of the Anaheim Daily Herald marks several milestones along the highway of progress; indicating that the Herald, at least, is keeping step with the other business institutions of this energetic, enterprising city in its onward march to a bigger, broader and better destiny. FIRST—The Herald was the first newspaper to reach a regular net paid circulation in excess of 3,000 in Anaheim and Northern Orange County. Our circulation today is exactly 3,036. It leads its nearest competitor by several hundreds. It covers Anaheim's trading zone—Northern Orange County—like the sunshine! And, for this we have to thank just the plain, appreciative people of the whole community. SECOND—This edition contains two double page advertisements, the first time in the history of Anaheim newspapers, that this has occurred—running two "double trucks" in the same edition. THIRD—This edition contains a section—four pages of advertising—carried by a single advertiser. This is the first time this feat has ever been accomplished in the local newspaper field. To make a long story short, the Anaheim Daily Herald is first in everything—first in news, first in features, first in circulation and first in advertising! Again, we thank YOU, and YOU and YOU! HERALD ADVERTISING RATES LOWEST Only rate less than 1 cent per hundred.

There was little chance that trial would actually open today, he ever. Attorneys had agreed to continue until next Monday. Their agreement still needed formal sanction from court which was expected to constitute the only proceedings today. Attorney Charles Brennan of buckle's defense counsel, was back from his trip to eastern cities when he took depositions largely covering the past life of Virginia Rappe, dead girl. "We have evidence now to show that Miss Rappe's health was sued that her death undoubtedly resulted from causes beyond Arbuckle's control," Brennan declared. Kills Wife With Knife Then Jumps To Death NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—William Howden, variously described as ex-contractor and baker out of employment, stabbed his wife Ada death with a carving knife yesterday. When policemen approached to rest him, he leaped five stories from a front window. He was instantly killed. Mrs. Howden died a few minutes after the assault from a batter skull and slashed jugular vein. NEARLY FIVE MILLION ON BOOKS TO BE AUDITED NOW More than four and a half million dollars in disbursements will have to be audited and examined by the grand jury, which started actual work today, according to the figures of W. C. Jerome, county auditor. This will only be half of the work of the grand jury in this phase of their work, however, Jerome states, for the total receipts for the year year ending November 1 represent more than $4,250,000 and all of this will have to be verified. That the business done in Orange county places it sixth in the state and that it is surpassed only by Los Angeles, San Francisco, Alameda, Fresno and Sacramento in the actual business valuation were other startling figures given by Jerome to show the scope of the task facing the grand jury. Sacramento county leads Orange by a bare $5,000,000 in total valuation, according to Jerome's figures, and he predicts that in another year this county will pass Sacramento and crowd Fresno closely for fourth place in the state. Jerome states that he based his predictions on the present rate of growth of business and the rapid increase in the population of the county in the past few years.

Wright to Los Angeles considerable interest has been expressed by the former officers of the world war in the reserve corps.

Judge Howard assured him that thirty days in jail would afford him the protection he needed. Sites began his sentence this morning. Father Asks Probation For Bad Check Writer Leniency for his son, F. W. Johnson brought here from San Bernardino several weeks ago to answer to a charge of passing bad checks, was asked in a letter today to Probation Officer R. R. Miller from T. J. Johnson, who writes from Trenton, Ontario, Canada. Johnson, who is said to be a Canadian war veteran, has a wife and two children living in San Bernardino. Probation is asked by the father for his son on the grounds that he is weak minded, due to an injury received at birth and which is thought to have caused a pressure on the brain. The father asks that Johnson and his family be returned to Trenton where he will be given work and his family cared for. That there was no need of the action of Johnson in passing the fictitious check was also mentioned by the father who stated that he was amply able to care for his son and family and could give him work if needed it.
