WOMAN DEWS
MONEY WAS LOAN
Miss Elzina Howells Denies
Embezzlement and Larceny
Accusations.
Miss Elzina Howells, 48 years old,
charged with embezzlement and
larceny after trust, today testified in
her own defense before a jury or seven
women and five men in Criminal
Division 1, Ju ice Jesse C. Adkins
presiding, and denied that anything had
been said about investing in stock
speculation $5,700 which she received
from Miss Irene Biggs and Miss Lillian
Girard, nurses, residing at the Toronto
Apartments, between December 10, 1928,
and June 21, 1929.
She claimed that the money was bor
rowed from the nurses and that the
whole transaction was a civil one and
relied on a note which she had given
the nurses, which purported to become
due last February, many months later
than the time laid in the indictment.
Miss How’ells declared that she had
borrowed SSOO from the two women on
the first day of their acquaintance. She
admitted on cross-examination by coun
sel for the Government that she had
been convicted of larceny at Auburn,
N. Y., and sentenced to serve 14 months’
Imprisonment in 1916. She admitted
drawing the checks for the European
trip of the nurses and giving them a
letter of credit totaling $1,600 when she
had only $18.20 in her checking ac
count. She declared she had expecta
tions that the overdraft would be taken
care of, but was not explicit as to who
was to do this.
Justice Adkins will instruct the jury
on the completion of arguments of
counsel and is expected to leave to the
Jury to decide whether the evidence sus
tains the charge of embezzlement, set
out in eight counts of the indictment,
or the charge of larceny after trust as
alleged in the remaining eight counts.
Assistant United States Attorneys
William A. Gallagher and Charles B.
Murray are conducting the prosecution
while Attorney Paul J. Sedgwick of this
city and Donald W. Smith of the North
Carolina bar appear for the defendant.
WATSON THINKS SENATE
WILL O.K. HOOVER NAMES
Senator Watson, the majority leader,
•aid today after a call at the White
House that the Senate would stay in
session long enough after the London
treaty is disposed of to “confirm most
of the nominations” President Hoover
Is expected to submit.
No nominations are to be sent to
the Senate until a time for voting on
the treaty has been set.
Among the first nominations that
will be sent to the Senate, it was said
•t the White House, will be one for the
•levation of Justice William Hits of the
Supreme Court of the District of Co
lumbia to one of the newly created
places on the Court of Appeals for the
District, and the nomination of James
M. Proctor, local attorney, to succeed
Justice Hits on the lower court.
The President also plans to name
members of the newly created Power
Commission and of the Tariff Commis
sion, as well as a number of Federal
District Judges. Watson said some of
the controversial nominations would go
over until the December session.
Treaty supporters believe transmis
sion of the nominations at this time
would help opponents of the pact.
“It would absolutely destroy us,”
Watson said.

Historic Oil Derrick
Ends Years of Work
To Become Relic
Built Over Doheny’s First
Well, Machinery Moved
for 37 Years.
By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, July 17—A crude
little derrick, which Edward L. Doheny
built 37 years ago to start his career
in the oil Industry and a fortune esti
mated in excess of $100,000,000, ceased
its pumping yesterday.
With Charles O. Canfield, oil opera
tor of Texas and Mexico, associate In
this first enterprise, the oil magnate
visited the rickety wooden structure
and ordered its removal to his modern
plant in Torrance, a suburb, where it
will remain as a relic of California’s
first oil days.
Through the many years it has stood
near the corner of Court and Patton
streets, on the fringe of the central
business district of Los Angeles. The
well constantly has produced between
14 and 16 barrels a day.
"It is a long time since I used a pick
and shovel," Doheny reflected as he
THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. THURSDAY. JULY 17, 1930.
stood beside the old well. “Thirty
seven years ago Charles Canfield and I
looked at this spot and decided there
was oil underground.
“After we reached a depth of eight
feet we could no longer throw out dirt
by hand so we rigged up a tripod
derrick.”
When they reached 160 feet about
10 or 12 barrels of oil flowed into the
bottom of the shaft, Doheny said. “We
baled it out and sold it to a pipe fac
tory as a rust preventive," the oil
magnate related. “It was the first oil
taken out of the Los Angeles Basin.”
