Matamoros Begins Dies y Seis Celebration Tonight
j JOHN AND INA HAVE LITTLE TIFF }
When ordinary mortals on a honeymoon have a disagreement over
what one should do for the evening, the world never pays any atten
tion. But when John Gilbert and Ina Claire, of movie fame, can t
decide where to go for the evening at a fashionable French resort, the
cables burn up with the news. Of course, the cables add that when
John wouldn't go with Ina. and she hadn't returned at a late hour,
he up and packed his duds and left the hotel. Then, when Ina got
back. she. too. up and packed and left the hotel, and the whither
and the whether makes many a fan heart palpitate. Like all John
Gilbert pictures, it is certain the heroine will be found in his arms.
Is it a sigh we hear?

ed nor responsible for the death!
which the state charges caused the
death of Rokumoto. The presence
of a third automobile at the scene
of the crash, unmentioned by state
witnesses, has been reiterated by
defense witnesses as the direct
cause of Mrs. Pantages' car being
on the wrong side of the street.
Phillip Esterly, chauffeur em
ployed Dy a film producer, carried
the defense case to its climax yes
terday by stating Rokumoto's car
turned directly into the path of the
machine driven by the wife of
Alexander Pantages. vaudeville ini
pressario. He also mentioned a
third automobile as having forced
Mrs. Pantages toward the left side
of the street, but said he could not j
identify it.
A desperate attempt on the part
Of Deputy District Attorney James
Cosello failed to break down Es-1
terly's story. Costello charged him
with having withheld information, j
Esterly's stoij of the third auto

ALIENISTS TO
TESTIFY MRS.
ROGERS CRAZY
Other Witnesses To Be
Given Expert Sup
port in Defense of
Girl Bank Robber
NEW BRAUNFELS, Tex., Sept.
14.—(/P»—Defense alienists were to
have their day in court today in
an effort to prove Mrs. Rebecca
Bradley Rogers. 24. suffered from
temporary insanity when she bran
dished a gun at two employees of
the Farmers National Bank of
Buda, forced them into a vault and
escaped with approximately $1,000
in the winter of 1926.
Experts on mental diseases were
expected to appear to give scien
tific weight to the statements of
several lay witnesses who already
have expressed the opinion that
Mrs. Rogers was •‘crazy.”
Otis Rogers, husband of the de
fendant and her chief counsel yes
terday testified from his own ex
perience in an effort to show that
his wife’s actions were inconsistent
and not the actions of a sane per
son.
Contracts Pneumonia
Much of Rogers* practice in
pleading has been gained in defense)
of his wife. He and Rebecca were
married secretly while they were
students at Texas University. When
she was arrested for the bank, rob
bery he rushed to her aid from
Amarillo where he was practicing
law, contracting pneumonia during
the long trip in an open car. Be
fore he had completely recovered,
he fell a victim to tuberculosis, and !
Mrs. Rogers' trial was postponed |
while she nursed him back to
health at San Angelo. Rogers* first
big case was his wife’s trial for
arson at Georgetown. The state
alleged Mrs. Rogers had burned a
residence at Round Rock, hoping
to rob the bank there during excite
ment incident to the fire. The Jury!
disagreed in that case, and it has'
never been brought to a second
trial.
Rogers has defended his wife
twice on the robbery with firearms
charge growing out of the Buda
robbery, meeting a 14-year sen-1
tcnce the first time, which he suc
ceeded in having reversed. The
second attempt to try the case fail
ed when it was impossible to ob
tain a jury at LaGrange and the
trial was transferred to New
Braunfels. This trial is the fourth
one in which Rogers has appeared
in his wife’s defense.
State Calls Wooten
When defense alienists have had
their say the state expected to pro
duce a number of experts in rebut
tal. including Dr. Joe S. Wooten of
Austin who testified twice against
Rebecca. The defense sent Mrs.
Rogers to Wooten for an examina
tion. and the doctor twice testified
he found her sane. The state got
wind of this verdict, and when the
defense failed to call Wooten as a
witness he w^as called as a state
witness.
