He said he and his wife always questioned each other about where they had been and what they had done. He admitted that he was suspicious, "but in my heart I trusted her." He said Also that he did not personally resent his wife's former husband, Clark Branion. Detroit newspaperman, visiting his child, whom Wright adopted.

Wright declared he was resentful only because Bran-ion's visits seemed to upset Mrs. Wright. BRITAIN utes had elapsed before the first scores were made. The half ended with a tie score of 15 points each. Egger, of Wesson, broke the tie early in the second half to give his team an easy lead for the remainder of the game.

This half was the roughest seen on the local court this season. Egger, Wolf forward, led the game with 17 points. The girls line-up: Raymond (56) Smith (9) f. Lilley (30) Husbands (10) f. White Jacskon Steen g.

(A Gibraltar dispatch reported the British cruisers Southampton and Newcastle were enroute to Val encia to conduct an investigation into the sinking.) The cabinet met for more than two hours and was understood to have discussed action to be taken on the incident, including the question of a indemnity.

Roll suddenly asked: "Was your wife's face toward you?" No.M answered Wright. "Was Klrnmers face toward you?" -Yes," answered Wright. He began to weep. "Your wife was sitting on the bench, she?" Yes." "Did you say anything to them?" "Not that I recall." "Are" you sure nothing at all?" "Kn- wils too Roll picked up a copy of the statement Wright made to police at Glendale. Wright reportedly said he asked Kimmel and Mrs.

Wright: "What's all this?" As the prosecutor neared the witness stand with the statement Wright's face became extremely pallid. He called for the bailiff and askei him to rub his hands. Apparently on the verge of fainting. Wright was unable to rise, and Judge Ingall ordered a recess. The defendant was assisted into the court chambers.

Wright, 38-year-old airport executive who is fighting the accusation that he plotted to kill Mrs. Wright and Kimmel; was asked earlier if he made a statement he had a sterilization operation because he did not desire to have any more children. He almost shouted "No that's absolutely untrue I never made such a statement!" WTright said he did not recall that his wife asked him not to go out with other women because of the "health angle." He admitted he had told his wife that he had been out with other women, but he said that these statements were merely for the purpose of retaliating for the stories of affairs his wife told and then denied. For the most part today, Wright was calculating and deliberate in contrast to yesterday's tense attitude when he told in detail a sor HEADACHE jJSEUgALGIA Hinds Junior College Girls Defeat Copiah-Lincoln, Boys Defeated RAYMOND, Feb. 2 Coach Mat-tie Wallace saw her Hinds Junior College Eaglettes trample her alma mater, Copiah Lincoln, here last night 56 to 31.

The visiting boys, however, outclassed their co-eds and defeated the Raymond Eagles by a score of 32 to 22. After five, minutes of play in the first quarter Brown made the first point for Wesson. Raymond trailed throughout the period until the last minute when Wade Lilley went on a spree to place Raymond one point ahead, or 10 to 9. The second quarter found the ball in Raymond's territory most of the time to afford the Eaglettes opportunity to continue their scoring. With the excellent help of guards Jackson, Steen, and White, the Eaglettes were at no time bothered by a Wolverine rally, and the quarter ended with the Wesson maids trailing 17 to 27.

Wade Lilley, Eaglette forward, kept up a steady barrage on the basket the first of the third period to become high pointer of the game with 30 points. In the fourth quarter both teams clamped down tightly, and each team had difficulty in holding the ball. At this time Coach Mattie Wallace sent in the famous Raymond "Tinymites," Julia Lilley, Thella Owen, and Ervie D. Rake-straw. Wesson guards.

Bishop and Taylor, made a last feeble attempt to check the Eaglette scores. but were unsuccessful. Brown led the Wesson team with 15 points. The boys game started off more slowly than usual.

In addition, the courtmen are to take to New Orleans for a pair of games with Tulane, an undefeated basketball unit.

Baldwin's Athletics caught the Red and Blue short last Friday night, but a comeback against Southwestern in Memphis gave Ole Miss an even break for the weekend and assured them of a good showing against State and the Wave. The mittmen got the short end of a 5-2 score against Louisiana State last Monday night, but looked good in several scraps in so doing, and may have a chance to handle the 'Bama scrappers. Particularly impressive were Raymond Medlock, lightweight, and Ralph Burns, heavyweight. The loop games will count heavily for Ole Miss. At present the Rebels hold a 4-1 standing in the conference in games won and lost, and would like to bolster that average with clean sweeps of the two series ahead.

Coach George Bohler has a pair of sharpshooting forwards in Captain Bonnie Graham, leading conference marksman, and Jesse "Lefty" Ward, and can keep firing strength at par with George Clay, center, and Irving Keller, forward. Huskies guard the back court. Bruiser Kinard, Bill Williams and Kimble Bradley, footballers, all well over six feet and aggregate a total of 655? pounds in heft. Skinny Henry Favre sometimes stands in as a regular, and Parker Hall is used frequently as a center or forward. Robert Kincade, guard, a senior workman, Irving Henry and Jimmie Cofer, utility men, complete the roster.

Ernest McCracken, bantamweight, can carry a good scrap for Ole, Miss against the Tide, with Chris Scarano, game little junior welterweight, and Conference Champion Steve Wilkinson, senior welter, when his right hand gets in shape, will be able to take on all comers. Scarano held a mighty good Bengal entrant to a close decision Monday, actually getting the popular decision against his opponent. McCracken Is a letterman, and needs only conditioning to be a winning contender. Edgar Shaw, featherweight; E. B.

Burns, middleweight, and Eddie Eimhorne, light-heavyweight, complete the Reb roster for the Alabama match.

(Continued from Page One) house is anticipated. The procedure there likely will be a motion to concur in the senate amendments, which the house is not expected to do. This will send the biU Immediately to conference with little prospect that the conference committees will find much difficulty in agreeing on a compromise. Indications in both houses last night were that the amount of the bond issue will settle around with the house agreeing to other amendments made by the The' latter amendments include the raising by the senate of the limitation placed upon the amount of the bond issue that may be expended in the completion of the primary highway system and the addition of a condition to the private sale feature of the act with reference to the offer of a syndicate headed by John Nuveen company of Chicago. The house amended the original bill to limit the expenditure on the priority system to $14,000,000 and the senate boosted this figure to $16,000,000.

The senate rejected an amendment offered by Senator John Kyle of Sardls to eliminate the direct instruction to the bond commission to accept the Nuveen offer for of the notes, but adopted a substitute by Senator G. B. Herring of Canton which directs the commission to accept the Nuveen offer unless another bid, accompanied by a certified check for is received by the date the act is approved by the governor. Senator Herring, with Senators Shook, Young and Bamett, also sponsored the amendment which raised the total amount of the ncte authorization to $60,000,000. Senator Kyle's idea was to avoid the specific acceptance of the Nuveen offer by the legislature and to lay the responsibility for such acceptance squarely upon the shoulders of the bond commission, which is composed of the governor, the attorney general and the state treasurer.

It was learned authoritatively last night that the bill as passed by the senate is acceptable to the syndicate which has made the offer to nnrchase teh first series of the notes, amounting to $33,688,000, at interest rates of 3.25 and 3.50 per cent. This means that the refinancing of the state's entire highway paving program, which will make available a total of between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000 in "new money" for continuation of the program begun in 1936, will likely he completed within the next few days. Designation Is Next With the highway financing legislation virtually assured of completion today or tomorrow in a form believed to be acceptable to the Nuveen syndicate, interest naturally turned to the question of designating the new roads to be added to the paving program. Eight counties left of the original "priority system" Amite, Walthall, Smith, Quitman, Leake, Attala, Marion and Calhoun are expected to come in for prior consideration in the new designation of roads to be improved with the "new money" made available by the bill passed by the senate yesterday. The leadership in both houses Is committed to support designation legislation which will give each of these eight counties at least one improved highway and the house wrote that provision into the highway financing bill, only to have It taken out by the senate.

There was no opposition in the senate to providing for the eight "forgotten counties" In a separate designation bill a bill covering their case is already pending in the senate but the committee in charge of the bill on the floor insisted that designating legislation should not be engrafted upon the financing bill. The designation bill probably will get before one or both of the houses some time next week and it is calculated to result in a scramble among the counties to get as much of the "new money" as possible. Leaders confidently expect a more stubborn fight over the designation of routes in the new program than over the bill providing the money to build the roads. Efforts were made in the senate yesterday to amend the financing bill in several important particulars. One amendment would have limited the pledge of the gasoline tax revenues to two-thirds of the total tax of six cents, but the senate was warned that the amendment would amount to rejection of the Nuveen offer.

Another amendment would have made the bonds to be issued under the act callable at the option of the senate, but the same objection was raised by the committee that this amendment would kill the bill. Briefly stated the provisions of the bill as passed by the senate are as follows: Authorizes Issuance of $60,000,000 in bonds to be paid out of revenues derived from the gasoline tax. Entire Tax Pledged The entire gasoline tax of six cents Is pledged as security for the payment of the principal and interest of the bonds. The full faith and credit of the state is not pledged. The first series of notes will be $33,688,000.

Of this sum, $23,788,000 of the notes bear interest at 3-25 per cent, and $9,900,000 bear interest at 3.50 per cent.
