Pauline Bennett Junkin, motion-picture actress and reputed wealthy divorcee, attempted to end her life early yesterday when she swallowed a quantity of medicinlal tablets, according to Hollywood police. Mrs. Junkin was found unconscious in the bathroom of her apartment at 755 North La Jolla street by Dean Watson of 1304 1-2 North Harper avenue.

At the General Hospital, where Mrs. Junkin is confined in the psychopathic ward for observation, it was said she probably will critically injured. the slain man and administrator of his estate, to close affairs at once. Although Solovich left a will disposing of approximately $6,000,000 the heirs are not expected to attempt to probate It, as only a small amount of property has been found in his name. Two thousand dollars of this is asserted to have been found in Clark's possession after Solovich was killed.

Solovich came to Los Angeles a few years ago and worked as a waiter in various hotels.

LIGHTING ACTION ORDERED Proceedings have been ordered started by the City Council for the ornamental lighting of Fairfax ave nue from willoughby avenue to Beverly Boulevard Opposing Lawyers Oral arguments on the appeal of William Edward Hickman, kidnaper and killer of Marian Parker, from the death sentence passed in Su perior Court here on February 14, in which the Kansas City bandit was condemned to die on April 27, will be heard before the State Supreme Court at Sacramento tomor row at 10 a.m.

Filing of the defense brief was completed Saturday and the answer of the State's attorneys will be forwarded by air mall today in order to reach the clerk of the court before the hour set for arguments. Jerome K. Walsh, Kansas City attorney, who was chief of Hickman's counsel at the trial before Superior Judge Trabucco, spent Saturday and yesterday nere in conference with Cantillon and Sicvers, local defense attorneys. ARGUMENT PLANNED The attorneys made a careful survey of the defense brief, and completed plans for the trend of the argument before the State high tribunal. Chief Counsel Walsh announced that he would lead the argument, with Cantillon following and Servers closing.

While some twenty-two assignments of error are ennumerated in the defense brief. Walsh said last night Just before his departure for San Francisco, from wnere ne win eo to Sacramento tonight, that the chief argument in a final effort to set aside the findings of the Jury and the death penalty, will.be against the constitutionality of the amended code of California, which provides for the plea of "not guilty by reason of irsanity." JUDGMENT ATTACKED The principal attack, Walsh said, will be made against the Judgment entered by Judge Trabucco after the verdict of guilty by the Jury. The defense will contend that the "whereas the said William Edward Hickman having duly pleaded guilty in this court of the crime of murder" wording in the Judgment is in error, and that the findings of the lower court should be reversed on constitu tlonal grounds. Another contention of the Hickman counsel will be based on the act of the last California Legislature in creating the conclusive presumption of sanity and admission of guilt from the mere utterance of pleas to an indictment. Webb will conduct the arguments of the prosecution before the State Supreme Court, and be assisted by Dep.

Maltman, in charge of the Los Angeles office, and Dep. Becker. Becker and Cantillon are already in Sacramento, while Walsh. Sievers and Meltman left last night. AUTO CRASHES FATAL TO THREE (Continued from First Page) men companions at Ninety-fourth street and Broadway early yesterday.
