DECIDES Courtmartial Convicts Soldier But 'Girl Friend' Will Be Freed by Prosecutor Pretty Cella Trambitas, 22 years old, who was In the San Bernardino county Jail for three weeks before her prlze-flfjhter husband posted $500 bond for her release a month ago, will be freed of charges Implicating; her In two bandit outrages in San Bernardino and Colton when she appears for trial at 10 a. m.

tomorrow In superior court at the courthouse, It was announced yesterday by District Attorney Stanley Mussell. Geoge K. Wilde, her soldier "boy friend" whose hand she held during their preliminary hearing In justice court here, has been courtmar-tlaled at March Field and must nerve two terms of 10 years each In Federal prison, according to a report Sheriff Ernest T. Shay received yesterday. Under civil law, If Wilde had been convicted of first-degree robbery in the superior court his penalty would have been only five years as the minimum penitentiary term.

Woman Denies Robbery Guilt Both the attractive auburn-haired girl and the soldier were held to answer for trial In superior court on charges of robbing the Pueblo barbecue cafe at Arrowhead and Highland avenues in San Bernardino, and a Japanese market in Colton. Wilde was identified by employes In both places, but the Tram-bitas girl was not recognized by any of the witnesses as being the person who sat In the automobile while the robberies were going on. When arrested as she and the soldier were about to enter the expensive automobile two hours after the San Bernardino robbery, the girl was quoted as having stated she and Wilde were together all evening. She denied, however, knowing anything about either robbery. Charge Will Be Dropped Monday Last January Cecila became the bride of "Tiger Johnny" Trambitas In Los Angeles county, after which the pugilist went to New York and Atlantic City alone to help train Max Sehmellng for his world heavyweight championship bout with Toung Strlbllng.

Judge B. F. Warmer on Aug. 8, at the request of Attorney P. E.

Blngman of San Bernardino, ordered the girl's previously set ball of J5.000 reduced to $1,000, and then to $500, which the pugilist posted for his wife's release. Trambitas said that after this trouble had been settled, he would take her to Portland where he has enough boxing matches and athletlo training contract to keep him busy all winter. Dismissal of the charges against the young wife will be made because of lack of evidence at 10 a. m. tomorrow la superior court.

The motion for dismissal will be offered bjr Chief Trial Deputy Frank T. Bates.

Fewer Chicago children were killed by automobiles In 1930 than any year since 1919. i Former Mayor, Ex-Chamber President, Topic For Lindsley's First Drawing merit system which he advocated, and since that time the civil service has gained strength and is now firmly established as part of the municipal government of San Bernardino.

For all of which Grant Holcomb is to be thanked. He also instituted the position of budget officer, a post that was badly needed here. San Bernardino appreciated the fact that the mayor who had advocated the civil service was a native son, son of a native son, which makes it doubly a matter of appreciation as well as one of sentiment. (This is the first of a series of crayon portraits of business and professional men of the San Bernardino valley which will be published in The Sun during tho next few months. The artist, Jack Lindsleyv known as the cowboy cartoonist, is sketching prominent men who are identified with community building and with each will be printed a short life history of the man.

Watch for the pictures in this series Editor's note.) When the people of San Bernardino elected Grant Holcomb mayor six years ago they also adopted the I Reconstruction Will Be Rushed As Operators to Prepare For Orange Season A $200,000 building" program in San Bernardino valley loomed yesterday with announcements that two of the Highland citrus packing houses destroyed by fire last Sunday would be rebuilt and that owners of a third, also demolished by fire, were seriously considering erecting a new structure. J. B. Jeffers, manager of tie Highland Orange association's pack ing house which was destroyea oy last week's $150,000 fire, said his concern expects to have a new structure ready for use by November, when the early fruit season will begin. Directors of the association, the manager said, are scheduled to meet Monday, to determine the type of structure to be built to replace the old packing house.

Cleghorn Firm Will Rebuild John Cleghorn, a member of the Cleghorn Lenhart Packing whose building was destroyed in the same fire which razed the H. O. packing house, said his firm will rebuild but that arrangements are pending. He said, however, he expected the new structure would be finished in time for the early fruit packing season. Members of the firm will meet Monday or Tuesday to consider plans he said.

E. M. Whittemore, a director of the Highland Citrus association, whose building was destroyed twice by fire within the last year, said his concern was awaiting a report from Insurance adjusters and that It would not be definitely decided for several weeks whether the packing house would be reconstructed. He said, however, that such plans were being seriously considered. The Highland Citrus association's packing house was destroyed last July for the second time within a year.

Scores of Men Will Get Work The construction projects will provide work for scores of men and announcement that it will be carried out was greeted with enthusiasm by officials of the San Bernardino prosperity campaign, the objective of which is to provide work for unemployed by such building and Improvement campaigns. The fire which destroyed the H. O. A. and Cleghorn Lenhart packing plants last Sunday was supposed to have been started by the same pyromaniac who started fires which razed packing houses in other clttus sections of California.

State and county officials have been Investigating the cause of the fire for a week but no trace of the firebug has been found. Wife Gets Divorce, Charges Brutality Lula E. Eaves yesterday was granted an uncontested interlocutory decree of divorce from Stephen H. Eaves when she testified in superior court at the San Bernardino courthouse that her husband was domineering and always flndtng fault with her. She declared that he struck her on several occasions, and knocked her down onto the floor.

They were married Aug. 1921, and parted July 12 of this year. The wife was granted title to their home at S50 East Base Line, San Bernardino. She was represented by Attorney Lester G. King.
