President's Message Viewed as Dull and Broad in Scope
Washington dispatch notes the sixty-ninth Congress opening with drab ceremony and a sparsely packed gallery. The President reading the 6000 word speech was delegated to a clerk, leaving farmers and industrial states uninterested as the address offered no surprises or strong reforms. Critics say the message is negative and touches little that would boost central government activity or farm policy, with a caricature suggesting farmers misread his stance on tariffs.

Surprise Witness in Poca Slaying Raises Self-Defense Debate

Testimony covered who fired first amid conflicting accounts of shots by L Homer Jones Will Tones and Hobart Wines. The defense contended Jones was armed and acted as Wines fled the scene, with testimony from multiple witnesses about the sequence of shotgun and revolver shots and the elder Jones’s actions. The trial drew large crowds as jurors prepared for final arguments and judge Black’s instructions, while other cases and upcoming defenses loomed.
