Bartlett Bills
Introduced to
Ease Bonding
WASHINGTON, UP)—Delegate
Bartlett Monday introduced bills
to ease bonding restrictions on
municipal corporations, school
districts and public utility dis
tricts in Alaska.
Such districts are limited in is
suance of bonds for public works
to 10 percent of their assessed
valuation.
Bartlett’s proposal would ex
empt from that limitation any
bonds issued to finance projects
under the Alaska Public Works
Act.
Bartlett also introduced a com
panion bill to one introduced last
week by Sen. Magnuson (D-Wash)
to increase from 75 to 90 percent
the federal government’s partici
pation in development of Alaska
airports.
Tithe of $2,000,000
Given to Church by
Texas Oilman
DALLAS, (#>—A Texas oilman
turned over $2 million to his
church as a tithe Monday after
selling his petroleum company in
terests in a multi-million-dollar
deal.
Toddy Lee Wynne of Dallas,
president of the American Lib
erty Oil Co., signed final papers
transferring Amilco stock to
American Petrofina, Inc., of New
York.
The "gross transaction reported
ly involved an estimated $35,000,
000. Spokesmen said that Wynne
would get about $20,000,000 after
payment of outstanding debts.
Ten percent of the net, or about
$2,000,000, was given to the Texas
Presbyterian Foundation. It is the
largest gift it has ever received.
Money is one of the best things
out, and today most people are
out — and after it.

British Doctor
Acquitted of
Murder Charge
By JAMES F. KING
LONDON, (J?i—Dr. John Bodkin
Adams was acquitted yesterday
of a charge of murdering an 81
year-old widow to get a chest of
antique silver and a Rolls Royce
from her estate.
Atty. Gen. Sir Reginald Man
ningham-Buller immediately then
quashed a secret indictment ac
cusing Adams of killing a second
wealthy patient last summer.
Adams was allowed to walk out
of the courtroom on bail, but he
still has minor charges hanging
over him of violating the crema
tion act.
The jury of 10 men and 2 wom
en deliberated only 44 minutes in
acquitting the 58-year-old bache
lor society doctor. The verdict
ended a 17-day hearing in Lon
don’s famed Old Bailey, the long
est murder trial in British history.
Adams had been arrested after
I a prolonged Scotland Yard inves
| tigtaion into rumors that he had
profited from the deaths of an un
usual number of his wealthy aged
patients in the seaside resort of
Eastbourne.
The 260-pound physician stood
up to hear the jury’s verdict. His
face quivered and he gulped, but
otherwise he showed no emotion.
He had pleaded innocent to the
Crown’s charge that he had shot
massive doses of heroin and mor
phine into 81-year-old Mrs. Edith
Alice Morrell to turn her into a
drug addict and finally to end
her life in 1950.
A medical expert for the de
fense claimed the treatment was
not unusual in such cases—the
widow had suffered a stroke two
years before—and that the treat
ment was intended only to ease
the pain.
Stampede Lawyer
Is 84 Today
VANCOUVER, (CP)—George
Black, sourdough, lawyer, soldier,
politician, sportsman—a 11 th e
things that made him Yukon’s I
foremost citizen—is 84 today.
He and Mrs. Black left here j
yesterday by air for their home
in Whitehorse.
“We’ll be there in time to cele
brate my birthday. We’ll get the
town drunk,” said the oldtimer.
As a young lawyer from Wood
stock, N.B., Black fought his way
across the Chilkood pass to the
Klondike in the fall of ’97, four
months behind the woman who
was to be his wife.
The Blacks have been married
more than 50 years. “It’s been a
hell of a wonderful life, Matty,”
he said with a teasing twinkle
yesterday in an interview.
She, at 91 seven years his sen
ior, chided him for having lied
about his age when they met in
Dawson City. “I didn’t lie,” he
protested with his ready wit. “I
just didn’t tell you.
“Besides,” he said to a reporter,
“my wife is just like whiskey—
; she improves with age.”
Black’s view of Yukon’s future
| is simple: “She’ll last as long as
! the gold, silver, lead and copper
lasts, and she has the biggest
damned ore reserves in the coun
try. And as long as the fishing’s
good, I won’t worry.”
