Former Attorney Held Without Bail on Murder Count
No.186
Police Consider Mystery of Double Shooting Still Unsolved Today
POWDER MARKS CLUE
Los Angeles, May 22—(UP)-With a former deputy district attorney held without bail on charges of double murder authorities today concentrated on discovery of just what took place in the room where Charles Crawford next palmed him, and Hunt Spencer, man he wore to death late Monday.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1911
The man held was David Harris Clark, holder of creditable records in public offices, and while police said all indications pointed to his guilt they admitted a possible connection to all the shots in Crawford's snaracious Hollywood office.
The marks of powder indicated that Crafford was not handed the gun, and the evidence caused by Clark's statement that he was "not guilty and had no statement" is too weak.
Clark Remains Calm
Los Angeles, May 22 (UP)—David H. Clark, former deputy district attorney, now a candidate for a municipal judgment, talked calmly with newspaper men today and promised to later sensations he described as one of a prominent politician and veteran newspaper man, both charged to Clark.
Although he was held without bail on the charge that he shot Charles Crawford and Herbert Spencer, co-editor of the liberal newspaper The Daily Star, Mr. Clark was gernal and at ease when reporters entered his cell in county jail.

Judge Porterfield Says People Spend Too Much Time in Cars
Kansas City, Mo.—(UOP)—Judge E. E Porterfield, of the Juvenile Court of this city, who has become one of the chief justices in the Court in the United States, declares that home conditions are responsible for a large number of cases of juvenile delinquency.
"The average case that comes into my courtroom," he said, "can be traced directly to the home. People have the idea that home is a place to eat, sleep and quarrel, nothing more. No worries, we can spend their leisure on the street.
"People spend too little time at home and too many of their hours in automobiles."
Judge Porterfield has been on the bench for more than 20 years. In that same season, he was involved in 20,000 cases. His methods of treating with young offenders combine kindness with authority.
The judge declares that a very large proportion of the young offenders that have laced him during the past year have been treated with more positive changes have developed into useful citizens.
