NEW YORK. June 1. (JP)—Earl!
Carroll, Broadway Theatrical producer j
was convicted of perjury by the Fed-1
eral jury, for his testimony before the
grand jury as the sequel to the “Girl
In the Bathtub” party given by Car
roll to Countess Cathcart and a galaxy
of notables last February. He may
be sentenced to ten years in prison
and fined $20,000.
The verdict said that Carroll lied
when he denied he put Joyce Hawley,
a showgirl, in a bathtub nude as she
testified. It found him not guilty on
the counts charging him with perjury
* in denying that champagne was in the
tub or that booze was served. As
Prosecutor Buckner brought the case
originally to find the source of Car
roll’s liquor supply, Carroll is confi
dent that the conviction may be
thrown out on appeal. The Hawley
girl had testified that the guests drank
champagne from the tub as she bath
ed in it.
NEW YORK, June 2. (£>)—Joyce '
Hawley, showgirl, testifying at the j
Earl Carroll wine bath trial, said she
got drunk from drinks taken from
the bathtub and then disrobed, step
ping into the tub nude and splashing
about. Several men then dipped their
glasses in the tub and quaffed heart
ily, she said. She said she had been
unable to collect for her performance.
Irvin S. Cobb, humorous writer, tes
1 tified that he drank only near beer ^
and mineral water and saw nothing
he could recognize as booze and said
the affair was porper according to
Broadway standards. He said he nev
er drinks liquor now unless he is sure
It will not be immediately fatal.
The party, of which the bath scene
was the climax, was held in the early
morning, before such notables as the
Countess of Cathcart, William Edring
ton, a Texas millionaire and others.
Before going on the stand court of
ficials declared that Joyce Hawley
would have more on at court than
when she attended the bathtub party.
In that case her wardrobe is alleg
ed to have been nothing but talcum
powder and very little of that.
The testimony ended with Augustus
f (Thomas, A1 Jolson and others testi
fying to Carroll’s veracity.
Mr. Bates, formerly employed by
McMullen’s, has entered the grocery

Engineer Designs Traffic Marker That Won't Wear 0§F
Elver since auto traffic increased
to the point where west-bound
drivers have started chasing east
bound drivers up over the curbs,
cities have been madly slinging the
whitewash brush endeavoring to
keep traffic separated by painting
center lines down the middle of im
portant thoroughfares.
“Stop” signs, “Slo” signs,
“School” signs and “Park” signs
also have been painted on the
these temporary markings and the
job becomes a perpetual one.
It remained for County Engineer
G L. Saywer of Toledo, O., to de
sign a traffic marker that, he
says, “won’t wear off or wear out.*’
In a shale brick pavement re
