Trial of Mrs. Marion Loynes
Otterson at Concord, N.
H., Makes Progress

Concord, n. H., April 30.-Dr. George
B. Magrath, pathologist, of Boston re-
turned to the witness stand in superior
court to-day, upon the re-opening Of
the trial of Mrs Marion Loynes OF
terson for the murder of her brother
in-law, Maurice Otterson
DIR. Magrath told of the autopsy
performed by him upon the body of
Maurice Otterson on November 30,
and said the discoloration that had
been noted over one eye was due TO
the fatal bullet, which had lodged
there. The marks on the murdered
mans neck. he said, resulted from
the application of pressure proba-
bly, by a human hand that had re-
peatedly grasped the neck. There were
scratches that could have been made
by thumb and finger nails. On cross
examination the witness expressed the
opinion that the scratches were made
before death.
Sheriff George A. Wooster of Mer
rimack county told of his summons to
the Otterson home in Hooksett after
the murder and said Marion Otterson
in his presence picked up from the
was the lining of hat belonging TO
Mrs. John |, 0tterson, mother Of the
slain Maurice. Marion Otterson was
very much disturbed" when he
reached the house. The right sleeve
of her dress was torn. She could,
| however. give no description of the
bandits she said had attacked her and
killed Maurice.
Marion said one of the intruders
threw a sweater over her head and she
saw nothing.
The sheriff saw in tine living room,
where Maurice was killed, in plain
sight, nm envelope containing S4.5S
| in silver money. He examined the
sweater Marion said had been thrown
| over her head and it was damp to the
touch. He saw drops OF water on the
floor where the sweater had lain Ma
rion called the sheriff's attention to a
ransacked bureau drawer in the sit
| husband and attributed the condition
| of the drawer to the bandits.
Sheriff Wooster told of taking pos
session OF the revolver found i'll Maui
rice Ottersons room and of his exam
| ination of ii. The weapon did not
smell of powder Upon the arrival at
the house of Howard 0tterson, hns-
band of Marion, he told the officers OF
a second revolver in his own room. This
weapon was also secured and was found
| to have FIVE loaded shells in the car
fridge chamber and one that had been
| fired.
The witness said the gun was now in
the same condition a. on Nov. G. In his
testimony this week, Howard 0tteFson
expressed the opinion that the revolver
| had been cleaned since the state took
possession OF it, Sheriff Wooster said
| il was Howard Otterson himself who,
by tests made at the Office of County
| Solicitor Rainie on Nov. 10, determined
that the revolver had been cleaned be-
| fore that date.

BUFFALO X. X. YARDS
ARE AGAIN TIED UP
Because of walkout Of Freight Switch
men and Observation-Disclosures
on Freight Arc to Be Fixed.

Buffalo. n. Y, April 30. To-day for
the second time within two weeks ey-
cry railroad yard in the city was tied
up by a wsIkout of freight switchmen
and conductors who are members OF
the recently organized yardmen's as
sociation.
Dissatisfaction with the delay in
taking action on their demands for
increased pay was the reason given
by President Edward C. HOlohan OF
the yardmen's association local for
the strike. but ii was also said by
the strikers that the refusal of the
railroads to reinstate yardmasters who
would not do switching duty during
the first strike and were discharged
had much to do with the present walk
out
The railroads were preparing to-day
to place embargoes on freight in and
out Of the city. Passenger traffic,
it was claimed, would not be af-
fected BY the strike.

BOLSHEVIKI MAKING
STAND FOR BUG RIVER
And are Fighting Stubbornly Against
the Attack of Polish and
Ukraine Troops.

Warsaw. April % fBy the Associ-
ated Press Polish and Ukraine troops
driving toward Kieve, have occupied
the town of Malin, on the railroad,
about 80 miles northwest of Kiev. The
advance is continuing toward the Dnie-
per river. except on the southern sec
tor of the front, where the Russian
bolshevik forces are making stand
along the right bank of the Bug river
and are fighting stubbornly.
The bolsheviki are rushing the 5th
and sth divisions from the Caucasus
region to reinforce the 18th soviet
army, which has its headquarters at
Kiev. In an action which resulted in
the occupation of the village of Mosea-
tin. southwest of Zhitomir, Polish cav
airy captured 1000 prisoners, 10 can
non. one tank and the colors Of the
5sth bolshevik division. Airplanes, ar
mored trains and automobiles are be-
ing used by the Poles and crack cav
airy divisions have been brought into
action. Posen troops, which fought
during the great war in the German
army, are engaged in the advance.
A wireless communication regarding
the Polish offensive has been sent TO
Polish newspapers by the press bureau
Of the soviet foreign office. It asserts
the bolsheviki are not Net defeated and
have not changed then peace inten-
tions.
I'm view of the fact that Poles and
the Russian soviet government have
been unable 70 agree regarding the pro-
posed meeting of the peace conference
at Borisov,r the note says. ''the soviet
government is willing to meet Polish
delegates at Grodno or Bialystok, near
Warsaw. if the Poles will agree upon
a date"

SHORTAGE OF GOODS
AND SPECULATION
Given as the Prime Cause of Present
High Prices in the United
States.

New York, April 30. Bankers, edn-
Gators and economists of the United
States and Europe discussed the facts
and causes of imitation and high prices
and their remedies, at the semi-an'
nual meeting of the Academy of Politi-
cal Science, which opened here to-day
DIR. b. NJ. Anderson, jr.. of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce in New York
speaking at the forenoon session, de-
clared that the shortage of goods and
the attendant speculation is the prime
cause OF present high prices in this
country.
when our enormous export balance
disappears and when our domestic mar
kets are called upon to absorb three OF
four hundred million dollars worth oi
goods per month, which they have not
been absorbing, we shall see lower
prices he declared.
The speaker said that increased pro.
ducton had been expected when the
five million men withdrew from IN
dustry for the army and navy, re.
turned, but that it had not come.
I'm 1919 we produced less by at least
10 per cent in physical units than IN
1917" he declared Coupled with this
decreased production. due TO the pro
longed strain on our industrial sys'
tenn, came great increase in our eX-
port balance of trade and great in
crease in domestic consumption, as ON
people relaxed from wartime economy
and swung to the other extreme. Tho
net result is greater shortages OF goods
than at the end of the war"
DR.. Anderson declared bank eXpan-
sion has been more a passive result
than an active cause OF the rising
prices"
Edwin H. Kemmerer, professor OF
economies and finance at Princeton uni
versity, reviewed the two groups OF
causes for imitation the country has ex-
perienced, classifying them as mon
war causes and war causes"
Two mistaken policies in American
war financing are responsible for infla
tion, according TO DIR. Jacob II. Hol
lander, professor of political economy
Johns Hopkins university.
''The first" he said. consisted in is
suing bonds at artfcially low inter
est rates WIN inc diu VI tHfdp pbt

ga asier to obtain additional credit from

THE second. and more important
way in which the treasury contribu

over and above its unwholesom'
effects upon the money market and
upon the nations finances, certificate
borrowing aggravated the problem ot

The students of the university occu-

cries of Long live the Hapsburgs" and
the old national anthem was sung.
Police forces were stood off for time
and were forced to draw their swords
to disperse the students.
The movement seems 10 be jointly
anti-Jewish and political, the latter
phase being a protest against the gov
