of each witness that took the stand

Witnesses had been on the stand

scene of the tragedy and they de-
scribed the wrecked shack and the
mangled bodies. Members of the firm

housekeeper. related a fight between
Thompson and Bolton and the sworn
vengeance OF the former. Witnesses
were called who had seen Thompson's
footprints leading to the Bolton farm.
Detectives had told OF statements that
Thompson had. made since his arrest
that were used against him. and last
ly Hester Thompson. the wife Of the
accused. had taken the stand voluntarily
and told enough from her own knowi-
edge Of the affairs OF the night of No

Chain Of Evidence.
BY this testimony. Mr.. Dawson pointed
out that there was the motive for the
crime. threats that the crime would be
committed and the actual evidence that
the accused had obtained the dynamite
and left for the Bolton farm with the
planned intention Of committing the
murder. To support this Mr.. Dawson
mentioned all the other circumstantiai
evidence.

lied almost entirely on appealing to the
sympathy Of the jury and imploring its

WHITE HOUSE EMPLOYEES
ANXIOUS OVER FUTURE
Old Timers Fear They May Be In.
cluded in "Clean Sweep" An
nounced as Possible,

Employees about the White House
and executive offices. many Of whom
have held Office for twenty and thirty
years undisturbed by change of ad-
ministration. have begun to be appre-
hensive over whether they will be in
cluded in the clean sweep of Office
holders appointed under the Wilson
administration which 1T has been in
dicated Mr.. Harding would make.
1t is pointed out. in this connection,
that not a single employe OF the Taft
administration connected with the
White House was discharged by Sec
rotary Tumulty when he entered the
executive office as secretary to Presi-
dent Wilson, the secretary at that time
declaring he would have regard only for
merit and not for political affiliation.
Since there had been preronderance
Of republican presidents during the
years Immediately preceding the en-
trance Of President Wilson into the
White House, 1t was found that the
majority of the attaches Of the White
House were republicans. A few were
appointes OF former President Cleve-
land.
Among those whose service extends
over from five to eight administra-
lions are: Rudolph Forster. executive
secretary; Nelson p. Webster. disburs-
ing officer; Irving II. Hoover, chief
usher: Patrick +. McKenna, door
keeper.

FRENCH IN DENIAL.
Have Not Yet Notified q. S. Of In
tended Buhr Invasion.

The French embassy in a state
ment last night denied reports pub
lished Friday to the effect that in
behalf Of it's government it had in
formally notified the United States
of contemplated invasion of the
Ruhr valley. The reports stated that
the action was in prospect. because of
the alleged failure of the German
government to effect a disarmament
in that district The statement to-
night said:
Several papers state that through
it's embassy in Washington France
has informally notified the United
States Of the contemplated invasion
of the Rurh valley. No such notifica-
ton has taken place"
The report of the informal notice
to which denial has been made. was
based upon the action Of the French
embassy in giving to the State De-
partment without comment copy of
a note sent recently by France to the
German government. directing atten-
ton to the latter's alleged failure
| to effect disarmament and to fulfill
other obligations in the Ruhr valley.
Possible contemplated action by the
[ French government in support of the
note has been widely discussed, not
! only here, but. it is understood. in
many other capitals, as we'll, especial
ly in reference to a possible occupa-
| ton Of the district.

In these conditions everything leads
to the belief that the British govern
