VARDAMAN CLAIMS HUNTLEY REQUESTED
 HIM ID AID BLACK
Prosecution Claims to Have Established Identity of Part of Bonds Sold in Memphis
 as HoIdup's Loot
By Associated Press

Memphis. April 29.-After two days of effort, the prosecution today claimed to. have established the identity of part of the Liberty bonds sold here as those which were taken from Austin Young. bond salesman. in holdup in Brooklyn, N. T.. last November. A. K. Tigrett bond broker, testified today in the trial of w L. Huntiey, Jr. and H. Diggs Nolen, charged with receiv- ing stolen property in connection with the alleged sale of the bonds in Mem phis, that a pax of the bonds had been listed in his office when offered for sale.
 According to Tigretts testimony. the .hlaSsas"werg oRfered him by c. Samuel Black, local stock salesman, who was Introduced by James M. Vardaman, and was vouched for, he said by Huntley.
 James M. Vardaman, banker, under Indictment in the case, testified in turn that he had taken Black to Tigrett's office at the request of HuntIey. any that this was his only connection with the case. On his introduction as a witness, the state announced that it would ask the quashing of the indict- ment against Vardaman who told the court that he had not asked this ac- tion on the part of the prosecution.
 Efforts to prove the identity of the bonds through Miss Martinez Smith, receiving clerk for Childs & Co.,, Chi cago brokers, failed, as Miss Smith testified that she did not personally list the bonds which were shipped to Chicago after purchase here by the Union and Planters bank.
 Maurice Joseph jeweler, was re- called to the stand and asked whether he had talked with Huntley on the day Following the sale of the bonds to the Union and Planters bank. He testified that he had met Huntley and had told hlm You have got me into a h. of 2 fix" to which he said Huntley re-4 piled, "No. there will be nothing to it. except that we will have to tell the same story"
 Michael Willem, with H. & B. Beer brokers of New Orleans, testified that his firm had handled bonds for Hunt ley and read list of those bought from him. The defense fought the in atroduction of this testimony on the grounds that the transaction was for the National City bank, through Hunt ley as vice president The testimony was finally admitted
 At the close of the days session, at- torneys for Nolen and Huntley offered to allow other indictments against the two to be tried at the same time as the joint indictments now being tried This offer was refused by the court
