MAIL DELIVERY WILL
 NOT BE CURTAILED

Washington January 1l.-(Spe- cial. There will be no curtailment of village mail delivery. despite the recommendation of Postmaster Gen eral Hays that the service be aban- doned. Southern senators and repre- = sentatives have won their fight, it ia indicated The prospects are so good that there is belief that the service will not only be continued. but extended.
 In other words. Congress plans to bowl over not only the Postmaster General but General Dawes, director of the budget.
 Hays, in hls annual report. rec commended that no appropriation be made for village delivery of mails. General Dawes recommended that Sl 300 900 be allowed, enough to con tinue the service presently existing. The appropriations committee of the House included the Dawes recom- mendation in the postoffice bill. This was the defeat of Hays. Represen- tative Byrans of South Carolina, in the committee, offered a resolution requiring the chairman of the com mittee, when on the floor of ;he House, to offer an amendment in ereasing the appropriation to st,000,- 900. The Byrans resolution pre- vailed.

 Asked to Get shoes
 When he came off post, the witness testified, Lancaster told him his shoes were muddy and asked witness to get him others from the supply room. which he did This was about 7:30, the witness said. Later in the day, according to Hall, he asked Lancaster about the Baird killing and he re- piled that he was not to ask any questions because the people around there might think the soldiers had something to do with 1t and it would be wise to refrain from talking about it. On cross examination. the witness testified that while in Birmingham in Connie Austin's bedroom in the Elm pire hotel Judge Wilkinson came there and talked to him and Guy Cannon and others. The last thing he said, on that occasion was, as he pulled back the curtains and showed witness the county jail, that he knew what witness knew and if he didn't come across and tell it he would put him in jail and that all of Company M would be indicted before morning.
 Judge Wilkinson never told or sug- gested to him to tell an untruth, he said.
 At the conclusion of the testimony of Hall at noon the state rested

 not heard of Baird's killing. Lam casters shoes were wet he said, and he sent someone to the suply room to get a dry pair for him. Witness was present when the law enforce ment officers came, he said, and heard about the Baird lynching.
 Later, in the supply room, he tes- titled several soldiers, including Lancaster, were present, when Rich ardson read aloud an account of the lynching in a newspaper. When that part of the account was read of the mob's telling prisoners in the Jail if they raised an alarm 1t would be the last they would raise.
 Objections Sustained
 Questions by A. Fl. Carmichael, de- fense attorney, tending to elicit from the witness testimony regarding al legged dynamlting, killings and dis orders by striking miners were ob- jected to by the state. w. c. Davis, attorney for the prosecution, stated if the defense were to be allowed to open up this line of testimony the state wanted to show that the opera tors had hired gunmen and others to cause and keep up disorder. Judge Gamble sustained objections to this line of testimony on the ground that it was not material to the case.
 Kitchen admitted on cross exami- l. nation that he did not know whether Lancaster motioned to himself in con- nection with the lynching while the newspaper account was being read or to something else. He also admit ted that 1t was not unusual for shoes and equipment of men to be muddy and that it had been raining the night before and was muddy everywhere. The witness testified that while in Birmingham after removal from Townley and in Hamilton at the time of Lancaster's first trial, he and Robert Hall. Guy Cannon and Clyde Springer were In charge of Connie Austin and his law enforcement offi- cers and considered themselves un- der arrest.
 Claims Jail Threatened
 He testified that Judge Wilkinson told him that he had to tell some thing and that he would put him in jail if he didn't make statement. While in Hamilton at the first trial, he testified, he was in charge of the state officers and had to do what they said. On redirect examination the witness testified that Judge Will kinson told him he didn't want any thing but the truth and never asked him to tell anything that was not true.
 Robert Hall. member of the Town ley detachment of Company M. tes- tified to going on guard duty the morning of the lynchins. Before go- ing on post he went to Lancaster's 8 room to put on his clothes. Lancas- ter was not in the room but came in about the time witness was dressed, he said.
