Kiser Testimony Brief
Kiser's testimony was brief. He de
cIared that frequently Governor Nc
Cray had told the Meyer-IIiser Bank,
which handled much of the Governors
paper, that his assets were four or
five times his liabilities. He said the
bank handled notes signed with Nc
Cray's name and that collateral was
attached to the notes
Much Of this collateral, Kiser testi-
fed, was signed by McCray himself,
with the names Of various land and
cattle firms, cnd then Endorsed by Nc
Cray. He said the bank did not know
these notes were signed by McCray
until after the Governors financial
crash. He said the Governor admitted
to him he had signed the notes him
self. KIser said McCray had pre-
viously told the bank the notes were
cattle notes and represented the sale
of cattle or farm products.
Kiser said the Governor told the
bank he had a plan worked out where
by he could Hquidate his liabilities
within a year. Kiser said the Gov
ernor told him in July his total in
debtedness was $500 600.

Forward Movement Embraces

Covery Began.
ALL GROUPS PARTICIPATE
Dawson Features SpeCiaItieS
While Many New Highs
Are Established,
The WALL STREET JOURNAL

market opened active and higher to-
day with the oils predominating in
strength. Pan-Americans featured
with a double opening in the common
at gains ranging from IL to PA
points. while the "B" shares were up
fractionally Standard Oils appeared
in the limelight. with New Jersey and
California both up almost a point.
Tidewater Oil touched a new high on
the recovery at gain of three points
and Independents also We're stronger.
Steel common was up fractionally, as
were most of the leading rails.
First Hour
Buoyancy continued to character
lie the whole market in the first hour,
the forward movement embracing the
broadest area since the current rise
began. Dawson Chemical maintained
a rapid advance, reaching a further
new 1928 high above II. Spectacular
gains were scored by Congoleum and
other specialties, while demonstrations
og group strength took place in many
sections. Perhaps the strongest class
We're the oils, which made an extraOr-
binary response to limitations that
the highest trade circles felt better
about the outlook for the industry.
Second Hour
Pandemonium broke loose around
the Dawson Chemical stand following
announcement that Standard Of In
diana was identified as having signed
a. contract with DAWSON for use OF its
silica-gel process. Dawson had a pre-
cipitate drop OF 10 points and the
specialist was so delueed with orders
that he had to stop taking them for a
while. Following this incident. Davi-
son had a sharp rebound Of more than
4 points. This excitement naturally
created some unsettlement in the gen
eral list but the disturbance vas not
great in view Of the breadth and vol
ume of the inward movement.
Noon Hour
After Dawson Chemical started it's
break, quotations on the Stock Elk
change ticker ran from eight to ten
minutes behind the actual transac-
tons. This was due to the tremen-
dous flood Of orders. Davison's gyra-
tons continued to absorb large share
Of the speculative community's atten-
ton through the noon dealings. Fol
lowing the initial break of 81 and re-
bound 70 Tx, Dawson had another
sinking spell which carried the stock
r" 'ow Of IS. a drop Of 20 points
from the morning high.
Fourth Hour
While movements of the Dawson
stock were generally upsetting the
list IN the early afternoon tremendous
activity went ahead In other sections
of the list, the aggregate turnover
in the first three hours reaching the
t~amendous total of $50 600 shares
Industrlals moved ahead under lead
ership Of Can, which reached a new
high on the movement while stand
ard rails also were buoyant with

Wednesday averaged 9217, up 81 per
