CLAIMS TESTIMONY
PROVED BOOMERANG
Attorney for Shotwell Discusses
Evidence of Gift of
Automobile.
SAYS HE 0BEYED ORDERS
Declares He First Opposed Sale Of
Air Service Lumber.

The testimony offered by the prose-
cution about the gift of an automo-
bile from Frank T. Sullivan, lumber
mechant of Buffalo, N Y, to Charles
S. Shotwell, former chief of the ma
terla1 disposal and salvage section of
the Army air service, proved a boom
erang, according to Attorney Thomas
{. Bradley in his argument today be-
fore Justice Bailey in Criminal Divi-
sion for an instructed verdict of ac-
quittal for Shotwell.
The government, in its opening
statement. he said. had declared that
Shotwell was not in the original con-
spiracy. but was induced to enter by
means OF an automobile which was
given him by Sullivan. The gift, ac-
cording to the evidence, took place
January IA, 1920, and counsel assert
ed that was more than a year after
the last overt act of the alleged con-
spiracy as shown by the testimony
for the prosecution.
Shotwell could not have been in
duced TO enter the conspiracy as
the result of the alleged bribe. he
declared, when more than a year had
elapsed after the last overt act OF
the so-called conspiracy before the
automobile came into his possession.
The record is barren, the lawyer con-
by Shotwell Of the existence of a
conspiracy between Philips and the
other defendants
All the actions of Shotwell in ref
erence to the release OF lumber under
the contract between the government
and Philips & Stephens, the LAWYER
SAID were in strict accord with in
structians from his superiors and
were approved hy all of them.
Shotwell never ordered the clearing
or lumber for sale at a price below
the market value, as alleged by the
government. counsel said, because no
prices were fixed until long after the
orders for clearance. Shotwell op-
posed the release of the air service
lumber until his superior officer had
declared the contract must be car
ried out with Philips and Stephens.
Justice Bailey announced that dur
ing the heated term there will be but
one session of the court each day
lasting from O'Clock until | O'Clock

VERGE WATCHES
VALUABLE AS
ANTIQUES
Engraved Balance Covering
Gives Seventeenth Century
Timepieces Rare Charm.

/ Thexe is one branch Of collecting
of curios, art objects, and antiques
which has not received the atten-
tor which it deserves.
About the end OF the seventeenth
century a new development in the
works of verge watches resulted in
a covering being made for the bal
ance. This covering, called a
watch cock, was at first probably
! plain, but the size of the surface
| in an artistic age soon suggested
| establishment. and the variety and
form OF the decoration was ali done
| by hand.
About thirty years ago or more
/ the watch cock was made up into
various articles of adornment. such
as brooches and necklaces. This
fashion caused many old verge
watches to be broken up. and, the
supply not being equal to the de-
mand, forgeries were made in
Birmingham and other centers.
These can be easily detected by
their inferiority; but they soon dis
appeared, as the craze lasted only
a few seasons.
! Number Yet to Be. Found.
/
Since that time verge watches,
long superseded, have been broken
up as useless, but the jewelers.,
recognizing the beauty and fine
workmanship of the verge cock, as
a rule put it aside, so that at the
present time quite a number may
be found.
The ordinary verge cock is a
brass disc with foot. This was
pierced by hand in a variety of de.
signs similar in character but never
alike, and then, after being chased,
engraved or otherwise worked, was
heavily gilt by the old process
known as water or fire gliding. 1t
is somewhat difficult to classify
| verge cocks under the heading OF
date because the dates overlap.
Roughly, they run from the end of
| the seventeenth to the beginning
of the nineteenth century; but the
| collector will find, after a little
study, that they can be classified
under the head of form.
They may be divided under the
following headings: Ordinary
engraved, engraved with birds;
carved with birds; engraved or
carved with heads; symetric and
geometric patterns; eccentric or I'M
usual patterns; chased work; ami
mails, other than birds; incurved
patterns resembling ironwork; open.
work edges; initials worked in the
pattern; foreign ones; exceptionally
rare figured ones; open.wcrk feet;
flarge ones with open-work feet and
! wings; silver ones: enameled ones;
circular with an arm on each side,
but no foot
Beauty Of workmanship and va.
riety Of design are the outstanding
features of watch cocks; the best
are finely pierced and cut, and, with
the exception of those classed as
| geometric. two will never be found
exactly alike.
