Deadlock Holds
In Biddeford Mill
ARGUMENTS Due
TODAY IN TRIAL OF
COLONEL MITCHELL

I'd Washington. Dec. 16-(AP)-Last
phases of the Mitchell court martial
trial were reached late today soon af-
SGT former Secretary Weeks letter
stating why Colonel Mitchell had not
been re-appointed assistant chief of
the army air service, was introduced
in evidence.
The placing of Mr.. Weeks state
ment to President Coolidge in the re-
cord. after it has been read by Major
General Dennis Nolan, deputy chief
or staff, overshadowed all other de-
velopments, including when the an
nouncements by prosecution and de-
Tense counsel that they had no fur
Their evidence to offer.
Only one more step, delivery of ar
guments by opposing counsel and a
decision as to whether the evidence
heard shall be used by the court as a
defense, in mitigation or in eXtenua-
ton, remained to be taken before the
tribunal closes for findings. Argu-
ments will be started when the court
opens tomorrow, with Major Allen
Gullian heading off for the prosecu-
ton.
The Weeks letter. with the testi-
mony of General Nolan and his as
sistant staff aid, Brigadier General
Hugh A. Drum, constituted a heavy
blow at the defense case. The letter
itself cited Colonel Mitchell in the
name of his former war chief as an
officer unfit for a high administra-
tive position" and whose whole
course has been SO lawless" despite
his excellent war record" that "he
has forfeited the good opinion of
those who are familiar with the facts
and who desire to promote the best
Interests of national Defense
Il Further blame was attached to Col
pnel Mitchell by Mr.. Weeks for at
hacking not only the war but the
navy department in testimony given
congressional committees early this
syear.
