She was partly to blame. Uncon-

to blame. She grew sick, admitting
this.
She did admit it-censured herself
bitterly. She could have known how
she would feel: known that she

grew quite wild asking herself how,

TESTIMONY FOR
BELL is GIVEN
BY WITNESSES
Chicago Appraisal Expert
CroSS-Examined by
Attorneys.

After a listless forenoon in which
attorneys for the Indiana Bell Tele.
phone Company cross-examined Ed
ward w. Bemis, Chicago appraisal
expert, in an effort to upset his
$28, 900 900 valuation on Bell prop
erty. made for the public service
commission, the company this after
noon turned to introduction Of its
own witnesses.
Thomas r. Keyes, vice president
and general auditor Of the Indiana
Bell, was the company's first witness
in the afternoon. Fred c. Dickson
and George c. Forey, local invest
ment brokers, at the forenoon
session testified for the Bell. Dick
son said any utility should enjoy an
s per cent return and Forey clung
to TN per cent. Bemis, head Of the
commissions appraisal forces, holds
that a per cent return is sufficient.
Dickson told Will H. Thompson,
Bell counsel, that it would be diff
cult for the company to sell its Sc
curities if the buying public were
aware that the company had never
paid dividends on it's common stock.
1t was a significant statement, con-
sidering the fact that present, rates
are higher than Bemis' valuation and
proposed rate of return would allow.
Thompson spent the greater part
of the forenoon trying to draws from
Bemis an admission that gross
discrepancies exist in the figures
from which he derived the total fair
value"
