tective Ferd David in 1922. The pin
is not among the exhibits and jury
records now in the possession of
State Senator Simpson, special prose-
cutor.
Tierse told Mr.. Simpson he found
the brooch between the crabapple
tree under which the bodies were
found and the Phillips farmhouse
the day after rthe discovery of the
double murder.
Senator Simpson learned of the
brooch in letter received at his Jer-
sey City office today from New
Brunswick woman, who said the pin
was in Tierse's possession. Mr.. Simp-
son left for Somerville upon receipt
of the letter.
Questioned at state police head
quarters here, Tierse denied he had
the pin. saying he had not seen it
since turning the clue over to De-
tective David.
Tierse later was taken to the scene
Of the murders and pointed out the
spot where the pin was found.
The brooch was described as being
an antique of solid gold with an in
laid cross which was worn by the
Ladies' Guild of the Episcopal
Church in England many years ago.
IF the pin can be found and
identified" Senator Simpson said. "it
will be an important point in our
case.
Five new witnesses whose names
were not divulged were questioned
during the day and five will be
quizzed tomorrow, the senator said.
Rumors that two eye witnesses to the
Staying had turned up were dis
counted.
Despite the opinion of Inspector
Underwood of Jersey City that the
% calibre pistol of Spanish make
found in Philadelphia had not been
used in the murders of DR.. Hall and

Patrick Hayes, chief of the investi-

One Boy Bandit to
Prison, Other Near
Death in Hospital

Pueblo. Colo, Aug. 2O--(P)-The
efforts of a youth of 81 and his lit
tie brother, IA, to emulate western
bad man" of the by-gone day end
ed today with Leslie Gonce, the
younger brother of the pair, lying in
a hospital at the point of DEATH while
hir elder brother, Forrest was in the
county Jail, waiting to be taken to
the State penitentiary to serve 20 to
80 years for highway robbery.
Leslie was shot by Deputy Sheriff

the McNary-Haugen bill at the re-
cent session Of congress.
The Republicans, in the opinion Of
Mr.. Capper, will suffer no serious
setback in the fall elections, while in
Kansas he predicted they would re-
elect both Senator Curtis and Gov
ernor Paulsen and probably gain at
least one seat in the house, that for
the second congressional district
President Coolidge, the senator
added, was still strong in the west"
particularly because of his economy
program, although he added there Is
some disappointment that the presi-
dent did not support the price stabil-
ization idea of the McNary- Haugen
bill.
In opposing the price sterilization
plan Mr.. Rosenwald contended if it
were attempted it would only lend in
vicious circle
The cooperative marketing move
ment he endorsed as sound and prac-
teal, explaining that the prices now
paid for farm products by the con-
sumner and those obtained by the
producer for the commodities were
100 1ar apart. AS for credit facilities,
he added through the farm loan
banks and other agencies, and with
the money condition as it now is,
ample facilities exist in this direction
for the farmer
While declaring he did not wish to
discuss politics, Mr.. Rosenwald said
the economic views f Mr.. Coolidge
were entirely justified and he believ-
ed 'the agitation against the presi-
dnt" in some sections of the country
had been Exaggerated" The far
mers, he added, now feel different
ly" toward the president and with
the people generally he has gained in
strength great deal.
Mr. Rosenwald described an excel
lent business condition generally, as
judged from the mail orders of Sears
Roebuck and Company, which since
July l. when it's last figures were
published, have exceeded eXpecta-
tons. Except for Iowa, the Dakotas
and Minnesota, he explained, gains
in business have been reported every
where with the territory from Chica-
go to Kansas City reporting the big
gest gains.

Probe Deepens
"H0N0RARIUMS" FOR
DRY MEMBERS ARE
heard IN CONGRESS

Washington, June 1S-(P)-Anti-
Saloon League "honorariums" for dry
members of congress who take the
stump for prohibition became the
center today of another whirl of wet
and dry discussion In congress.
Much cloak-room speculation and
several public statements resulted
from last nights testimony by
Wayne B. Wheeler before the senate
campaign funds, in which he asso-
ciated the names of four senators
and four representatives with the
leagues policy Of paying prohibition
spellbinders.
The statements We're from some
of those mentioned by Mr.. Wheeler
and the explanations made were of
widely different character.
Representative Lowry, Democrat,
Missouri, said it was true he accepted
a fee Of $50 from the Maryland Anti
Saloon League for making a dry
speech in Baltimore and had mo
apology to make"
Rising to a point Of personal privi-
lege in the senate, Senator Willis,
Republican, Ohio, said he had made
speeches outside Ohio before he. be-
came senator, but that payment for
them was made by the "communi-
ties" to which they were addressed.
payroll, he said, nor taken money
from the national organization.
Representative Upshaw, Demo-
crat, Georgia, mentioned by Wheeler
as havig made many dry speeches
for pay, said he Confessed" to ac-
cepting a modest honorarium," and
challenged Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, Wheeler's cross examiner, to
please enlighten the public how
many thousands he has made trying
famous cases since he became sena-
tor" He also asked Reed to investi-
gate the sources Of income of sena-
tors against the prohibition amend
ment and cited instances ~ which he
said the association and it's members
had boosted of turning dry majorities
into wet majoritieS in Maryland and
Massachusetts.
Likewise, conceding he had taken
modest honorariums" from local
organizations Representative Cooper,
Republican, Ohio, declared Senator
Reeds destinations that senators
and members of congress have been
influenced to support the dry cause
because of any fees they have re-
ceived is as far fetched as it is con-
temptible."
The talk about accepting fees
from the Anti-Saloon League ap-
parently is tending nowhere, al
though there are indications that
more of it will be heard before the
end of the session. Representative
Tinkham, Republican, Massachu-
sets, recently drew up bill to pro-
hibit members of congress from TAX
ing money for speeches on current
legislative subjects, but even the
friends of that proposal do not eX-
pect it to get very far toward enact
ment.
