WITNESS CHANGES
 STORY FREQUENTLY
Johnson, Called in Miller Daugherty Case, Is Uncertain

New York, Oct 5 Pi-Repeated denial. of testimony he gave before tho Wheeler -Brookhart congression- al inveai gation committee and De- fore a grand jury marked the testi- mony of Adna R. Johnson in the Daugherty- Miller conspiracy trial today.
 Johnson, special assistant attorney general under Harry NJ. Daugherty wrote the letter that led to the re- lease of Richard Merton, German metal magnate, of S7,0e0,000 shares of American Metal Company shares, he is one of three witnesses to as- sume responsibility for approving the two claims on which the conspiracy charges against Daugherty and Thomas w. Miller, former alien property custodian.
 As United Statets Attorney Emory R. Buckner read excepts from John- sons previous testimony, some of 1t given in federal court yesterday Johnson would say that it was not altogether true and correct 1t.
 In one part of his testimony he said he wdrked three hours on the two claims. In another he worked six weeks. Today he said he could not remember how long he worked, but reckoned that it was probably nine hours.
 Tn examining Johnston William Rand, counsel for Miller, brought out that Buekner was also hired to fight cases before the alien property custedian's office and that his firm received a fee of s54,o0o in that case.
 A clash between all the lawyers followed this attempt of MT. Rands to show that there was nothing un- usual about Miller having hired Johnston as was testified yester- day.
 A. court was being adjourned for lunch, Nal s. DaughHrty was re- called as a witness, this tune py the defense.

companied reports of prosecutions OF
Amos Searway, William Madore and
Arthur Albert of East Millinocket,
before the municipal court at Mil

being charged with having deer
meat in possessions in close time.
1t appears from the warden's re-
port that on March II, while en-

linocket, through the woods, he
passed a deer yard and noticed
quite lot of snowshoe tracks COM

tracks and found where three deer
had been killed. He tracked the
party to East Millinocket and by
some clever detective work, aided by
search warrants, found deer meat in
three houses, which meat was con-
fiscated as the law provides in such
cases.
The parties in whose houses the
deer meat was found We're formally
arraigued in court and each man
was fined $75 and costs taxed at
$l9.17. The fines and costs in the
cases against William Madore and

Mass. Game COm'r.
Suggests Change In
Maine Rabbit Law

Visitors at the fish and game de-
partment within the past few days
have expressed much interest in the
comments upon the Maine rabbit
law made by Commissioner William
c. Adams of the Fish and Game De-
partment of Massachusetts, at a
meeting of the Cumberland County
Fish and Game Association last
Thursday evening.
Commissioner Adams recon-
mended a change in the Maine rabbit
law, or, at least, called attention to
the desirability of a change where
by the expectation of dead rabbits
be prohibited, for this reason,-that
sportsmen's clubs in Massachusetts
will be glad to pay several times
more for live rabbits trapped in
Maine for stocking Massachusetts
than the hunters obtain from the
dead ones which they ship to the
Boston markets.
Hunters should remember that
rabbits CANNOT be HUNTED or
KILLED at the present time in AN
DROSCOGGIN, SAGADAHOC, or
YORK Counties, and the open season
in the remaining thirteen counties
expires the last day of March. While
hunters living in Androscoggin, Sag
adahoc and York Counties can
HUNT rabbits in the OTHER
counties at the present time, they
cannot KILL the rabbits and have
them in possession in Afdroscoggiu.
Sagadahoc, or York Counties now.

is more than remarkable. The act
