.BUCKNER HIT S
AT DAUGHERTY
I'm HIS TRIAL
(By Dispatch A. P. wira)

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The govern
ment struck swiftly today in the trial
, of Harry M. Daugherty, attorney gen
eral in the Harding administration, and
Thomas w. Miller, former alien prop
erty custodian. Richard Merton, the
governments chief witness, testified
that the Societe Suisse Pour Valours de
Metaux, of which he, German citizen,
! was agent was owned by the Metall-
gesellschaft and the Metallbank, Ger
man companies, of which Merton was
an. officer at the time Daugherty and
Miller paid him approximately $7,0O0,-
600 in lieu Of property of the American
Metal company, which had been seized
under the enemy trading act.
District Attorney Buckner, in his
preliminary address outlinging the
governments case, held that the refund
was illegal, even without consideration
of the graft factor, since the law re-
quired all such to be made only to neu-
trails or companies controlled by neu-
trails.
Th egovernment also produced two
letters which were in files in Miller's
office as enemy property custodian at
the time of the restitution which show
ed partial German ownership of the
Societe Suisse.
The jury hearing the case in federal
/! court was told of a champagne dinner
in the exclusive Ritz Carlton hotel, at
which were present the principals in
1.-THE transfer of the S7,00O,OOO.
Daugherty was charged by Bucknel
with having personally destroyed bank
i records to obliterate the trail of graft
1 which the government contends mark
ed the s7O0OOOO transfer: and out OF
which, it is alleged, arose one of the
biggest post war graft cases affecting
fthe government.
Merters testimony came as capsheaf
to that of two other witnesses and
2 four hours opening address by Buck
ner, who asserted he would show thai

bribes totalling $441,000. He alleged
that Daugherty, his brother Nal S
Daugherty, and Jesse Smith, an aid OF
Daugherty who committed suicide, de-
stroyed or arranged to have destroyed
records of thea Midland National bank
at Washington Courthouse, Ohio, which
would have revealed that some of the
S441.OOO was deposited to Daugherty s
account.
Buckner said he would show that
$4,000 of the $4,000 in liberty loan
bonds, Merton is alleged 70 have given
