BY e. w. LEWIS
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-Ri,hard
Merton, Of Frankfort, Germany,
came back as the chief witness in
the Daughyrty- Miller conspiracy
trial today.
He was called rs the first witness
for the defense after the govern
mcat had completed its case
against former Attorney. General
Harry NJ. Dau2hcrty and Thomas
V. Miller, former alien property
custodian, charged with conspiracy
TO dcfraud the government.
Colonel William Rand Of the de-
fense staff questioned Merton care
fully, first as to conversations
Merton had had with r. f. Williams
assistant to Miller, b"for" he APP
piled for return Of $7,000,0G0 assets
of the American Mctal company.
Merton maintained that while
Williams gave him worth while in
formation, be "uscd nv own judg-
ment : in making his application.
When tn" government finished
its casr, it had presented evidence
to show the disposition Of all bat
5000 Of the &39l.o0O in bonds it
alleged had been received by the
late John T. King for his service in
securing return by the government
of the $7,00O000 impounded assets
Of the American Metal company to
its former German owners.
The government failed to trace
the money directly to Daugherty. 1t
introduced evidence TO show that
Miller or his friends had received
about $4,000 worth. The only cvi-
dpnce introduced in any way in
VolNing Daugherty was that which
purported to show that some of the
money had been deposited in the
Midland National Bank in Ohio,
run by Daughcrty's brother, Nal,
and where Daughcrty and his friend
jesse Smith. had accounts.
Merton was excused after cross
examination by counsel for DaUgh-

CLUB URGES CARE
in DRIVING over
SAND Hill. ROUTE

Care in driving over the new road
through the sand hills, which re
places the old plank road, is urged
hy the National Automobile club.
While the new pavement is wide
and safe as long as ordinary care is
used, the danger lies in the fact
that the state highway department
has heavily oiled the sand ON either
side Of the pavement for Il distance
of four feet.
The heavy oil gives the sand the
same appearance as the pavement,
Several machines have recently
made the mistake of driving ON the
sand, instead of the pavement, and
as the former is deep and somewhat
loose, the machines have met dis
aSter.
The new road between FL Centre
and Iloltvillc is in good condition, al
though the old road is used on the
last two miles.
From Holtvillc 10 the high line
canal, the new graVelcd road is in
use. This has not been oiled but il
is in very good condition. Two and
one half miles from IIoltvillc u
bridge is out and Il marrow bridge
is m use over an irrigation canal, 1t
is dangerous to drive the bridge at
high speed.
Between the end Of the sand hills
and Yuma, the new highway has re
