Defence Rests in
Conspiracy Trial
Daugherty and Miller

New York. Oct. 6.-(P)-Harry NJ.
Daugherty and Thomas w. Miller did
not conspire against the government
IN September, 1921, for brides prom
lsed them from fee of John r. King.
because King had no expectation of
receiving any fee at that time Will
nam Rand asserted in his summation
Tor Miller today.
The conspiracy case. In which
Daugherty and Miller are charged with
Withholding their best services in per-
hitting release of $1,000. 900 inbound
ed assets of the American Metal Com
pany. reached the summation stage
shortly before noon when the defense
unexpectedly rested It's case.
Rand spoke to the jury in defense Of
his client from $50 o'clock this after
noon until $50 and had not concluded
when Judge Mack adjourned court I'M
til tomorrow. He will be followed by
Max D. Steuer, summing up for
Daugherty, and by U. S. Attorney
Buckner for the government This
may be completed tomorrow and Judge
Mack will then charge the jury and
give it the case.
Miller's counsel reached the climax
of his afternoons dissertation just
before adjournment. Up to that time
his remarks had been largely of a
technical nature dealing with the
transfer of stock between German and
Swiss institutions.
IF there was conspiracy" he de-
clared when at last he came to the
point of discussing his clients actions,
lit fell through because the claim
went through Daugherty's and Miller's
offices eight days too late to earn a
penny"
Rand explained to the jury an ar
rangements between King and Richard
Merton, German copper magnate, who
came here to arrange release of the
assets whereby King was to receive a
fee of s per cent. of the 100000 II
the claim was awarded by one date,
and one-half per cent. if it was not
awarded at a later date, and nothing
at all beyond a retainer of $4,000
given him when the arrangement was
made, if the claim did not go through
before a later specified date.

be impossible during the coming year
to operate the machinery to its full
capacity.
Mr.. Dumaine explained that al
though the actual loss from opera
tons was only $685., 14055, it had
been necessary to lop off more than

the system of valuing stock at cost
or market to bring the inventory
down to substantially the market
value. The exact amout charged off
to the inventory was s2.220,21S.6l,
while s6S7, 609.S9 was expended for
new construction. -
