Simpson objected. During the argu-
ment between the lawyers Mrs. Glib
son kept talking. explaining that the
talk referred to concerned the sale of
a mule.

like him to testify or say that on
the night of the murders he was

sinued Case.
why should I offer him 500? He
asked how much I wanted for a pair
Of mules and said $780,"
did you not say that no one could
dispute his story and that II the de-
fendants themselves disputed It. 1t
would be an admission OF their having
been at the scene?'
II didn't say nothing like It.
Didn't you tell him he could get

who. at the time of the killing, was
a reporter on the Camden Courier?
Did you tell him you could not iden-

II told him I had nothing to say"
she replied.
The answer was repeated as the
question was pressed.
do you remember testifying at
the preliminary hearing August
1926. in this courthouse?"
"Yes"
Did you not say Then I saw

"A further question was, Whose

your reply, This man here pointing
to Henry Carpender?"
Yes"
''Will Henry carpenter please stand
up?" said Case.
Henry Carpenter, under Indictment
with his three cousins. but not on
trial, made his first appearance in
the courtroom during the trial. He
rose from seat near the defendants
and moved to the bedside of the
witness.
"Is this the man."
THAT is one of Them.
The defense objected to the form Of
the answer and an argument de-
veloped, with Case insisting that the
urging that it be left In.
The question was reframed to read:
You did not say anything about an.
other man being there, at the other
hearing?'
NO" answered the witness.
"At this preliminary hearing did
you at any time during your testi.
mony mention any other man as being
at the scene Of the crime, besides
Henry Carpender?" asked Case.
II wasn't asked" replied the wit

what it took last year.
The great difficulty in the French
situation has been the attitude of
that country toward it's debt to the
| United States, the decline of the
frame and the unsettled political con-
dition This has had it's reaction on
all industry and has shown up IN
| the figure for copper consumption
for that country in that their i'm
ports during 1924 averaged 11,2S1
tons monthly, dropping to 9,204 tons
monthly average during 1925 and 81
1876 tons during the early months of
1926.
When we consider these conditions
and realize that a very large percent
age of the copper exported from the
United States goes to these four
countries, we can more fully APP
preciate the detrimental effect on the
copper industry of disturbed political,
financial or industrial conditions in
these particular countries, and it
makes us realize that things are
far from being settled and that the
copper industry, whose velvet de-
pends so much upon foreign condi-
tions, must look farther than Just
around the corner for in impro' e
ment
With only about 40, 900 tons per
month of copper being exported to
the European countries and better
than 80 per cent of this going to
the countries above mentioned, we
can readily see and appreciate our
interest in the settlement of indus
trial. political and financial problems.
While the formation of a new ex-
port copper trading company taking
/, the place of the old Copper Export
association has brought about more
cheerful sentiment, it cannot accom-
plish a great deal until the market
in foreign countries is ready to alb
sorb the copper. There is no ques-
| tion however, as to it's ultimate
value and particularly when it is
considered from the viewpoint of be-
ing a quite complete organization,
containing practically every important
North and South America producer
with the, exception of Miami Copper
company and every foreign producer
with the exception of Rio Tinto.
Thus it controls practically the en-
| tire output Oh Tie WOrIQ W1Cn the
exception Of Japan and as that is
used almost altogether within that
country it does not enter into ex
port consideration.
In the meantime, domestic copper
consumption remains in good shape
although not large. Production has
been maintained at a steady level. and
the surplus stocks Of copper remain
less than three weeks supply.
In the face of foreign difficulties,
the copper producers are greatly
favored by a very strong statistical
position of the metal and a thorough
understanding as to the necessity
for balancing production and con-
sumption. Without these conditions,
the European situation would have
caused very serious depression in
the copper market and while a long
continuation of the present European
conditions might cause a slump it
is not anticipated that it will be a
serious one.

WEEKLY COPPER REVIEW

(By Charles f. Willis, editor, The
Mining JournaD.
The stability of the stabilizing pro-
gram of the copper producers is GO
ing to have it's test in the next few
weeks by the ability of the produc-
ers to maintain copper prices in the
face of much disturbed European
conditionhs. While the price has
weakened somewhat to 13 Use, it is
believed, however, that the copper
| producers have the situation sutfi-
cientIy well in hand and have so ad
| justed their production that there
| will be little effect upon the price
coming as the result of the British
strike situation, the continued decline
| of the French franc, and the UNI
employment situation of Germany
If the present status of the cop
| per industry. was largely based upon
an export trade, the European con-
ditions at the present time would
undoubtedly seriously affect the mar
ket but while European countries
have been good customers, it has been
the unusually large domestic con-
sumption that has put the copper in
dustry on a fundamentally sound
foundation.
! 1t is to Europe and an improve
ment in it's conditions that the cop
per industry is looking forward to
for it's prosperity Of the future, but
! it has been with a knowledge tina;
European conditions were far from
being settled that has caused the
stabilizing program of the copper
Eproducers and forced them, in their
Town protection, to adjust production
to consumption and take no chances
Iof a rapidly fluctuating market
I The settlement of the Italian debt
and the reportssof a probable settle
ment of the French indebtedness
have been good signs, but they alone
are not sufficiently good signs to
justify any expectation of an i'm
proved European condition as related
| to the copper market.
We must not forget that the United
Kingdom, where industry is now at
standstill, was the second largest
importer of copper. During 1925 an
average of 1,245 tons of copper was
imported into the United Kingdom as
against the import for Germany OF
1906 tons, France 9,2O4 tons, and
Italy 5,414 tons.
Even before the actual starting ot
the industrial strife, in England there
has been a falling off in British
copper consumption as the average
imports for the first three months
of 1925 were almost 1000 tons per
month less than during 1925, or TO be
more exact, 9,671 tons and it is en-
tirely probable that with a continual
tion of the strike which seems in
evitable, we are going to lose cop
per- sales in that country to a very
considerable extent.
The unemployment condition of
Germany is greatly reflected into the
copper consumption of that country
While Germany imported 8,O59 tons
per month average during 1924, jump
ed to about double that amount in
1925, or 16,0S6 tons, 1926 has shown
up very poorly I'M that the average
monthly imports to Germany are only
$50 tons, or about one-third of

MISSING Clerks
WIFE EXONERATED
Had No Connection With Dis
appearance of Christmas
Fund, Police Believe.

Mrs. Damon Young. wife of the
War Department clerk who is the
object of the nationwide search in
connection with a $4,000 Christmas
savings fund with which he Is alleged
to have been intrusted by fellow Gov
ernment employees, has been exon
Grated by police, 1t was announced
at headquarters today.
Inspector Henry G. Pratt yesterday
afternoon sent a personal representa-
tive to meet Mrs. Young by appoint.
ment in the downtown section and
after the interview assurance was
given that the young woman Will not
be subjected to further questioning.
Mrs. Young, according to police,
was not taken into the confidence OF
her husband, and his disappearance
was as much Of a surprise to her as
to the affected Government clerks.
Scores Of friends Of Mrs. Young have
testified to her good reputation.
The wife was represented today as
still having confidence that her hus-
band has absented himself with the
resolve to adjust his affairs and that
he eventually would return to her and
their daughter. Mrs. Young was
unable to give the police any tnforma-
ton which might guide them In their
search.
A number Of places where Young
was thought likely to have gone have
been communicated with without re-
suit.
1t is the hope Of the police that they
will be able to trace him through the
automobile which he Is known to
have taken with him.
