The bodies of Mr.. Hsie and

line against the wall of the
passage-way leading from the
basement kitchen to the furn-

Mr.. WI was lying face
down as If he might have fall

body looked, according to
statements Of persons there
that night, as If it had been
placed in the position in which
It was found, and a sofa cush-
ion had been laid over the
face.
Near Mr.. WI was found his
pistol, containing two empty
shells. This pistol was identi-
fled by Kang III who had seen
It before and knew where Mr..
WI kept 1t. He described it
as rusty and hard to operate.
This was true I know, be-
cause when, in one of my many
examinations, the detectives
asked me to pull the trigger
Of this pistol, I was too weak
from my illness to do so,

my effort. I have never
owned or fired a pistol in my
life and know very little
about them, but I know the
detectives made a ridiculous
assumption in the comics

They assume all the shoot

pistol and according to their
theories, it would then be
necessary to reload it once or
twice.

ner's cross examination Of the
witness"
Merton Is on Stand
The witness on the stand at the
! time was Richard Merton, head Of
4 great German metal corporation,
/ who has been on the stand for
several days and who had testified
he had engaged the late John T..
King, Connecticut politician, for
SAL 900 in 1921 to rush a Merton
claim of $1,000. 900 through the Of
flee Of the former Alien Property
Custodian.
Another surprise developed when
Steuer made it apparent that the
two defendants, Daugherty and
Miller, are not in accord on the.
legal tactics to be adopted during
the trial.
Steuer said he could not divine"
what Col. William Rand. attorney
for Miller. was aiming at in his de-
fenae--in fact. that in Rand's
previous examination of Merton,
Rand had endangered the defense
of Daugherty.
Defenses Independent
Steuer made It clear that Daugh-
erty and Miller were conducting in
dependent defenses to the Govern
ment's charge Of conspiracy.
The issue arose from an objec-
tion entered by steuer to Buckner's
''impeaching" and cross examin-
| Ing OF Merton. who originally had
been regarded a. q witness for the
Government.
Judge Mack pointed out that
Steuer should have objected TO
Rand'S examination of MertCn,
which had opened the way for
cross.examination by Ruckner.
BY your silence you acquiesced,"
remarked the court.
ST should have objected" Steues
admitted, adding:
The reason for my silence was
out of Difference to Colonel Rand
and Mr.. Miller, but not out OF any
agreement. / do not wish to la
stroy Mr.. Miller's defense. nor do
want Colonel Rand to destroy
Mr.. Daugherty'a defense.
Merton. on the witness stand for
the fourth day, stood divorced as .
Government witness through his
statement that he had never had
any suspicion that the SAL 900 fee
paid the late John Il. King, Con-
necticut, for q fee" in connection
with putting through an alien
property claim, had been dis
tributed" to Government officials.

Buckner, following this naive
statement from the so-called gov.
examined Merton and drew forth
man army officer had received
through the reclamation project.
II was to do what / pleased with
the $3.50, 00O," Merton testified.
While the battle for legal position
in the trial surged around Merton,
the defense indicated part of its
tactics by stating on the record
that they contended even though the
Swiss society was owned by Ger
mans 1t had a legal right, as a
corporation Of neutral country,
TO obtain its claim.

side the court room again today as
the trial continued.
