Peters, deputy sheriff. Hickman
took a seat almost without being
observed by those in the courtroom.
Peters, a six-foot giant, lowered
above the diminutive, Hickman as
the two walked to their seats.
One Guard Over Youth
It was decided that Peters alone
would serve as guard for Hickman
during the trial.
Court officials felt it might arouse
sentiment in favor of the youth if
he were seen in court with a large
detail of officers standing watch.
Eiickmans brother, Alfred, 21-year-
old University of Kansas student,
occupied seat near his brother and
sat gazing fiXedIy at "The Fox"
The chair assigned to Hickman's
mother was vacant as the trial
started. She was resting in prepar-
alton for the ordeal of taking the
stand.
The mother indirectly will attempt
to shoulder Edwards crime.
For it was she who was blamed for
Edwards alleged insanity. Several
years ago she spent some time in
an asylum. She will tell Of this on
the stand, admitting that she be-
lieveS her mentality affected Ed
ward and that she believes him a
victim of hereditary insanity.
Mother to Be Blamed
The father, too, will lay the blame
on the mother. He will tell Of the
causes of the estrangement, and
how he believes Edward was a VIC
tim of his mothers insanity.
Then there will be dispositions
from Hickman's former associates
his classmates in high school in
Kansas City and former neighborS
of the family.
These dispositions will tell Of
queer actions"
Alienists will testify in scientific
terms regarding Edwards insane
tendencies" They will be counter
acted by State alienistS, who have
found Hickman undoubtedly sane"
Perhaps the most colorful prose-
cution witness will be Perry Parker,
father of Marion. Fresh in his
mind as he testif1es will be the
afternoon on which he bought
Marion's body from Edward Hick-
man for seventy-five twenty dollar
notes.
Vividly he will recall how Hick-
man, after taking the money from
him, threw the little girls body out
of an automobile and drove away.
Father to Testify
Parker, too, will tell how he was
instrumental in having Edward
who formerly worked in his bank
convicted on forgery charge.
The desire for self-preservation
will prompt WeIby Hunt, 18-year-
old former companion of Hickman,
to testify for the State. Hunt will
tell of the association of the two
in criminal activities before Mar
ions murder.
Where the defense theories about
youth suffering from inherited in
sanity, the State will paint a picture
of an honor student in high school,
obsessed with a desire to commit
"the perfect crime"
District Attorney Asa Keyes win
tell how Hickman left Kansas City
high school as an honor student and
then embarked on career of crime.
He will vision hold-ups, robberies,
shooting affrayS, forgeries, and then
the Staying Of Marion Parker.

$404,0O0 LOAN TO FALL
BY PAUL MALLON
United Press Stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Harry
F. Sinclair informed the Teapot
Dome investigating committee to-
day that he readily would furnish
the committee the books of his
Hyva Corporation, showing his
private finances.
The information was communited
to the committee by Sinclair'S at
torney, Martin w. Littleton, at the
start of the second days hearing.
Sinclair did not appear, but Lit
tleton said he would when wanted.
L. L. Stevens of the Standard Oil
Of Indiana told the committee that
Robert w. Stewart, chairman of
the board of the company, is in
Havana and will not be able to ap-
pear before the committee immedi-
ately.
Senator Walsh of Montana de-
manded Stewards appearance with
in thirty-six hours-the time he
though it would require to come
here from Havana.
Stevens replied that Stewart had
made important business engage
mentS in Mexico and was going
there from Cuba.
New york bankers were called by
the Senate Teapot Dome Committee
today to trace about $1,000000 in
bonds which passed through their
agencies in the name of H. M.
Blackmer, missing oil trial witness.
Vague political rumors have
spread concerning the disposition Of
the securities and Senator Walsh OF
Montana, conducting the investl ga
ton, believes he can learn the
identity of every person who re-
ceived or handled them.
Walsh has ascertained that $685.
COO Of the bonds were given by
Harry F.. Sinclair, the oil man, to
former Secretary of Interior Albert
B. Fall, a short time after Fall Sc
cretly leased the Teapot Dome naval
reserve to Sinclair in 1922.
SOn-in-Law Bares Deal
M. T. Everhart, Son-in-law of
Fall, told that story TO the COM
mittee late yesterday, piecing to-
gether a hidden chapter that Gov
ernment prosecutors and in
vestigators have been seeking to get
for three years.
In May, 1922 "a month after Fall
had leased Teapot Dome to Sin
clair), Fall told Everhart they ought
to reorganize their debt-ridden
cattle lands in New Mexico and that
he had "a party" who was willing
to put up money and go in with
them. The party" was Sinclair.
Everhart went to Sinclair's private
railway car here and got $4,000
in bonds. Later he went to New
York and received $4,000 more.
Third Interest in Ranch
For this money Sinclair was sup
posed to be given a third interest
in the cattle lands with EverharJ
and Fall. But the stock certificate
never was made out in Sinclair'S
name and Fall borrowed money
upon it at the Pueblo bank. Where
it is now, Everhart said he did not
know.
In addition, Everhart revealed
that Sinclair had loaned Fall, with
out security, $4,000 in cash, which
Everhart carried from Sinclair to
Fall.
Thus, according to Everhart, Sin
clair advanced $3Oi,OO0 in bonds ana
cash to Fall. 1t also has been es-
tablished that E. L. Doheny, Cali
fornia oil magnate, loaned Fab
100000, making 100000 Fall re-
ceived from the two oil men.
