RICHARDSON TRIAL WEARS CONCLUSION Congressman Has Only One Wit.
 ness to Support Defense

Key West. Fla. May $ R)-Trial of Congressman M Alfred Michael- son. of Illinois, charged with violat- ing the prohibition laws was expect ed to be concluded here today.
 Although the government had IT more witnesses to be heard. only one witness had been named for the defense. Judge Halstead l.. Rite, said he would hold a night session if necessary to complete the trial.
 While the government attempted to prove that the congressman brought liquor into this country from Cuba, in January 1928, interest centered on possible testimony Of Walter Gramm. Chicago coal dealer. said to be close friend of Repre- sentative Michaelson. Defense at- torneys declined to give any intima tion as to Gramm's probable testi- mony. nor would they divulse whether other witnesses might be called.
 Only four government witnesse. were heard as the trial got under way yesterday. A large part of th., afternoon was taken up by argu- ments on defense pleas and motions. Judge Ritter refused the defense a plea in abatement, motion 10 quash and a demurrer to the indict- ment.
 Later the court denied a defense motion for a mistrial. Taking of testimony proceeded over an obiec- tion by the defense as to the admis- sibility of the evidence. relating to the alleged discovery of a leak ,n one of six trunks. which the govern mcnt charged were brought from Cuba by Michaelson and in two of which it was charged liquor was found.
 The court reserved a ruling on the admissibility. pending testimony by government witnesses that would connect it with charges against the congr essrlan.
 Testimony of the witnesses yestcr- day was intended 10 show that the liquor was found in two of the six trunks which were seized in Jack sonvillc by federal agents. Baggage attendants on the train said :he trunks were shipped from Key West to Jacksonville. One Of the witness es said he saw on one Of the trunks in printed letters, the word Michael son"
 A Jacksonville city policeman. who reported the leaking trunks to the government agents. testified he wa. present when the trunks were op. n ed and that two of them contained
 liquor.

EIGHT FLEE HOUSE
 AS ROOF CAVES IN
Schultz House Near Town Line
 Gutted by Night Fire
FIREMEN FORGET HOSE
Delay in Giving Alarm and Absence of Nearby Water Let Flames Make Headway-Sady Bound over on Statutory Charse-Berlin Items.

Fire last night destroyed the home of Michael Schultz, just over the Berlin line in Rocky Hill, doing about 5000 damage. The ire start' ed after the family. consisting of MT. and Mrs. Schultz and six chll- dren. the oldest 16. had retired TOT the night. They were warned by Mrs. Colby, living across the street, and rushed from the house as the root collapsed. No one was injured, but nothing in the house was saved. The origin of the fire is not known, ai- though one of the children stated that it started in the upper part ol the house.
 The Berlin authorities were not- fled and upon checking up on the location found that the house was over the line. and that they were unable to call the New Britain hre department. There was some delay in calling the Rocky Hill depart nent and this did not arrive until nothing but the timbers of the wall were left standing.
 As there was no water available on the property. it was necessary 10 use a cistern at nearby house Then it was discovered by members of the fire department that they had failed to bring along the large hose without which they were helpless. A con.ta ble was dispatched post haste after the needed hose. After about 1s minutes he returned and water va. turned on the few glowing tim bers that were left of the once pros- porous looking house.
 The. hjrh wind blew funnel aped column of sparks skyward which attracted a large number ot cars from the main road ard fro" Kcnsinston, where the fire waa rlainly visible. The fire was brilliant iv reflected on the new foliage o' the nearby trees and lit up the countryside for a quarter of mile all around. although members Of the Rocky Hill fire department stated that it was not noticed from the center of the town at all.

COPPER CH|EF SEES PROFITS EL[cTR|CAL
 DEVIL { ? N [ N I 5

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug, 8, P)- L. s. Gates, president and gen. eral manager of the Utah Copper company, believes that the con- tinued prosperity of the copper in dustry is assured by major electri- fication programs and the growing use for copper in building construc- tion
 Since the year 1919," he says, "the copper industry has been struggling along under the handi- cap of low prices and it was not until the end of 1928 that any relief was in sight.
 When 1t is remembered that during the pre-war years, 1912 and 1913, copper was selling for about 16 cents a pound, and that during the last eight years the average price has not been more than 13.5 cents, and fell to 11.6 cents in Aug ust 1921, it is gratifying to know that copper has taken place in the market commensurate with it's cost of production.
 Many copper properties were closed during the period just men toned, as these operations could not survive So long a period of de-
 
 of survival of the fittest.
 Those properties that could keep their heads above water were forced to do so on a curtailed basis. as demands seemed invariably to be less than the amount that could be produced, and unsold inventor les were in most cases rising to un- business like proportions.

BOYS STORY HOLDS
TWO FOR MURDER
Autoist Is Acquitted in Child's
Death at Inquest Held in
Prince Georges.

An autoist was acquitted of all blame
in the death of a little girl and two
colored men held for the action OF the
grand jury on a murder charge as
result of two inquests in Prince Georges
County last night.
The testimony of 14-year-old col
ored boy, who identified Lester Medley,
also colored, as the man he saw near
the home of George Gray, colored, the
night the latter was murdered, led a
coroner's jury at Upper Marlboro to
hold Medley and John Moore coloreo'
for the grand jury. =,
Gray was murdered In his home In
Fairmont Heights several weeks ago.
His head had been crushed with an ak
which was found nearby. The man had
been robbed of $500.

urday night of Catherine Erhart, 8
years old, when a coroner'S jury, under
Justice of Peace Robert E. Joyce, at
tributed the child's death to an unavold-
able accident.
It was testified that the girl ran in

being driven slowly up Thirty fourth

wheels before the car could be stopped.

MERGE CASES
IN LIQUOR CLEANUP
Attorney Believes One Stronger
Accusation Better Than Many
Small Ones.

In an effort to dry up the District
by closing many former "speakeaSies,"
David A. Hart, assistant United States
attorney, has decided to roll all of the
smaller charges which are pending
against various alleged bootleggerS into
one big case. with as many counts as
there are offenses charged against the
men. and the addition of nuisance
count.
Hart announced that there are large
number of persons on his books with
several cases of possession against them
Quite a few of the individual cases are
very weak and would be hard to prove
before jury separately, but taken as
one case and tried at one time the
strong counts will bolster the weak ones.
Hart also says that nuisance charge
by itself is hard to prove, but IL
charge brought before a jury, with tne
evidence" seized in several different
arrests present, it will be much easier
to get convictions on this. too.
Hart does not agree with the police
statement that bootleggers remain in
business for only a comparatively short
period of time. He says that in most in
stances a rule of "once a bootlegger
always hootlegger" will apnl"
