eral witnesses while awaiting the
courts decision in the Page mat
ter.
E. J. Armbruster, agent Of the
Bureau of Investigation Of the
Department of Justice, and an
expert accountant, was expected
to be the most important witness
today.
Mr.. Armbruster has conducted
an extensive inquiry into the
weird financial transactions Of
the bishop during 1928.
Bankers Called
Bishop Cannon maintained half
dozen bank accounts in Wash.
ington and in Virginia cities, and
it was the shifting of funds among
these accounts that mystified the
Nye committee during its investi.
cation.
Armbruster, it is understood,
has familiarized himself with all
of these transactions and was to
detail them to the jury. The jury
was to hear direct testimony on
these accounts from the bank Of.
ficialS. About half a dozen bank.
erS of Richmond and other Vir.
ginia cities were called to testify.

"fGun MoH's" Killing Stirs
AL Capone's Trial

Chicago yesterday, there was a
buzz of horror. Marion Miller
may have been a wild, lawless
creature, but she is the first wo-
man to be put on the spot in Chi
cago, and it has been a shock to
the city.

Justice Proctor said he felt that

The resolution prohibited Of

ing House records in court ex.

of the House. There was, how
ever, an exception made in re-

Judge held that the corrupt prac'

Agreement on Arms
To Speed Recovery

The possibility of an agreement
between France and the United
States to lead the world in re-
ducing ornaments, while further
extending the holiday on inter.
governmental debts, was discussed
in official circles today as re.
ports poured in indicating Presi-
dent Hoover's prosperity pro-
gram" had strengthened Ameri-
can banking interests.
II Mr.. Hoover and Premier
Laval of France can reach an
understanding" on debts, repara-
tions, and disarmament late this
month, it was generally felt, the
whole world will be started on
its way to business recovery.
Willard Sees Hoover
The Administration meanwhile
turned its attention to the prob
lens Of American railroads. There
was some concern over the pend
ing decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the
plea of the carriers for a Is per
cent increase in rates, the pre-
vailing opinion being that the
appeal would be rejected. The
commission. however, has given
no indication of its attitude.
A long visit to the White House
by Daniel willard, president Of
the Baltimore and Ohio, revealed
MFR. Hoover's desire to help i'm.
prove the economic status Of the
carriers. It was reported that
willard served as an audience
while the President expounded his
plans for helping put the railroads
back on a paying basis. Neither
The White House nor Willard
would reveal any of the plans.
Pool to Help Credit
The Presidents program for
liquidating assets in the banks
has met with prompt ratification
by bankers. Once it gets under
way, there should be a distinct i'm
provement in the nations credit
situation.
The Presidents declaration or
foreign loans also attracted atten
ton here. He made it plain the
Administration still frowns upor
unproductive loans to foreign ms
tions. His warning may serve to
check foolish foreign Investments
which have cluttered up soIns
banking institutions with depreci
ated foreign securitieS.

Of New York Bankers today had
completed the formation of the
$500, 100000 credit pool suggested
by President Hoover for relieving
the pressure on the nations
banks.
incorporation articles for the
giant undertaking were to be filed
today at Dover, Del.
The pool will be known as the
National Credit Corporation. It
was to be authorized to issue up
to 1,00O. .OO0, 900 principal amount
of debentures.
Nations Banks Respond
The corporation will have a
nominal capital Of $1,000. This
will consist of IL shares Of stock
with par value Of 500 each.
Satisfactory response from
banks throughout the country
already has been received, said
Mortimer N. Buckner, president
of the New York Clearing House
Association. He is chairman of
the POOLS organization commit
tee appointed by Governor Har-
rison of the Federal Reserve
Bank.
Final details of the plan we're
mailed last night to the nations
clearing house associations. Banks
are asked to subscribe to the de-
bentureS in an amount equal to
2 per cent of their net time and
demand deposits. The other half
of the $1,OOO,O 100000 may be
raised later.
Aim Is to Help Banks
The aim of the corporation will
be to lend funds to banks or
banking associations ON conditions
determined by the board of di-
rectorS. Sound banking assets
legally ineligible for rediscOunt
by Federal Reserve banks will
be discounted.
However, an announcement
made it clear banks were not
to have the privilege of applying
for cash from the corporation
except in emergencies.
The personnel of the directo-
rate and executive officers was
to be made public today.
In part the plan said:
ut is contemplated that one
or more groups or associations
of banks will be set up in
every Federal Reserve district.
Each group or association will
be composed of the subscribing
banks with the area covered.
Each director of the corpO,
ration is to undertake the re-
SpOnsibility of organizing the
groups or associations within
his Federal reserve district.
Each such group or aSSocia-
tiOn is to have its own loan
committee, which is to pass
upon the loans requested by
any Of its members and upon
the security thereof"

CAP!ONE LETTER
IN HANDS Of
THE JURY
U. S. Deals New Blow to Gang
Chief; Captain Elmer Irey
Washington, Takes Stand

FEDERAL BUILDING, CHI
CAGO, Oct 8 GN.S).-Al Capone
sustained another crushing blow
in court today at his trial for
income tax violation when Fed
eral Judge James H. Wilkerson
ruled that Government exhibit
No. g." known as the "Mattingly
letter." could be read to the jury.
Immediately after the Judge
made this ruling, Attorney Samuel
G. CIawsOn read the cOmmunica-
ton to the jurors. The letter,
which amounts virtually to Ca
pone's confession of guilt, is said
to be the crux Of the Govern
ment's case upon which they
hope to send the gang chieftain
to prison for a long term-pos-
sibly 80 years.
Income Of $266,0OO
In the letter, Capone admits
he has failed to file income tax
returns and is indebted to the
Government on an income of
$3.50, 900.
The letter, written by Lawrence
P. Mattingly, an income tax ex-
pert Of Washington, D. c., on Sep
tember 20, 1880, to c. w. Herrick,
chief internal revenue agent in
Chicago, gave an estimate of Ca
pone's wealth, and stated that
Capone was desirous of settling
his debt with the Government on
the basis of this estimate. Mat
tingly had been given power of
attorney by Capone.
Judge WilkerSOn, after citing
legal authorities, OverruIed the
objections Of the defense to the
reading Of the new famous Mat
tingly letter to the jury.
The Judge made one reserva.
tiOn, however. He ruled that "the
reference to bOdyguardS" in the
letter must be omitted during the
reading.
Capt. Trey Talks
After the Mattingly letter was
read to the jury, the first witness
of the day, Capt. Elmer L. Trey,
Of Washington, chief of the in.
telIigence unit of the Revenue
Bureau, was called.
Trey told of a conference in
Washington on May %, 1880, at
tended by himself, Mattingly end
Robert H. Lucas, then commits.
sioner Of internal revenue.
Trey said there were regulations
that provided for compromises
IN tax cases, but he did not
recognize the conference as an
attempt to compromise Capone's
case by Mattingly.

Hoover he opposed further con-

At the time the President pro

declares, only war and chaos can

There is not enough money in

It is Senator Borah's position
that it is not American war debts
that are destroying Europe. These

to only II billion dollars spread

is the increasingly crushing and
sinister burden of ornaments and
