CUMBERLAND, Md, December g.
The western delegation Of the radical
marchers who halted here last night had
to be driven from the city this morning
by police and faced very bad weather
conditions on the mountains between
here and Pittsburgh. Many were afraid
that the trucks would ut be able to ne
eotiate the slusli-covered mountain
roads, but all but one vehicle which was
broken down, got away about 8 o'clock.
The marchers asked the city to let
them remain here but were told by the
police that they would have TO get out.
A delegation then asked for transporta-
tion to Pittsburgh by train, but B. 81 O.
railroad ofiiciaIs said they could not
handle them free and the city said 1t
had no funds to provide them train.
The police started at o'clock this
morning to prod them and told them to
get out, A large supply OF tear gas was
kept en- hand for immediate use, but
was not needed.
The young girl leaders In the con-
tinRent, who made talks last night, con-
tended that the march was grea. VIC
tory anyway as they had forced the
capitalistic cities through which they
went TO take care of them. They said,
however. that the best meal given them
on the entire trip was that provided BY

Between calls by members Of Con-

which he expects to complete by to-
morrow.
White House officials were uncertain,
however, whether the Chief Executive

Immediately or delay delivery until Fri

It will deal with the Presidents mora
torium on German reparations and IN
tergovernmeutal debts. 1t probably will
discuss also the Manchurian troubles
and the World Court.
Congressional approval Of the mora
torium Is regarded as foregone con-
clusion since Mr.. Hoover pledged lead

The Chief Executive conferred this
morning with Ogden Mills, Undersecre-
tary Of the Treasury, who aided In

SWEENEY MURDER
CASE GOES TO JURY
Twelve Men Hold Fate oil
Confessed Slayer of
Tally Day.

The case OF Elmer J. Sweeney, charged
with first degree murder in the Staying
OF Tailey Day, went to a jury In District
Supreme Court at 1880 O'Clock this
afternoon.
Judge James M. Proctor charges the
jury on first degree murder, secorl de-
gree murder and manslaughter. He
pointed out the defendant might be
acquitted should the jury decide he
killed Day in self-defense.
Should Sweeney be convicted as
charged, death sentence would be
mandatory, under the law. James r.
kirkland, an assistant United States
attorney, made no request, however, for
SUCH punishment. In his review OF the
case for the jury. e~ta. s,1
Says Shooting Designed.
The prosecutor coritended one Andy
Gump," friend Of Sweeney, "acted
with design" when he threw a gin
buck" into Days face just before the
fatal shooting in an M street speak
Easy. Kirkland insinuated that "Gump"
1nsulted Day with the deliberate pur-
pose OF inspiring him to draw q pistol
ana give Sweeney an excuse to kill him.
Citing the testimony OF witnesses
that the bullet which caused Days
death entered his right temple ana
took course from right to left to the
back Of his head, Kirkland said this
showed that Day was not looking at
Sweeney when he was fred upon by
Sweeney and WAS not endanserine
Sweeney's life. Kirkland insisted Day
instead was shooting at "Gump" and
had no intention Of harming Sweeney.
Careful Study Asked.
"On these facts, / ask you to weish
carefully all the evidence you have
heard In this case" the prosecutor
concluded.
Bertrand Emerson, jr., defense attor-
ney, said testimony offered by Govern
ment witnesses showed that Sweeney
shot Day In self-defense. He added
that there had been no controversy over
whether the Government witnesses told
the same stories Immediately after the
shooting that they gave at the trial. He
offered this in support Of his theory
that the prosecution witnesses told
nothing but facts, which facts prove
the innocence Of Sweeney"
"Mr. Kirkland" he said, ASKS you to
convict Sweeney on the testimony of
witnesses who by their testimony say
he is innocent. Do you honestly be-
lieve Sweeney was in danger of death
or bodily harm? II so, he was perfect
ly justified in taking the life Of Talley
