and Guard Solomon Higgin-
botham, of a Florida prison camp,
today awaited trial on charges Of
first degree murder in the death
Of Arthur Maillefert, 10, Of West
field, N. j., a prisoner.
Bond was granted them last
night following a hearing on a
writ Of habeaS corpus at which a
parade Of convicts testified con-
corning alleged cruelty and tor
ture at the prison camp.
Courson denied he had placed
Maillefert in the "sweat box" in
which he later was found dead,
as punishment for attempting to
escape, but merely to prevent him
from further attempts to escape.
The warden said Maillefert
had strangled himself to death
deliberately while his neck was
encased in a steel collar and
chain and his feet in wooden
stocks Of the "Sweat box" The
warden testified:
"He often begged guards to
kill him 50 he would not have

Two convicts testified Maille-
fert was brought back to camp
so weak from exposure that he
could hardly stand. He did not
have strength enough to brush

declared.

The Republican drive to modify

Cancellation Stand; Early
Position Held UnaItered

Two resolutions aim ed
against cancellation or scaling
down of European war debts
were offered today in the
Senate as an aftermath to the
$75O,OO0,O00 German repara-
tions settlement at the Lau-
same conference.
Senator McKellar CD Of Ten.
nessee offered a resolution call
ing upon President Hoover to
verify or deny press reports that
the United States has signified
its willingness to reopen the
debt question. Congress has
placed itself on record against
further reduction.
u. s. Hints Warning
Senator Gore CD Of Okla
homa sought to ascertain wheth-
er debtor nations would prefer
to turn over German colonial
possessions seized in the World
War or island possessions, in
lieu Of their debts to the United
States.
The. State Department, mean
while, issued a statement de-
claring there was mo change"
in the attitude of the United
States toward these debts.
The State Department voiced
this Governments qualification
over the signing Of the repara-
tionS accord at Lausanne, which
it characterized as "a great step
forward in the stabilization Of
the economic situation Of Eu-
rope"
''TOO Optimistic" Is Fear
It was apparent, however, that
concern was felt here lest the
European nations become too op-
timistic in their hopes for drastic
reduction of their debts in the
immediate future.
The statement of Prime Min.
lister Macdonald of Great Brit
ain, and utterances of other po-
litical '-tsderS at Lausanne, in
dicated to this Government that
q stampede was on to shift the
major burden Of reparations re-
vision on to this Government in
the form Of downward revision
Of European debts to the United
States.
,; Cancellation Stand Holds
The State Departments state
ment said:
"On the question of war debts
owing to the United States by
European governments, there is
no change i'm the attitude Of
the American government which
was clearly expressed in the
Presidents statement concern
ing the proposal for q mora
tOrium on intergOvernmental
debts June 20, last year"
Mr.. Hoover said then:
II do not approve in any
remote sense Of the cancelIa-
tiOn Of the debt to us. World

hanced by such action"
