H. Williams and James Orbison, defense alienists as witnesses to avoid delaying the trial. He said this would be out of the order of his witnesses, but on Judge Charles s.

 Leo Artman, navy chief quar- termaster who wore many gold arm stripes, was the last defense witness yesterday. He attacked Kelley's claim that the staying was premeditated by testifying a piece of rope found around the natives neck was obtained by Massie a month before the native died.
 Jones smilingly passed a note to the United Press. It read:

NAMES OF SHORT
 SELLERS IN THE MARKET HIDDEN
Prominent Politi C ians, Statesmen and Cabinet Members Believed to Be on Concealed List
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent j


 Washington, April 19 UP) = Many names of short sellers submitted to the senate banking committee by the New York Stock Exchange appear to represent dummy traders, according to some senators who have examined part of the list.
 Simultaneously countless rumors circulated that this or that promi- nent politician, statesman or cabi- net member was named in the list A senator who had read the names from "A'' to ''C'' inclusive said he found no recognizable names. All other person who had seen the record, however, said nationally known names" were in it.
 Senator Blaine, republican, Wis consin. was one, who expressed the opinion that many dummy traders may be included in the list, pos sibly to shield the identity of act ual short sellers. Blaine said he had been howled down in the com mittee recently when he proposed that the investigation be shifted from the exchange to the offices of brokers themselves.
 T shall renew that suggestion Blaine said today. II think we should take a few of the names representing large short sales = perhaps half dozen names would be enough -. and go direct to the office of the broker who handled the deal to determine who was be- hind the sale.''
 Complaint that the list includes dummy traders was not directed at the Stock Exchange which is conceded to have furnished to the committee its actual record of the positions of all traders as of the opening of business, April 8. The material was submitted in the form of moving picture reels upon which the sales orders had been photographed.
 The investigation, has been post poned until Thursday with Rich- ard Whitney, president of the New York Exchange, to continue testi- flying on that day.
 A new counsel, William A. Gray, with a bulldog chin and the abil- ity to ask questions fast and furi- ously, has entered the investiga- tion. The adjournment is to give him time to familiarize himself with the exchange records.
 In staccato set-to late yester- day, Gray and Whitney fenced and lodged through the story of how the exchange almost was forced to close when England went off the gold standard. September 2l. 1881. The exchange did not close but short selling was suspended Tor two days.
 Gray argued that this suspen- sion proved exchange officials rec ognixcd short selling ns a demoral- izlng procedure. Whitney con- tended the opposite.
 If you hadn't banned short selling there would have been. Q delugc of short sales September 2i?" Gray asked.
 "Nv slr," Whitney replied
