ing such legislation.

States and I find that Leg.onnaires
generally are backing up their national
convention in opposition to any bonus
legislation at this time.
Willing to "PIay Ball"
"Legionnaires, as a whole, are per-
fectly willing to play ball and most
cd them who would like to see a diff
serent policy are perfectly willing to
eAt and try to bring it about in an
s<uerly way through action of some
later national convention.
Stevens said "Legi0nnaires rec -gnlze
that, as much as they would like to
have the bonus money, the Government
is just not in any position to pay 1t
right now"
There Is deficit of nearly three
billion dollars and things can't go much
further without water rising over the
gunwales." he said.

DEFENSE CLAIMS DORIAN

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug, "A, - The defense of Frank J. Egan, for mer public defender, and Albert Tinnin, at Tuesdays session struck back at the States case that Tin min or Egan murdered or ordered the murder of Mrs. Jessie Scott Hughes.
 The defense pointed out that Verne Doran, who turned States evidence, feared that he would be hanged for the commission of the crime and therefore implicated Tin min and Egan in his "confession."
 The defense for Egan attempted to prove that Doran, and Doran alone, was responsible for the death of Mrs. Hughes. Fifty wit nesses were called in by the defense to undermine the States charge that Egan ordered Mrs. Hughes to be killed. The witnesses were most ly trades-people who testified that Egan, for a long period, had paid Mrs Hughes debts out of his own pocketbook.
