Famous Detective Grilled
on Witness Stand at
Hoaxer'S Trial.
gV United Press

BU Hifcd Press
PENNINGTON, N. j., July l.
With Harry d. Walsh, one of the
countrys most famous detectives,
souirming and uncomfortable in
the witness chair, counsel for John
Hughes Curtis. Norfolk shipbuilder,
today undertook to prove that their
client was subjected to the third
degree while staying at the Hope
we'll home of Colonel Charles A..
Lindbergh.
Curtis is on trial charged with
obstructing justice by telling false
stories of negotiations with the kid
napers and murderers of Lind
bereh's infant son. He confessed,
but has since repudiated the con-
fession.
The intensely dramatic moment
when Curtis stood before Colonel
Lindbergh and admitted that he
had lied was described by Walsh.
Curtis asked me to get Colonel
Iindbergh and we went into the
dining ROOM Walsh said. He ex-
planned to Colonel Lindbergh the
fact that he didn't see the ransom
money and didn't check any Of the
bills.
"Iindbergh asked him Why he
had lied. He made some reply.
"eHere's another lie, Colonel
Lindbergh said. Curtis still in
sisted he had been in contact with
the kidnapers.
Then Colonel Lindbergh, in a
more or less disguised manner, left
the dining room"
Called Him Back
walsh obtained Curtis partial
confession in writing, He said he
was leaving the room when Curtis
called him back.
Get me a typewriter. I'll write
my own story"
This must be voluntary" Walsh
quoted himself. He got Curtis the
typewriter and Curtis pounded out
a full confession, he said.
Walsh passed from the friendly
hands of the prosecutor, into a
severe cross-examination by Lloyd
Fisher. defense counsel. He was
forced to admit that Curtis slept
in the cellar and that he was de
tanned" at the Lindbergh home for
Ave DAYS. He denied that Curtis
was confined to the cellar or that
he was tortured with the clothing
and toys of the Lindbergh baby.
The state rested its case after
Fishers grueling cross-examination.
Walsh. no stranger to courtrooms
and trials, like Fisher, made OBJ
vious plays to the audience.
When asked if he had promised
Curtis to keep his confession sec
ret. he declared dramatically:
Il said l didn't know. and that
anything that might happen to him
would be small payment for what
he had done to Colonel Lindbergh."
The packed courtroom applauded.
Clashes With Attorney
Walsh. who gained nationwide
repute as a detective on the Hall
Mills Case, Was A. AllCAANhS NNeAiOSo
under the tutelage Of prosecution
questioning. but became truculent
and defensive when Fisher ques-
toned him.
He forced Walsh to admit that
Curtis was detained" at the Lind
bergh home from May 10 to Is,
when he was arrested formally.
Walsh was called after a sue
cesSion of minr police figures in the
investigation had testified that
Curtis was not i'll treated.
He denied that he told Curtis he
could 60 home the moment he told
the truth; that he told Curtis his
only chance of getting home was to
tell the truth; that he painted
Colonel Schwarzkopf as man of
stone, who will run you down to the
ends of the earth and ruin you"

Within a few moments she was
dead. after running into the street
and being struck by a car driven
bv Herman Adkins, 10, of 1410 North

The child died in the arms of her
mother twenty minutes after the

creasingly affects their purchasing
power.
Two unfavorable influences this week
have been the delay in the passing Of
the tax bill at Washington and the
promotion of the modified Glass bank
measure. 1t is going a long ways to
say that if the former is not accepted
by Congress this country will witness
the worst panic in all the history of
the world" Perhaps some recalcitrant
Representatives can be whipped into
line by such a threat. Balancing of
the budget is essential to the recovery
in Government credit as we'll as to the
improvement in corporation securities.
There could, however, be a moderate
deficit and the country still survive.
Economy Begins at Home.
The amount of protest that follows
an effort to restore balance between
the Treasury income and outgo is sur
prising in a country with such low
Federal tax rate. Those who are prom
inent in it ought to consider the bur-
den now being carried by the citizens
of less prosperous European countries.
expenditures be controlled as that new
taxes be imposed. AS economy like
charity, begins at home. this policy
should Immediately be put into practice
among all members of the Government
family. The United States is the only
important country in the world where
the salaries of its representatives, from
the highest to the lowest, have not been
adjusted to the times. The same pro-
gram should be carried out by all
municipal and State governments.
The emergence of the Glass bill, even
with some of its original features elm
mated, has produced a chill in the
banking world, where it is felt that the
enactment of such a measure would
deeply disturb the banking situation.
1t seems rather unfortunate to have in
jected into the situation controversial
banking question after the recent pas
sage of law that accommodates itself
to conditions of an emergency char
acter A Congress andaa PRESIDENT that
approved the Glass-Steagan bib for its
aid in the credit crisis could not con-
sistently adopt the new Glass measure
with its present recommendations.

STOCKS FLUCTUATE
IN DRAGGY MARKET.
Week End Short Covering
Offsets SeIIing-DecIines
Mostly Fractional.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, March 19.-The stock
market was caught between conflicting
influences today and was unable to make
Roadway IN either direction,
The bitter fight in Congress over the
tax measure. resulting in House approval
OF the old wartime surcharges on large
incomes, brought considerable uneaSi-
ness to financial quarters. This was
counterbalanced as a market factor,
however, by President Hoovers reassur-
ing statement on the railroads.
The market was inclined to heavineSs
At times, but there appeared TO be
enough week end short covering to abb
sorb the selling, and most net changes
were limited to small fractions The
market was fairly steady at the close,
with a few issues off a point or so, in
GLIDING U. S. Steel, American Telephone,
International Harvester Utilities Power
& Light "a" Santa Fe, Borden and

Kreuger g. Toll.
Kreuger & Toll was the outstanding
feature of the session. News from
Stockholm that the management had
requested suspension of trading brought
a furry of selling, and the issue dropped
to low price of l, and closed at IA,
off Z. This issue traded in blocks of
5000 to $4,000 shares, and accounted
for roughly half the days turnover in
the stock market of around 100000
shares.
The stock market held up relatively
well, in the opinion of most brokerage
quarters, in view of the slump in lead
ing commodity markets following news
OF the Farm Boards plan to dispose
of holdings abroad. Even the COM
modities met support, however notably
cotton, which closed virtually I'M
changed, after an early sag.
The week end trade and industrial
news was again colorleSS, failing to offer
any encouragement to those looking for
a Spring pickup in general activity
Estimates Of steel operations for the
Youngstown area next week are about
26 per cent of capacity, against 81
per cent this week.
1t was notable that special selling of
the sort encountered in yesterdays
market was lacking The utility issues
generally steadied with the notable ex-
ception Of the electric power and light
preferred issues, which broke a few
points.
Exchanges Irregular.
The Kreuger g. Toll situation was
rather confusing. The request to
suspend trading came at time when
Wall Street thought that the emergency
was past. The Stock Exchange main
tanned complete silence on the matter,
although it was intimated that some
action might be taken next week.
Foreign exchanges were irregularly
higher, with fresh strength on the
pound sterling notable. This currency
ruled at s3641a for cables, up about a
cent. The Scandinavians were also
firm.

BOSTON, March 19.-The petroleum
industry is making Roadway in cor

Business Service in its current report.
Reduced demand is being met with re-
duced output. Daily average produc-
ton of crude oil has declined slowly but
steadily since the first of the year. The
situation is also helped by the fact that
during the last tive weeks stocks of
gasoline at refineries have stabilized
around 45.7 million barrels. They had
previously increased at rapid rate.
