Accused Lawyer Exchanges
Charges With Former
Client on Stand.
ATTITUDE OF EACH
is OPENLY HOSTILE
Convicted Head of F. H. Smith Co.
Frequently Refuses to Answer
in Cross-Examination.

The unusual spectacle of an attorney
and his former client calling each other
liars" was staged in District Supreme
Court today as Frank G. Raichle, young
lawyer on trial on perjury charges,
sought to show G. Bryan Pitts had been
induced to testify against him after re-
ceiving promises of special favors from
the Department of Justice.
Pitts, former head of the F. H. Smith
Co., was convicted some time ago of
conspiring to embezzle $1,000 900 from
the company he controlled. Raichle, a
law partner Of former Assistant Attor-
ney General William j. Donovan. was
one of the defense attorneys in the trial
of that case.
During that trial, rumber Of au-
thorizations purporting to show Pitts
was entitled to money he was accused
Of stealing were introduced by the de-
fense. The Government now claims
that these documents were spurious and
Ra.chle Is on trial for anegedly per-
suading Pitts to testify falsely concern
ing them.
Raichle Cross-Examines Pitts.
When his trial was resumed this
morning, Raichle personally undertook
cross -exa mination of Pitts, the man he
defended a year and half ago.
When you testified during your trial
in December, 1880, you did so to escape
jail, didn't you?" Raichle asked.
Yes" Pitts answered.
And you lied?"
Yes, under your direction"
How many lies did you tell?"
You ought to know better than l."
What is your best recollection"
Il don't consider that I was lying at
all. I think you were doing the lying"
Raichle then began examining Pitts
concerning visits he has made to the
Justice Department since being con-
victed of the conspiracy charge and
sentenced to IA years in the peniten-
tiary.
Have you at any time been given
office space at the Justice Department
since you went to Jail to prepare your
defense in income tax proceedings
brought against you by the Govern
ment?"
None Of your business" Pitts
answered.
Replies In Negative.
The court then instructed Pitts to
oA1oWCl lAAC daCSsAoAA cAA AAS ASFAASA A4A
the negative.
Are you lying now in an effort to get
cut of jail?" Raichle inquired
After an argument as to whether
Pitts should be required to answer,
Raichle withdrew the question.
He then examined Pitts concerning
an alleged conversation early this year
with Robert /. Miller, local attorney
Did you tell Mr.. Miller you were
going to testify against me so you could
60 to Lorton Reformatory and get
good job instead of being sent to Atlanta
or Leavenworth Penitentiary?"
NO"
did YOU tell Mr.. Miller the Govern
ment had promised to recommend you
for a parole after one-third Of your
sentence had been served if you would
testify?"
No
Dozier De Vane, now representing
Pitts in other matters. appealed to the
court at this point, saying Pitts was
being examined about matters which
came under the head of confidential
relations between attorney and client.
After some argument as to whether
Miller was actually Pitts attorney at

GERMANY OFFERS ALLIANCE.
Won Papen Proposes Military Treaty
to Assuage French Fears.

Won Papen Proposes Military Treaty
to Assuage French Fears.
Copyright. 1882 by the Associated PressD
LAUSANNE. Switzerland, June 23-
Chancellor Franz Won Papen of Ger
many today proposed privately a mill
tary alliance between France and Ger
many as a means of meeting France S
demand for security before disarmament.
Such an alliance, which would
represent the lion and the lamb lying
down together in the field of European
military affairs, would, he said. be the
best way of solving the problems which
face the Disarmament Conference as
a result of the French fear of invasion
and their security plea.
Speaking English, with a pronounced
American accent-ne was a German
agent in the United States in the early
years of the World War-the graying
chancellor added that he was unable
to understand the French security pleas
but that he intended to do everything in
his power to foster collaboration be-
tween the two countries.
Prepared Economic Pact.
1t was he who prepared the mem
orandum on economic collaboration
which was presented yesterday to Prime
Minister Macdonald of Great Britain
by Baron Won Neurath. German foreign
minister. The memorandum proposed
a fve-year consultative economic pact
It summarized the reasons why Ger

reparations payments and suggested
that all the countries at the conference
here agree for five years to take no
steps likely to harm the trade of others
without consulting all the other
signatories to the pact.
This suggestion, the chancellor said
he believed, fits Premier Herriot's
notions of continental business recon-
struction.
He said he had sounded the views Of
other statesmen on his suggestion OF a
military alliance with France, but did
not reveal their reaction to the plan.
Asked whether he had the plan
worked out in detail he answered:
If I did I could not now reveal the
details"
But, he said, If the pacts of Paris
and Locarno and the Rhineland guar
antee are not sufficient assurances of
security for the French, then the
welding of the two armies, by suitable
formula, should allay Frances fears
and permit solutions of the now SEEM
ingly insoluable problems of disarma-
ment as well as the riddles of Central
Europe.
British Terms Conciliatory.
Acceptance of such an alliance by
France, he said, would have far-reach-
ing results.
The British memorandum on debts,
prepared for presentation to the con-
ference, is conciliatory and not dras-
tically divergent from the French view,
responsible member of the French
delegation said today.
Its principal points are a demand
for final settlement of reparations; the
assertion that Germany cannot pay for
the present, and declaration that If 1t
should be decided that Germany must
pay something later on, the amount to
be paid must not interfere with Ger
