band of Barbara Stanwyck, actress,
will not be prosecuted on a charge
of driving while intoxicated be-
cause the only two witnesses in the
case have departed for their homes
in San Francisco, the district at
torney's office announced today.
Fay's automobile collided with a
car driven by Mrs. Donald Y. La
mont. who had Mrs. Roger Hayne
as a passenger.
Detectives who investigated in
formed the district attorney that
Mrs. Lamont and Mrs. Hayne de-
clared they would not appear as
witnesses against Fay because they
did not care to be involved in a
criminal prosecution.
Officers said they would seek a
complaint charging Fay with reck-
less driving.

LIBBY HOLMAN'S
LAWYERS ASSERT
SMITH SUICIDE

WINSTON SALEM, N. c., Sept
2. UR-Defense counsel for Libby
Holman and Alb Walker, charged
with the fatal shooting of her hus-
band, Smith Reynolds, contended
today that findings of an examina-
ton of Smiths body on August %
proved conclusively his death was
a case of suicide.
The exhumation occurred at mid
night the body being removed from
a local cemetery and carried to an
undertaking establishment for eX-
animation. The same night it was
reinterred. That was disclosed in
a report filed in Forsyth county
superior court.
Bennett Polikoff, chief of defense
counsel for the indicted pair, said
he had been informed of the in
tended exhumation, but declined to
take any part or to be present. The
defense, he said, was satisfied with
findings of DR.. Fred HaneS the
latter testified to at an inquest into
Smiths death.
Polikoff said powder burns were
on Smiths skull bone, instead of
on the outside of the head with the
skull bone cracked, the fisSure rang
ing down toward the eye. This,
Polikoff contended, tended to prove
almost conclusively, in his opinion,
that Smith committed suicide.

LOS ANGELES, Sept 2. UP)-
Plans of the county board of super
visors to borrow S10,000,000 from
the Reconstruction Finance Corpor-
alton to be used for welfare work
and unemployment relief, received

WALKER SEEKS VINDICATION
BY VOTES OF NEW WORKERS

him with acting as "a prosecutor
although the law requires that he
be coldly neutral and IAN
impartial judge"
With a hint OF the sarcasm for
which he is noted, the mayor said
the governor had permitted ques-
tions and answers that even a first
year law student would recognize
were not permissible.
In defense of his activities as
Mayor Walker set forth:
1t was believed the five men
soon would be granted a new trial
before a jury in an ordinary law
court, rather than in one of the
special anti-terrorist courts.
Announcement of the death sem
tences precipitated furious dem
onstration by Hitlerites in Beuthen
1t brought violent condemnation
of the governments tactics from
Hitler himself.
Before denouncing the sentences
however, the Nazi leader sent a
personal emissary to Chancellor
Franz Won Papen, asking that the
sentences be committed.
The five Hitlerites were the first
to be given the death penalty under
the new law. They were con-
victed IL days after they had killed
a Communist and their only de-
fense was that they had beer
drinking.
l. That not one witness has test
flied to any act that was influenced
by dishonest consideration.
2. That not one witness has testi-
fled that he sought or received any
money, or anything, as considera-
ton for any official act.
3. That not one witness has test
flied that he did anything .
injuriously affecting the city OF
New York or its citizens.
4. That not one witness has
testified that he caused the
loss of a single dollar to the people
of the city of New York.
Shall I permit myself to be
lynched to satisfy prejudice or po-
litical ambition?' the mayor asked
Il have met my accusers and dis
proved their charges. I have met
Mr.. Seabury and answered his ev-
cry question . why, then, continue
where there is another forum oper
to me? To that forum, the people
of the city of New York, I leave
my case"
Walkers resignation, received al
1920 p. m. last night at the offics
of City Clerk Cruise, terminated
his possession of the chief magis-
tracy of the city of New York
From the moment it was filed with
the city clerk, Joseph v. Mckee be-
came mayor and his every Official
act became valid.

Guilty" Says Seabury
Fifteen charges had been levelled
against Mayor Walker as an out
growth of the Hofstadter legislative
committees investigation into his
operations as mayor of New York.
They involved alleged acceptance of
stocks and money for allegedly i'm
proper considerations, which, how
ever Walker denied; and unex-
planned accounts of his alleged bus
mess agent showing a million dol
lars in deposits.
Seabury said today that Walkers
resignation in the face of those
charges was equivalent to e con-
fession of guilt"
Roosevelt had ordered the mayor
to trial on Seabury's findings, and
for - days the dispute had ragged in
the hearing room at the state cap
itol.
Throughout the trial, Walkers
counsel, John j. Curtin, had been
oyerruled by Governor Roosevelt.
And, taking the question of his
constitutional rights to the courts
for a decision, on the plea that he
was not afforded a fair trial, the
mayors forces again were defeated.
A physical breakdown at that
juncture also played a part in the
A 1xxrnN frnI
never robust, the mayor suffered
partial collapse this week when his
brother, George F. Walker, died.
The mayor was mysteriously abb
sent from his luxurious apartment
at the Mayfair hotel until 10 a. m,
then suddenly reappeared, haggard
and worn, to tell waiting reporters
that a statement would be issued
at city hall.
It's theme was single note
the unfairness of the governors
trial. The mayor characterized this
trial as an extraordinary inquis-
ition." 1t was, he said, "a mock
trial, a proceeding in comparison
to which even the practice of
drumhead court martial seemed lib
eral."
Charges Unfairness
The statement continued that
Walker had been advised that 80
far as courts are concerned at pres
ent, 1 must submit to being out
ragged by the unlawful acts of the
governor" and that he has mo
remedy at the present time in the
courts"
This indefensible and lawless
purpose of the governor" he con-
tinued, has revealed itself through
the hearing E. he has not called
upon the accusers, particularly Mr.
Seabury, to provide any supporting
proof"
Walker characterized the COVER
nor as "Studiously unfair, charged

REVIVAL IN BUILDING.
INDUSTRY PLANNED
Contractors Plan to Push Program
of Encouraging Projects Which
Are Self-Liquidating.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
All the forces of the Associated Cen
eral Contra ctors of America are aligned
in a campaign to have the country take
full advantage of the provisions of the
emergency relief act to assure the full
est measure of relief intended.
The various executive departments
of the association. which Is comprised
of all factions of the construction in
dustry, will meet in Washington prior
to the parleys of the Construction
League of the United States, on Octo-
Der IL, and the general assembly of
the national conference on construc-
ton which is scheduled to take place
on the following day. The Contractors
Association is a member Of both these
councils and has been a steadfast ad-
vocate of a national construction pro-
gram as the only means available at
this time to create employment, de-
yelop purchasing power and revive in
duStry.
The emergency relief and construc-
ton act will go for naught." the as
sociation declares, unless the Stat
and local communities fully avail them
selves of its construction provisions and
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton acts promptly upon applications
for loans so that en- adequate self
lquidating construction program may
be under way before Winter. We are
now devoting our full energies to this
end, so that there may lie definite and
early relief for unemployment and busi-
ness"
The local branches and chapters of
the Associated General Contractors
have been active since passage of the
relief act III encouraging through the
National Committee on Trade Recovery
the immediate undertaking OF all
worthy self-hquidating construction
projects contemplated IN the act. The
closer coordination and intensifica-
ton of this activity will constitute one
of the principal topics of discussion at
ings.
