buck CONFESSION
BARRED BY JUDGE
Detectives Remarks Cause
Decision in kidnapping of
McMath Child.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BARNSTABLE, Mass, June IA
The defense IN the trial OF Kenneth
Buck, charged with the kidnapping Of
Margaret peggy McMath, gained its
first advantage today when an alleged
second confession was declared mad
missable as evidence.
In preliminary hearing yester-
day two alleged confessions had been
given the court. In the first Kenneth
had referred to mysterious Bill" who
he said had directed his activities in
the kidnapping. The second was re-
ceived from Kenneth short time after
the first
Judge Edward F. Hanify ruled that.
because of certain remarks of State
Detective Michael Barrett to Kenneth
during the close Of the latter's first
admissions, all that was said by the
accused afterward was inadmissable.
The judge quoted excerpts from the
alleged first confession, in which Bar
rett was alleged to have said to Ken
meth, Lets have little common sense.
Your brother told on you and in tell
ing on you, is really going to be your
best friend. You can do yourself no
harm by telling the whole story"
The preliminary hearing was then
concluded. The jury was summoned
back to the court room and the trial
went on. District Attorney william C.
Crossley previously had said that state
ments had been received from Kenneth
Buck, who is on trial with his brother,
Cyril, for the abduction, on four distinct
occasions. He indicated all of these
statements would be submitted.
Elias Burwick, Bucks attorney, indi-
Gated that as last resort he would
send his client to the witness stand to
tell how the confessions were procured.
The ,McMath child was taken from
the Harwich Center Grammar School
on May 2. to be returned for $50 900
ransom three days later. The ransom
was recovered in Kenneth's home, Ken.
meth having been arrested through ins
formation received from his brother.
Cyril, who acted as intermediary.
State Detective Bradford then took
the stand and related what transpired
on the base ship at Woods Hole the
night OF the day on which the child
was found on the boat Bob at Tars
wichport.
He told how he finally induced Gym
to write the name of the Hooded
Man" on q sheet Of paper and that
the name given was Kenneth Buck.
Bradford said than on Kenneth,S
request he went to the home Of Nell
G: McMath, father Of the child, with
him.
Kenneth, Bradford said, wished to
have McMath corroborate his state
ment that on the boat Bob McMath
had promised him $4,000 for acting
as contract man" with the kidnapv
ers. It was the first time McMath
met the alleged kidnaper without the
latter being hooded
McMath, Bradford testified, looked
at Kenneth and said: "I don't think
any promise made to you is binding,
You have put me and my family II
q bad position which it win take us
Is years to live down."

position to cut expenditures and par
ticularly TO cut the compensation Of
the veterans.
Supporters Of more liberal veterans
compensation legislation who refuse tc
accept the Presidents compromise, as
provided in the House amendment to
the Connally amendment, today were
faced with the prospect of losing out ali
along the line unless they finally yield
ed to the President.
When the veterans controversy was
resumed this morning, charges of buck
passing" were raised with leaders In
dispute as to which branch of Congress
should act first.
House Democratic leaders contended
their branch already had gone on rec
ord for the Roosevelt compromise and
that 1t was up to the Senate to vote
either for or against the Connally or
Steiwer- Cutting amendment.
Senate leaders maintained the House
should vote again.
Representative Byrns Of Tennessee,
the Democratic leader, said "the House
already has gone up against it, and
the Senate Is trying to pass the buck
back to the House for another vote SO
they can say the House knocked out
the Connally amendment"
1T looks like the Senate Is looking for
q storm cellar as usual Byrns told re-
porters.
Unable to agree on whether to add
to the supply bill $l,000,000 for hos
pitalization Of veterans, regardless of
the origin of their ailments, the con-
ferees earlier had decided to let the
House vote on the question.
Senator Byrnes, in charge Of the SEN
atorial group, said this course was de-
cided upon because House spokesman
refused to accept the Senate's addition
of the 100000 fund on the ground it
was adding legislation to an appropria-
ton bill, prohibited by parliamentary
rules.
Because the conferees previously had
eliminated this fund, the bill was sent
back to conference by the Senate last
night by 48 to 81 vote, on a motion
by Senator Black, Democrat, of Ala
bama.
The conferees, who were together only
about half hour, said they did not
discuss the broader question at issue
between the two houses, the House
administration veterans relief compro-
mise and the Senate's more liberal bro
visions.
Also to be reported in disagreement
was the amendment by Senator Dieter
ich. Democrat, of Illinois, to provide
that $1,O00,00O could be used to pay
State institutions for caring for vet
Grams suffering from neuropsychiatric
ailments, when found to be in the best
interests of the United States"
House conferees declined to accept
this provision.

ATLANTA, June IA Federal jurist
yesterday placed on shippers who haul
beer in Georgia the burden of proving
their product Is not Intoxicating.
An injunction sought by r. r. Rich
mire to restrain Sheriff E. M. Legg
Of Cobb County from selling interstate
beer in his county was denied by Fed
eral Judge E. Marvin Underwood, who
ruled the Federal beer law does not
authorize transportation Of liquors Gin
toxicating in fact" in State which pro-
hibitS such transportation.
He held that 1t is up to the shipper
to prove in any civil action that the
beer is not Intoxicating. Judge Under
wood said neither Congress nor any
State can pass any act which would
make lawful the transportation of any
intoxicating liquor anywhere In the
United States. The definition Of in
toxicating liquor, as changed by the
beer act is not binding upon the
States If such liquor of 80 per cent al
cQhol is, as matter of fact, intoxicat-
ing, nor upon Federal courts in civil
cases where the violation of the eight

PLASTERERS' PAY
RULING EXPECTED
$14-a-Day Wage Still Pend.
ing Before Labor De-
partment Board.

The wage dispute over the present
$14-a-day wage paid to plasterers on
Government buildings still is pending
before the Labor Department.
The union plasterers and contractors
have presented their claims to repre-
sentatives of the Cancellation Service
of the Department of Labor, and nego-
tiations over the whole question are
now in the hands Of this department.
George w. Lee, president of the Con-
tracing PlaSterers' Association, said his
association, which is endeavoring to cut
the scale to $40 day, is making every
effort to obtain q decision from the de-
partment, but SO far without success.
He hopes for decision soon after Con-
gress adjourns.
Cites Bids On Contracts.
The plasterers, according to promi-
nent labor leader here, maintain the
Sl4 wage scale should not be cut in the
middle of the jobs now under way be-
cause the jobs were figured on basis
of $14 a day If the scale should be
cut, he pointed out, the extra 81 would
not be returned to the Government but
would go into the pocket" of the con-
tractor.
If any contractors based their bid on
the chance that the scale might be cut
in the middle of the job, they were using
unfair" bidding against those contrac-
tors who made bids based on the pres
ent scale, union leaders say. Further
more, it is argued by labor leaders the
plasterers had obtained credit at many
stores based on prospects of work, and
now that work has been obtained the
pay scale should remain at the present
level so the plasterers may meet their
bills.
Says Bids Were Low.
On the other hand Mr.. Lee called at
tention to the intense rivalry among
bidders for the seven Government build
ings concerned, and claimed every con-
tractor took into consideration an ap-
parent falling labor market and shaved
bids accordingly in order to land work
for the men. IF We had to pay q wage
of $14 day, every contractor would lose
money on these contracts" Mr. Lee said
''The closeness of our bids is indicated
by the fact the seven buildings are be-
Ing erected at several millions less than
was appropriated for them by Con-
gress"
Mr.. Lee again reiterated his state
ment that the fixing of plasterers' wages
at $l4 day would stif1e private build
ing in Washington at time when it is
just beginning to take on new life."
