DIRECTED VERDICT
FOR BAILEY DENIED
Judge in UrscheI kidnapping
Case OverruIes Demurrers
of All Defendants.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY. September 23-
Judge Edgar s. Vaught overruled the
first defense demurrer interposed In the
Charles s. Urschel Kidnapping case Is
court opened today.
It was the contention Of Ben Laska,
Denver attorney for Albert Bates. that
the prosecution had not established the
fact that the oil man had been moved
from Oklahoma City to Texas and held
captive. -
Laska previously had said out Of
court he knew he had no real chance
for the directed verdict Of acquittai he
asked.
But I had to make the gesture" he
told news men.
Bates was named in the Government
testimony as one Of the actual kid
naperS.
Bailey Plea Entered.
James H. Mathers, counsel for Har-
vey Bailey, then offered demurrer in
behalf of his client contending the
Government had not proved Bailey was
connected with the alleged kidnapping
conspiracy.
Bailey was captured on the Texas
farm of r. G. Shannon where Urschel
was held prisoner until he was ran
somed for 5000 O00 Government agents
have called Bailey. prison breaker and
machine gunner, the brains" Of the
abduction plot.
Criminal law says the conspiracy
ends when the victim is released" said
Mathers. Bailey was not arrested until
IL days after Mr.. Urschel was home
again"
It was the defense's first day in
court. The prosecution rested late yes
terday after four days Of constant ham
mering at the ~ defendants.
Others Enter DemurrerA
Mathers was overruled.
Seven Identical demurrers then were
submitted by attorneys for the Mime
apolis and ST. Paul defendants.
The demurrers asserted there was no
proof that the seven Twin Cities men
knew anything at all about the con-
spiracy.
The conspiracy was completed when
the victim was unlawfully seized and
transported from Oklahoma to Texas,
and there held for ransom" the de-
murrerS read.
The mere fact that this defendant
may have received any portion Of the
ransom after the victim was released
is wholly insufficient to connect him
with the conspiracy charged"
The defense for this group did not
deny that $500 of the ransom cur
rency was actually found on or con-
nected with the seven.
Meanwhile, members of all American
Legion posts in Oklahoma were ex-
horted by their service officer. c. B.
Dollarhide. to offer their facilities in
the hunt for George Kelly. fugitive
machine gunner wanted as one Of the
kidnapers. Charles NJ Colcord, early
day cattle king and peace officer sum-
moned wealthy friends to a meeting

reward for the outlaw.

Imitation Psychology Due
to Gold Action Is
Disappearing.
BY PAUL MALLON.

THE imitation psychology Of our
going off the gold standard has
at last played out.
i The big thinkers for the ad-
ministration noted 1t within the
last few days. Fluctuations OF the dol
lar abroad had absolutely no effect on
our stock and commodity markets.
They whispered that the time for cur
rency stabilization had arrived. That
is the confidential advice they gave Mr..
Roosevelt.
The Presidents threatened
clash NTH the cotton infationtSts
actually turned out to be a hand
shaking affair.
The reason was that administration
men got to the inflationiStS before their
White House call. Roosevelt spOkeSmen
whispered that he was trying to help
cotton and any public criticism would
only embarrass him.
The cotton people saw the soundness
of that argument. and avoided the in
flation subject during their call.
Often Masks Feelings.
What impressed them privately was
the Presidents good humor about the
whole economic outloo,.. They quoted
him as saying:
Things are turning out just as ex-
pected"
They do not know Mr. Roosevelt very
we'll. He frequently masks his real feel
ings behind mask Of good humor.
