MEDAL|E HOLDS
PUBLIC FAITH
SHATTERED
Summation to Jury Asks Guilty
Verdict to Bolster Con-
fidence of People.

NEW YORK, June 20 0.N.S0. .
United States Attorney George q.
Medalie asked the jury today at
the income tax evasion trial OF
Charles E. Mitchell to convict the
former head of the National City
Bank in order to uphold public
confidence in "our political and
economic organization" He de-
clared:
"If a public example shows
there is a defiance of law, OF
morals, and if such a defiance
remains unpunishable, conf
dence in our political and eco
nOmic organization would col
lapse.
. "Not every man who holds
high office in the business or
the banking world is under sus-
piciOn or prosecution. But when
one of them betrayS the conf
dence repOsed in him, the last
thing he has to say, either
morally or in good sportsman
ship, is that he has been singled
out as the object Of persecu-
ton"
The Government charges two
sales of stock by Mitchell, includ-
ing one to his wife. were both fictl-
tious. A loss of millions was
claimed by Mitchell. Further
more, Mitchell omitted $666,666
he received from the manage
ment fund" of the National City
Company. the Government al
leges, and charges this amount
was Income" The defense
claims it was IAN advance"
DerideS Sacrifice"
The defendant testified he re-
ceived legal advice approving all
his omissions and reductions from
income tax returns. Medalle
said:
"If the defendant devised
schemes to escape his burden
and thereby shift the burden to
others, he didn't fool himself
even if he befuddIed his law
yers."
The prosecutor attacked the
claim of the defense that Mitch.
ell had sacrificed his personal
fortune to pay the price OF
National City Bank stock and
save the financial institution he
headed. :,
Hitting the claim of Mitchell
that on October 2g, 1929. the day
of the big toboggan ride on the
stock market, he had sunk his
entire private securities with j.
P, Morgan & Co. for a $4,000, 900
loan to support the bank stock,
Medalie said:
"Why did Mitchell alone
have to save the National City
Company? Where we're the
other wealthy directors in this
crisis? Percy Rockefeller wasn't
a poor man; Gerard SwOpe
hadn't lost his millions; James
Stillman wasn't pauper."
DEAL A SHAM"'
Medalie pictured Mitchell as
making the loan on October 20,
1929, to buy stock "to make a
personal profit
The prosecutor took up the
sale of 1890 shares of National
City Bank stock on December 20,
1929, by Michel to his wife. He
claimed a loss of $2,800,000 on
the transaction. He bought the
stock back in 1882. Medalie
charged:
Il have no doubt that the
transaction between the
Mitchells was a sham and, a
pretense in order to skin the
Government of the United
States"
"If a man is not brought
to arraignment on such an
obvious subterfuge then the
machinery of government has
collapsed"
Mitchell. during the govern
ment attorneys indictment of
him, sat with bowed head facing
the jury. AS the prosecution
warmed up, he turned his back
on the jury and occupied himself
scanning documents on counselS
table.

PAID RANSOM
Identifies Cyril Buck and
Narrates Rendezvous With
Masked Mystery Figure

BARNSTABLE, Mass, June 20
GN.SO.-A vivid description Of
how he paid over 100000 to the
kidnapers of his 10-year-old daugh.
ter, Peggy, in a dimly-lit boat
anchored in Wychmere harbor on
the night of May 4 was given
from the stand today by Neil C.
McMath, father of the abducted
child at the trial of Kenneth and
Cyril Buck.
McMath told how Cyril Buck,
who had been aiding as contact
man, had brought a masked"
figure" aboard the boat in the
dead of the night, and how. in
the eerie light of the cabin he
had negotiated for the return Of
his child who then had been miss
ing so hours.
Masked Figure Mum
The masked figure" exercising
extreme caution, did not talk. In
stead he wrote notes to McMath.
After considerable dickering, Nc
Math produced $4,000, all he had
been able to raise. The masked
man said $4,000 was to 60 to the
kidnapers, $4,000 to himself, be-
cause he was only a contact
man." and $4,000 to Cyril as his
cut" Cyril, however. refused to
accept the $4,000. The masked
figure" thought Cyril was "a sap
for doing this.
A mask was put on McMath.
He was driven over lonely and
winding roads. The car stopped
twice. After the second stop he
heard a voice. 1t was the voice of
Peggy. She was being brought to
the car by the masked figure"
She had been prisoner for two
days and two nights in a lonely
vacant house in Harwichport.

and sent his haunted eyes straight
into the eyes of the avid, peering
throng. He took it standing;
took it bravely, grimly. Buffing-
ton said:

It's a fine red line that looks
like an old scar.
Will all the testimony against
Lamson be equally unsubstantial?
Lamson has been called stony
a sphinx perhaps he is, if a sphinx
is muted with grief. If David
Lamson is guilty, he is an iron
man, who does not finch even
when held for a trial that may
take away his life. If he is
innocent he is the bravest and the
most stricken human thing any
one could ever see. His face tells
the most consummate woe. II
Leonardo 'ished to paint a mans
eyes that would haunt the world
with the mystery of pain as Mona
Lisa's haunt it with the mystery
of lure, he would paint David
Lamson as he went back to his
cell under the water tank in the
ancient Jail here to spend the
summer and to wait until it shall
be judged if he has a right to live.

WAR VETS FEEL

BERLIN, June 20 GN.S0.
Believed paving the way for ex-
pulsion of Nationalists from the
Hitler government, the Nazis to-
day launched a sweeping drive
against the Steel Helmet League,
Nationalist organization of Ger
man war veterans.
Numerous Steel Helmet and Ma
tionalist fighting front posts"
were raided and closed, while
their leaders were arrested on
charges # unfriendly utterances
against Chancellor Hitler.
The drive was linked up with
the memorandum presented to
the World Economic Conference
by DR.. Alfred Hus enberg, minister
of economics and agriculture and
leader of the Nationalist party, in
which he demanded the world
recognize Germany's right to
colonial expansion.
Profiting by the fact that
Hugenberg undoubtedly under
mined his own position with this
memorandum, the NaziS redoubled
their efforts to break up his
party's organization throughout
the country.

DRYS AWAITING
3.2BEERT TEST

A case which will furnish a
test of the constitutionality of
the 80 per cent beer law in the
Supreme Court is not yet in
sight, dry leaders agreed today.
Some congressional experts on
the Federal beer law maintain it
is so drawn that it cannot be
tested, but DR.. F. Scott Mcbride,
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League. declared flatly there
will be a case"
The 80 per cent beer law has
been attacked in the courts in
several States. While attorneys
for dry organizations have not
made a detailed study of these
cases! they have seen none as yet
on which they would be willing
to go into the nations highest
tribunal.
The stumbling block for dry
forces is that the department of
Justice controls prosecutions in
Federal courts, and since it is
proceeding on the basis that the
law is valid, district attorneys
are not expected to furnish a
test case.
Some dry leaders do not want
to rush a case. They profess
to believe the beer law will
retard the repeal fight.

The bomb that was expected to
blow to bits LamSon's claim of in
nocence was Buffington's testi-
mony. 1t proved the veriest fire
cracker. When the sheriff stepped
down from the stand the
Freudian motive of frustrated
love had all but vanished-no
premeditation was established
and the evidence did not point
inevitably to Lamson.
Glimmer of Smile
No wonder the defendant looked
out on the sunny world with the
first faint glimmer of a smile his
young suffering face has shown.

that last day. One that set every

Behind closed doors Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Joseph
B. Eastman, Federal coordinator
of transportation, today went
into conference with group of
railroad executives regarding the
railroad wage situation.
Later in the day he will con-
fer with the representatives of
the 81 standard railroad labor
unions.
Eastman said he was acting
entirely unofficially and not in
his capacity as coordinator as
the law gives him no authority
over wage controversies. His ac-
tion, he said, in meeting the two
opposing groups was in the hope
of promoting results which will
be in the general public in
terest."
