BANK LIABILITY FIGHT
Is OPENED IN COURT
Washington Trust Arguments Aired
in Suit to Compel Payment.

Argument against enforcement of
the state double liability law against
stockholders of the defunct Wash
ington Bank and Trust Company
opened in superior court one today
when Judge John Kern conducted
a hearing on demurrer filed in a
suit to compel payment.
The suit. filed by Nettie and
Myrtle Peak, said to represent 1000
depositor- creditors of the bank,
alleged that assets of the receiver
ship will be $1,800,000 LEGS than
necessary to liquidate claimA
According to argument advanced
by Homer Elliott, attorney repre-
senting twenty-four stockholders
named defendants in the suit, the
statute can not be enforced legally
because the stockholders in the
bank, previous to it's failure, had
transferred their holdings to the
Washington Investors Corporation,
which controlled the majority of the
banks stock. The transfer was not
made to avoid liability, Elliott said,
but prevents enforcement of double
liability assessments.
Included among the defendants is
Mrs. lisa Morris, administrator of
the estate OF the late J. Edward
Morris, president of the bank. 1t
is alleged that Mr.. Morris held stock
amounting 20 $4,000.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Sen-
ator James E. Watson of Indiana,
lame-duck leader of the Repub-
licans, today delivered what he re-
garded as his last major speech in
the senate, calling for a progress
sive and gradual reduction Of the
armament Of the world to relieve
the burdens Of debt and taxation.
The speech was made in support
Of a resolution which he introduced,
proposing a reduction of 5 per cent
per annum for ten-year period in
expenditures for military purposes.
The plan would become effective
when agreed to by ten nations with
an aggregate population in excess
Of 0O0000,000o.
Arguing that such multilateral
agreement would re-establish con-
fldence and credit throughout the
world and do more than any other
thing to restore world prosperity
Senator Watson said:
If we but reflect momentarily, we
shall see that four words tell the
story of tie worlds great wor-

struction-debt.
Armament still is costing the
world each year well-nigh $4,000
100000. With this sum the world
could retire most Of its public debt,
whether foreign or domestic, in the
course Of few years.
The last war directly was respon-
sible for the death Of at least 90
100000 human beings. It's average
daily cost was more than $780,
100000 to the world The aggregate
direct and indirect cost exceeded
the stupen dous figure Of
$3.50 100000.
so terrible was the aftermath
Of that titantic struggle that the
nations have not been able TO lower
their obligations since fighting
ceased. So much debt, such ire
mendous outlay for something al
ready destroyed, utterly annihilated
and absolutely productive al
most has ruined the world.
1T seems to me that the solution
of all other problems can wait until
we take this first step in the prog
ressiye disarmament of the world.

If successful. it means that the
body often called the last great
forum of independent speech in the
United States" will be governed
rigidly.
It will mean that a young,
trouble-haire senator from Louis
lana has forced the senate to make
changes it Indignantly spurned
when they we're proposed by Vice
President Charles G. Dawes eight
years ago.
FiIibusterers Are Angry
Thus the dramatic duel between
the colorful "KingfiSh" and the dis
tinguished gentleman from Virginia
Senator Garter Glass-may lead
to the first major revision of SEN
ate rules in many years.
Filibusterers met the threat of
cloture with a threat to hamper
senate business IS opportunity offers
unless the gag pet ton is withdrawn.
Senator Elmer Thomas Dem,
Okla), stepped angrily to the fore
part of the chamber soon after noon
today and announced:
i want to tell the senate that so
long as this cloture petition is before
the senate, and if it is voted, there
will be no further business trans
acted by unanimous consent"
Letters and editorials denounc-
ing the senate as a do-nothing body
convince many members it is time
to overhaul the rules, although there
will be bitter opposition from pro-
greSsiveS.
Advocates Of cloture in the pres
ent instance, however, point out it
is for only the remaining seven
weeks of the present session.
Last Lame Duck Session
With the lame duck resolution
on its way to adoption by the
states, this probably will be the
last lame duck" session, and it is
this system which provided greatest
opportunities for successful fill
busters.

limited Press staff CORRESPONDENT

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 10.-Winnie
Ruth Judd, standing under the
shadow of the gallows, was called to
repeat in court today accusations
that John j. Happy jack Halloran
helped her remove from the death
scene the bodies of Agnes Ann Leroi,
and Hedvig Samuelson, their mutual
| friends.
The hazel-eyed Indiana girl,
under sentence of death Feb. II on
conviction on a charge of numbering
Mrs. Leroi, described the wealthy
local lumberman as her COM
panion-after- the-crime" in testify
ing Tuesday at his preliminary
hearing on accessory charges.
Continually interrupting her own
testimony with hysterical out
bursts, Mrs. Judd brought her story
to a climax by uttering a threat OF
suicide.
Says He Prepared Body
It came under a relentless cross
examination by Hallorans counsel,
attacking her contentious that the
lumberman prepared the bodies for
shipment to Los Angeles where she
was arrested several days later.
I'm telling you Gods truth" she
cried bitterly. Tn telling you what
I will write when 1 intend to COM
NIT suicide"
The statement dropped like a
bombshel in the crowded court
room.
Mrs. Judd faced another cross-eX-
animation today. Hallorans coun-
sci was prepared to prolong the
hearing until the end of the week,
if necessary, in an endeavor to OBJ
tain dismissal of the complaint.
During her ordeal on the stand
she awarded all details of the actual
killings, which she has insisted were
committed in self defense.

ing she went to the home of her
two friends. There was a quarrel.
She was attired in pajamas, pre-
pared for bed.
She skipped over the next events,
then continued.
My pajamas were covered with
blood. I took them off and put ca
a dress and shoes. I ran all the way
home to my house"
There, she said, she met Halloran
and told him of what had hap
pened.
Mr.. Halloran fairly dragged me to
his automobile, she said.
On the way to the home of the
two women she said Halloran ad-
vised her to take the bodies to Los
Angeles.

'The first thing he said was My
God, Sammy Then he stopped
down and felt Sammys pulse and
examined her chest wound. He
picked up Sammy, and carried her
into the bedroom, and placed her
on AIMS bed"
Mrs. Judd said she left the house
alone. and returned later to find
the bed had been made up, fresh
and clean.
He (Halloran) told me an op-

Sammie," she said.
A perceptible shudder seized her
as she added: Il know certain or
