BARNSTABLE, Mass, June 13.-Dis-
trict Attorney William c. Crossley told
the McMath kidnapping jury today that

of Harwichport, went on trial yesterday
charged with kidnapping 10-year-old
Margaret Peggy" McMath. for whose

paid $50, 900.
Crossley constantly stressed the equal
culpability of the elder Buck, who acted
as the go-between for his brother in
negotiations with the McMath family.
Crossley said Cyril constantly had
misrepresented the situation to the
girls father after Peggy had been
spirited from her Harwichport school on
May 2.
The jurors yesterday had been taken
for view of the school, the cranberry
bog shack where the girl was first con-
fined and the dungeon beneath a Har-
wichport house in which she was ulti-
mately kept.
Crossley brought out that the ransom
money was furnished by Mrs McMath
and was secured on bonds and securities
which were In the hands of Neil c. Nc
Math, father of the child
As Crossley spoke Mrs. Bertha Buck,
mother Of the defendants was led from
the court room on the verge of collapse.

the prosecution would be stopped If he
could produce $4,000 of the ransom
money. The prosecutor branded this

Mrs Rebecca Schuman, widowed
mother OF two children, was surprised
to find all the doors and windows OF
her home securely locked when she re-
turned from work last night.
She had her front-door key, of course
but she might just as well not have had
it, because the screen door was hooked
on the inside.
The house should have been unlocked
long before. Her older son, David, Is,
should have been home from school at
least three hours earlier, and he usually
unlocked the doors and windows so the
house would be cool and comfortable
when she finished her days work. She
wondered why David was not home.
She called her younger son, Irving,
8, who was playing nearby, and told
him to go to the home of a neighbor
and borrow an ice-pick with which to
unhook the screen door. Irving re-
turned with the pick a few moments
later, and she jammed it through the
screen, pushed up the hook, unlocked
the inner door and went IN.
While she was opening the other
doors and windows on the first floor,
Irving went upstairs. Suddenly she
heard him scream, and he came run

thing had frightened him, but he could
not tell her what. She went upstairs
to see for herself.

LONDON, June 13.-The gen.
eral belief persisted in politi-
cal quarters this afternoon that
Great Britain would not pay the
debt installment due the United
States next Thursday without very
definite guarantees that the pay
ment would facilitate a permanent
settlement of the debt problem.
It had been expected that a
definite statement on the situa-
ton would be made by Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor Of the
exchequer, before the House of
Commons this afternoon, but it
was learned that his statement
has been deferred until evening
An early morning British cabi-
net meeting at 10 Downing street
today failed to remove the threat
of a British default.
Whole Cabinet Present.
Every minister of the national gov
eminent was summoned for the session
at 9 o'clock, following an extraordinary
midnight session.
The meeting lasted three-quarters Of
an hour, and there was no subsequent
announcement that the debts questiou
had been settled.
Negotiations win continue with
Washington today, 1t was learned, re-
garding the fnstallment.
News Of the early morning cabinet
meeting spread through Whitehall
quickly, creating a new feeling OF ap-
prehension over the debts problem and
the possible effect.
The British view is that every avail
able hour before the payment Is due
will be utilized for negotiations with
Washington In the hope that some
sort Of satisfactory settlement Is still
possible.
