against 66.48 cents yesterday.
British pounds sterling gained
one-quarter cent at $4.7834. Scan
dinavian exchanges, however,

KISS KILL j
STORY IS
PROVEN
FAKE
Taken to Scene of Crime,
But Is Unable to Re-
enact the Killing

IsadOre Matin, alias Ted
Martin, Philadelphia golf pro-
fessiOnaI, this afternoon re-
tracted his confession that he
killed BeuIah Limerick after he
had been taken to the scene
of the murder by detectives
and was unable to re-enact the
crime as he had promised to
do.
Isadore Matin, alias Ted
Martin, young Philadelphia
golf professional, today was
given his chance to prove his
claim. that he killed Beulah
limerick, pretty 19-year-old
tteater usl4er and secretary-of
the Sky High Whoopee Club
here nearly three years ago.
While police were searching for
members of the club in an at
tempt to discover if any of them
had ever seen Beulah with Martin,
members of the homicide squad
took Martin out to have him re-
construct the murder in the little
house in the first block Of Nine
teenth st. S. E., where she was
shot to death on the morning Of
December 81, 1880.
SkepticaI Of Story
Before being taken to the scene
Martin was again questioned at
length regarding the crime and
still clung to his story that he
killed the girl.
Detectives admitted they were
skeptical of his story as it con-
tains many discrepancies.
Martin, held here on an open
charge following his d r a m tic
surrender in Philadelphia, claim
ing he was haunted by the
whoopee girl he had slain, still
clings to his story of the murder.
although police are as yet unable
to verify it.
Fined AS Drunk
Martin declares that he killed
the Limerick girl while he held
her in his arms and kissed her.
He contends that as his arms en-
circled her he showed a gun
against the back of her head and
fired once.
After the bizarre "kiss-killing,"
Martin, according to his confes-
sion, stopped the wound, doing
it so successfully that it escaped
detection when the dead girl was
first examined.
Earl Reed, one of the men
questioned by police at the time
of the murder, was sentenced to
a SIS fine or IS days in Jail on
charge of intoxication by
Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Po-
lice Court today.
Reed, brother of Richard Reed,
who posed as the slain girls
husband, was arrested yesterday.
Police questioned him at length
at No. S precinct, but he could
add nothing to the testimony he
previously had given.

BOND BUYERS
BANK
0.U|ZSHONS
Chase Prospectus Told Of
Cuban Treasury Surplus De-
spite Actual Deficits
BY international News Service

The Chase National Bank
was charged today by Ferdi-
nand Pecora, Senate banking
counsel, with issuing "mis-
leading information" to the
American investing public
while floating a $20,OOO,OOO
Cuban loan in 1928 and 1929.
Pecora showed the band sent
out prospectuses claiming the
Cuban government had a treas
ury surplus of $22, 100000 in the
five years ending June 80, 1927,
and a surplus of $23,000,000 for
the six years ending June 80,
1928. He further showed the
Cuban treasury had suffered
deficits during most of these
years.
Figures Defended
Sheppard Morgan, one Of the
banks many vice presidents, tes-
titled the statements in the pros
pectuses were based on an Of
ficial statement from the secre-
tary of the Cuban treasury.
Pecora produced memoran-
dunn by A. K. Geiger, another
Chase vice president, on october
27, 1881, announcing his inquiry
had shown that the Cuban gov
ernment's operations "in each
of the past five years resulted in
deficits, aggregating $21,OOO,OOO
for the period"
This survey was made by the
bank two years after it claimed
in its advertising that Cuba had
rolled up huge surplus in
almost the same period.
Certificate Sale Aided
Morgan read letter from the
Cuban secretary of treasury de-
claring the Cuban governments S
ordinary revenues exceeded ordl-
nary expenditures by $22,5OO, 900
in the five fiscal years ending
June 30, 1927" The bank used
this statement in a prospectus
sent out in october, 1928, to help
the sale of a $1O,O00,00O issue
of serial certificates.
In January, 1929, the bank
issued a second prospectus to
help the sale of another
$1O,0O0,OO Cuban issue. In this
prospectus, the bank increased
the Cuban surplus to $23,OOO,OOO
for the preceding six years.
No Check-Up Shown
Under a hammering examina-
ton, Morgan was unable to
show the bank had done any
thing to check the Cuban secre-
tary's claims.
Pecora produced a memorandum
prepared by Frank Callahan, a
Chase official on May 81, 1929.
Callahan wrote the Cuban govern
ment would not be able to carry
on its public works program and
also meet it's budgetary require
