Continued From Page II

the booming days of the county's
growth.
Most notorious, perhaps, was
William (The Fox Hickman, kid
nap-slayer of little Marian Parker.
Hickman, prosecuted by Keyes in
sensational trial, was sent to the
gallows for the crime.
Keyes became an "ace' prose-
cutor under the late District At
torney Thomas Lee Woolwine. He
succeeded Woolwine and, in turn,
was succeeded by the man who
prosecuted him, Buron Fits, the
present district attorney.
Keyes either prosecuted or had a
hand in the prosecution of some of
| the most notorious criminal cases
| in the history of the west.
Among them were the Hickman
case, the Madelaine Obenchain
trial and Clara Phillips hammer
murder. He played minor part
in the attempt to solve the Will
liam Desmond Taylor shooting.
1t was under his direction that
the purported kidnapping of Aimee
Semple Mcpherson was investigat-
ed. She was accused of having
conspired to defeat justice in the
case but she was acquitted.
Possibly his most sensational
case was his sending William Ed
ward Hickman to the gallows.
Keyes spent his entire life in
Z yo1, 10 TIrnC
in Wilmington in 1877.
He is survived besides his widow
by two daughters.
Funeral arrangements were in
complete.
Keyes' trial on bribery was one
of the most sensational of local
cases. Although advised against it,
he took his place among the at
torneys arguing his defense.
Opposed to him, and bitterly
fighting for his conviction, was
present District Attorney Buron
Fits. Fits had learned the art
of prosecution as deputy district
attorney under Keyes and, at the
moment of the trial, was district
attorney-elect.
Fits passed up no opportunity to
send his former superior to San
Quentin and KeyeS, in turn, fought
back the same way. To Keyes' aid
came the greatest of Los Angeles
criminal attorneys-the same men
he had opposed in scores of famous
cases.
The evidence against Keyes was
| too strong even for such an array
of counsel and he was convicted.
He himself made the final defense
argument to the jury.
Keyes was not so brilliant as a
prosecutor as he was persistent.
/ He was the "bull-dog" type of an
attorney, accustomed to giving wit
nesses a most bitter and thorough
cross ss-examination, going over and
over again points where he thought
he might find a flaw or places
where testimony seemed weak.
He was successful in that he won
a high number of convictions
against famed Los Angeles defense
attorneys.

Guaranty Payment
OF Bonds Lauded

ruling of Attorney General Cum
mings defining the unconditional
guaranty Of Federal Farm Mort

poration bonds as a guaranty of
payment" was the subject of con-
siderable favorable comment yes
terday.
Although Internationally guar
anteed as to principal and inter
est, Federal Farm Mortgage IS and
most of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation issues have been sell
ing at a discount, as compared
with Treasury IS.
The Treasury, under the rul-
ing. takes the view that the guar
anty is not merely a guaranty of
collection, but is an actual guar
anty Of payment.

that all options were unchanged.

Subsequent dealings saw a slight

sources. Commission houses took
small amounts of cotton out of
the ring, while the Continent was
in the market for occasional pur-

It has been as low as $102.50
this year.
A Morgan Firm
Proctor and Gamble has been
claSSed a Morgan Company, and
the association of E. B. Smith
and Company with the company
is a natural development. The
Guaranty Trust Company, the
security affiliate of which was
taken over by Smith, is Nor
gan bank, and with the house
of Morgan temporarily retired
from the security field, Smith is
left in the role of temporary
heir.
The deal is doubly interesting,
not alone from the Smiths firm
connection with Proctor and
Gamble, but from the fact this
house with Morgan connections
IS choosing this time to bring out
a stock issue. It is the first piece
of financing Of Importance in
two months.

lieved its employees of their stock
purchase obligations, taking up

6,325,087 and the 5 per cent pre-
ferred from 171,569 to 1857.

mon at $685. a share, and took

tional shares at $50 a share.
Under the option, the Morgan
firm took up 10000 shares at
$50 before February l, 1880, but

SEC. OUTLAWS
B. N. 7, ISSUE
BY M. L. RAMSAY

A far-reaching test of the eff.
fectiveness of stock exchange con.
troll legislation was promised yes
terday, when the New Securities
and Exchange Commission moved
to outlaw trading in an 100000
issue Of Observation-Disclosures Tran
at Corporation bonds.
The commission denied, pending
o hearing, an application for tenn.
porary registration of the bonds
on the New York Stock Exchange.
At the hearing, set for October 3,
BMT and the exchange will be
given opportunity Ito show cause
why permanent registration should
not be denied"
Commission action grew out Of
an alleged flouting Of Federal
rules last summer, when the BMT
issue was listed on the exchange
without registration with the Fed
eral Trade Commission. The rea-
son assigned then was that the
bonds would be sold entirely in
New York State, and no interstate
commerce would be involved.
Evidence is understood to have
been developed by the commission
that some of the bonds have
passed into the hands of investors
in other States.
There remains, however, the lie.
gal question whether the transac-
tions which brought this about
were part Of the distribution Of
the securities by issuers or under.
writer's which, under the Securi-
ties Act, must be preceded by reg
istration if interstate commerce
Is involved.
