D. E. JURY GETS
INCOME FRAUD
CHARGES
Garnett Makes Fiery
Appeal to Convict
'Buzzards of Bar

With the accusing words Of
United States Attorney Leslie C.
Garnett still ringing in their ears,
IL District Supreme Court jurors
at noon today began celebrating
the fate of a New York tax con.
sultant and two former Internal
Revenue Bureau officials on
charges of conspiring to defraud
the Government.
Mr.. Garnett's fiery closing ar.
gument to the jury characterized
the three defendants, Frank B.
McElhin, the consultant; John w.
Hardgrove, former chief conferee
at the bureau, and Henning r.
Nelson, a former auditor, as
"buzzsrds of the bar and worms
within the Government" as he de.
manded their conviction.
Courts Charge Brief
Justice F. Dickinson Let's, fol-
lowing Mr.. Garnett's closing argu.
ment, delivered a charge to the
jury which, but for the reading
of the lengthy indictment would
have been unusually brief.
The Government is entitled to
the honest, faithful and efficient
service of its employees, the chief
prosecutor said in his address. and
TO deprive the Government of that
service is in effect a fraud upon
the Government.
Characterizing the admissions of
Hardgrove and Nelson as "brazen
falsities," Garnett drew a word
picture Of the famous light house
of Venice which, gradually under.
mined by worms and borers.
crashed into the sea.
Asks Conviction
eff you convict these buzzards
Of the bar and worms within the
Government for attempting to
undermine the foundations of its
citadel, the money required in pre-
pairing this case will have been
well spent" Garnett said.

u. 5. M0DIFIES
POLICY ON
SILVER
Still Buying, Ayers
Moreenthau, But No
Longer at One Mart
international News Service


The American Government had
bought silver every day this week,
but has made a change in its
buying policies under which or
ders are now being placed in
many places, rather than in
London alone.
Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau revealed these facts to-
day when he discussed the silver
situation briefly at his press con-
ference.
Morgenthau refused to say
whether the silver purchases Of
this week were much lighter
than normal.
Quotes Silver Act
The Secretary's brief formal for
NAL statement follows:
II am continuing to carry out
the mandate of the silver pur.
chase act, which says:
1.-The Secretary of the Treas
ury is authorized and directed to
purchase silver at home or abroad,
for present or future delivery,
with any direct obligations, coin
or currency Of the United States
authorized by Jaw, or with any
funds in the Treasury, not other
wise appropriated, at such rates
and at such times, and upon
such terms and conditions as he
get this, boys-may deem rea-
sonable and most advantageous
to the public interest,""
Morgenthau was Immediately
asked whether his emphasis upon
the latter portion Of his quotation
from the silver act meant that he
did not think present silver prices,
terms and conditions favorable.
His only reply was a broad smile,
as he wagged his head and said:
That is a question you will
have to answer for yourself"
Morgenthau was then asked
what prompted the withdrawal Of
American Government support
from the London silver market on
Tuesday.

1884 Bettered 1883 Classifications By
 Comfortable Margin
Chamber of Commerce Review Reveals Sensational Advances-Bank Savings Last Year, Despite De-
 pressiOn Era, Contrast FavOrably With l93O

Business in Waterbury made substantial progress during 1884, according to statisticss covering n 16 year period which were issued today by the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce. The review shows that no sensational advances were made in 1894, but that there were comfortable advances over 1923 in almost every classification.
 The survey, going back to 1918 for annual comparisons since that time takes in eight important classifications, bank clearings. bank debits, bank savings, building permits, gas consumption, electric ity consumption, postal receipts and number of telephones.
 One Of the most striking facts disclosed in the review Is that bank savings last year. despite more than four years of business depres- sion. compare very favorably with the highest previous year, which was 1880. Bank savings last year totalled $42,497,O007, as compared with the 1890 figure of $48.799, ,040.
 Building permits last year were almost double in value those is- sued in 1883. but of course still far below the huge totals of the boom years in the middle of the last dec- ade. Electricity and gas consump- tion are only a bit behind their 1929 totals while a large increase in number of telephones was noted last year.
