the defunct company, as "odds and
ends" of her holdings.
James L. Watson, former United
States Senator, presented the final
defense arguments, followed by Dis
trict Attorney Val Nolan, who
closed for the government.
Mr.. Hines opened his defense of
Mr.. Pfaff dramatically with:
MAY I walk barefoot through
hell and may my tongue cleave to
the roof of my mouth, if I don't
tell the truth"
He then said the firm was I'M
able to handle many of the dealings
because the company was in bank
ruptcy and that his client had but
little TO do with the operation of
the company the last several months
of its existence"
Mr.. Hines pointed out that if the
members of the firm had wanted to
embezzle funds "all they would
have had to do was open safe that
had S150,000 in it, This money
still was there at the time of the
bankruptcy"
Directed Verdict Denied
Motions for a directed verdict of
not guilty for the defendants were
overruled at the close of testi-
mony yesterday by Judge Baltzell.
Mr.. Pfaff was on the stand for
two hours. On direct examination
he said that during his last three
years with the firm he merely was
a salesman and gave no orders.
None of the mailings of confrma-
ton slips or dividend notices
charged by the government was I'M
der his supervision, he testified.

COL. KNOX HAS
4-P0INT PLAN
FOR RECOVERY
Chicago Publisher Bitterly
irraigns Brain Trust
Economy
NOV. 10, 1885

Bitter arrangement OF what he
termed brain trust economy" and
submission or fOur-point recovery
program as a substitute for it.,
marked the address Of Col. Frank
Knox, Chicago publisher, before a
capacity crowd last night at Murat
Temple.
Col. Knox, prospective candidate
for the Republican nomination for
President, spoke at meeting spon-
sored by the Irvington Republican
Club. He had spoken at noon at
the Columbia Club, as the guest of
Eugene Pulliam, Lebanon publisher
to Indiana newspaper men and edi-
tors on Freedom of the Press"
Undecided on Presidency
He declared at a press conference
he has not decided definitely
whether he will seek the presiden-
tial nomination.
At the Murat last night, Col
Knox warned against the trend to-
ward dictatorship in the United
States and declared that President
Roosevelt now has more dictatorial
powers than trainers Of the Consti-
tuition ever intended a President to
have.
His 4-Point Plan
His four-point recovery plan in
Guided:
/. Immediate balancing of the
national budget which he said could
be accomplished by the process OF
bringing outgo within income and
reducing government waste.
3. BY removing all doubt as to in
tegrity of the dollar.
3. Complete elimination of the
principle of coercion in supervision
of business and agriculture.
q. Elimination of the centrallza-
ton of all power in an autocratic
bureaucracy in Washington and rec
ogAition of the Supreme Courts
6uality Of judgment on both Federal
and state legislation.
STAY in Washington's Path
I'VE must stop sitting at the feet
of Lenin, Marx, Hitler and Mussolinl
and stay in the straight path trod
by Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln
and Theodore Roosevelt Col. Knox
declared.
He termed the phrase New Deal"
nothing but a catch phrase for
form of government that was old
when Rome was young-autocracy.
Col Knox questioned the sincerity
of President Roosevelt'S recently
promised breathing spell for bust
ness"
"A breathing spell from what?" he
demanded. "A breathing spell from
the hocus- pocus of young theorists
with nothing to lose and an over
powering lust for front page pub
licity'
Cites Roosevelt Pledges
Col. Knox declared President
Roosevelt had declared himself 100
per cent for" the 1882 Democratic
platform promising balanced
budget and fewer bureaus.
Instead of a balanced budget"
he said, the New Deal budgets in
three years have been $14, 400,000 900
out of balance. The President has
been able to get away with an orgy
of spending the peoples money be-
cause they do not fully appreciate

Two Policemen
Jailed In Death
OF State Farmer

Angler, Dec. %. (UP).-An-
gier's entire police force-O. M.
Pollard and C. F. Day-was in
Jail at Ellington today without
privilege of bond in connection
with the fatal blackjack beating
of Green Collins, prominent to-
bacco farmer.
The two were brought to Lii
lington last night after coroner's
inquest.
Collins died suddenly Friday
morning as a result of more than
20 blows which one of the police
men allegedly inflicted with
blackjack after they both had ar.
rested and jailed him on charges
of drunkenness Christmas day.
Physicians who performed an
autopsy on the body late yester-
day found the farmers face badly
lacerated and a blood clot on his
brain.
Witnesses to the beating told
the coroner at the inquest last
night that Pollard, night police
man, administered the beating,
while Dean, day officer and chief
of police, looked on and held a
flashlight on Collins'~ cell in the
little unheated frame Jail.
Solicitor C. C. Canady Of Ben
son intimated charges Of first de-
gree murder might be brought
against Pollard, and Dean might
be charged with aiding and abet-
ting in the death of the farmer.

Philippians also repeatedly cap
tured II machine guns.
It is uncertain whether Ethiop--
ians will attempt to hold these po-
sitions and thus cut the Italian
supply system permanently. They
probably will relinquish them and
continue their guerilla attacks at
various points along the road,
hoping to demoralize the enemy.
It is believed here the Ethiop-
ians would not be able to hold
anything they have gained in
these reported recent attacks
without bringing up large sup
porting forces.

Italy seeks to consolidate her po-
