$4,000 JUDGMENT
REVERSAL ASKED
Federal-American Bank
Says Tax Records Reveal
Discrepancy in Testimony.

Claiming income tax records OBJ
tanned since a trial last Spring have
indicated a discrepancy in the testi-
mony of witness, Cary A. Hardee, re-
ceiver for the Federal-American Ma
tional Bank, today asked Justice Pey-
ton Gordon of District Supreme Court
to set aside s27,500 Judgment against
the bank.
The Judgment was obtained by the
George H. Price Insurance & Bond
ing Co., which sued the Federal-Amer-
ican as successor to the Merchants
Bank & Trust Co. for $500, 900. claim
ing the latter bank dishonored firm
check for less tha n$2,000 on August
II, 1880, although there were sufficient
funds to pay it.
In his motion to vacate the judg-
ment, Hardee alleged that F. Harold
De Land, president of the insurance
firm, testified at the trial:
I'VE have done a business Of any
where from $4,000 to $4,000 net in
come year."
Hardee stated it was not possible
during the trial to confront the wit
ness with the evidence now in his
possession because De Land testified
that the records of the firm for sew
eral years had been lost.
Through the controller of the cur
rency, however, it has been possible
to obtain the income tax returns Of
the firm for the years 1928-29-3 80
Hardee told the court through his
attorneys. These reveal that at no
time during these years did the firm
have a net income of as much as
$4,000 year. he stated.
The jury would have been wholly
without evidence on which to base
its verdict but for De Lands testimony
the court was told. An affdavit by
Hardee accompanied the motion. JUS
tice Gordon took the matter under
advisement.

TAKOMA PARK, Md, November 81.
Speeding and reckless driving near
public schools In this vicinity is caus-
ing anxiety among parents and ap-
peals are being made to local and
State authorities. Town officials are
doing everything possible with the po-
lice force, but appeals continue to be
made for protection Of school children.
The latest appeal comes from the
School Safety Committee of the Pub
lie Health Lay Council Of Takoma
Park. The committee states that ''it
is convinced that traffic conditions
around the schools are extremely seri-
GUS. This Is not a reflection on the
town police force, the members of
which have been cooperative since
the beginning of the school year, but
a part Of the general problem Of speed
and reckless driving common through
out the country. The community has
been fortunate so far. as no child
among the 1900 attending school In
this immediate area has been manned
or killed"
Establishment of q traffic court In
Takoma Park is also being urged by
the health council, which feels that II
court is not held In this town the po-
lice should be augmented to make up
for the time lost by members who
must travel to Rockville on cases. The
attention Of the county commissioners
Of Prince Georges County has been
invited to traffic conditions on Ray
road. where 1o5 children Of the school
are said to be constantly endangered
by speeding automobiles.

several special brackets of service
amounting to about 100000 annu-
ally, is contemplated by the Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Co., the
Public Utilities Commission has been
notified informally.
Details Of the proposed new tariffs
have not been prepared and both
company and commission officials de.
clined yesterday to discuss how the
suggested rate cut might be applied
except that they would affect only 9

the whole body of customers.
The subject was discussed between
Ralph A. Van Orsdel, company coun'
sci; John A. Remon, its general man.
ager, and Chairman Riley e. Elgen oi
the commission. There was no state.
uent as to when the proposed re.
duced tariffs would be filed with tht

company was considering reduction IL
charges, including the charges for us
Of special sets for the hard Of hear
ing; reduction in charges for exten
sion lines in private homes and re
ductions in private branch exchang
extension services. ,

RECORDSEXH|B|TED
At M'NE|L TRIAL
Stunz Transactions DeCrib-
ed by Two Park Savings
BookkeeperS.

The trial in District Supreme Court
of Benedict M. Mcneil, assistant
cashier of the defunct Park Savings
Bank, was marked this morning by
the introduction Of numerous bank
records in an effort by the Govern
ment to trace alleged transfers of
funds from various savings accounts
to the commercial account main
tanned in the name of the real estate
firm of the defendants father, Alex
ander Mcneil.
Mrs. Louise D. Larrick, general
oookkeeper of the bank, identified
many exhibits and stated that many
Of the debit and credit slips intro
duced were in the handwriting of
Robert s. Stunz, executive vice presi-
dent of the bank, who since COM
mitted suicide.
Stunz and the elder Mcneil are
named in the indictment with Bene-
dict Mcneil for conspiracy to steal
$4,000 from the bank.
Transactions Described.
Several times Mrs. Larrick identified
records showing unnamed savings ac-
counts were debited and the account
Of "A. M. Mcneil Co." credited with
the same amounts on the same days.
The sums involved ranged from 200
odd dollars up to several thousand
dollars.
Such transactions did not go through
the teller's cage as would ordinarily
have occurred, she testified, but the
tickets were brought to her personally
by Stunz for entry on her ledgers.
Several Of the credits we're posted
separately from the general credit
totals for the day, she stated under
questioning by Assistant United States
Attorney John j. Wilson.
Robert e. Lynch, who, with At
torney James F. Reilly, is represent
ing Mcneil, objected repeatedly to
the presentation of the documentary
evidence, but on each occasion JUS
tice F. Dickinson Let's ruled in
favor Of the Government Lynch
contended Wilson had not shown the
relevancy Of the items.
Tells of Dummy Accounts"
Two dummy accounts" were
described to the jury late yesterday
by Miss Emily Harrison, savings book
keeper of the bank.
Both were opened at the direction
of Stunz, she said, and the first
items on them were overdrafts total
ing $4,000.
One was in the name of Robert P.
Smith and the other in the name OF
"A. G. williams" Miss Harrison said
Stunz brought cards for the two &C
counts to her one day and directed
her to enter them on the ledger. Then
he asked for the cards back and took
them away, she testified.
The initial overdraft on the Smith
account was $4,000, which carried the
notation it was for the purchase of a
real estate note, while the overdraft
on the Williams account was $4,000.
The Government contends there was
no "a. G. Williams" although Al j.
williams, famous speed pilot, had an
account at the Park Savings.
Smith, chairman of the committee
which staged the huge Shrine celebra-
ton last June, followed Miss Harrison
on the witness stand. He testified he
never had a savings account at the
Park Savings and never purchased a
real estate note through that or any
other bank. He was excused without
| cross-examination.

TRIAL OF GRAYSON
AGAIN POSTPONED
Delayed Sixth Time Despite
Expressed DispIeasure
of 0'Donoghue.

Trial Of John Cooke Grayson, for
mer Treasury official, against whom
conspiracy charge in connection
with the collapse of the Park Savings
Bank has been pending for more than
two years, was postponed for the
sixth time today, despite the ex-
pressed displeasure Of Justice Daniel
w. ODonoghue of District Supreme
Court at the delay.
The continuance was requested by
United States Attorney Leslie C. Gar
nett, who told the court witnesses
now testifying in the trial Of Bene-
dict M. Mcneil, in progress before
Justice F. Dickinson Let's in another
criminal division, are necessary for
the Grayson case, He also men
toned the series of trials already
calendared in which william e.
Leahy, Grayson's attorney. is sched-
uled to appear as counsel. He said
these also would hinder immediate
trial of Grayson.
Setting the trial for January 13,
Justice ODonoghue said: ~,--,-
"The court reluctantly grants the
motion Of the district attorney. This
case was put on the calendar for today
with the understanding it was to go ON
trial. When the case comes up Janu-
ary Is the court expects it to take
precedence over any other appoint
ments of the district attorney and de-
fense counsel. 1t should be tried with
out fail"
Grayson is charged with clipping
off" Robert S. Stunz, executive vice
president of the Park Savings, before
visits of bank examiners. Stunz later
committed suicide.
Grayson was indicted June %, 1888.
After several preliminary motions de-
murrer was filed by his counsel on
March 2, 1884. This was overruled by
Justice Peyton Gordon November 26
1884. Since that time the case has been
set for trial six times. Previous con-
tinuances have been placed on the
plea that Grayson's health is precari-
GUS and it might prove fatal to move
him from his country home near Char
lottesville. Va.
