ARMY OFFICERS
FACE. TRIAL

Court-martial of several high
ranking Army officials appeared
likely today as an outgrowth of
the inquiry by the House Military
Affairs Committee into War De-
partment activities.
An intra-departmental investi-
cation by the inspector generals
office has been in progress for
some time and reptrt Of the in
vestigators is expected to be sub
niitted to Secretary of War Dern
shortly.
The House group, after more
than six months of deliberations,
specifically charged certain War
Department officials with lobby
ing activities and irregularities in
the administration of Army pro-
curements.
The departments investigation
was initiated after Secretary Dern
and Gen. Douglas Macarthur,
chief of staff, received blunt warn
ing from the committee that it's
charges must not be ignored. The
two Army heads appeared before
the committee in secret session
upon the committees request
early in December.

DENIES RIFT

NEW YORK, Feb. at isn't
true that John Barrymore fled to
India to- escape his talented wife,
Dolores Costello, nor that he pre-
fers the company of tigers and
other jungle inhabitants to that
of his Hollywood mate.
Nor is it true that Dolores Cos
tello finds her greatest happiness
in New York or Hollywood while
her handsome husband is off on
the other side of the world.
In short, there is nothing to
rumorS of martial differences be-
tween the pair-and you can take
John Barrymore's word for it.
Returning to New York from the
Orient, Mr.. Barrymore lighted a
cynical cigarette and said the
world is wrong, as usual, in jump
ing to the conclusion that trouble
is brewing just because he and his
wife were separated for a few
months.
midas climate is unSuited to
American women and the places
he visited were particularly threat
ening to the health and comfort of
Mrs. Barrymore, he explained. So
she didn't go.

Says:

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Say,
my friend the mayor wasn't to
blame about the snow. He
couldn't get the labor. They
were all on relief.
Now moving snow in New
York city used to be the one
job that they laid for. But
no more. Now that's what's
going to turn some of the SYM
pathy of relief away. When
the impression gets around that
people are being fed who won't
work you will have an about
face on this relief situation.
Nobody can kick on honest
deserving relief, and nobody
can be blamed for kicking on
relieving somebody when they
won't work. The Government
and towns have got to find
some way Of telling them apart.
Maybe fingerprinting would
do it, or one of those 'clie de-
tectOrs." Anyhow all this shows
where public works beats the
straight "dOle."

GOLD RULING
|. POWDERED
BY COURT
U. S. Set to Avert Panic In
Case of Adverse Decision
BV Justices Monday ::
International News Service

With the entire financial world
sitting on an anxious seat, nine
justices of the Supreme Court
gathered in conference today per
haps finally to decide the 100000
million dollar gold case.
The justices met around a table
in their shabby but historic room
on the first floor of the Capitol.
Although the court carefully
guards against leaks, there was
general expectation that a decis-
ion would be announced on Mon
day on constitutionality Of the law
abrogating the gold clause in Gov
eminent and private bonds.
Shades Drawn
Most of the shades on the win
dows about the conference room
were drawn shortly before the
court went into session.
Despite the prediction Of Attor'
ney General Cummings that an
unfavorable decision would pre-
cipitate Chaos" it was authori-
tatively reported that the Govern
ment would move swiftly to null.
lily an adverse decision.
Many methods have been pro.
posed. Among them is a proposed
constitutional amendment, to be
ratified within three weeks, pro-
hibiting holders of gold bonds from
claiming a SO per cent premium
due to dollar devaluation.
Exchanges to Close
The Government could be pro-
tected even more quickly by pas
sage Of a bill prohibiting the
Court of Claims from deciding any
claim against the Government.
To prevent financial gyrations
all stock markets in the United
States may be closed by the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission
when reading of the opinion is
begun.
Although the court has 80 cases
pending, it may delay announcing
the gold decision until after the
markets close.

MistriQL Possible

Since collapse of the juror at
this time would result in a mis-
trial of the States "$150,000
case," as Chief Defense Counsel
Edward j. Reilly calls it, the
physicians bulletin was the big
gest news of the day around here.
Mr.. Case was permitted to take
a little careful exercise on the
long, latticed balcony of the
ancient, red-brick Union Hotel
where the jury is housed. Re
porters watched him from the
street below and eagerly awaited
the report of DR.. Thurman, who
also watched him as he clumbed
up and down the balcony.
With the trial of the century"
adjourned until Monday, the
streets of Pennington resembled
a circus grounds the day after
the circus has pulled up its
stakes. The lawyers, the Broad
way court room fans, most of
the press representatives, and
practically all the bizarre follow
ing of the trial have vanished
until Monday.
Mr.. Reilly was in New York
rounding up more defense wit
neSSeS. Attorney General David
T. Wilentz was in his home in
Perth Amboy while his investi-
gators were busy checking up on
the witnesses Mr.. Reilly has
already called.

BEERS, BATON ROUGE, La, Feb.
2 0.N.S0.-George r. (Red)
Davis, former deputy sheriff Of
East Baton Rouge Parish, testi-
fled today that he plotted with a
fellow deputy to "get Huey Long"
for a price Of $1,000 each.
Davis, replying in an apparently
reluctant manner to the persist
ent questioning OF the Louisiana
s'Kingfish," who conducted the in
curry, charged that Fred Parker,
one Of the alleged ring leaders IN
an asserted plot to assassinate
Senator Long, approached him On
the subject. He said:
Parker asked me If / wanted
to make some easy money. I
said I was always ready to
make easy money. He said we
could make $1,000 apiece by
getting Huey Long,"
He quoted Parker:
'"YOu're q good chauffeur
and a good shot and have .

!. under constant proddlng by
Senator Long, Davis related de-
tails Of their purported plan.
Refuse to Talk
Previously Parker and Fred
O'Rourke, q Standard Oil en-
ploye, also accused by Senator
Long as being a. leader in the
plot, had stood on their constitu-
tional rights and refused on the
witness stand to answer questions.
They charged they were being VIC
timized in frame-up.
Senator Long, acting as prose
cutor.in-chief Of the ex-parte pro-
ceedings, asked three direct ques-
tons seeking to link Mr.. O'Rourke
with the plot.
Framed" He Says
Addressing the court, he
charged that he was being
'''framed." To each query di-
rected at him, he replied:

As he was called to the stand
MIR. O'Rourke said:
ct is very evident / am being
framed for something I am not
guilty Of. Under the rights given
me by the constitution Of this
State and the United States, I
refuse to testify"
Senator Long demanded:
"WaS that statement written
for you? Did you get a lawyer to
tell you that?"

To DEATH
CHAIR
Legenza, Both Legs Broken,
Carried to Execution
BY Prison Guards
BY Times Correspondent

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 2.-Pale
and trembling, cringing in fear,
but denying his guilt, Robert
Mais, youthful ex-liquor runner
and member of the Tri-State gang,
walked to the electric chair in the
old red brick penitentiary here
today. And a few minutes later
his crippled pal, Walter Legenza,
was wheeled to the death cham
Der and paid with his life in the
"hot seat"
Insisting that he had no part
in the murder of E. M. Huband,
Federal Reserve Bank truck
driver, killed during a holdup
here last March, Mais was led to
the death room at exactly 1850.
He was dead 2 minutes later.
Mais was not carried to the
chair, but walked. !
Two guards supported him on
the final 38-foot march from the
condemned row to the chair. Two
shocks were applied hefore 6octors
announced that the killer was
dead.
Sneers at Death
His body was then taken to the
adjoining prison morgue and Le-
genza, the hard guy" the trigger
man for the gang, was wheeled
into the lethal chamber, a sheer
on his lips.
Neither man slept on his last
night on earth, and they did not
eat breakfast. Several times dur.
ing the night they asked for black
coffee and more cigarettes.
Early this morning Mais sent
for Major R. M. Youell, warden
of the prison, and said:
81 don't mind dying, but I
am innocent of this. I did not
have anything to do with the
Huband murder. 1 was not
even in Richmond at the time.
/ have committed many crimes
in my life, but l have never
killed any one. My conscience
is clear in that respect at any
rate"
WEEPS AS HE TALKS

the warden. Later he became
more composed and asked for a
