VICTIMS WILL

AT HAHN TRIAL
Written in English by
Forger, State Holds
Bv EVELYN OBERMAN

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 10
G.NSO .-Confronting blond Anna
Hahn at her murder trial today,
the will of old Jacob Wagner
rested today on the States table
as a motive for the alleged crime.
WRITTEN IN ENGLISH
Introduced by the prosecution
at a special night session, the
will consisted of a brief para
graph in English which stated:
II hereby make my last will
and testament. I am of sound
mind and no influence. I have
my money in the Fifth Third
Union Bank. I want my funeral
expenses paid and all my bills.
The rest I leave to my relative
Anna Hahn, who will be the exc
cutor of my estate. I want no
flowers and 1 do not want to be
laid out"
(signed) Jacob Wagner"
The State has contended that
Mrs. Hahn did not meet Wagner
until long after the date of the
document, January 10, 1896. 1t
has also been asserted that Wag-
ner did not know how to write
English.
DECLARED FORGERY
With this foundation, Prose
cutor Loyal Martin declared he
would attempt to prove that the
will" was a forgery and placed
by the defendant in the cupboard
of Wagner'S room, where it was
found soon after his death by
Charles Dotzauer, deputy clerk Of
the Probate Court.
Another witness, Mrs. Matte
Monroe, proprietor of Wagner'S |
rooming house, testified she found
arsenic in the locked bathroom to
which Mrs. Hahn was given key
while she nursed him. The teSti-
mony was stricken from the
record by defense objection.

Black, chairman Of the Senate Labor
Committee, leans decidedly to the
liberal viewpoint, and has supported
virtually all of the New Deal legisla-
tion. including measures to which his
Southern colleagues objected In join
ing with the late Representative Con-
merry, Democrat, Of Massachusetts, in
framing the current wages-hour bill.
Black has gone contrary to the wishes
of constituents who had threatened to
work for his defeat next year.
This, incidentlly, was along the lines
of the measure he was sponsoring
when the N r. A. was set up, and for
whose need he has argued since the N.
R. A. was knocked out by the Su-
preme Court.
No one in the Senate was more ac-
tive in supporting the court reform bill
When Senator Robinson of Arkansas
died Black fought to have Senator
Barkley of Kentucky named leader in
stead Of Senator Harrison of Missis-
sippi, regarded by many as more con-
SerVative.
Charges Narrowness to Court.
Throughout recent years Black has
insisted the Supreme Court was giving
too narrow construction to the in
terstate commerce clause of the Con-
stltution. the basis of many of the de-
cisions invalidating New Deal meas
ures.
He contended. even after N. R. A.
was invalidated, that his 30-hour week
bill was fully constitutional
The Alabaman, however, did not
object to the Supreme Courts attitude
toward the delegation OF power in N.
R. A. He had argued consistently
during the framing of the law. that
Congress should itself write the laws
instead OF delegating the job to repre-
sentatives Of industry and labor.
A few of Blacks recent utterances
give an indication Of his political
philosophy:
He said, during the court debates,
that for number Of years our Con-
stitution has been to all practical pur-
poses what Justices Van Devanter, Nc
Reynolds, Butler, Sutherland and
Roberts said it was"
He also said the prevailing FIVE

II confirmed, Black will be the first
Alabama member of the Supreme
Court since Justice John A. Camp

perience was as police judge. he
