Practically every Negro member
of the local bar has attended the
trial. At one time every local law
yer was in attendance at the same
time.
The three dailies had three of
their best reporters covering the
trial. Those spectators who at
tended had a great time comparing
what they heard in the court room
with what the TRIBUNE, JOUR-
NAL and STAR printed.
Edward NOtesteen, Oman, tes-
titled that John Neal told him he
had given st. Peter A. N. e.
church of Minneapolis $1,SOO for
remOdeling the church structure. 1t
was in this church that John Geo
Fred Parkinson testified) hid for
the first two days Of his disappear
ance.
Webb, the 500 Line special
agent, told the court that John
Neal admitted giving Mrs. Edith
Sizer of Minneapolis $4,000.
Under crOss-examinatiOn, Webb's
testimony that John Neal had about
20 suits dwindIed to "abOut 40
suits"
Each day there is almost a small
riot when the court room doors
open. Many Of the spectators who
have attended each session have
gone so far as to claim certain

Gable, payroll teller, and his as
sistant, admitted that John made
them presents of boxes of candy
two or three times weekly. The
candy was handed to them by John
in the lobby of the 500 Line Bank
Bldg.
Dan Webb Testifes
Dan Webb, 500 Line special
agent chief, attempted during his
time on the stand to inject preju-
dicial testimony, but was stopped
by objections made by Rerat. Once
even District Attorney Hammond
halted him as he tried to get in
prejudicial statements.
Neal Takes Stand
Wednesday, after the prosecution
had rested, after having interrogat-
ed sixteen witnesses, Meals counsel,
Eugene Rerat, outlined his clients
defense. He said he would show
that w. Squire Neal had done no
more than any man would have
done under similar circumstances.
He said he would show that at no
time did Neal attempt-to conceal
the $1,000 he turned over to the
Federal agents. The defense would
show, Mr.. Rerat said, that Squire
Neal had no knowledge of his
brothers entertainments.
Upon direct examination Neal
covered the entire period from the
time of his brothers disappearance
on Dec. %, until he was surren-
dered on Jan. 5, his own arrest and
arraignment later.
He reiterated his innocence and
complete ignorance of any large
amounts of money his brother had
allegedly put into the funeral cor
poration. He said John told him
he earned over $500 from the 500
Line r. r.
Under a stiff cross-examination
Neal maintained stoutly that his
testimony was the truth. At times
he grew so vehement in his an
swers that he gestured with both
hands. He denied telling Swanson,
his bookkeeper, to change the cor
poration books.

is a raDld Negro naCer. IL was not
stand Monday that he called all Of
the colored witnesses by their first
names. In referring to Mrs. Neal
he designated her "Carrie."
A court room jammed to capac-
ity has followed the W. Squire
Neal trial before Federal District
Judge Gunnar Nordbye which en-
tered its second week today Thurs
day. with w. Squire Neal on the
stand being cross-examined by As
sistant U. S. District Attorney
Linus Hammond.
Hammond hammered and grilled
Neal persistently but failed to
change materially the defendants
testimony given on direct examina-
ton in answer to questions put to
him by his own attorney, Eugene
Rerat.
A parade of sixteen government
witnesses have taken the witness
stand in an effort by the govern
ment to convict the Twin City NOR
tician. Among them and the most
damaging were two of Meals en-
ployes, Otis F. Allen and Fred
Parkinson. Much of the states
case was evidently based on Park
inson's testimony and that of A. L.
Swanson, white, evangelist-book-
keeper who was employed by the
Neal corporation.
Otis F. Allen, bookkeeper and
secretary of the Neal Funeral
Homes, testified that the Neal
Homes chad not made a nickel''
since he had been connected with
them. He also testified that John
Neal each Sunday afternoon would
come to the st. Paul home with
from two to four hundred dollars
and instruct him to deposit it in a
st. Paul bank.
In answer to Hammond's queries
concerning the provisions in the
basement of the Minneapolis Neal
Home he said the Neal basement
"resembled a small store" The
district attorney had made much
of the heavily stocked Neal larder
and the large number of autos op-
Grated by the Meals. Later Eugene
Rerat elected from Allen through
cross-examination the admission
that it was not unusual for a NOR
tuary to own four autos, since cars
are a part Of the necessary equip
ment of modern funeral establish
ments.
Fred Parkinson, 10-year employee
of the mortuary, recovering from
an illness, got up from a sick bed
to tell what he knew for the gov
eminent about the disappearance
of John Neal and the part Squire
Neal and himself played in trans
ferring him to the Parkinson home.
His most damaging tie stimony
seemed to be that which alleged
Squire Neal told him that if he
phoned him and gave him certain
yelled phone instructions he was to
take Meals golf bag, which con-
tanned $5,9OS in currency, to his
home.
When Squire Neal took the stand
in his own behalf he refuted all of
Parkinson's and Aliens testimony
that tended to damage his defense
against the governments indict-
ment.

st. James Club
Stages Unique
Style Revue
By Joseph Albright

The C. o. D. Club of the st.
James A. M. E. Church of st. Paul
produced style show at the Halle
@. Brown Settlement House last
Tuesday evening that stamped it
self as an unusual and interesting
entertainment. The show, under
the direction of Mable McGavock
Lewis, was called ''The History of
Styles" and cleverly portrayed the
history of feminine fashions
through the ages.
Space will not permit a detailed
account of the many splendid fea-
lures of the show, so the writer
will confne his remarks to the
highlights of the production.
Chas. Miller Was M. C.
Beginning with the original style
of the legendary "fig-leaf" period,
the continuity of the show brought
the style parade down to brilliant
showing of 1888 styles. The man
nequins modelled their frocks with
grace and charm that brought ex-
carnations of pleasure and appre-
citation from the large crowd that
filled the auditorium. The master
of ceremonies was Charles Miller,
who did a commendable job of an
nouncing the periods to be por-
trayed. ..
st. James Singers
An interlude of choral numbers
was presented by the st. James
Singers, whose renditions of "Steal
Away To Jesus" STUDY War No
More" and "Short'nin' Bread" pro-
vided an impressive and pleasing
departure from the routine of the
production. A comedy skit by Burt
Brown and John Claiborne also
served to enliven and refresh pro-
ceedings.

ARLINGTON, Va, June 4.
More than 10 per cent of all signs

the majority Of present signs are
too large to conform to the ordi-
nance. All must be corrected or
removed within 90 days.
Other features of the new zon-
Ing ordinance provide for the
construction of row houses on
application to the county board,
increase the street setback for all
residential and business structures
and require future homes and
apartments built in the county to
have off-street parking space for
at least one automobile for each

The street setback regulations
we're fixed at so feet from the

Present Day Club Meets
AT Hotel Durunt

The Present Day Club met Octo-
Der 25th at the Hotel Durant.
The travel minded members of this
club who are now seeing the sights
in England sent very interesting re-
ports of some Of their "goings-on."
Mrs. D. c. Brumfield furnished a most
interesting word description of Lon
don. Mrs. F. ". McCullar very ably
described college life at Cambridge
and Oxford, also, gave some of tho
inside dope on just what these club
members are accomplishing on their
tour, and from her information 1t
looks as il some of this number may
be left in some foreign port. Mrs.
r. B. Jenkins was most impressed
with the benefits of a Rhodes Scho-
larship and sent an explanation of
just what this scholarship is and
how 1t may be obtained.
A report of the Cake Walk was
given and the money derived there
from will be used to defray this clubs
school lunch room expense.
i Coca Colas were served in the Cof-
fee Shop and the meeting was ad
journed to meet November 5, with
Mrs. r. B. Jenkins.
