The Secretary of State and Mrs
Cordell Hull received pictures from
the royal couple and among others
in this honored group were Presl-
dent RooSevelt'S secretaries.
Gold cuff links engraved with his
initials were other tokens which the
King gave to express his apprecia-
ton and among those receiving these
gifts were the chief usher of the
White House, Mr.. H. G. Grim, and
his capable assistants, Mr.. Wilson
SearleS and Mr.. Charles K. Claunch
The Queen selected lovely brooches
as gifts for those others who aided
in making her stay more pleasant.
Many Memories
Come To Mind.
To reminiSce bit on the exciting
days of the royal visit: Even the
most sophisticated of Washington's
social lumlnarleS were impressed and
thrilled with the royal visitors.
Those who were not included in the
various social events, did not harbor
grudgeS and took their places Wher-
ever they might get a glimpse of this
charming couple from over the sea
Prominent leaders of the social Whirl
In the city held sidewalk parties
to watch the royal procession and
otherS scrambled for front places at
the Union Station when the King
and Queen made their first appear
ance in the Capital.
How lovely many whispered at
the sight of the Queen, and there
was surprise in the sea of faces over
the informal manner in which her
majesty gracefully waved her hand
as she rode with Mrs Roosevelt up
Pennsylvania avenue to the White
House.
The Queens radiant personality
captlvated all Her graciousness ap-
pears born of an intense interest in
people and one felt that she enjoys
to the full every moment of living.
She is not a tall woman but one
sensed the stateliness and innate
dignity in her bearing. Those who
were fortunate in conversing with
Queen Elizabeth were impressed with
her lovely voice and her simple ex-
pressions of how delighted she and
the King were to be in this country
And even those who just watched
the royal couple as they rode by
knew that this King and this Queen
did not need crown to impress upon
all who saw them that they were
royal. for one just felt tin the
best sense of the word.

al. While in Salt Lake City he had

General Hospital at Wrangell. He
states that his visit in Salt Lake

trip.
Mr.. Johnson visited his parents
and three brothers and families in
Kettle River, Minnesota. and had
the experience of being caught in a
two-day April blizzard, while going
from Kettle River by train to his
uncle's home in Duluth, Minnesota.

Admits Error


 Brown admitted the $2.123, ,054 er- TOT early in the morning session after being subjected to lengthy questioning, the prelude to which was obiected to by Special Prose- cutor Hugh M. Alcorn. When Att torney Seaman questioned the wit- ness concerning hypothetical sit- uation in which the oyer expendi- ture would be the same no matter what the appropriation, Alcorn stated that he had dealt with the subject lover and over again. ''Even the figures are the same," he cried.
 Judge Inglis agreed that the sub ject had been covered by overruled objections of Alcorn when Seaman stated that 1t was preliminary to something important.
 Questioned by Seaman, Brown was steadfast in his statements that the over-expenditures of city ap- propriations for the years 1932-1937 had been $3,775,55791.
 He insisted as well that if the city employees had not taken wage slash es during the years concerned the over-expenditure would have been $5,89S, ,61290, a difference of $2,- 123,054, the amount which he later admitted was an error.
 That's incorrect, isn't it?" asked Seaman, at that time.
 "No, it is not" replied Brown.
 Seaman advanced to the witness stand, holding a yellow sheet of pa- per for the examination of Brown. The paper, he said was a schedule, and he offered the use of 1t to Brown.
 The witness took the paper and examined it. "Now, don't you real ize you made a mistaken" asked

In 1886. the $524,- 763.50 we were discussing this morn ing, that was not approved by the Board of Aldermen or by the Board of Finance. You didn't bring that point out. The Board of Aldermen voted in the vote authorizing the million and half for relief bond, but that money was to be expended, and the words there were fused to be-" It did not say to refund money 1 previously paid, and it didn't say that they were going to transfer money to the street department for salaries.

 In defense of the Kingsley aNdits (tlree members of the firm are op triaD, Seaman said, sFhe Kingsley audit reports indicate that these ad- ditiopal appropriations were aNr thorized by the board of aldermen and were supported by journal vou- chers and are recorded in the books. Isn't that correct?" sThey show the items in theiE reports" Brown said.
 "In other words the board ot aldermen performed an illegal act and the Kingsley audit reports set forth what transpiEed in accQrd- ance with the records2" "Ry showing the figures, yes agreed Brown. One of the numerous items Brown admitted should be taken from the "unidentified" columns af- ter Seaman had aided him, was fox $6,320, shown on the note teller'a sheet of the Waterbury Trust Com pany. Together with interest of | $74.8O, the item was $6,39480, Brown admitted that the $74ao was for interest and the charge to interest on floating debt was proper. He continued that the amount for purchase of voting machines was paid for in 1895, Incorrect, Admits Brown

Defense Attorney Had Forced His Admission
toontinued from Page D

| Seaman.
 ''No, don't" replied Brown.
 A lengthy computation followed, in which Seaman brought from Brown that the total amount spent between 1892 and la37 was $38,ssl,- 389.02. He also brought out that if the city employees had not taken the pay slashes the amount spent would have been Al GOA 4,344.9i, After more figured, he considered that er-expenditure would have been the same even if the pay slash- es had not been in effect.
 The deduction was that the amount of the pay slashes had been reduced from the appropriation therefore the over-expenditure would go no higher.
 With 8 triumphant gesture, Sea- man turned his back on Brown and cried, That's the point exactly. So 1t would not have been $5,s98, ,6l2.9 90 if the pay slashes had not been made?"
 Brown worked furiously on the witness stand with pencil and pa- per. His face flushed as he bent over his work.
 Finally he faced the exam iner and said quietly, Prom that angle, you are apparently correct"
 Seaman was not satisfied with that answer, however, and demand ed, T am correct as g matter oi fact, am I not?"
 "Yes," replied Brown.
 Seaman then brought from Browr admissions that the 28 per cen reduction in oyer-expenditures which he said had been effected by city pay slashes was incorrect.
 Brown admitted that such testi. mony was incorrect on the basis o. the latest disclosures.
 "That will have to go out2" askes Seaman.
 "Yes," answered Brown.
 The admission of the error va! a great victory for the defense ane the faces of the B men on tria were Wreathed in smiles as the tes. timony issued.
 Sinking Fund RelentlesSy, then, Seaman ham mered away at Brown, finally ob. taining from him an admission tha whether the transfers were madt from the sinking fund during th' year or at the end of the year, thu balance would be the same. Seaman contended that whether the transfers were made from thu sinking fund as the bills were re. ceived, or the bills allowed to ac. cumulate and paid at the end of thu year from the fund, made no dif' ference.
 Brown contended, however, that 1t would make a difference to ths extent that the fund should not bt used to pay current expenses. He agreed, however, that the balance would be the same whether the transfers were made during the veal or at the end.
 Minutes of the Board of Aldermen Finance and Sinking Fund commis' sioners. Seaman said, reflect author | ity for the transfers of funds from the fund.
 Brown stated, however, that il some cases Seaman had not broslgh out instances in which there ha< been no approval given for trans fers. He cited an item of $65 ,O0t

 Needed Assistance
 Although he admitted that Sev- |eral thousands of dollars listed by him as unidentified as the payee' had been Identified by Seaman Brown persisted that eff we had had the assistance of Olsen, there wouldn't be any unide flied payees.' He charged that Seaman was able to trace the payments only through the assistance of Carl D. Olsen former vice-president and treas urer of the Waterbury Trust Com pany.
 Brown was certain m the nora ing session that three checks issued by the city April ?, 1894, could moi be traced and had not been de posted. A deposit slip of the Wa terbury Trust Company, which ap- parently had been available to hin during the Investigation, was in troduced by Seaman showing that the $659.40 represented in ths checks had been deposited to the account of the widows and chil- dren's pension fund.
