Spoken Testimony
Missing as Sedition
Jury Sees Exhibits
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES,

The sedition trial, which during
its seven months has brought nearly
every legal situation possible to a
courtroom, achieved something new
yesterday mute session.
After these months of wordy
hours, the transcript disclosed today
that not syllable of spoken testi-
mony was given yesterday and that
the heavy, unprecedented silence
was broken by only few words from
the bench, announcing the neces-
sary formalities of recesses and ad-
journment and stray tilt between
counsel toward the close.
Now" remarked a weary attorney
as the curious day ended, I've seen
everything"
Examine Exhibits.
The session was devoted to the
examination of Government exhibits
by the jury. These included lengthy
bulletins of the American National
ist Confederation. self-styled Fas-
cist party which was headed by
George E. Deatherage, q defendant
and other documents. Correspond
ence attributed to other defendants
was among the papers which the
jurors read.
1t looked as if the day would pass
without word spoken by counsel
on either side But just before ad-
tournament, Ethelbert B. Frey, at
torney for Robert E. Edmondson
suggested that the record show with
which exhibits the jury had beer
occupied for five hours.
Prosecutor Rogge said the record
Of the previous day already dis
closed that.
Il don't know what Mr.. Rogge has
produced" Mr.. Frey objected. eve
should know"
Implication Expunged.
Il don't conduct cases that way
Mr.. Rogge retorted. Maybe you do >
Chief Justice Edward c. Eicher
expunged Mr.. Frey's implication
from the record and court was ad-
journed for the day.
The session was marked by the
return of Mrs. Lois de Lafayette
'Washburn, a defendant, who had
been absent, with the courts per-
mission, for something like three
months. Mrs. Washburn has had a
job which prevented her from at
tending the trial. Frank w. Clark
another defendant who has been
away for month for a similar rea-
son, also was back for the day. The
two took their old seats beside their
attorney, Ira Chase Koehne.
Apples for Defendants.
Mrs. Washburn had bag of
apples for Hans Diebel, another of
the rs alleged conspirators on trial
Diebel passed around the apples to
other defendants.
The last Government witness,
Henry D. Allen, completed his testi-
mony Monday night. Mr.. Rogge did
not announce who the next witness
would be, but he was expected to
identify today some new exhibits.

UNIONS DEMANDS

e sf f.
The Chrysler unions had asked
that the corporation be ordered
10 establish an unemployment
contin gency fund equal TO
amounts purportedly set aside by
the company for other postwar
contingencies.
The corporation opposed the
proposition, declaring that Con-
gress alone has authority to pass
such legislation.
On two other union proposals
prior mutual agreements on rates
of pay for new work and elimina-
ton of interracial wage differen-
tials between corporation plants
the board ruled the issues were
decided by the national board in
October. 1912, and warrant no
different decisions now.
REQUEST REJECTED
A request that employees be
locked only for actual time lost,
instead of by minimum 15-minute
Intervals, was not granted. The
board pointed out that the en-
ploye has a right to refrain from
work during the period for which
he is penalized.
With few exceptions, the board
said the unions claims for rate
increases or higher rated classifi-
cations could not be sustained in
the light of wartime sterilization
policies.
