tell room, but that evidence
showed the Buckleys had occu-
pied a Detroit hotel that night,
and later stayed at a different
hotel in Lansing.
He declared Hemans had mis-
taken'v recalled association in
1887 with men who were not in
the legislature until 1889, and
had sought to put the blame"
for some discrepancies upon for
mer State Representative John
F. Hamilton, of Detroit, who is
not a defendant and who has not
testified in this case. A grand
jury investigating state govern
ment has given Hamilton i'm
munity from prosecution.
Hemans, Fitzgerald told the
jurors, had the effrontery and
audacity to tell us that you
can't get legislation without
paying for it; that legislators
shook him down; that he had TO
pay ransom"
SMART-UNSCRUPULOUS?
He's a very smart man, and
very INSCRIPTIONS man." Fitz-
gerald asserted. ITO save him
self, he wouldn't hesitate to
point the finger of suspicion at
anyone. You are dealing with
dangerous person."
He said Hemans told of having
been ordered by the army to
come to Michigan land tell the
truth" to help clean up govern
ment, but the fact he has been
granted immunity by the grand
jury showed he refused to an
swer questions which might in
criminate him without the prom
Use of immunity, and that if this
were true, what became of his
order to tell the TRUTH"
Fitzgerald said he would leave
it to counsel for the finance men
to explain the testimony of Ern-
est ]. Prev, former vice presi-
dent of the General Finance
Corporation of Detroit, who has
pleaded guilty to the conspiracy
warrant, that he and the other
finance officials conspired 10

Harry H. Partlow, another of
the legislative defendants at
torneys, asserted testimony of
Hemans and Joseph c. Roose-
welt, Hemans' assistant, did not
match, and was subject TO such
suspicion by the jury it should
be disregarded.
Frank G.. Schemanske, an
other of the legislator defend

of first testifying that he never

former Detroit legislator now
serving prison sentence on a
perjury charge, then changing

George can't forget the &C.
countrements Of his former
vocation.
The other day, we hear, he
spent several hours tediously
slicing dough and filling it with
jelly to make "Bismarks" or
jelly doughnuts for the hungry
officers and men. The longer
he worked, the more he realized
that there should be faster way
of doing the job.
In a few minutes a "brain"
wave" hit George, and his
Ianky figure could be seen
striding to the engineering Of
flee to get quart size grease
gun new one out of
stock Those jelly dough-
nuts were going to be made by
mass production.
M/Sgt. Pointer had a special
chamber for the grease gun cast
in the Air Forces foundry and
machined smooth in the shop.
Then, using parts from the regu-
lar gun, old propeller hubs and
brake drums, he fashioned a
contrivance which on its trial
run filled 700 doughnuts in Is
minutes, a chore which used to
consume several hours of sticky
work. The jelly-doughnut
gun Shoots" so doughnuts
without a refill and the
filling is not a skinny one,
George reports.

kitchen Is nothing new to
Pointer, who had served in 22
mess halls before being as
signed to the officers mess at
the ATC base. He de-
signed and constructed five
coal-burning stoves from gas
line drums (again the Texa-
c0-Goodar influence)
and placed them in operation
at ATC bases in Assam.
Only one stove failed to
work because Jap planes
strafed it.
Pointer is serving his third
hitch in the army in % years.
From 1922 to '25 he was sta
toned in the Philippine Is
lands. From 1926 to '27
he served at Selfridge, and re-
enlisted again in January 1912.
He has been overseas since

NELSON WINNER

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5-Byron Nelson jumped back into the role of mechanical man of golf" by winning the 72-hole San Francisco Open Tournament with a 28l score that nosed out Sgt. Jim Terrier, soldier sensation of the links, by one stroke.
 Terrier was leader at the half way mark, after the third round. At the sixty-third hole he faltered on the final nine. It was only a slight slip, but big enough for his straight-shooting rival, who was matched with him, man to man, the two being paired in the same threesome.
