Stock Prices Mixed,
With Activity Slow;
Changes Again Small
BY the Assoeioted Pres.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The
stock market tried to gain ground
today but the gains and losses re-
mained evenly mixed.
Activity slowed considerable
after a moderately poppy opening
and in most cases the price
changes continued small.
Among the exceptions on the
advancing side were General Elec-
trio and Westinghouse, each of
which stepped ahead around a
point at times.
Traders pointed out, too, that
these are companies which will
benefit by any elimination Of ex-
cess profits taxes.
Excepting for few issues. price
changes were small in about
every category and while all
groups showed an inclination to
advance If given half chance,
they were unable to make any real
headway.
Among the chemicls, Eastman
Kodak, Union Carbide and Du
Pont held to their. early small ad-
vances. And Air Reduction and
Allied Chemical had equally small
losses.
Traders were not particularly
disturbed over the declines at re-
cent sessions. They felt they were
normal corrections after the sue
cession Of advances after the pres
idential election.
Among the gamers were Sears
Roebuck. Caterpillar, Consolidated
Natural Gas. American Can, Union
Pacific and Nickel Plate.
The losers included Anaconda
Kennecott Copper, Santa Fe, Cult
Oil and U. S. Gypsum.
On the bond market, corporate
issues were scramble of small
gains and equally small losses
Governments were fairly steady.

Prosecution Is JoIted
BY Testimony That
Carnes Carried Gun

Testimony that had not come
out at the former trial of Luther
r. Weakley. so, charged with
f1rst-degree murder in the slay-
ing of his employer. jolted the
prosecution yesterday. during re-
trial of the case.
Raymond Turner, an old friend
of Weakley, called as a Govern
ment witness, testified under
cross-examination that, on the
morning of the Staying, Weakley
had told him the employer,
Thomas G. Carnes, 43, carried a
gun.
Prosecutor Surprised.
Prosecutor Martin j. McNarama
claimed surprise, changing the
status of Mr.. Turner to that of a
hostile witness.
Mr.. Carnes was shot to death
in his Office at the Blue Plate
Foods Co., in the 800 block of
F street NE, in May. 1850. The
Staying followed the firing of
Weakley from his job as sales
man. At his first trial, Weakley
had testified the gun went of
during a tussle which followed
threats by Mr.. Carnes.
Conviction Set Aside.
Weakley was convicted, but the
conviction was set aside by the
u. S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia on the
grounds that the trial jury had
received faulty instructions from
the judge.
The new trial is being held be-
fore Judge Burnita S. Matthews
and a jury in the U. S. District
Court for the District Of Columbia,
Judge Matthews has under ad-
visement motions by Defense At
torney James j. Laughlin for a
mental examination OF the de-
fendant. Weakley was described
in affidavits as suffering from
melancholia, following the death
of a son before the Staying.
