D. {. Lawyer Denies
Plot 10 Sneak Plane
Parts Into Poland

BALTIMORE. Mar. 9.-The
Government continued its case
here today against Henry Lloyd
Knight, Washington attorney
and businessman. who is charged
with conspiring to violate the
neutrality law by sneaking air.
plane parts into Poland through
the Iron Curtain.
Knight. originally from Eureka
Springs, Ark, denied the charge
as the trial opened yesterday.
His attorney. Hilary w. Cans,
said Knight was victim of
people who double crossed him"
Mr.. Cans declared that
Knights sales agent in Paris,
and more recently of Montevideo,
Uruguay, Philippe Louis Marie
Charles DeBourbon. engineered
the deal for spare parts for
transport planes going to Poland.
Claiming that DeBourbon
turned out to be "a traitor to
himself, to Air Union, Inc; to
Knight and to his country" Mr..
Cans told the jury of five house
wives and seven men that Knight
knew nothing of the deal.
Knight and Air Union, the
firm he set up in Washington
and Bethesda. Md, to do a
SIS million business in surplus
war supplies. were indicted in
November of 1852 for shipping
$4,000 worth of plane parts to
Poland in the latter half of 1949
DeBourbon is scheduled to
appear as the main Government
witness in a day or two.
Federal Court officials said II
was the first prosecution they
know of under the neutrality law

Seneca Lake Oil
0srea Develops
Into ''Big" Field
Two More Producers
Come In With Daily
Output Of 80 Barrels

Two good producing wells
have been added to the growing
list in the Seneca Lake area this
past weekend. They are on lots
owned by Helen Marsh and
Marian Milligan, where Driller
Irwin Burns and Son of Seneca
vile, came in with a 90-odd bar
rels day well, and John Shep-
herd struck a so barrels a day
well.
There are thousands of acres
now leased for oil drilling since
last fall. 1t was then that Shep-
herd made a strike on the
Swan lease near Seneca Lake.
Daily recovery has reached ap-
proximately 500 barrels.
Prospecting thus far has been
limited to the shallow formation
450 to 750 feet down. "Pay" has
been found in three or four
structures within that depth.
The comparatively low cost of
finding this oil has been one of
the stimulating factors in the
search to date.
There is no way of knowing
exactly how long the shallow
wells will continue to produce
but the Quaker State Oil Co. has
acquired a large block of acre

March of 1852. According to the
case file, the original lease stated
that Landaker should be paid
100000 and royalties on coal
taken from these premises
would be 25 cents per ton. A sup
Elemental lease between them
later reduced advance royalties
to $1,000. Bruins claimed that
another supplemental lease stat
ed that royalties would be paid
only after the total of $4,000 tons
of coal would be removed. Land
aker claimed $1,079.00 denying
any supplemental lease, through
his attorney, E. P. McGinnis.
The $1,079.00 claimed by
Landaker represented royalties
on coal, in the amount of
l3,317.33 tons, that Bruins has
mined and removed.
The jury ruled in favor of
Bruins, whose attorney is L. c.
Young. Bruins claims he yet has
11,518.15 tons of coal to remove
from the premises before addi-
tional royalties are required, ac-
cording to the last lease allied
gedly drawn up.
The plaintiff also wants a
cancellation of the lease between
himself and the coal company.
This is being heard in court, be-
ginning Wednesday.
Five witnesses were heard in
all in Tuesdays session and petit
jurors were the following:
Ord Marks, Hubert Watson,
Orval Dye, Mamie Miller, Gar
field Danford, Alva Shuman,

$47,366.25 Paid
On Real Estate
Tax Collection
Unless Extension Is
Granted, Books Will
Close Next Saturday

Treasurer A. Ralph Hicks has
collected SAT, ,366.25 in real estate
taxes for Noble county since the
tax books opened the latter part
of January according to a check
of the records.
Treasurer Hicks said today
that the books will close on Sat-
urday, Feb. 20, unless an exten-
sion is granted by the state board
of tax appeals. He has asked
that they be given this extension
until Monday, March 1st and in
all probability it will be granted.
But property owners are urged
to not delay in paying their
taxes as the books will close
next Saturday, in the event an
extension is not forthcoming.
After the books are closed,
they are turned over to Auditor
Gilbert B. Long for settlement
and those unpaid are marked
delinquent.
Just when the courthouse Of
ficials plan to make public list
of the delinquent taxes in this
county is yet very problematical,
in spite of the fact that the state
department has been on their
neck for several years.
Taxes now being collected rep
resent the first half of 1853 but
this is the heaviest collection
since many pay the entire year
at this time.
Treasurer Hicks, who has been
doing an excellent job in this
capacity since taking over il
October, said that the Caldwell
plant, CGB, paid taxes on their
real estate in the amount OF
| $4,577.00. This represents only
| the one-half year. The General
Telephone company paid their
| taxes in the amount of $922.0C
for one-half year.
Perhaps one of the largest
payers of real estate tax in the
county is the Ohio Power COM
pany, Cambridge.
