The state _res fiat eatnea ‘ith bombing jarmer art wi ym bin: the Pleasant Valley schoo! house. Ottawa, Ill, March 1—)— Guns of the defense counsel were concentrated today for an attack on the confession of Hiram Reed that he dynamited the schoolhouse where Tola Bradford, his former sweet- heart, taught, in an attempt to kill her, Beaten in a three day court bat- tle in the absence of the jury to bar the confession as evidence in Reed’s trial, George Springer, of defense counsel, set out to convince the jurors that the document was obtained under duress, by promises of the state’s attorney for immunity to Reed, and by promises that Miss Bradford, who soon is to become a mother, would avoid publicity. Circuit Judge Frank Hayes ruled that the confession could be intro- duced as evidence. Hanson has three confessions, only the first of which is signed by Reed and contains the immunity clause. Reed yesterday took the stand during the argument and told of his arrest after the explosion. He said he was forced to go all night with- out food, that he was exhausted when he signed the confession, and that he signed it only after Han- son had promised him it would not be used if he married Miss Brad- ford. The State's Motive The motive the state seeks to es-|P tablish for Reed’s alleged crime is his unwillingness to become a hus- band and father. On the stand yesterday Reed, avoiding the gaze of his former sweetheart, denied repeatedly that he was responsible for the tragedy on November 29, when Miss Brad- ford was injured severely in the blast. For the first time, Hiram’s father, Neon op ree inert eg fares trial mee te sitt ide his son. Miss Bradford's mother, white-haired, sat beside her. Neither parent looked at the other.

Flexible Clause of Tariff Law Attacked Washington, March 1.— (AP) — The flexible provision of the tariff law, under which the president is authorized to raise or lower duties to equalize the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad, was assailed as unconstitutional to- day in the supreme court by J. W. Hampton, Jr., and company, New York importers. They attacked it as an invalid delegation by congress of its ecx- clusive right to impose custom duties.
