A moment before resting, Federal Judge M. M. Joyce denied two mo- tions of Mortimer Boutell of Minne- apolis, of counsel for the defense, that Alvin Karpis and Charles Fitzgerald, two admitted kidnap conspirators, be compelled to testify as government witnesses. \ Mrs. Georgette Winkler, widow of Gus Winkler, slain Capone leutenant, testified Wednesday that Peifer told her she need not worry about coming to St. Paul with her husband “because we have police protection there.” Backs Up Bolton Byron Bolton, ace government wit- ness who pleaded guilty in the Hamm and Edward G. Bremer kidna| previously had tetstified that Tom Brown, former police chief and mem- ber of the Hamm kidriaping detail, had shared in the $100,000 ransom for reporting the activities of the police department to the Barker-Karpis gang. Bolton also testified that Peifer received $10,000, Events leading up to division of the $100,000 Hamm ransom were brought out by the government as it placed one of its principal witnesses, Edna Murray, the “kissing bandit,” on the stand Tuesday. Mrs. Murray, now serving a 25 year term in Missouri prison for a holdup, answered ull questions put to her by George F. Sullivan, United States dis- trict attorney, concerning the move- ments of the Barker-Karpis gang which engineered the abduction of the brewer on June 15, 1933. Split Ransom at Lake A cottage at Long Lake, Ill, 48 miles from Chicago, where the government claims the ransom money was “cut,” was the center of testimony by both Mrs. Murray and Mrs. Kathleen Per- kins, Chicago, owner of the Long Lake cottage. Mrs. Murray’s testimony was brought out to corroborate statements of Bolton that the money was “split up” at the Long Lake cottage where, he testified, “$25,000 was set aside” for Tom Brown, former chief of police, and $10,000 for Peifer, in addition to $7,800 for each member of the gang and smaller sums for several other persons.

The two federal agencies set up to handle the economic security program are working “hand in hand,” Tug-, well said, to meet the present emer- fate funds are being families for subsistence, the Resettle- ment administration has available for its complete program only $85,500,000 allotted from security funds but has appropriations totaling $1,500,000,000 with the Works Progress administra- tion handling the greater portion of the remaining funds. Being Taken Off Dole “As quickly as WPA projects are set up, farmers will be turned over from Resettlement emergency drouth relief lists,” Tugwell said, “placing them on a more permanent program of works relief instead of a dole. “The WPA program is getting un- der way as rapidly as possible to meet the situation. Until sufficient proj-' ects are set up td’care for those need- ing relief, the Resettlement adminis- tration will provide subsistence grants.” ‘The huge livestock feeding program to care for foundation herds of farm- ers will be in operation within 4 short, time, Tugwell said. At every crossroads, Tugwell was met by WPA and Resettlement of- ficlals of South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana, as he continued his) tour of inspection of the hard-hit) drouth region.

They BOWS BEFORE KING Grandeur of Former Ceremony Is Missing Out of Respect for Dead London, July 21.—()—Debutantes made their curtsies Tuesday at King Edward's garden court in the grounds of Buckingham palace. With Britain's royal family in half mourning for King George, there could be none of the grandeur of for- mal presentation in the white and gold ballroom for the debs of 1936. Only the colors of the flowers vied with the women’s dresses, for the men, from the king downwards, wore iy tail coats and shining silk ats, Probably this year’s debutantes were the first ever to make their curtsy on the close-cropped grass of the palace lawns; certainly they were the first to pay homage to a sovereign dressed in mufti. At evening courts the king always appears in full-dress uniform. As each deb stepped forward to where the king sat under the red and gold silk canopy of the Durbar tent, the lord chamberlain called her name. Five hundred presentations were made. A similar number will be made when the second and last reception is held Wednesday.
