Hamlin, Boston stock broker, who de- seribed to the jury how Nathan L. Am- | p, ster, financier, quailed before the threats of Olga Edwards, faced cross-examina- tion today in Miss Edwards trial for extorting money from Amster.

He said he was present when Amster ed an agreement establishing a $100,000 truht fund for the support and education of Miss Edwards’ son.

So John Roth, who ran the post office and was neral store, the llage notary—the “King of Banat"—is coming back to straighten out affairs. “Banat always was peaceful,” Roth says. “Now look at it—on the front pages of the newspapers with a village feud and an incendiary fire.
