FORTESCLE JURDRS SEEN DEADLOCKED JPON RAGAL LINES Seven Anglo-Saxons Leave Room to Deliberate Among Themselves. MAJORITY BELIEVED TO FAVOR ACQUITTAL Prosecution Turns Down Offer of Defense to Accept Split Verdict. By the Associated Press. HONOLULU, April 29.—Apparently deadlocked while defense and prosecu- tion engaged in a side maneuver, the 12 men striving for a verdict in the case ©of four persons accused of the lynching of Joseph Kahahawai carried on today after having given watchers a few tan- talizing glimpses of their jury room drama. The first brief tableau came late yes- terday after the case had been in the jurors’ hands nearly 24 hours. The seven jurors of Anglo-Saxon blood left the deliberation room to stand on & balcony while light rain was falling. The other five, three Chinese, & Portu- guese and an Hawaiian, Temained inside. For a few moments the seven con- versed, but they could not be overheard by the watchers. Except for the racial aspect of the act, observers found nothing significant in it. Jurors Appear Listless. Thereafter the jurors could be seen from a distance going to and fro in the yoom and moving to and from the bal- cony, but they exhibited no signs of heated debate and generally leaned list- lessly against the balcony rail. Late in the day Montgomery Winn of defense counsel expressed the belief the surors were standing either 11 to 1 or 10 to 2 for the defense, to Public Prosecutor John C. ley that he agree to a verdict on that basis. Kelley flatly rejected it. Subsequently, it was understood Winn's statement regarding the bal- loting was not based on definite infor- mation, but on‘:l; b;ne; ? allo&ty of the jurors favo the defendants. Ke’lley said he bad learned the re- sult of the first ballot, but he declined to share his information with news- p‘fipen. is balloting separately on each wflnt. Lieut. Thomas H. Mas- sie, U. 8.

The defense pleaded in behalf of Massie and touched on the unwritten law. ef Her ¢ourage not a whit diminished as the hours of suspense dragged by, Mrs. Fortescue was still cheerful. At a hotel where she and the other defend-| ants were waiting with her sister, Mrs. Helen Ripley, and her brother, Robert Bell, for a possible verdict, the accused soclety matron talked by telephone with this correspondent. Mrs. Fortescue expressed regret when asked for an interview, saying Clarence Darrow, chief of defense counsel, had forbidden it. In a steady voice she asked about reports from the jury room and was told of rumors that the jurors were standing 11 to 1 for acquittal. “It seems that I heard that some time ago,” she said, laughing cheerfully, Defendants Take Ride. ‘Whether far from or near to an agreement, the faces of the jurors thus far have given no sign. Their faces seemed to carry expressions of boredom as they filed down the winding stairs from the second floor of the judiciary building, where the jury room is lo- cated. Awaiting the outcome of their long trial, the four accused have been com- ing to town daily by automobile from | Pearl Harbor, 60 miles distant. Yesterday the defendants went auto- mobile riding. For the last two nights they have remained in the hotel until the jury was locked up and then re- turned to the naval base. At 10 o'clock last night, when they retired, the jurors had been out 29 hours and 40 minutes. They have asked no advice from Circuit Judge Charles S. Davis. Deliberations were to resume at 9 am.

ROOSEVELT BARES ROLE N BANK CAGE Defends Accused Official. Tells of Efforts to Avoid Closing. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 20— In a ses- sion marked by frequent and heated argument by counsel, Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt testified today as a defense witness in the trial of Joseph A. Broderick, State superintendent of banks. At one point, when the Governor asked permission to ask a question of Judge George L. Donnellan, presiding &t the trial, Max D. Steuer, special Pprosecutor, replied: “No, no, no. It is absolutely im- proper to deliver a lecture in the form of a question to try to fritter away the people’s case.” Judge Donnellan offered to excuse the jury while the Governor asked the question, i Steuer wished that. The prosecutor refused, and said if Judge Donnellan wished to exclude the jury that would be a different matter. The Martin Conboy; defense his questioning.

At one point, the Governor, speaking emphatically and raising his voice to shut out Steuer’s protests, declared that the banks of the State were under the Joint jurisdiction of “myself and the superintendent of banks.” one of the many arguments Steuer and Conboy accused each other of trying to put the Governor on trial, rather than Broderick. Conferences Bared. ‘What was considered by the defense as the most important part of the Gov- ernor's testimony was his statement that a possible merger of the Bank of United States was discussed at a con- ference of bankers in his home, 49 East Sixty-fifth street, early in Octo- ber, 1930, and that to his knowledge the attempts to bring about a merger continued from that time until the night of December 10, 1930. That was the night before the bank was closed by Broderick’. order. ‘The Governor arrived at the court house under motor cycle escort and was greeted with cheers by the crowds in_the corridors. The prosécution has not finished its case against Broderick, but Gov. Roose- velt was permitted to testify at this point so that he might clear up this task before leaving for Warm Springs, Ga Gov. Roosevelt said in reply to a question by Conboy that from the Autumn of 1929 Broderick was con- ferring with bankers in an attempt to bring about a merger “The Governor hasn't said that he was present at any of these confer- ences or I nows about them of his own knowledge,” St uer protested. “I re- spectfully submit, your honor, that no other person would be permitted to testify in that way.” Judge Donnellan upheld the objection, undwslku" added: “We're not trying the Governor at this time.” e “I'm not so sure of that, maybe we are,” said Conboy. “That's exactly what counsel is try- ing to bring about,” said Steuer, “Not this counsel, but maybe others,” Conboy retorted. Uses Forceful Tone. Gov. Roosevelt turned to the judge, used earlier when he declared the banks of the State were under the joint juris- diction of “myself and the superintend- ent of banks attempted to say that the Governor of the State had a duty to perform in his official capacity in connection with the banking depart- ment, and, therefore, should be permit- ted to testify. “Stop,” Steuer shouted repeating the word several times. It was at this point that Gov. Roose- velt asked permission to ask a question of the judge. On Steuer's objection, the Governor was not permitted to testify about the detalls of conferences at which the merger of the Bank of the United States was discussed. There Were two separate merger plans, Gov. Roosevelt testified. The first was to merge the Bank of the United States with the Bank of Man- hattan, and the second was to merge it with a group including the Public ! National Bank and the Manufacturers’ Trust Co., and, later in these negotia- tions, the International Trust Co. ‘The condition of Representative John J.

SHANGHAI China, April 29.—Five and diplomatic officials were critically wounded today when a bomb burst among them as they sat in a reviewing stand watching a military parade in honor of the birthday anniversary of Emperor Hirohito. All of them were in serious condi- tion tonight, but the doctors thought they had a chance to recover. Japanese troops appeared in the streets of the Hongkew district imme- | diately, resuming the military patrol, which was withdrawn after the fight- ing in this area stopped two months ago. No one knew what the effect of this incident would be on the long- drawn-out peace parleys between the Chinese and Japanese, but it appeared certain that these negotiations would suffer. Suspect Beaten Severely. A mob of spectators swirled about the | man some one spotted as the bomb| thrower and beat him severely before the police broke through and dragged him away. Later the military authorities said they had wrung a confession from a Korean that he was the man who threw the bomb. Six other men, said to be Chinese, also were under investigation. The most seriously injured Japanese | official was Mamoru Shigemitsu, the Japanese Minister to China, who may lose one of his legs. A minor operation was performed immediately after he reached the hospital, but he was ex-| pected to recover.

The bomb was a powerful hand grenade, the military officials said. Immediately after it landed ‘wooden structure to bits and creating wild confusion in the crowd, the military authorities threw a strict military patrol around Hongkew Park for a radius of two miles. Hun- dreds of persons, Japanese and foreign- ers alike, were searched. Military officials expressed the opinion that the incident probably would result in a drastic tightening of Sino-Jap- anese relations here, although they declined to predict what steps would be taken. Among the suspects arrested by the Japanese after the bombing was W. S. Hibbard, an American employe of the government of the International Set- tlement. ‘They took him to military headquar- ters, where his legs and hands were bound with ropes, he said, and e was subjected to a_severe questioning ! for three hours.

BOSTON, April 29.—The State Board handed down a decision calling for a reduction of 10 per cent in the wages| paid Brockton shoe workers. Manufacturers in Brockton several weeks ago notified the employes of an impending 15 per cent. The employes and manufacturers then agreed to sub- mit the matter to the board. In its decision the board said it felt that some wage reduction was neces- sary, but not the full amount asked. “As to the day prices,” the decision said, “the board has made a 10 per cent reduction with a proviso, however, that no weekly rate shall be reduced below $14.40 (based on a 48-hour week) and with the further proviso that there shall be no reduction in the weekly rates of $14.40 or under.” Tanker Missing at Sea.

GENEVA, April 29 (#).—Several bankers here reported to the federal authorities at Berne yesterday that they had discovered a number of United States bank notes bearing the numbers of some of those paid in ransom for the kidnaped Lindbergh baby, but it was established today that they were mistaken. All banks had been asked to watch for notes within certain series of serial numbers, but these series included a great many notes which were not in the ransom payment. The notes which were found here were within the series, but when police examined the list in detall, they assured themselves none cf the notes was part of the ransom money.

After a hectic day session, the mem- bers returned last night to rally against efforts to wipe out the remains of the 11 per cent cut on motion of Chairman | Connery of the Labor Committee and defeated it by a vote of 183 to 84.
