DAVIDSONAUTOPSY FINDINGS SECRET Move to Find if Lawyer Was Stabbed in Back, Officer Says. S8trict secrecy today surrounded the findings of & second autopsy on the body of Elmer J. Davidson, performed » month after the 52-year-old Wash- ington lawyer was found shot and atabbed to death beside a lonely road in Stafford County, Va. Commonwealth Attorney Gus Wal- Iace of Stafford County said he un- derstood the autopsy was ordered to discover whether there were any knife wounds in Davidson’s back: None eoncerned in the investigation would eonfirm this officially or discfose who arranged for the exhumation. The body, disinterred yesterday for the post-mortem examination by Dis- trict Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald at the S. H. Hines Co. funeral parlors, was to be returned to its grave in Rock Creek Cemetery today. Dr. | McDonald, explaining that he had| been engaged to perform the autopsy in a private capacity, would not com- ment on the case. He worked on the body for more than two hours yesterday and said his report would be completed today. Ross Case to Go to Jury. ‘The surprise development came as Virginia authorities announced they were ready to present evidence to the Stafford County grand jury Monday against Walter J. Ross, 17-year-old marine, who, according to Virginia State Police Sergt. E. J. McDermott, has admitted killing Davidson in self- defense. Sergt. McDermott said “my case is eomplete” and denied that he arranged for the second autopsy on Mr. David- son’s body, although he was present at the autopsy. The Health Department issued & permit for disinterment of the body on an application signed by Mrs. Laura Dow, sister of the slain man. She referred all inquiries on the matter to Sergt. McDermott. Cuts in Clothing. Mr. Wallace said he understood in- vestigators recently had found cuts in the back of Mr. Davidson’s cloth- ing, which indicated he might have been stabbed in the back. In the autopsy performed shortly after his death the back of his body was not examined, Mr. Wallace said, and dis- * ‘closed stab wounds only in the chest. The prosecuting attorney said that if knife wounds were found in Mr. Da- vidson's back the evidence would re- fute young Ross’ asserted contention that the slain lawyer was stabbed only in a struggle for possession of a knife with which Ross claimed he was $hreatened. Mr. Wallace said he expected to eonfer with Dr. MacDonald later and # would depend on his findings ‘whether he would be summoned as a witness in Ross’ trial should the young marine be indicted next week.

Advance for Funds. By the Asseciated Presp. The administration came to the aid today of corn growers disturbed by low prices and arranged to finance 1937 corn loans at the rate of 44 to 50 cents a bushel. The loans, similar to those made by the A. A. A, in previous years, will be handled by the Commodity Credit Corp. with & $75,000,000 advance from the Reconstruction Finance Corp. Secretary Wallace announced late yesterday the necessary funds are available. President Roosevelt had re- quested Chairman Jesse H. Jones of the R. F. C. to supply them. Borrowers will be limited to those farmers who complied with the 1937 soil conservation program and within specified “corn limit areas.” Corn Belt Areas. These areas are Illinois and Iowa and parts of Indiana, Minnesota, Mis- souri, Nebraska, Ohio, souzh Dakota and Wisconsin. “It is expected that the operation of the corn loan program in the corn limit areas, where corn surpluses are involved,” Wallace said, “will provide & more orderly system of marketing and prevent the glutting of corn mar- kets early in the marketing season when corn prices usually are low. ““The program also will enable farm- ers to obtain credit on the corn they have produced and still carry the supply on their farms where most of it will be used eventually.” Inspection Planned. Official State sealers will inspect the farmer’s corn in his crib, take samples for moisture content and seal the cribs until such time as the corn is released for use—which in most cases will be to feed live stock. The amount of the loan will depend on the quality, or moisture content, with a top of 50 cents a bushel for corn of 14, per cent moisture and a low of 44 cents for 20 per cent. Farm leaders had suggested a flat 60-cent loan. The loans will bear 4 per cent in- terest. Chairman Jones of the R. F. C. said they may be made by banks and other lending agencies “with the def- inite understanding that the Com- modity Credit Corp. will take them up on demand, at any time prior to Sep- tember 30, 1938, at par and accrued interest at the rate of 2!, per cent.” .@ ESTABLISHED 1865 @ JUST SUPPOSE Your Motometer Lied You would stop wsing it, wouldn’t you?
