DAUGHERTY TRIAL RESUMES MONDAY Payment Justlfied, May Be Part of Delense New York, Sept. 11 (A — One defense indicated in cross examina- tion of the chief witness against former Attorney Generai Harry M Daugheriy and former Alien Prop- | erty Custodian Thomas W. Miller | for accepting a $291,000 bribe is| that payment of $7,000,000 to Ger- man claimants was justified. Documents which secured the money from the American treasury were perfectly truthful, Richard Merton, German copper magpate and former army captain, testified vesterday. They showed that Ger- man owners of a seized 49 per cent of steck in the Amerfcan Metal company had transferred their claim to the Soci Suisse Pour Valeurs Des Metaux, he declared. | They did not reveal, however, that A majority of the stock in this cor- poration of a neutral country was German owned. Two checks, gaid Mr. Merton | direct examination, for $3,500 and $2,853,622 were delivered to him in his New York hotel room by Mr. Miller. Because of the pro- hibition law he did not know where to get drinks for his guests at a dinner he gave in celebration, so |he got the late John T. King, then |republican national committeeman Itor Cennecticut, to get two botties lof champagne for him.

The prosecution has not vet con- | nected Miller with the alleged bribe, torneys have objected to much of \mmns testimony as irrelevent, as admitted on Mr. assurance that the connection would be established. In his out- line of proposed evidence Mr. Buck- ner told of checks that were traced from King to Miller and Daugherty and to the Midland Natjonal bank Court House, Daugherty, brother attorney general, Daugherty or of which Mal of the former was president. Mr. Merton will continue on the stand when the trial is resumed Monday FONCK WILL ATTEMPT T0 MAKE ALTITUDE RECORD Plans Next Week to Try for Helght | and Speed With Maximum Useful Toad. N. Y., Sept. 11 (P — e Fonck, French ace, will attempt next week lish an official world's record altitude and speed with maximum load in the Sikorsky in which he hopes to make a non-stop flight from New Yor to Paris, Igor Sikors and builder of the Mineola Captain F plane, an- ! nounces, Mr, Sikorsky made the announce- | srranged introductions for him, and Jess 8imth, Daugherty’s right hand Iman who shared in the negotia- tions. After dinner the others asked Merton to go out but “I did not go ot, because, having $7,000,000 in my pocket, I did not feel like going oyt.” Next day, said Merton, he gave Mr. King $391,000 in Liberty bonds from a block of $544,000 paid on the claim, as commission for f rilitating the negotiations. Pre- [viously, he said .he had paid Mr. IKing a $50,000 retalner. The German magnate declared Tis reason for employing the Con cticut politician rather than a lawyer to represent him was be- cause of a fear that a lawyer would “cause action to be delayed | trans-A |tinue his {Britain boys will go to the un for years {n the courts and would | cost too much. “However,” he had explained to Mr. ng, “T don't want you to, I am not wanting to for what value I receive in the of services, but I am afraid of lawyers.” Speed, he sald, was essentfal to saving the Merton Con-lLe\'ine‘ ment when I'onck landed at Roose- | velt field at 6:05 o'cloek last eve- ning on his return fiight from Washington.
