Pay 5% to Get $7,000,000 3» 'M H x l ’1» , . l s, and . BEFENDER MAX D. STEUER. As promised by United States At- torney Buckner at the opening of the trial Wednesday. Merton dually testified yesterday that he did pay $441,000 in 1921 for hlep in obtain- ing the repayment of 87.000.000 frOm the United States Treasury for securities of the American Metal Company seized in 1918 as German property after the United States went into the World War. Hired King as “Commisioaer.” But when Merton reached that part of his story yesterday he de- scribed the 3441.000 as a "commiso sion" and said he thought it would have been two or three times as large if he had hired a lawyer in- stead of John T. King. now dead. Merton testified that he retained King as a commissioner "to bring me to the proper people where 1 might get a friendly hearing and be told how best to Kresent my claim." He said he paid King s. 850.000 re- tainer during the negotiations and GO TO CHURCH TOMORROW IN SPOTLIGHT or “CRAFT” TRIAL ] ' PROSECUTOR I _ | ‘WITNESS left, and exqiudge B. S. Johnstone. on a sliding scale starting at 5 per to zero if the claim was held up more than a month later. According to Merton's story, six months elapsed between his arrival promised a commission at the end here and the payment of his 87.000,- ”Col. Thomas W. Miller, center. with his ocunscl. Col. William Rand, cent if the 87.000.000 claim was paid! in the fall of 1921, and diminishing at all. 000 claim on Sept. 30. 1921. and in that time he did not meet Daugherty His only meetings with Miller dur- lag that time, he testified. were at the beginning and the end of the transaction. At the beginning he EMORé Ii. BUCKNER ler to George B. Williams. chief as- sistant in the alien custodian‘s of- fice. "Miller said he himself was too recently appointed to be able to tell me enough about the routine." Merton said. After that Merton had two lengthy conversations with Wil- liams about the proper way to pre- pare his claim papers. Brought Treasury Checks He did not meet Miller again. he testified until the Allen Custodian came to New York. Sept. 30. bring- ing United States Treasury checks in payment of the 87.000.000 claim. “He came in person." Morton said, "so King told me. or maybe it was Smith. because the receipts required by the Government were complicat. ed and the Government was particu- lar about red tape and Mr. Miller wanted to he sure they would be properly made out.” When Merton reached the end of his direct testimony by telling how he paid the promised 5 per cent memo man; my William S. Band. on behalf of the former Allen Property Custodian. moved to strike out all Berton's tea- timony as having no connection shown with Miller. And Max Steuer. on behalf of Daugherty, added; "Of course. it does not even pretend to have any connection with my client." Prosecutor Buckner was on his feet demanding attention. He told the court and the jury heatedly: “We do not expect to be able to prove private conversations between Miller and his first lieutenant Wil- liams in his private office with the door locked and the shades pulled down. Merton was turned over to Williams by Miller and shortly it will be proved Williams was in the con- splracy." Must Prove Conspiracy Mr. Rand said: "But there must be actual knowledge chargeable to Miller. If you do succeed in show. ing Williams. his assistant. con- spired to arrange the record of this claim so as to conceal material facts. and if you she Williams went wrong. you cann blame Miller." Judge Mack: “That is true oi course. Unless the conspiracy is "commission" to John ’1‘.
