; Judge Coshow was on the stand
when court opened this morning
and was being cross-examined by
Goldstein. The morning session
was taken up by the examination
of Judge Coshow by defense and
state attorneys and rebuttal wit
nesses were nqt brought In until
the afternoon session. On cross
examination. Judge Coshow ex
plained why his subscription note
was made tor fire years when the
ethers were for three years. Be
said that he had asked that jit
run for five years so he could
meet the obligation. He stated
that he did not know for some
time that the other officers bad
paid for their stock with notes.
Devoted Most of - - -
Time to Company i
Goldstein asked Coshow if he
demoted his time to the Empfre
Holding corporation and he re-
plleded "substantially so."
Goldstein also asked if he
meant cash or securities by his
statement in a letter of "I hare
820,000 invested." Judge Coshow
replied, "No, or the sentence re
ferring to the rate of 7 per cent In
terest would not have been includ
ed."
iThe defense introduced Co-
show's testimony that he had
$7000 In some buildtir and loan
company and that at one time he
had tried to withdraw this to pay
on his note to the Empire. This
was Introduced to show his good
- faith In his subscription, but Co
show said that, owing to the hard
times at that particular time, he
had been unable to get this
tooney.
j Coshow was questioned by both
' state and defense attorneys re
garding bis salary contract and
the contracts of the others but bis
testimony on this was the same as
In his direct examination. He al
so told of the practice of having
bis secretary listen In on phone
alls until certain that he had
fteard them. Coshow said that he
thought he had the letters taken
from the files in November, 1931,
and not after he had learned of
the grand Jury Investigation,

Waldport Bridge, use of
Wood are Topics for
Highway Meeting
CORVALLIS, Ore., May 18
(AP) The proposed Waldport
bridge across Alsea bay on the
Oregon coast highway probably
will be one of the most beautiful
bridges of its kind ever construct
ed, C. B. McCullough, state bridge
engineer, predicted tn an address
before the West Side Pacific
Highway association here tonight.
The Waldport bridge, he said,
under present plans will have
span of 1800 feet and will have
a total length of 3200 feet It
will be constructed of concrete
and wood.
Discussing use of wood in
bridge building, McCullough said
the highway department now uses
about 10,000,000 feet of lumber
a year and that if all bridges were
built of wood the " consumption
would be increased only to about
15.000,000 feet. He said 8.0 00,-
000 feet of timber were used in
the construction of the new - Ro
gue river bridge on the Oregon
coast highway.
-The real value of wood in
bridge construction, he said, lies
In the advertising value which
will stimulate foreign lumber mar
kets.
The association adopted a res
olution, that the proposed Wald
port bridge be dedicated to C. B.
McCullough, who had designed it
The next meeting will be held

After Dr. Condon bad conferred

WASHINGTON, May 18 (AP)
A man hunt second to none in
the nation's history, a search that
will not end until the murderers
of little Charles Augustus Lind
bergh, Jr., have paid in kind was
ordered in vehement words today
by President 'Hoover.
"I have directed the law en
forcement agencies and the sev
eral secret services of the federal
government te make the kidnap
ing and murder of the Lindbergh
baby a live and never-to-be-for
gotten case, never to be relaxed
until these criminals are in placab
ly brought to Justice," the chief
executive said.
"The federal government does
not have police authority in such
enmea, but its agencies will be
unceasingly alert to assist the
New Jersey police in every pos
sible way until this end has been
accomplished."
Even as the president spoke,
bis words were being flashed to
the nation'a law enforcement of
ficers. Attorney General Mitchell
announced a few minutes later
that he bad relayed the orders to
the men nnder his eommand.
Feeling throughout the capital
ran high. Sympathy mixed with
determination to ran down the
murderers echoed from the balls
of congress to the White House
cabinet room.
