Defense of W. Y. 4'York' Rich
ardson, former deputy Marlon
county, treasurer, took shape yes
terday1 as the' 75-year-old man
mounted the witness stand in his
own" behalf at his trial In circuit
court on a charge of larceny of
123,520.41 of public money.
Detail by : detail, Richardson
added up sums he had spent dur-
. Ins the last 2 years on mtnins
Tentures and conduct of his sim
ple household and then itemized
his meagre Income from the
mines, his salary as deputy treas
urer, returns from bis few wal
nut trees, his cows, a wood cut

boarders. : . . -; x
The elderly ; defendant's esti
mates of income totaled 135,500,
roughly, while his - approximate
expenditures aggregated $11,400,
according to his testimony.
Charges Drager "
Figured Shortage
Earlier In the day the ex-deputy
had declared that: t ;
. 1.- Treasurer D; 0. Drager,' who
was Jointly Indicted with him, had
assisted in figuring "erery short
age and helped pick out the war
rants to be used to make up the
shortage erery year."
2. He, Rlcbardson, had nerer
altered the date on a warrant.
S. For each one of the 42 coun
ty checks the state sought to
prove he had Issued for personal
business he had put an equivalent
sum of money ; back in . the trea
sury iVi".-' ,"r ,:"X- - -
4. Both he and Drager had
"cashed lots of outside checks as
accommodation and this was not
limited to courthouse employes."
5. Both men had often taken
out their salaries In advance but
Richardson, and as far as he knew,
Drager, too, had always repaid the
county.
Defense Tries to
Bring in Checks
Defense attempts to Introduce
county; checks drawn by Drager
and Identify them through Rich
ardson as representing persona)
business caused an early adjourn
ment when Francis E. Marsh,
prosecutor. Insisted on knowing it
the defendant were certain of his
own knowledge or only surmising
in his answers that the checks did
represent private transactions. .
A similar Issue arose last week,
on an objection to hearsay testi
mony, when the defense sought
the same Information In cross-examining
Floyd K, Bowers; state
auditor-witness. y
I believe Mr. Richardson was
in that office long enough to know
about these things," his attorney,
Edwin Keech, asserted. !
But Marsh declared that "as
prosecutor In this case. It is not
only my duty to prosecute these
men but to protect them from in
competent evidence."
Marsh said he had "no objec
tion to any check once it is defin
itely proven that that was private
business." -
Asking If it were not possible
to ferret the desired information
from the county's records - over

WASHINGTON, June 18-P)-Presldent
Roosevelt threw down
the gage of battle on the neutral
ity issue today, thereby opening
what many legislators expect to
be the most strenuous contest on
foreign affairs since the debate
over American entry into the
League of Nations.
According to well-informed leg
islators, the president told con
gressional leaders at - a White
House conference that he wanted
a vote on neutrality legislation in
both the house and senate this
session, regardless of how long
that might delay adjournment.
One senator added that the
chief executive virtually commit
ted himself to call a special ses
sion If action is not taken on the
legislation and if a new Interna
tional crisis should arise after
congress goes home.
Senator Berkley (D, Ky.), ma
jority leader, said, however, it had
been decided to press for a de
cision at this session. This decision
means that congress may be here
all summer and into the fall. Only
a few days ago a bloe of 21 sen
ators. Including most of the so
e a 1 1 e d "mandatory neutrality
bloe," signed a round .robin de

compromise on legislation which
would repeal the present law's
provision for an :. automatic em
bargo on arms shipments to na
tions at waft
" Such a repealer is contained in
the Hull neutrality bill, the ad
