because ho continued to reside on

When Federal Judge McNnry told
Davis his plea would he overruled
he asked for postponement of hear

granted.
Kdwln Martin, another squatter,
charged with trespassing in the

The rapid rise of liirge tirban

by the anti-Smith committee of
Virginia, of which Cannon was
chairman.
Jameson produced a number of
checks to Cannon, several of which
were made payable to "cash."
Two checks, one for $4300 and
the other for I3000, were dated
after tho campaign was over.
Jameson said Cannon was In
debt for bills and that this amount
was contributed to aid the bishop.
'"Where did you get tho In
formation the bishop was In

plied, eaying the debts were for
stationary and printing.
"Did he tell you what the print
ng bills were for?"
