Northcutt's appeal, based prin cipally upon Insufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict of murder, also attacked the refusal of tba trial court in denying mo tions made by the defense.

WASHINGTON, June lltf. After sustaining a veto of Us first hill for ivller of world war veteran, the house today passed a substitute measure designed t over come President Hoover's ob jection to the original. WASHINGTON, June 2B. ! The house sustained President j Hoover today in vetoing the world war veterans' relief bill. Consideration of substitute leg islation deslKiied to overcome Mr. Hoover's objections to the original measure began Immediately. In hi veto message the presi dent again protested the bill sent to him was unjust, both to the veterans nnd the taxpayers. He said he wanted "a square deal between veterans no unjust dis crimination between special groups." The lengthy veto mes sage reached the house at 1:21 p. m., and onough votes to assure Its being sustained had been cast at 1 :4fi p. m. The vote for upholding the president was IKS to 1X2. A two thirds vote would have been necessary to override Mr. I loover. ' The Republicans, 'who had gain ed a pledge of 154 votes to mis tain the veto, Jumped from their seats and shouted and cheered when the vote was announced by speaker Ixjng worth. The major ity, which came as a big surprise, caused a round of hand-shaking among the Republicans. House leaders , estimate the sub stitute hill would call for nn est!-' mated expenditure of $50,000,000 for the 1931 fiscal year. The presi dent said the bill vetoed would hnve cost approximately $1X1, 000 000. The substitute would take care of all veterans whose disability Is 25 per cent in amounts ranging from $12 to $40 monthly.
