Ed Welch of the Hamilton police force, corroborated the chief's testimony. He sain he had told John Lawes that Barrett was wanted. Thp government rested and recalled several government witnesses for further cross-examina-tion. Barrett in Ambulance Charles B. Walke. Butler County (O.t deputy sheriff, was asked whether he heard Agent Klein state, as he started after Barrett, that he was a Federal agent. Mr. Walke said his notes showed Agent Klein had not so identified himself. Ora Brown. College Corner (O ' postmaster, also re-examined, said he had taken photographs of the body of Klein, but not of Barrett on the night of the shooting. He said, however, that Barrett was not on the scene when he took the pictures, but in an ambulance. Motion Is Overruled Federal Agent Donald C. McGovern. re-examined, testified he had not thought it was necessary to, bring his gun to court, or Klein’s. He said he had intended to have pic hires taken of the scene of the shooting, include both the body of Klein and Barrett, but they failed to do so. At this point Rice introduced a motion for a directed verdict of not guilty. The motion was overruled and an exception was taken. James J. Higgins, Covington (Ky.'i i city detective, was the first witness as court opened today. He testified

he had talked to Federal Agent Donald C. McGovern about Barrett and his stolen auto activities. It was h*. he said, who noted the numbers on Barrett's car license plates through which the defendant was traced. Testimony Corroborated John Drees, another Co%<ngton detective. with whom Detective Higgins said he worked, corroborated the testimony. Scott Finlay, sales manager of the Central Motors Cos., Hamilton, 0., through which Barrett made some arrangements for auto transactions, testified Barrett bought from his firm a car to match one Barrett already had stolen. He also told of furnishing information about Barrett to Agent McGovern. Andrew Wagner. Lockland (CM chief of police, testified he also had given Agent McGovern *information about Barrett, including data on a car stolen from San Diego. Cal. Arthur Hock, Hamilton (O.t garage operator, said he had sold a car Barrett previously had sold him. He said he did not know it at the time he bought the car from Barret, but since has learned the car was stolen at and transported from San Diego.

Buys Stolen Auto The Rev. Thomas W. Farmer, Mount Sterling, 0., who at the time of the snooting lived at Hamilton, said he had bought an auto which later proved to have been stolen by Barrett. David Beyelein. Hamilton farmer, testified that he also had bought a bona fide car later proved to have been stolen by Barrett. District Attorney Nolan offered in evidence an indictment pending against Barrett charging the 'ft of the cars which eventually sold to Mr. Beyerlein and the Rev. Farmer and it was entered with no objection. John C. Calhoun. Hamilton chief of police, testified he tried to arrest Barrett on Aug. 16 at the request of Agent Klein, but did not find him. Ed Riley. Hamilton detective, corroborated this testimony, as did Hrrschel Haines, also a Hamilton detective. Reluctant W'itness One reluctant, witness, Irvin Brockman, distant cousin of Barrett and involved in a Kentucky feul with him, provided a high point of interest in the trial yesterday when he approached Val Nolan, United States district attorney, in the corridor at the luncheon recess and said: “If you aren't careful. I'm afraid Rice (defense attorney) will pull me out of that witness chair.” Mr. Nolan asked Brockman about the meaning of his statement when he began re-direct examination. Brockman smiled sheepishly and offered no explanation. At this, the wheel-chaired defendant straightened himself and stared at his relative. No Big Difference The signed statement of how' Barxett shot and killed Klein w'hen Klein was attempting to arrest him on a charge'of having violated the Federal auto theft, law- varied in only one minor detail from stories of the shooting heard from other witnesses. When the government rests, Barrett probably will be the first defense witness and he will plead selfdefense. He has said, through his attorney, that he thought he wps pursued that afternoon by Kentucky feudists and that it' was his life or theirs. In his written statement, however, he says that he had been warned Federal agents were after him, and that someone told him Federal agents had “laid traps for him all over town.” Feud Began in Kentucky The feud of which Barrett's attorney says he was afraid began in Clay County, Kentucky, when a Negro testified before a grand jury against a man he had seen set fire to a structure. The Negro was murdered subsequently, and a Judge Stivers pressed charges of intimidation against members of the Barrett clan. Judge Stivers subsequently was shot down and in September. 1932. Barrett’s cousin and Brockman's brother w'ere shot dowm. It was a continuation of this feud. Barrett claims, that he feared.

HITLER VIEW ON JEWS ATTACKED Bolshevist Idea Ridiculed by Dr. Adler; Held Smoke Screen. (Copyright. 1935. by United Press) NEW YORK, Dec. s.—Dr. Cyrus Adler, president of the American Jewish committee and a recognized spokesman for American Jew'ry, today ridiculed Adolf Hitler s contention that the Nazi anti-Jewfsh program is necessary to protect Germany and the rest of the world from Communism. Answering the arguments advanced by Hitler in a recent interview' with Hugh Baillie. president cf the United Press, Dr. Adler said scientists had “demolished'’ the racial theories Nazis have advanced as justification of their program. “So, like a good strategist in a bad cause, Hitler abandons the race theory and now declares the Jew's are Bolshevists,” Dr. Adler said. Dr. Adler said the Nazis' Aryan superiority race theory "has become the laughing stock of the scientific world.” “Not even German anthropologists and ethnologists were willing to defend it at the International Anthropological Congress held in London in 1934. And more recently that theory has been demolished by Prof. Julian Huxley, son of the great Thomas Huxley and himself a great authority, and by Prof. Haadon, the mast distinguished anthropologist in England.”
