MANTI, July 2 OLE) Lewis Larson, defending Mendon Draper for the alleged slaying of Andrew Bjerregaard, aged Manti financier, vigorously attacked the state's case against the alleged torch murderer mur-derer and plead to the jury for an acquittal. Larson brought out the story of the animosity of the two men and attempted to show that the hatred between the two came from Bjerre-gaard Bjerre-gaard rather than Draper. Prior to the defense plea, County Coun-ty Attorney Udell' Jenson painted a picture of what had happened on the night of the slaying, in which it ia held that Draper and Bjerre-gaard's Bjerre-gaard's own daughter 'beat the" old man and turned him alive. Audience Horrified Gasps, of horror arose from the crowded court as the county attorney attor-ney told that a dead man's flesh does not blister, and that Bjerre-gaard's Bjerre-gaard's skin was testified to be blistered by several reputable die-tors die-tors who testified for the state. ' 'Bjerregaard attacked Draper, Counsel "Larson contended, and Drapers - merely acted in self defense. de-fense. w' The trouble arose, he ' said, because 4 of the banker Bjerre-gaard's Bjerre-gaard's animosity for the laborer suitor.' ::,''-;:.. .....,..

Short Platform . , McAdoo-Smith Feud Recallled At Convention Shift To Roosevelt Column Gives McAdoo Chance To "Pay Back." By THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright 1932 by United Press) CHICAGO, July 2 (U.P) Ghosts of old political feuds screeched in the wings of the great prize fight stadium sta-dium here as fate moved its eternal finger, unknown to the uncertain delegates, to write another chapter in Democratic party history. It was the very cream of political irony when William Gibbs McAdoo, Mc-Adoo, one time glittering star of the Woodrow Wilson administration, administra-tion, stepped back under the great spotlight last night to start the swing that nominated Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York as Democratic candidate for president of the United States. History turned its pages back eight years ago, to a similar mob scene, when McAdoo was kept from the nomination, himself, at Madison Square Garden by the indominable Alfred E. Smith who held tight in his grip a bunch of "die hards" delegates who prevented McAdoo's nomination Mac Squares Himself At this point there wends into the picture the present differences between Roosevelt' and - Smith,' When McAdoo tirst ctnue here a few days ago there was talk of a possible combination ' between Smith and McAdoo, old political foes, to defeat Roosevelt. Seasoned political observers wondered won-dered how it could stick, even though McAd9 is none too kindly disposed toward Roosevelt. , Dramatically, McAdoo told them last night.

Economic reforms, stricter regulation regu-lation of utilities, firm curbing of reckless banking and stock promotion promo-tion activities which have wiped out billions of dollars in savings these also are cardinal features upon wnich the Democrats will challenge President Hoover. Roosevelt won only after a hard battle last night. Fighting was bitter. His name was booed from the galleries. His friends were booed even by some of the delegates. .
