Bond trial outlines forged Hutchinson bonds case
Topeka December 15 AP An outline of the states case against Ronald Finney bond broker on trial for allegedly forging 30500 of Hutchinson bonds and selling them to a Topeka bank was presented to the jury by Shawnee county attorney Lester Goodell. The jury of eight men and four women was seated after 54 prospective jurors had been examined. The state exhausted three peremptory challenges and the defense used six. Goodell detailed alleged forgeries involving bonds issued in 1932 and a separate $20,000 Salina parks issue, plus a claimed plan to trade forged bonds for other securities. He described Finney visiting Hutchinson in a plane and meeting Miss May Harsha, with records allegedly altered to cover the transaction. The trial proceeded with remaining witnesses to be called.

Test of Relief Bill Faces Supreme Court Challenge
In Topeka the supreme court set a hearing on a suit to test the highway relief act enacted during the recent special session. Roland Boynton sues for the state highway commission at Governor Landon's urging to determine constitutionality. The act would let the commission borrow from the government and accept a 33 percent grant, with repayment pledged from highway funds over 30 years, potentially enabling 10 to 15 million dollars of loan value, while the government would determine final amounts.
