London, Jan. 15. While the Saar plebiscite was expected to clear the political horizon in Europe to some extent, another cloud has unexpectedly appeared in the form of the postponement of the visit of the French statesmen, M. Flandin and M. Laval, to London.
News of the delay reached diplomatic circles after Monday's Cabinet conference, and is regarded as con- firmation of reports that a hitch has occurred in Franco- British conversations.
It is understood that when Sir John Simon inform- ed the Cabinet of the tenor of his talk with M. Laval, the French Foreign Minister, at Geneva on Saturday, the ministers left that a delay in the visit of the French statesmen was desirable.
It is reported that M. Laval in not prepared to consent to abroga- tion of the military clauses of the Vorsailles Treaty without ansur- ance from Great Britain that

Flemington, Jan. 15. The handwriting expert, Mr. John Tyrrell, whose evidence was largely responsible for the conviction of Leopold and Loeb, testified at the trial of Bruno Haupt-- mann to-day.
His testimony was a blow to the defence, for in- jurious evidence from this man counts with a jury. He' said that the ransom notes showed a vain attempt at disguise by the writer. And the writer was Haupt- mann, he added.
Mr. Tyrrell's evidence was of the utmost importance to the prosecution in the Leopold and Loeo case. It will be recalled that these young sons of rich Chicago busi- ness men, following some perverted inclination, murder- ed a young acquaintance, Bobby Franks, alter having tortured him hendishly.
