CLAICHE M URDERTRIAL
FEATURE OVER
SHADOWS REAL ISSUE IN CASE.

NEW YORK, February 2T.-An unusual
situation, temporarily overshadoWing the
real issue in the case. confronted the court
and jury when the trial Of Berthe Claiche
for the murder Of Emil Gerdron was re-
suned in the criminal branch Of the SUI
preme court today. This was the inquiry
into the part which certain policemen are
alleged to have had In GerSron's death.
Charges were made at the opening OF the
trial yesterday by Assistant District Attor-
ney Ely that two members of the police
force aided the girl In her deed and prom
ised her immunity. The larger part Of the
opening day was spent investigating this
phase of the case. Mr.. Ely brought out
evidence that a letter was sent to Gerdron
before his death and that after ii $500 was
reported to have been stolen from the body.
Although he obtained no evidence to show
who wrote the letter or took the money, the
prosecutor charged that policemen were re-
sponsible in both cases and that by the
letter Gerdron was lured to the place where
he was shot while under arrest.
Berthe Claiche herself apparently had
only minor part IN the first days pro-
ceedings except a spectator. She fire.
quently appeared to be greatly agitated,
especially during the prosecutor s arraign-
ment of the policemen.

WILL REPRESENT VENEZUELA.
DR.. Garbiras Will Succeed VeIoz-
Goiticoa Here.

Formal notice of the reported change in
the Venezuelan diplomatic representation
at Washington has at last reached here.
Senor Veloz-Goiticoa, who has acted as
charge daffares OF the Venezuelan lega-
ton for the past year, today received a
letter from Senor barra, the minister for
foreign affairs at Caracas, informing him
that DIR. Garbiras- Guzman had been ap-
pointed charge d'affaires at Washington
and that he (Senor Veloz- Goiticoa) is to be
transferred TO another post.
The charge also received a telegram from
DR.. Garbiras, dated at New York today,
announcing his arrival at that port from
Venezuela and stating that he is about to
proceed at once to Washington.
The new charge is said to bear a high
reputation IN his native country, being a
doctor of laws orator of note and a
considerable writer on economic subjects.
He has also held the office of minister Of
formento.
The fact that Dr. Garbiras has been ap-
pointed charge and not minister Is ex-
planned by the statement that at present
Venezuela has no ministers abroad, even In
the European capitals being represented
by charges.
