JUDGE DUNNE ENDS
PROGRAFT PRESS LIE
Attorney Bert Schlesinger Re-
qnired to Explain BLAKE
Immunity" Story
Reflection on District Attorneys
Office Apologized for by
Newburgh Lawyer

An alleged attempt to make it appear
that E. A. S. Blake. convicted Jury
hxer. would be granted leniency and
perhaps immunity after he had been
sentenced to four years in San Quen-
tin was blocked yesterday afternoon by
Judge Dunno when Attorney Bert
sehlesinger. leading counsel for A. s.
Newburgh, now on trial for compIicfty
in the attempt to purchase the vote Of
John Martin Kelly. for which Blake
was convicted. was called into Judge
Dunne's chambers and asked for an
explanation.
A morning paper yesterday asserted
that Judge Dunno and District Attor-
ney w. III. Langdon were preparing to
reward Blake by giving him chance
Tor a new trial 1t was further stated
that Langdon was forced TO make this
concession to Blake because of the lat
ter's refusal to testify at the trial Of
Newburgh, which is now pending.
The printed statement attributed to
Schlesinger was considered a reflection
upon the official integrity of Judge
Dunno and that magistrate at once de-
cided that an Investigation should be
made in an effort TO fix the RESPONSE
vestigation, although commenced yes
terday, has not been concluded, and II
possible the authorship of the false
article will be determined.
At the meeting, which took place I'm
mediately afteFward in Judge Dunne's
chambers, Schlesinger meekIy denied
the statements attributed to him in
the prograft press and announced that
he would have the misstatement cor
rectsd.
A short time afterward Judge Rob
ert Ferral, another attorney for New
burgh. announced to the jury In Judge
Murasky's court that Blake had been
guaranteed immunity by the proSecu-
tion. Ferral was prodded by SehIes-
niger and requested not to take up
that matter and Ferral followed the
suggestion, unaware of what had oc-
CURED in Judge Dunne's chambers
E. A. S. Blake was sentenced to four
years in San Quentin by Judge Dunno
several weeks ago. and at that time
motion for a new trial was denied.

work Well get the information for
them" interposed Stockton.
Have you anything TO show the
gross earnings and the operating ex-
penses OF the San Francisco office?"
asked Brown.
That has not been made up" said
stockton, but from previous expert
ence I should say that it could be
prepared at cost of $4,000"
Honn then declared that the special
bulk rates had been put into effect
at the solicitation Of the San Francisco
merchants after the FIRE to assist them
in resuming business. He added that
the rate had been withdrawn when it
was believed the desired result had
been accomplished.
II was brought out through the wit
ness that il was the general under
standing that the minimum express
rate should not be less than / II times
the freight rate.
A Christeson, the Pacific coast man
ager of the company. was then called,
and could not give definite answers re-
garding shipments Of over 1000 pounds
made TO San Francisco or any contracts
made for special rates for shipments
Of 1000 pounds and over.
LANE TAKES HAND
Ahc NdSStiohihB proceeded without
result until Lane stepped in and elicit
ed the Information that the rates were
generally made by John d. Ludlow, the
traffic manager. with offices in New
York
Lane finally ordered that the data
showing the bulk shipments and the
financial data desired by the shippers
be furnished by the company.
The hearing will be resumed at a
later date when testimony will be
taken in either New York or Washing
ton. In the meantime the company will
gather such data as the shippers de-
sire Lane also announced that he
would give the Fargo company
an opportunity to make oral arguments
IN the consolidation shipment case.
A ruling of great Importance as re-
lated to protests now under considera-
ton was made by Lane when he de-
clared that the shippers were entitled

no promise of immunity was made by
