CASE OF "6IG BILL KELIHER
 MAY GO TO JURY TODAY.
Trial Ended-Defendant Not Called to
 A- Witness Stand.

Boston, June 14.-No effort was made to have Big Bill" Keliher testify in his own behalf when the trial ended today, in which he is charged with aiding George W. Coleman in defraud- ing the National City bank or Cam bridge of $309,0 The burly friend of the defaulting bookkeeper sat stolcally beside his attorneys while half doz- en witnesses, including a woman friend from New York, testified regarding Coleman's relations with Keliher Yet even Keliher was forced to smile when his lawyers disconcerted the district attorney by producing a hidden wit ness to the last interview between Keliher and Coleman at the formers house in Winthrop last April.
 In the early stages of the trial Cole man had testified that he was urged to go to Keliher's house after the bank crash by a Mrs. Laura Atwood or Ar mold of New York. Coleman testified that Keliher wanted to settle the case and offered from $5,000 to $100, 900 for Colemans' silence. The government did not produce Mrs. Atwood, but the de- fense did today. and her story of the interview varied considerably from that of Coleman. She said that 1t was Coleman who suggested the visit to Kelihers house and that Coleman told her that Keliher did not know where the money Coleman gave him for vari- ous dealings came from. The argu- ments will be made tomorrow and it is expected that the jury will receive the case either late tomorrow after noon or Thursday morning.

SPECTATORS EXPELLED
 FROM BRIBERY TRIAL
No Possibility for Undue Influence to
 Reach the Jury.

Chicago. June 1.-The expulsion today of two spectators from the trial of State Representative Lee ONen Browne, charged with paying $1,000 to Representative Charles A. White to vote for William Lorimer for United States henator, gave emphasis to State Attorney Waymans declaration that he would prevent any possibility for undue influence to reach the jury.
 The men expelled were Ernest kru- 1ewich, a Chicago politician. and Hen ry Wagner. The latter owes his em- barrassment to having made audible expression of a belief in the guilt of the defendant. MT. Wayman said he had not seen Krulewich do anything wrong; but that, during the trial of Skinny" Madden, labor leader, charged with extortion, Krulewich had brought suspicion on himself by sak- ing hands with Madden in front of the jury.
 Krulewich was one of several poli- ticians indicted two years ago. Kru- lewich was served with a subpoena to appear before a grand jury tomorrow.
