For SIaverS' Squad

head of the police white slave
yesterday by Chief White.
Bierman caused sensation few
weeks ago at the trial of Ed Clifford,
charged with having held up a Polk

all that he had overheard William
Ryington, a detective for the United
Railroads, instruct a witness to 'iden-
tify Clifford as the man, though the

ment of Clifford, after Judge Shortall
has dismissed the case.

Youth Preferred Bed
In BoxcaT to Home

A bed in boxcar with tramps for
companions and the thermometer out
side at the freezing point is much
more desirable in the eyes OF Alfred
Rothrock OF 26S Oak street. San Fran
cisco, than comfortable home in
which there is a stepmother and sew
eral dogs to exercise before breakfast.
This was the explanation the II year
old runaway boy gave for leaving
home and seeking the company Of
Migrants. The boy was arrested by
Probation Officer G. Fl. Waterman at
San Jose and is being held pending
the arrival of probation officers from
San Francisco.

James Hassett. the accountant who
exported the books of the Continental
Building and Loan association, re-
sumed the witness stand this morning
as a witness for the prosecution in the
case of William H. Corbin. secretary
Of the corporation. who is on trial.

with Building and Loan Commissioner
George Walker. Hassett was still
testifying on direct examination yes
terday afternoon when court ad-
journed.
It is expected that the prosecution
viii rest its case this afternoon and
that the defense win begin either late
today or tomorrow. The case may go
to the jury tomorrow.
WALKER ON STAND
The first important witness yester-
day was Commissioner Walker, whose
direct examination was conducted by
Attorney Leon Martin. associated with
Assistant District Attorney Cotton as
special prosecutor. Walker testified
that Corbin. when he filed the semi
annual eport of the associa ton for
June so. 1919. falsifed it by omitting
the item of interest or dividend on
class c stock and overstated the as
sets by improper crediting of pay
ments on definite contract loans.
The interest due on prepaid stock
July l was about s11 900 The con-
tention of the defense is that Corbin
intended to include this in his re-
port for the following year Walker.
however. on cross examination by At
tOrney r. p. Henshall. who is as
sociated with Bert Schlesinger in the
defense of Corbin, denied that the
defendant had said anything TO him
about including this item in a subse-
quent report.
MEMORANDUM MISSING
Henshall asked Walker If it were
pinned TO the report setting forth that
the omitted item of interest was to
be included in a later report. and
pointed to pinholes in the report in
support of his contention. Walker
said ii was not true, and explained
that the pinholes were made when
rider that had been attached to the
report was transferred from the bot
tom of the third page to the top Of the
second.

on the stand, was giving expert testi-
mony as TO the financial system of
