Martin Of the Bronx, was begun to-
day by the arrest of Dennis Murray.
foreman of linemen for the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad, at
his home in Bridgeport, Conn. on a
warrant charging perjury. He was
subsequently released on $500 bail by
Judge Louis D. Gibbs of the Bronx
county court.
A confession obtained from Murray
according to the police and backed By
other evidence, it is alleged, revealed
that an organization of influential
lawyers exists for the purpose of sue
ing large corporations, particular the
New Haven road. for slight or knagi-
nary injuries in accident cases. The
members of the Trust" District At

settled the cases out Of court for large

"a further and natural step beyond
this negative policy of Withholding from
the enemy the knowledge where troops
are is the more active course of inducing

mystifying. misleading and surprising

Of the conduct of war
Reports Of an intended invasion of
England may be spread by the enemy in
the hope Of causing a dislocation OF

taken. Such a course would only be in
accordance with the action of the Ger
