SCUDDER DENIES
CROPSEY'S CHARGE
Says He Did Not Favor
Former Controller Ed
ward M. Circuit.
DECLARES CASE WAS
POLITICAL ISSUE
Explains His Decision Was Based
on Legal Grounds, Not
Friendship.

Justice Townsend Scudder, o, the Su-
preme Court, one of the justices char
acterized by District Attorney Cropsey
as hand picked appeared as a
witness yesterday before the special
committee of the Brooklyn Bar Asso-
citation, which Is investigating Mr..
Cropsey's statements. He is the only
one of the six referred to by Mr..
Cropsey who has appeared before the
committee. He came voluntarily, ex-
planning that he had only heard Of
District Attorney Cropsey's character
ization OF his actions upon his recent
return from Europe.
Justice Scudder denied that Stephen
Baldwin, counsel for former Controller
Edward VI. Grout, had been his, Scud-
der's, counsel at the time he granted
two motions made by Mr.. Baldwin for
his client. Grout. He said he had only
n slight acquaintance with Grout. He
had permitted Baldwin to examine the
minutes of the grand jury which IN
dictcd Grout and ordered the transfer
OF the trial Of the indictment from the
County Court to the Supreme Court
on entirely legal grounds, he declared,
and not through friendship.
The Justice asked the District Attor-
ney If he had made the statement that
Mr.. Baldwin was his counsel. Mr..
Cropsey replied that he had been SO In
formed The witness explained that
Mr.. Baldwin had been his counsel only
in a technical sense, he having request
ed him to read a written statement be-
fore the Appellate Division because he,
Justice Scudder, did not feel il proper
for him 10 appear before that court. lie
declared he had never discussed any
phase Of the Grout matter with Bald
win.
~ have never heard any Of the jus
tees, before the matter came up, say
tn the Grout matter was pleasant
one to handle" said Justice Scudder.
$50 far as felt, it was subject un-
pleasant to all Of us when 1t came be-
fore us"
The Justice said ne had the indict-
ment transferred TO the Supreme Court
because he thought the matter would be
better expedited in that court, where
there were fourteen justices. There
are only two judges in the County
Court. >,
at ran through my mind" he said,
chat the Grout matter had been MADE
by you a political matter. You made
a campaign on what you would do II
elected District Attorney In relation TO
the Union Bank case"
Justice Scudder WAS the last wit
ness to appear before the committee.
The investigation has been In progress
for a month. Both Justice Scudder
and District Attorney Cropsey were
given the privilege of filing briefs with
the committee during the next week
or ten days. 1t is thought unlikely,
however, that either will file brief.

SHOOTS HIS WIFE,
THEN HISDAUCHTER
Barber Commits Double
Murder When Allow
anCe Is Stopped.

Weeks Of threats eliminated yester-
day In the murder Of Mrs. Jennie &C.
rardi by her husband, Vito, in their
apartment, at 299 East Goth st. Two
Of the FIVE bullets he fred struck their
youngest child, Annie, eleven years old.
She died instantly. The slayer de-
clared sfterward that he had not in
tended TO kill the child.
Dominick, who is nearly nineteen
and the eldest Of the four children OF
the couple, jumped up as his father
began firing, but succeeded only in get
ting close enough to get powder marks
on his hands. As Patrolman Greenley,
of the 67th st. station, burst in the
door Gerard pulled the trigger. but
the revolver was empty, and ho was
soon subdued.
Vito has been known 70 the police
for several years. In 1907 he was con-
victed of shooting at n fellow barber
in downtown shop. Three years ago
he spent forty days in the Tombs, fol-
lowing his arrest for carrying a re-
volver. 1t was there that he developed
tuberculosis in a dangerous form.
On his release charitable organiza-
tons gave him more than 500 and told
him TO 20 away, where he might DO
cured. He gambled and lost the money.
When arrest was threatened he raised
enough to take him upstate, where he
lived on Sl2 a week sent by his wife
until the charities which were making
her an allowance learned OF it and
threatened to stop It unless she refused
to send him money.
This brought Gerard back to New
York in November. Meanwhile his
wife worked in a laundry, and Dom
mick and a younger boy also added to
the family income. Another daughter
is now a tuberculosis patient at Otis
Vile.
Vito was ordered from the house
this week, but effected truce through
his assertion that he had got job
in a shop in 5Sth St, and was going
to work yesterday. He was at the
table with his wife and Annie last night
when Dominick arrived for his sup
per. Asked if he had gone TO work, he
got up, walked a few steps from the
table and then turned and began firing.
Coroner Hellenstein learned that
three revolvers had been taken from
him by his family since his return
to New York.

day by officials and foreign diplomats
here a. one OF the gravest develop

President Wilson conferred at length

1t was admitted by officials OF the

Carranza had renewed his invitation
for the diplomatic corps to 90 to Vera

of its possible construction as rec

there are 800 more in the reserve
