Weeks, who will prosecute Osborne, announced today that conversations which have taken place in his private office since January. regarding the case, have been overheard and recorded by means of a telephonic device installed in a nearby room. Three persons examined by him today confessed, MT. Weeks said, that they were retained by a private what they could regarding his move ments in the Osborne case.
 MT. Weeks headquarters has been temporarily in an office building near the county courthouse. Yesterday, ac- cording to the prosecutor, an employe discovered a wire which ran from a point behind a bookcase in his office to rooms rented about six weeks ago by a young woman who desired quar- ters for use by public stenographers. This woman, according to MT. Weeks, questioned the janitor's helper as to the layout of the district attorneys office.
 MT. Weeks declined to make public the names of the persons he examined. One, a woman, he said, came from Bos- ton. He intimated that their stories might lead to the prosecution of per- sons who employed them.
 MT. Osborne's trial will begin on Monday.

Throwing large masses of infantry against the French in the Corbeaux wood, northwest of Verdun, the Ger mans, after several attacks, in which they are declared by Paris to have suffered large casualties, have retaken part of the wood from which the French had previously elected them.
 The entire region about Verdun con- tinues the scene of intense operations. West of Douaumont and the sector em- bracing the village of Vaux have been points against which the Germans have launched vicious infantry attacks, but at both places their efforts to advance broke down under the heavy fire of the French, according to Paris.
 Berlin, however, counters this asser- ton by announcing the taking of a ridge west of Douaumont by the Ger mans, and says also the Germans have succeeded in pushing forward their line through the wooded sectors south east of Damloup, which lies a short distance east of Fort Vaux.
 The statement is made in the Ger man official communication that the Germans have succeeded in gaining a firm footing In Fort Vaux. Paris had previously caltegorical1y denied that the Germans had captured either the fort or the village of Vaux.
 East and southeast of Verdun over a front of about seven and a half miles the Germans have been directing a heavy bembardTnent on the towns of Fix, Moulainville, ers-Sous-Bon-

 In the Artois region the French have occupied the crater of a mine exploded by the Germans and in Lorraine have damaged with their gunf1re German or ganizations on the front of Halevtlle- Bremenil.
 The Germans on the upper Stripa region of the Russian front are de- clared by Petrograd to have suffered heavy losses in a counter-attack made on a position captured by the Rus sians.
 Despite the bad weather, the Italians are keeping up their offensive against the Austrians along the Austro- Italian line. The Tolmino bridgehead had been heavily bombarded and the IsonZo front has been the scene of internit- tent smelling.
 Petrograd reports a continuation of the progress of the Russians against the Turks along the Black sea coast toward Trebizond.
 A British official communication says a force which was attempting to re- lieve the siege of Kut-el-Amara and which had been reported at Eassin, seven miles east of the be1eaguered town, has been forced because of lack of water to fall back on the Tigris river. The Turks. however, claim that the British retired after their election from a Turkish trench which they had captured and that they left behind them 2,000 dead.

BROKER JOHN GRANT LYMAN
 WINS A POINT IN COURT,
Prosecution Not Allowed to Examine
 His Books and Letters.

New York March 10.-John Grant under indictment for using the mails to defraud, won a point in court here today when Federal Judge Hough di- rected John L. Lyttle, receiver in bank ruptcy for John H. Putnam and Com pany, the name under which Lyman conducted a brokerage business here, not to permit examination of the books and letters in his possession by As- sistant District Attorney Stanton or his accountant Judge Hough held that the alleged bankrupt's books can be used only by Receiver Lyttle for ascertaining a list of Lyman's credi- tors and making a tabulation of his assets and liabilities. The order will have the effect of shielding Lyman in the prosecution of indictment against him charging mail swindling.
 Henry A. Wise, counsel for Lyman, declared his clients books and papers were seized by the federal authorities as evidence in the criminal case in violation of Lyman's constitutional right and without due process of law.

GEN. FUNSTON SENDS REPORT
 TO WAR DEPARTMENT.
Offers to Personally Command Troops for Relentless Pursuit of Bandits.

Washington. March 1O.-In a report late his afternoon General Funston told the war department he had ac- curate information that Villa had LOGO troops with him, that Carranza troops in his vicinity had fled, and that he advised against "frittering away the time of the army guarding small towns" while Villa might have an op- portun1ty to escape. He advised that the plans of the army for Villas cap ture be surrounded with secrecy for the sake of their success.
 The text of the despatch from Gen. eral Funston follows:
 Tt Is the opinion of Colonels Dodd and Slocum, in which I concur, that unless Villa Is relentlessly pursued and his forces scattered he will continue raids. As troops of Mexican govern ment are accomplishing nothing, and as he can consequently make his preparations and concentrations with out being disturbed. he can strike at any point on the border. We being un- able to obtain advance information as to his whereabouts.
 If we fritter away the whole com mand guarding towns, ranches and railroads, 1t will accomplish nothing If he can find safe refuge across the line after every raid. Although prob ably not more than 1000 took part in Columbus raid. he is believed to have about 5000. Even if he should not continue raids, he has entered on a pol icy of merciless killing of Americans in Mexico.
 ''To show apathy and gross ineffi- ciency of Mexican government troops, an American woman held prisoner by Villa for nine days, but who escaped in Columbus fight. states that during all that time he was undisturbed at no great distance from border collect ing a force of about 5000. The few Carranza troops in the region fled, los- ing all contact with him, and not even informing us as to his whereabouts.
 If it is proposed to take action suggested, I recommend no information be given out, in order that we may stand some chance of surprising.
 If desired, I shall personally com mand. It would be desirable to re- place as soon as possible from avail able cavalry in the United States the cavalry taken from the border.
 (Signed)
 FUNSTON"

ports brought here today by scouts. American military authorities were impatient for orders to cross the border and assail the bandit leader before he had time to retreat farther into the interior of Chihuahua.
 With plenty of cavalrymen availa- ble tonight, Colonel Slocum and his officers were convinced that an order to cross the line now would mean a quick disposition of Villa
 When Major Frank Thompkins, of the Thirteenth cavalry, with hardly 200 men, took up the pursuit of the en- tire Villa force estimated at 2.400 men yesterday, the Mexicans fled fifteen miles. Six troops of cavalrp were ready and eager tonight to renew the chase.

 Every man in Columbus and even small boys were alert throughout the day, armed with rifles and revolvers. Guns captured from Mexicans when the American troops drove them from the town supplied arms for many of the civilians.
 Tonight the report that Villa again was advancing gained currency. Arm ed civilians. supplanting the two pa- trols put out by the military authori- ties. fired shots at everything that ap- peared to move in the desert brush surrounding the town.
 "Put Out the Lights"
 Shouts of Put out the lights" rang through the streets and military camps at 7.30 o'clock. but half an hour later there appeared no sign that Vil- Ia had reached the boundary with his army. The entire military force at the disposal of Colonel Slocum was ready. rowever, for a fight at a mo- ment's notice.
 During the day after 1t became known that the United States govern ments had decided to send troops in- to Mexico after Villa, army officers atives away. With civilian women alarmed by reports of another Villa attack, departures numbered scores.
 A squad of cavalry sent out today to investigate a report that Villa sol- diers had crossed the border and sur- rounded a patrol of the roth cavalry, returned tonight with a report that no Mexicans had been seen this side of the border.
 Mexican, Who Failed to Halt, Killed.
 At o'clock a report was recesved at headquarters of the Thirteenth cavalry that firing heard a few min utes earlier east of the town was the result of the failure of a Mexican to halt on order of patrol. The Mex ican was killed. A few minutes later the lights again were turned on in the cavalry camp and the town.
