listening in on telephone conversations
opened before Justice Kelby in the
Criminal Branch Of the Brooklyn Su-
preme Court.
Dean Potter. lawyer; his fother, the
late Rev. Daniel c. Potter, and the Rev.
William b. Farrell charged that through
the Police Department, and without
justification, Commissioner Kingsbury
and William II. Hotchkiss, Kingsbury's
counsel during the Strong investiga-
ton. violated their constitutional rights
in recording conversations over tele-
phones in their homes.
Police Commissioner Arthur Woods
in testifying yesterday, said that he
had had the wires Of the Potters and
Father Farrell tapped at the sugges-
ton Of either Kngsbury or Mayor
Mitchell, he SAID he was not sure which,
and after Hotchkiss had told him that
there was reason 20 believe a con-
spiracv to commit a crime. the nature
Of which he could not recall.
District Attorney Harry +. Lewis
who brought about the indictments OF
Kingsbury and Hotchkiss. handled the
case for the state. and Martin W. Lit
Teton appeared for the defendants
The Jury was chosen by noon. and
Lewis. in opening his case. said that
he would prove that Kingsbury asked
Mayor Mitchell 10 have the wires IN
question tapped after kinesbury had
learned from William J. Burns. the
private detective. Of the existence OF
the Police Department overlapping
squad.
Lewis added that he would prove that
after receiving the reports from Com
missioner Woods and Mayor Mitchell
Kingsbury and Hotchkiss used them
during the investigation.
Charles II. Strong. the commissioner
before whom the probe into the State
Board of Charities on the complaint OF
Commissioner Kingsbury was conduct
ed, testified that he knew Of no attempt
on the part of DR.. Potter or Father
Farrell TO commit crime in connec-
tion with the investigation.
Homer Folks. the State Charities Aid
Associations secretary. swore that he
had suggested Commissioner Strong
name TO Governor Whitman when il
was decided to institute the charities
investigation, and that Commissioner
Kings bury had conferred with the Gov
ernor on the suggestion.
Commissioner Woods. the last wit
ness of the day. told of the work of the
re-tapping squad, but was unable TO
describe the room in a Church Street
building in which il was housed, be-
cause he had never been there, he said.
He then identified three Police Depart

pany for permission 10 tap the wires
Of the Potters and Father Farrell.
Either Commissioner Kingsbury or
Mayor Mitchell requested that the
wires be tapped" the Commissioner
said in answer TO question by Judge
Lewis. 81 can't be sure of which. My
impression. however, is that il came
from the Mayor

They were able to make no definite

Rintelen, Lamar
And Martin Each
Get Year in Jail
Kaiser's Agent To Be Tried
Next Month in Fraudu-
lent Passport Case
BY BRIGGS

Captain Franz Rintelen and his fell
low conspirators, David Lamar, the
wolf of Wall Street." and Henry B..
Martin. were sentenced yesterday by
Judge Cushman in the United States
District Court to serve a year in the
Mercer County Jail, at Trenton, y. j.
As Rintelen will be put on trial again
next month on charges of perjury and
conspiracy, involving the issuance OF
fraudulent passports, and after that
NAV be prosecuted for an alleged con-
spiracy in which the late Nictoriano
Huerta was said to have been involved,
he was locked up in the Tombs under
$4,000 bail.
Lamar will not begin his term at
Trenton until he has finished the two
year term in Atlanta, to which he was
sentenced last year. Martin was re-
leased in $4,000 pail pending his APP
peal.
Others To, Be Tried in Fall
x-Representatives Frank Buchanan
and II. Robert Fowler and Herman
Schulteis, co-defendants with Rintelen,
Lamar and Martin, as to whose guilt
the jury disagreed, will be tried again
in September. The Indictment against
the seventh defendant. Jacob l.. Taylor,
probably will be dismissed. Taylor's
health is wrecked and the evidence
against him at the trial was weak.
Alfred Massey. counsel for Rintelen,
asked the court to send his client TO a
military detention camp. He pleaded
against imprisoning Captain Rintelen
L. f.,t m.
sinners and violators of the Mann law.
Rintelen, he said, had been brought for
trial from British camp, where he
had been prisoner for eighteen
months. and he hoped u receive similar
treatment from the United States.
Judge Cushman replied that he could
not impose such a sentence. although
he should like to do so. Rintelen ex-
pressed himself as satisfied with the
sentence to the Mercer County jail.
Other Charges Against Lamar
Bail was fixed at $4,000 in his case
on the representations of John {.
Knox, Assistant United States Attorney,
who informed the court of the inten-
ton of the government TO bring Rim
telen to trial on the other charges
against him.
Rinteen had large amounts of money
at his command, Mr.. Knox declared.
and unless his bail were high would
have no difficulty in obtaining his lib
erty. In that event, he continued, the
German captain would be rearrested at
once as a potentially dangerous alien
enemy.
Rintelen will remain in the Tombs
until the passport charges are brought
TO trial. Several fellow countrymen
living in New York are said to have
been implicated with him in the Huerta
plot to SOW discord between the United
States and Mexico.
