BURR TRIAL CITED I.
IN PLEA FOR FRICKE
Admission Of Alleged Confess
sions Asked as Ground
for Dismissal.
REFUSED BY THE COURT
Judge Also Overrules Motion
to Strike Testimony From
the Record.

Thomas ]. O'Neill, counsel for Albert
Paul Fricke, went back yesterday TO
the trial in 1907 OF Aaron Burr for
treason in an effort to bring an end to
the trial OF Fricke before Judge Mayer
In the Federal District Court. The
lawyer moved that a mistrial be de-
clared on the ground that the admission
OF three alleged confessions by Fricke
TO Government officials before proof Of
an overt act had been given by two
witnesses was an error. The court de-
MED the motion.
Mr.. O'Neill read from the record of
Burr's trial an opinion Of Chief Justice
Marshall of the Supreme Court ruling
out testimony to statements alleged to
nave been made by Burr regarding a
project to set UP a new government in
dependent of the United States in the
mississippi Valley The court said:
No testimony relative to the conduct
or declarations OF the prisoner, else
where and subsequent to the transaction
on blennerhassets island, can be ad
mitted. because such testimony, being in
,ts nature merely corroborative and in
competent to prove the overt act itself,
Is Irrelevant until there be proof Of the
overt act by two Witnesses"
az Sio DUR tTldl the United Statee
attorney confessed defeat when the
court ruled out testimony as to Burr
alleged admissions He moved for the
dismissal Of the Indictment The defense
demanded that the case go to the fury,
Inc jury found verdict OF not guilty.
After Judge Mayer refused to declare
mistrial Mr.. O'Neill moved that the
confessions in which Fricke admitted
association with Herman Vessels, alias
Karl Rodiser, and Mime. Marie de VIC
torica, alleged German spies. after the
United States became a belligerent be
ordered stricken from the record. The
court denied this motion but said that II
the Government failed to prove an overt
act by two witnesses the action TO be
taken at the close of It's case would be
apparent.
Charles L. West and Mortimer Witt,
subordinates OF Fricke In the Office of
Richter & Co, in Washington street,
gave testimony relating to payments of
money by Fricke to Vessels.

Arthur LOeSser and
the Ampic0
In a Comparison Recital

The AMPICO, in our judg-
ment, is the finest producer in
the world, so far, of pianoforte
music. 1t has opened up a new
era in the history Of music. 1t
affords the means Of musical
education never before possible.
1t brings the joys Of the finest
music into every home it enters.
The AMPICO is a mechanism,
built into the CHICKERING and
other pianos. which reproduces
with absolute fidelity the actual
piano playing of great artists.
Rachmaninoff and Levitski, two
of the present seasons SEN
sations-following in the foot
steps of a hundred other great
pianists-have awarded to the
AMPICO the palm of pre-emin-
ence over all other reproducing
pianos.
Mr.. Loesser will play
LISTS transcription Of
Schubert's "Erl King" and
LISTS Rhapsody No. 10.
And the AMPICO will re-
produce Mr.. Loesser's for
mer playing of the same Sc
lection. The purpose Of this
comparison is to demon
strate the almost uncanny
capacity of the AMPICO 30
reproduce the individuality
of the artist, down to the
finest detail.
There will be no charge
for admission.

Daniel Sullivan said it was a freak
kind of Amelicanization that is being
taught in this city. Chairman NC
Mahon said he felt it was foolish to
go outside the state to secure q man
to conduct the local Americani ton
plan.
Lawyer LEVITT speaking on organ
ization said that he thought the dues
should be placed at 81 a year, to meet
running expenses. MI. sullivan want
ed the dues to be doubled where
members owned property in excess
value of $4,000. Mr.. Levitt said
1t was also proposed to appoint COM
mittees to go over the estimates and
to appear at city meetings and assist
in organization. He favored the plan
to have property owners go to their
tenants and notify them that their
rents were to be increased, and in
this way stimulate interest that would
get these people to the city meeting.

why the salary Of the city engineer

same salary as the state highway
