sistant District Attorney, that unless
he could show authority for questions
he had asked Charles w. Calvin. of
the brokerage firm of Calvin G. Co., be-
fore the grand jury August last, the
court would dismiss two indictments

"I'll dismiss the indictments unless

the court "T1hey are not only illegal,
but pre- judicial as to prejudice the
minds of the jury against him"
The District Attorney" replied Mr..

wrongdoers are punished"
That is very laudable wish but
ne must do it according to law" Judge
Mulqueen rctorted.
Mr.. Dooling said he will submit a
memorandum urging the Judge to deny

Pastors Wife Quits Him;
Differing Stories Told
Rev. Carl ]. Lucas Hints at
eternal Triangle" and
Quotes Wesley

1t became known yesterday that Mrs.
Carl j. Lucas, wife Of the pastor of
the German Evangelical Lutheran
Church, in New Jersey Avenue, near
Liberty Avenue, Brooklyn, deserted him
several years ago and left note say
ing she was "tired of being the wife of
a clergyman, with the restrictions i'm
posed on her as SUCH"
Mr.. Lucas admitted yesterday that
his wife had left him and said she had
left correspondence which he later
submitted to the church council, at the
same time offering to resign. The coun-
Gil, the minister added, refused to ac-
cept his resignation, absolving him
from all blame and passing a resolu-
tion criticizing his wife's conduct.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lucas were married
little more than six years ago. She
was Miss Maudie Hess. of Toledo, Ohio.
The minister said yesterday his wife's
whereabouts were unknown to him, and
that it was simply the old story of an
eternal triangle." He quoted John
Wesley, saying his sentiments were
therein reflected, as follows:
"He did not ask her to go away and
he did not ask her to return"
Leslie Finkelday, secretary of the
church council, did not agree with the
minister. He said Mr.. Lucas had made
no statement to the council that third
man was involved in the disappearance
of his wife. and that he had evinced no
desire to resign. Finkelday also denied
that he and his associates had passed
a resolution criticizing Mrs. Lucas.

The Tammany leaders in the board

been characterized by the Republicans
as another drive on the part Of Mayor
Hylan against William l.. Ettinger,

Supreme Court Justice-elect Squiers
protested against the opinion handed

thlrty-seven votes were all that we're

all matters involving finance, and sug-

Friedman.
No one answered him. Alderman
Friedman then declared that if it was
passed by less than fifty-fve votes the
Republicans would sue out an injunc-
ton.
Majority Leader Kenneally put the
resolution to vote.
Accuracy Of Tally Attacked
The clerk of the board announced
that the vote was 81 to 49,
Alderman Quinn declared the vote
was not accurate. The result of a Sec

four affirmative votes.
There are only thirty-one votes in
favor of it," exclaimed Alderman
Quinn.
The resolution is lost, anyway" said
President Moran.
Some Of the Tammany members who
favor the resolution declared they
would move it next week, when they
expect to get the thirty-seven votes.
Several Tammany men voted against it
yesterday.

Law abiding residents of tho Red

settled down to their daily routine for
the first time in months. reasonably
assured that their tranquility would be
undisturbed. For Sibio Nappio had
lodged in prison, with the prospect
that tor some time he will be removed
from their lives.
Sibio is known as bad actor Twen-
ty-seven years old and quick with a
gun or his hands, he had gained such a
reputation that his followers dubbed
him "the bully Of Red Hook" His
clashes with the law were more or less
frequent, but it was his won't to have
his henchmen do his more dangerous
work. so that he always steered clear
of serious trouble. But in the last es-
capade of his gang Siblo took q much
larger bite than he could chew.

Nappio's friends did not desert him
Mt his trial. Lots Of them were in the
courtroom yesterday. and County Judge
May was compelled to eject them when
the prisoner was found guilty, because
OF their mumbled protests and threats.
Finally it became necessary to clear
the corridors.
Only once did Nappio betray emotion.
That was during Assistant District At

when the prosecutor threatened to re-
veal the prisoners character. Nappio
leaped to his feet and cried:
"Take me out of here! Put me in the
pen! l don't want to stay here!"
AS he was being led to a cell the
prisoner turned toward Detective
Eason, who had arrested him, and
shouted
"You got me this time, but III get
