District Attorney
Subp9naes Haggin
In Art Fund Inquiry
Portrait Painter Is Asked TO
Explain Why He Did Not
Turn Over Proceeds of
Exhibit to War Orphans
By BRIGGS

Ben Ali Haggin, the portrait
painter and heir to his grandfather's
large estate, was questioned yesterday
by Assistant District Attorney Edwin
p. Klroe about the proceeds of an
exhibition Of paintings given a year
ago last month in the art galleries Of
jacques Selgmann & Co., 705 Fifth
Avenue, for the benefit of destitute
families Of French artists in the war.
Eugene Glaenzer member Of the
Seligmann firm, said he gave free use
of his gallery to Mr.. Haggin, with the
understanding that d commission on
the sale of paintings and the proceeds
of the sale OF catalogues, which cost
81 each should be turned over to be
forwarded by Mr.. Seligmann to Paris
Mr. Glaenzer said Mr.. Haggin never
had turned over the money or replied
to letters.
Mr. Haggin did not respond to the
subpoena, but, over the telephone,
said he had sold no paintings as a re-
suit Of the exhibit and therefore
there was no money to turn over.
He said he had not agreed to de-
vote the proceeds of the catalogues
and referred Klroe TO the fly leaf in
them, which explained that a commits
sion on sales of paintings would be
devoted to the French war sufferers.
Mr.. Glaenzer told Mr. Kilroe that
two young women who sold the cata-
logues during the two weeks of the
exhibit, explained to buyers that their
dollar would be used as war charity.
Mr.. Kilroe was obliged to leave the
city yesterday for several weeks The
investigation will continue when he

point in law not passed on since
the trial of Aaron Burr was brought up
yesterday before Judge julius NJ.
Mayer in the Federal District Court
where Albert Paul Fricke is being tried
for treason.
Thomas J. O'Neill, counsel for Fricke,
moved that the court declare a nlistrial
and order the three alleged confessions
of his client stricken from the record
He contended that these documents
should not have been admitted in evi-
dence until the prosecution had pro-
duced the testimony Of two witnesses

the case Of the United States against
aaron Burr and read ino the record
the opinion Of Chief Justice John Mar
shall on that case in 1907 Justice Mar
shall thus expressed himself
NO testimony relative TO the conduct
or declarations of the prisoner else
where and subsequent to the transac-
tlon on Blennerhassett Island can be
admitted because such testimony, being
in its nature merely corroborative, and
incompetent to prove the overt act in
Of the overt act by two witnesses"
Judge Mayer declined to reverse his
former ruling. He stated, however,
that if at the close of the case the
prosecution failed to prove the overt
act by two witnesses the result of the
proceedings would be apparent. He
also denied motion by Mr.. O'Neill to
have the three alleged confessions
stricken from the record. These were
admitted over the protests Of the de-
fence last week.
Charles L. West, bookkeeper for
merly employed by Fricke, was the
Wost important witness of the day. He
testified to ten checks, aggregatine
$4,000, which he had paid to Car
Roediger, the alleged German spy, in
1917. He swore the checks were signed
by Fricke and that he himself, after
cashing them, had turned the money
over to Roediger. West testified that
after the arrest of Roediger in 1915
Fricke Informed him (West) that he
had lent the alleged spy $4,000 per
sonally to get rid Of him.
The trial will be continued this
morning.
