Court Suspects Collusion
In Ebbets Divorce Case
Orders Baseball Club Owner
and Wife to Appear Before
Decision Is Given

Charles II. Ebbcts, owner of the
Brooklyn baseball club, and Mrs Min
ME II. Ebbcts were ordered yesterday
to appear before Justice Benedict. of
the Supreme Court, Monday, to undergo
inquiry concerning their divorce case.
Justice Benedict said he suspected
collusion.
Counsel for Mrs. Ebbets applied last
week for confirmation of the referees
report recommending she be granted a
decree, and said at that time that the
question of alimony had been settled by
"gentlemen's agreement" Justice
Benedict prefaced his order with the
following:
Upon the trial Of this action for a
divorce before referee appointed bv
the court, and the stipulation of the
parties, the defendant did not attcmpt
to cross-examine the plaintiffs wit
fcndants employ, and no evidence on
the part Of the defendant was offered.
The plaintiff did not ask for alimony,
either in her complaint or on the trial
and it appeared that the defendant was
served at the Offices of his attorney.
The parties have been separated for a
long period, probably between five and
ten years, but both we're living in
Flatbush, not far from each other.
These circumstances, taken together,
tend to indicate prearrangcmcnt be-
tween the parties for a divorce, and re-
quire the court. before deter rmininy
whether or not to confirm the referees
report TO ascertain whether the par
ties were acting in collusion."

Yeggs Steal Safe
AS Police Watch:
Leave Bogus One
Four Detectives on Guard as
Papier Mache Dummy Is
Substituted and Strong
Box 'sCracked'' and Looted

Four detectives stationed at strategic
points, with drawn revolvers, guarded
the Blynn shoe store, at 1867 Broad
way, Brooklyn, on Sunday because thew
knew burglars were going to operate
there. This place is only block from
Mayor Hylan's home. While thew
watched the burglars substituted a safe
of papier mache for the real one. Then
they took the Blynn safe downstairs
and blew it open and escaped with
S2,OOO and several pairs of shoes.
The plot was discovered on Sunday
when persons in the apartments above
the store heard some one drilling,
They notified the police, and four de-
tectives from the Ralph Avenue sta
ton were sent to investigate. They
aiscovered there was hole six feet
nigh and four feet wide cut in the
wall separating the apartment house
from the store. AS nothing was miss
ing the detectives decided q robbery
was planned. They told the policeman
on the beat to keep away while they
captured the burglars.
Two detectives hid in the rear of
the building and two took up positions
in the front. These positions were
selected because the detectives thought
the robbers might try to open the safe
and they could keep it in view. They
kept that safe in view all night.
They had just made their report the
next morning when J. Wasserstrom,
manager of the Blynn store, rushed in
and shouted that the safe had been
broken open. The detectives were in
action Immediately and went back to
the store, where they peered through
the front door and saw the safe in its
accustomed position. They pointed to
it, but Mr.. Wasserstrom urged them
down the stairway to the cellar.
There they found the safe broken and
empty. The burglars had used a part
of the stores stock of rubbers to
deaden the sound of the charge, so that
the watching detectives would not be
disturbed Upstairs the detectives
found the dummy safe of papier mache
which they had watched during the
night.
Many holes were found about the
store, and the detectives were con-
vinced that they had been watched.
With this evidence they decided after a
conference that it was an "inside job"
so Detective harrington arrested the
stores porter, George Wassia, Of $50
Waverley Avenue. They said he must
be guilty of something because twenty
seven pairs Of shoes were found in his
home.

Alleged Anarchist
Says Police Beat
And Kicked Him
Alonen Tells Court He Was
Knocked Down During
Examination and Names
Members of Bomb Squad

Gust Alonen, who, with Carl Piavio,
is on trial for criminal anarchy, yes
terday charged brutality by members
OF the bomb squad when they examined
him at Police Headquarters, August 8,
following his arrest
The Finn gave what he swore to be
details of an hours examination, at
which James Gegan. acting sergeant
IN charge of the squad, and Charles
squad men were present. Alonen de-
clared that he denied having written
the article on the activity of the
Rioting Masses" published in "Class
Struggle" for which he was indicted.
Whereupon, he testified. the bomb
squad men began yelling" at him.
Gegan, he said, hit him several blows
in the face and Newman kicked him.
The latter, Alonen testified, also hit
him in the stomach with what he de-
scribed as blackjack. He fell, Alonen
testified, and the detectives shouted at
HIM to get up" He did and the beat
ing continued, he averred.
Finally. in order to stop the ordeal
Alonen told the court he gave the de-
tectlves four fictitious names of per-
sons he told them were back of "Class
Struggle" the alleged anarchist pub
lication.
Did they break your nose or YOUR
Jaw" Assistant District Attorney
Rorke asked Alonen.
No, but | spat blood"
Captain Swinburne Hale, counsel
for the defense, smiled when Mr.. Rorke
asked asked the forego1ng question, and the
prosecutor appealed to the court:
Counsel for the defense oupht to
regard this proceeding as d serious mat
ter"
There was an interlude in the prose-
cutor's severe cross-eXamination of
Alonen, when Justice Weeks questioned
the defendant, who advocates the TAX
ing over of the machinery of produc
tion by the proletariat Here are the
courts incidental questions and Alon-
ems responses:
DO you have any clothes?" "Yes."
"Do you want anybody to take them
away from you?" mo"
"Dld you have any money in the
bank?" "Yes, have $50 now"
DO you want to divide it up with
other persons?" "No."
do you want anybody to take it
away from you by force?" broke in Mr.
Rorke. "No, l never advocated prin-
ciples like that in my life"
Earlier in the day Piavio was on tho
stand, and when Justice Weeks asked
HIM whether he believed changes in the
government he advocated could be
brought about by peaceful means, he
said:
"Yes, I hope So"
Asked if he were an anarchist, the
defendant replied that he did not know
just what anarchy meant, but to his
mind it was an ideal of future So
ciety.
THE defendant evidently considers
a court a joke" Justice Weeks said
when Piavio smiled during his tcsti-
mony.
