TO CALL M'MULLIN
IN HIS OWN DEFENCE
Prohibition Agent on Trial
for Murder Will Give His
Version.
PARTNER ALSO TESTIFIES
Tells How Accused Man Be-
lieved Gang Outside Was
Firing at Him.
PARTNER ALSO TEsTIFIEs

Stewart y. McMullin, prohibition en-
iorcement agent, on trial for murder,
VIII take the witness stand In his own
defence and describe the circumstances
that led to the shooting OF Harry Carl
ton, chauffeur. during q prohibition
raid at 2S4 East Seventy-sixth street
last March.
In opening for the defence yesterday
Assistant United States Attorney John
II. Joyce said McAIullip would testify,
even though 1t will be necessary for
him to tell the jury he has served two
terms in prison for forgery and for rob
berry in the second degree.
I'VE are going to call the defendant
because there were only three eye wit
nesses TO the killing OF Carlton. and ne
was one," Mr.. Joyce said. '.The other
two, Mrs. Carlo Carini and her daugh-
ter have testified for the. prosecution.
Judge JULIUS M. Mayer, before whom
McAfulln Is on trial for his life In the
Federal Court, previously denied n mo
ton to discharge the prisoner on the
ground that the proof Is insufficient to
sustain verdict of guilty
william ID. Yaselii, another prohibi-
ton agent, who worked with McMullen
on the night Carlton was shot, was the
first witness for the defence. He told
how Carlton had been go-between and
arranged the purchase of whiskey and
brandy from Carini not knowing that
Yaselli and McSIullln were revenue men.
After $3.50 had been paid to Carini for
the liquor, Yaselli said, he and McMuliin
took out their revenue badges and their
guns and shouted:
Throw up your hands. We are Gov
eminent agents and you are under ar
ress."
A scufle followed and Yaselli took
Carini to the street. where he met a
policeman, the witness testified. They
fired five shots to summon aid. Then
another shot was heard from inside the
house. Yaselli ran up stairs to the
Carini apartment and found Carlton
dead on the floor of the front room and
the Carini women in the kitchen. Nc
Mullin. he said, was climbing up the
fire escape.
u called. Is that you, Mac? and ne
answered, Yes
They're shooting up at me-" Yaselli
ontinued. II said Come down. It's all
right. fred those shots"
Yaselli had reached this point in his
testimony when court adjourned until
80 this morning.

WHETS BUDGET AXE
AS MORE Is ASKED
Estimate Board Starts Hear
ings to Determine Where
TO Slash S343. 100000

The Board OF Estimate began public
hearings yesterday 10 determine how 1t
may chop down the $4,000, 900 tenta-
tive budget between now and October 81.
when the budget must be adopted in final
form. The board received little coopera-
ton from ths various city departments,
but on the contrary was flooded with
oratory IN support OF appropriations for
everything from educational motion pic
lures to whooping cough inspectors.
Michael j. Cruise, Deputy City Clerk,
opened the session with plea for six
additional clerks for the Marriage L.
cense Bureau, which. he said, is away
behind in its work because people are
getting married in New York faster than
the inadequate force OF clerks can COM
plete the records.
The Board OF Estimate did not indicate
what it would do about this or any Of the
other numerous cases characterized as
urgent which were presented. The entire
budget will be reviewed in series OF
hearings first, and after all the evidence
is in the board win take UP consideration
OF where 20 let the axe fall. IL Is ex-
pected that the allowances to the various
other departments will be governed
largely BY what appropriations the Board
Of Estimate eventually makes to the
Board OF Education.
From The Bronx the inspectors OF
public improvements asked an increase
in their daily rate of $685. to a pre-
yailing rate" OF about $40 q day, where
unon Edward Riegelmann. President or
the Borough OF Brooklyn, asked that
the Brooklyn inspectors get q similar
boost.
o. d. Cocks, secretary OF the Natonal
Board of Review of the motion picture
industry. strongly urged that the Board
of Estimate appropriate the s34,2oe
asked by the Board of Education for
visual education" a new feature OF
budgetnry requests. Discussion brought
out assertions that there are not more
than half dozen films of real educa-
tional value in existence. and that a
single concern Is in position TO dis
tribute Aims of that character.
Dr. Royal 8. Copeland, Commissioner
OF Health declared his need OF much
additional help. including investigators
Of measles and whooping cough. thirty
more food inspectors. more patrolinen
assigned to his department, more money
for the departments dental clinic. bet
ter pay for field nurses and other items.
The FIRE telegraph despatchers asked
for an increase In pay which would give
them at least as much az mechanics I'M
der their supervision get. which is 20
a day. The captains and lieutenants OF
the Fire Department. whose apy, based
on tho August Increase, is s3.IS0 and
5000, respectively. asked increases to
$4,000 and $4,000.
The Board of Estimate will continue
its hearing this morning at 10 80 o'clock

RENEW DIVORCE FIGHT
AFTER A 4 DAY PEACE
Sidney Ash Chargse Wife
Again Has Left Him.

The divorce action OF Sidney Ash,
president OF Sidney Ash, Inc. OF this
city. against Mrs. Betty Graf Ash Of 20
Stephenson boulevard, New Rochelle.
which was halted a week ago when Mrs.
Ash returned home and agreed to live
with her husband forever was re-
opened yesterday in the Supreme Court
at White Plains. Mrs. Ash's reconcilia-
ton lasted for four days. according TO
counsel for her husband, and at the end
of that time she left the house and
failed to return, although she said she
would be gone but a few minutes. The
Ash action has attracted attention for
the reason that Bernard Kruger OF
Plainfield, y. j.. named by the plaintiff
MS responsible for the trouble, once
saved Mrs. Ash from drowning. A coun-
ter suit has been begun by the de-
PENDANT.
The rescue OF Mrs. Ash developed into
a close friendship. It is alleged, and
finally Kruger took up his residence al
the Ash home as a boarder. Eventually,
Mr.. Ash complains. Kruger took Mrs
Ash to California.

The delay in the departure OF the
crnarder Aquitania. which got away
