GlaZer was brought to Indianapolis
early this morning, following an order
given yesterday by Judge Anderson for
his appearance, and asked to explain how
he came to accept over $500 from the
three foreigners, strikers IN Gary and
East Hammond, after he knew they had
confessed to the crime of breaking into
freight cars, and misleading them into
thinking he could free them.
At the close of the hearing Judge An
derson demanded of Glazer, How many
times have you said that soviet form of
government like Russia's red government
should be established in this country :?
How long have You been engaged in
spreading Russian propaganda? 2"
81 have not done so, your honor. I
have said that the soyiet or red govern
ment is not practical in this country, and
I have not been engaged at all In Rus
sian propaganda" replied Glazer.
'Well. I'm going to find out" said the
Judge. wen not waste any more time"
And Glazer vainly argued that he was
not a Iawless citizen and denied .aat he
had taken any unfair advantage of the
three defendants In handling their case.
KaroI Michlaski. Alex GOrsky and Felix
Miller, three defendants involved in the
Glazer case, changed their pleas of not
guilty to guilty in federal court yester-
day, and admitted that they had broken
into freight cars and stolen a large qua
tity of merchandise.
After they had made a signed state
ment to the Gary police, 1t is said that
Glazer having been retained as an at
torney, advised the men to enter pleas
Of not guilty and accepted from Miller's

attorneys fees. Gorsky today told Judge
Anderson that Glazer demanded $500
from him, but that he was unable to fur
nish that much money.
The three defendants were hailed be-
fore Judge Anderson this morning, short
Iy after the court convened, and Judge
Anderson carefully asked questions con-
corning the case before he called Glazer
Miller, IN broken English, explains
that they had broken into the cars and
were ARRESTED.
'Glazer told the police where to hnd

What your attorney, say you. heard
your story, and after you had told him
that you had broken into the cars he
went and told the police where to 10

Miller said this was the case.

IN an audible undertone.

court sternly.

Glazer sought to explain the case from
the time relatives of the three men came
to employ him as an attorney,
Come to the point" insisted Judge
Anderson.
Il am, your honor
"You bet you are"
And Glazer emphatically denied thai
the three men had told the truth. He in
sisted shat they had told him that they
bad signed the confession before the po-
lice only because they had been heater
and were intimidated by the officers
