Commissioner Barrett for taking no
action.
The Governor said Commissioner
Garrett had no such power under the
Public Service law. After .he confer

probable that any court action will be
sought by the city. AIR. O'B,en said
he probably would issue a statement

Commissioner Barrett, and at tie Gov

issued a statement making it ear
irst what powc. the commission had

WASHINGTON, Dec 2.-Efforts to
seal the lips Of witnesses in the trial
OF Jules W. (Nicky) Arnstein and the
other defendants, who are on trial here
in connection with the alleged theft of
stocks and bonds from messengers for
Wall Street brokerage houses, were
testified to before Justice Gould in the
Supreme Court of the District of Co.
lumba to-day.
The witnesses involved Assistant
District Attorney John T. Dooling. of
New York, and Norman S. Bowles, one
of the defendants in the tria in the
district court here, as having threat
ened to implicate them if they testified
to tao much of what they knew.
D. W. Brewer, a messenger for q
Wall Street brokerage firm, told the
court that Assistant District Attorney
Dooling had brcNvbcatcn and threatened
him, warning him not to talk too
much.
Daniel Jacobs, formerly an employee
of the brokerage firm of D. w. Suli-
van & Co.. Of this city, testified that
Bowles had told him ''he might incrim-
mate himself if he testified"
The First Sensation
The statements Of the two witnesses
created the first sensation in the local
trial of the alleged bond thieves, who
are specifically chalged in the District
of Columbia courts with having brought
approximate $26O,00O worth of the
stolen securities into Washington and
disposed of them here.
Attorney William j. Fallon, repre-
senting the defendants, questioned
Brewer at length. When the witness
had made his charge against Mr. Dool-
ing it was permitted to go into the
record of the trai, after James B
Archer, whc is ss'sting District At
torney LasRey in prosecuting the case,
had strenuously objected to it's adms-
sion.
Brewer testified that Mr. Dooling
several times told him in New YORK
that he had better be careful what he
testified to- The New York Assistant
District Attorney sent him twenty avo
subj pnas in the case. and each time
he appeared at Mr. Dooiing's Office the
threats were repeated, the witness said.
Attorneys OF the National Suretv
Company, which carrled majority
of the loss through the theft Of the
securit es, also warned him to be care.
