some persons who have been intrusted
with the task Of suppressng the illegal
sale of liquor, thus paralyzing the
efforts of the government to enforce
the prohibition act.
If indictments are returned by the

as witnesses not only saloonkeepers,
but policemen. chauffeurs, teaming
contractors and notaries. In the main
these latter officers Of the law are
those whose names have been forged

Plea of McMullin
TO Be Self-Defense.
Counsel Announces
Will Try to Prove Former
Dry Agent Was Struggling
With Chauffeur When the
Fatal Shot Was Fired

The trial of Stewart ~ McMullin.
former prohibition agent, charged with
tho murder of Harry Carlton, a chauf-
fcur, was resumed yesterday before
Judge Julius Mayer in the United
States District Court, after the court
had denied motion for McMullin's
acquittal The state rested its case
Monday. Counsel for the defendant
contcnded that the evidence produced
was not sufficient to prove McMullin'a
guilt
In his opening statement to the jury
John E. Joyce, Assistant United States
United States Attorney Francis Caffey
IN the defense of McMullin, asserted
they expected to prove that McMullin
killed Carlton in self f-detense.
Joyce reviewed the story of the al
legged whisky plot that led to the kill
ing, and pointed out that there were
three eye witnesses to the tragedy-the
two Carni women and McMullin.
Say McMullin Was Attacked
Mrs. Anna Carini and her daughter,
Malvina, who saw the killing in the
house at 234 East Seventy sixth Street,
testified that Carlton entered the front
room with his hands above his head
ard that McMuilin shot him at close
range from the fire escape. Joyce said
the defense would prove that McMullin
and Carlton were struggling on the
fire escape when the shot was fired.
1--WE will show" he declared, "thas
McMulin saw Carlton and two men in
the kitchen and that Carlton said Let
me get him. and came at McMullin
with a knife. Carlton came out on the
fire escape after McMullin. They
struggled We will explain how Carl
ton was shot behind the ear by show
ing that McMullin's gun hand went un-
der Cartoons arm, so that it was be-
hind him when the shot was fred"
Much of Joyce's statement was de-
votsd to resume of the alleged plans
entered into between William d. va
selli, government agent, and Carlton
for the purchase Of liquors. lie said
testimony would show that James Shev-
lin, then supervising prohibition en-
folcement agent, indorsed Yaselli' :
plan TO locate illegal liquor stocks by
using Carlton as a dupe, and assigned
McNullin and two other agents to as
sisthm.
Government Agent Testifies
"The defense will show said Joyce

apartment in East Seventy-sixth Street
on the night of March II, until he was
assigned by prohibition authorities on

defense. Nc tod in detail Of the visit

When old Prince. truck horse belong

day afternoon in front of the Horse Aid
Society's stables. at No. 14s West Thirty
eighth street with his nose right over
a bag of well selected feed. he didn't wait
to be invited to nave New Years dinner.
He just fell TO on the appetizing and un-
expected meal and topped off with carrots,
Then, wearing a contented look, he
waited patiently while the three small
Zechowitz children, Mr.. Zechowitz, three
neighbor's shildren and dog, were again
slowed away in the delivery wagon and
started back home.
Prince had joined the feed line, organized
by Mrs. Jacob NJ. Ehrlich, founder of the
animal organization, who has established
this new phase of her charity to continue
one week. Quantities of mixed feed were
also distributed with the New Year s
dinners to be taken home for an extra
meal Mrs. Ehrlich and her associates
were at the stable at nine o'clock in the
morning and worked until six clock, dur

scores of horses. ~
So busy were the women workers that

ticed that they were being given to the
other drivers, and began filling his fish
wagon. When Mrs. Ehrlich saw what
he was doing she climbed up on the front
seat and relieved him of the share that
did not belong to him.
Another driver tried the same tactics,
but he. too. was thwarted. The Fl. c. of
L. has materially affected the poorer
stables where one horse is kept by small
scrap dealer or an Independent hauler.
The average cost of food for a horse
now is IS week, according to Mrs. Ehr-
Itch. and few of the poorer drivers can
afford this She declared that three repu-
table veterinarians in the city had told
her that most of the city horses Were un-
derfed and that some have to work for
two days at a time without food. The
cost OF oats has almost doubled.
In view of this extra demand made upon
the pedlers the Horse Aid Society has
raised fund with which to supply free
feed for several days. and when that
money is gone. If there is still a demand
for free hay and oats, more money will
be raised. Each case is investigated by
the society's representatives Mrs. Ehrlich

In the stables are five horses that are
too old and too decrept to continue work.
