Another witness for the Govern
ment testified that besyre the name
OF Emerson. yesterday also was
known as Mr.. Stewart" when he
WAS associated with the brokerage
firm. The witness testified that
yesterday had stated that he desired
o use the assumed name because
he had been connected In previous
bankruptcy proceedings and did not
want to use his real name for fear
IL would ombarrass the firm OF Sui
Ivan d CO. by whom he was en-
ployed
While the Government has oon-
tended that "Nicky" ArRstein, OF New
York, was the master mind OF the
plot to hypo thecate in Washington
stolen securities, up to noon today
his name had not been identified as
having been associated with the firm
OF Sullivan & Co. nor was II testined
that he had any personal knowledge
or connection with the theft OF bonds
and negotiable securities from mes
senCcrs employed by brokers In the
Wall Street (New York; financial

ARNsTEIN APPEARS UNCON-
CERNED.
Although taking keen interest in
the testimony offered by the Govern
ment. Arnstein. | nthe custody OF
New York United states deputy mar
shall. has manifested no fear of the
outcome Of the trial in which he Is
alleged to be the principal figure.
Probably the most nervous of tho
quartet on trial is Bowles. the
Washington lawyer and former
member Of the brokerage frnS OF
Sullivan & Company. That the Gov
eminent intends to Introduce evil
denco TO show that Bowles and
Sullivan broke faith with the New
York Consolidated Stock Exchange
when they permitted yesterday to
, work as an cmployc of the firm. was
e, idenced at the morning session
yesterday.
James Lynch. secretary of the
Consolidated Stock Exchange. tes-
tilted that when Bowles was sold a
scat on the floor OF the exchange
he promised not to have any busi-
ness dealings with yesterday, and
he quoted BowIes ms having stated
"Easterday Will never cross my
threshold" Despite this alleged
promise, the Government has shown
that yesterday was in the cmploye
10. the brokerage firm, or was ire
quently seen in the firms offices
not only here in Washington but
in New York.
GLUCk Is SENSATIONAL CARD.
Justice Gould early yesterday az
ternoon adjourned trial Of the four
alleged consiprators until o'clock
this afternoon. The justice ycstcr-
day afternoon had conferred upon
him the degree of doctor of laws
at the Georgetown University. This
morning he empaneled a jury for
the December term OF court and
resumed this afternoon.
While the Government has shown
that many OF the securities stolen in
Wall street were hypothecated in f.
nancial institutions in Washington. II
has not as yet been proven that sui.
livan and Company actually knew
or had any knowledge that the bonds
and stocks had been stolen before
they were brought here for pcgotiR-
ton
The sensation of the trial is ex-
pccted when Joseph Gluck, a former
Wall street messenger, is placed on
the witness stand by the Government.
Cluck has pleaded guilty in New York
to tho theft of securities from Wall
street messengers and is said to have
implicated Arnstcin and others in the
negotiation Of the securities.
Gluck will probably be called by
tho Government tomorrow.
