Sheriff Roof and two deputies had
charge Of the two prisoners, who were
thoroughly handcuffed. The party
travelled to Charleston in an ordinary
coach. They came in the face of the
governors announcement that in no
circumstances would they leave Sa-
vannah Saturday night. The hasty
departure from Savannah to which
they had been spirited from Augusta
after the mob demonstration, evident

So secret was the movement that
County Sheriff Joseph NJ. Poulnot was
not apprised of the fact that he was
to be responsible for the safety of the
two men until they are removed from

TWO PRISONERS MAKE
FULL CONFESSION
NO GOOD IN LYNCHING.
"The Law Has Done Its Part in Cap
turing the Murderers and it Will
Punish Them"

VI. E. Brazell, the father of Will
liam Brazell, the slain taxi driver,
in a statement given The State yes
terday made personal appeal
against mob violence, asking that the
officers be allowed to bring the pris-
oners to trial and punishment un-
molested.
81 am a law abiding man." Mr..
Brazell said, "and though I know
that no punishment, however cruel,
could possibly be too severe for these
men, yet 1 would prefer to see the
law allowed to take it's course.
The lynching of the three men, or
two of taem, can not give me back
my boy and it may possibly cost
the life of some of my friends or
my murdered boys friends. 1t is
the sworn duty of the sheriff to pro-
tect his prisoners and I should not
blame him for protecting them from
a mob any more than l should blame
him for risking his life to hold them
should their friends attempt to res
cue them. If 1 were in the sheriff's S
place I should hold them if it cost
me my life and now expect the
sheriff and other officers to do like
wise. I should be true to my oath;
they will be true to theirs.
"The representatives of the law
first arrested the men, who otherwise
might by now have made good their
escape, and I know that the law can
be trusted to hold them and to pun
ish them for their brutal crime. The
death or injury of a sheriff or of
some friend of mine or my boys
will not help me to bear my loss. If
I were to read tomorrow that Fox
and Gappin had been lynched I
should feel no better or happier than
I do now. These men have broken
the law and will be punished with
out delay by the law. The lynching
of them will not make their punish
ment more certain. Two crimes do
not make a right. The law has done
its part in capturing the murderers
and obtaining the evidence against
them; it will do the rest by punish
ing them"
Mr.. Brazell also made his appeal
in person to men, supposed to be
members of the mob, asking them to
discontinue any efforts to take the
men from the hands of oficers.-The

Means Of Persecution.

Judge Reuben L. Haskell spoke las,
night at the West Harlem Republican
Club. 2o6 West 181st street, and gave his
audience some reasons why he believes
he should be elected Mayor and get the
regular Republican nomination al the

Every enrolled Republican must adj

office are 10 be named by fusionists aud
coaliuonfsts there is no necessity FOR a
party organization or enrolment. The
whole process OF designating candidates
can bo left to self-constitu,ed vest rocket
committees.
Prohibition Is an issue on the ouos-
tion OF law enforcement. and because
the Hylan administration has turned tho
law into an instrument for persecution.
Instead or enforcing the law irnpartially.
"If a candidate for Mayor Of New
York city has no convictions upon the
subject OF prohibition and personal lib
erty he is too much OF a weak sister TO
execute properly the duties OF Mayor
II he has convictions on the eubiect and
refuses TO state them In clear cut fash
ion. but evades the subject IN which the
public Is so much interested we can only
conclude that In the same manner he

important duties affecting the Office OF
Mayor OF this city.

nouncel yesterday that several public
meeting7" were to be held in Tammany
Hall or elsewhere during the next month,
when the "peoplS would be asked TO

Mr. McGcldrick, when quizzed upon

CIBRARIO'S FUNDS
RELEASED BY COURT
Exporter VIII Be Enabled to
Garry on Business and
Pay Lawyers.
SOYIETS WANT RECEIVER
Standing of Russian Govern
ment in U. ). Courts In
volved in Action.

Count jacques Cibrario. who is ac-
cused OF defraudins the Russian Soviet
Government out Of nearly 81 900, 900, for
which Doth civil and criminal actions
have been begun against him, won
point in the civil suit yesterday when
Supreme Court Justice McAvoy vacated
stay granted recently by Justice Was
servogel, tying up Cibrario's funds on
deposit with local banks.
Though thus permitting the exporter.
as he calls himself, to carry on his
business. Justice McAvoy reserved de-
clsion on the application OF Charles
Recht. representing the Soviets for a
receivership of the dozen corporations
through which the Count" operates.
In arguing for such a receiyership, Mr..
Recht characterized Cibrarios dealings
with the Russians as one OF the greatest
exhibitions of high finance yet dis
closed to the American public. He re-
cited that Cibrario was awarded a
contract to supply motion picture ma
chimes and projecting equipment for use
in the Soviet schools, on which he was
to make an enormous profit. He asserted
corporations to place orders for this
equipment, and obtained In their name
most of the Soviet s1,000.000 on deposit
with the National City Bank.
This sum. approximating S900,o00.
Recht alleged, was deposited by Cibrario
outside the jurisdiction Of the local court.
yet in return FOR the vast sum the Rus
sian Soviet has received no goods Of any
practical value. Former Judge Herman
Joseph. representing Cibrario. denied
that the exporter had deviated in any
way from the terms of the contract made
with the Soviets. He claimed the Gov
ernment had received for every dollar
Withdrawn from its account In the Ma
tional City Bank exactly the goods that
had been contracted for and that no
moneys were withdrawn until the goods
were delivered.
He raised the point, moreover. that the
Russian Government has no standing In
the court, not having been recognized by
the United States Government, and that
in consequence it was beyond the power
even Of the Chief Justice OF the United
States to recognize a motion in behalf
OF the Soviets, and no Judiciary else
where would recognize an action brought
here. In trying to tie up Cibrario's prop
erty interests, Mr.. Josenh argued sue
cessfully. the Russian Government was
trying to go further than any judgment
creditor would be permitted 70 go by the
American courts.
The vacating OF the stay permits
Cibrario to continue his business and pay
his employees and attorneys.

IRISH AND GERMANS
ENTER CITY CAMPAIGN
Fight on Craig and Murray
Hubert Started.

Tho COMMITTEE OF Independent Dem
cratic Voters" which, according to
James d. Boyle. secretary OF the COM
mittee, represents several irish and
German societies, held q meeting last
night at the Hotel McAlpin and put it
self on record as opposed to the Tam
many denomination of Comptroller Craig
and the nomination OF Murray Hubert
for President of the Board OF Alder
men.
MIR. Boyle failed to mention the names
OF any Germanists as having taken part
In the meeting. He said that the op-
pos,tion to Murray Hubert was due to
the Dock Commissioners antagonism to
certain Irish and German policies and
that the opposition to Comptroller Craig
was based largely on general princi-
ples." Mr.. Craig being, Mr.. Boyle said,
"a resctlonary." IL was decided to name
James r. Finnegan as the committees
independent candidate for Comptroller
and James McGurrin OF The Bronx as
candidate for President OF the Board OF
Aldermen
Asked whom the committee intended
to support for Mayor Mr.. Boyle said
that he thought there was a great deal
of sentiment for Judge Haskell among
the members and some for Major
Curran.
Among Republican-Coalition leaders
the view was expressed that the COM
mittee Ia somo cunning device, originat-
Ing In Fourteenth street, for the pur-
pose Of artificially injecting the old war
element into the election and that the
supposed committee" Is being financed
In tho interests OF Tammany. Mr.
Boyle. however. was quite certain last
night that his organization wes bitterly
opposed to any Tammany man who had
been either anti-Trish or anti-Gerutan n
during tho war. and he was particularly
anxious 20 make Il understood that
Murray Hubert was the objective

ons Of The Bronx, Miss Margaret Han

drawn concerning his official activities
In the market inquiry from testimony
given by witnesses before the Meyer
committee and from the introduction Of
official documents as part Of the com
mittee's record.
The committee has gone to extraordl-
nary lengths, Hirshfield stated, in intro
ducing inferential and unsupported testi-
mony in violation OF rules OF evidence
practised In the courts. As a result. he
said, half truths and inferences impli-
eating officials" have been spread broad
cast through newspapers.
Denies Whitewash Verdict.
The particular cause of his complaint.
Hirshiield said, was an inference that ne
had not made thorough Investigation OF
reports that there had been attempted
grating in granting q permit for stand
to Mrs. Bertha Katenkemp. IT was
made to appear. he said. that no had
carried on a whitewashing inquiry by
prearrangement with Commissioner
OMalley TO cover an officials alleged
dereliotion.
Three witnesses testified before the
Meyer committee that Charles A. Winter,
general inspector of tho Department of
Markets, had demanded first $1,000 and
then $500 as the price for issuing a
permit to Mrs. Katenkemp. The money
was deposited with William Minder,
president OF the Washington Market
Association. who interfered and obtained
the permit without paying the money.
Mrs. Katenkemp and Minder testified at
the Hirshfield investigation into the
transaction requested by O'Malley.
If Minder has $500 OF Mrs. Katen-
kernp's money in his safe. as he testified
yesterday. that fact was withheld from
me by BOTH" tho Commissioner OF Ac-
counts said. 'If there was any under
standing between them and O'Malley
they kept that away from me. IF Minder
and Mrs. katenkemp testified truthfully
before the Meyer committee their testi-
mony before me was not true. If they
had testified before me as they did yes

matter. l did not believe at that time

closed. got hold OF lot of old lumber
and packing cases. and by dint of much
hard work erected half a dozen shacks
and q flagpolo on t. The shacks were
not much from an architectural stand
point and probably the Municipal Art
Commission and other art artists would
have condemned them, but they were
highly practical from boys standpoint.
Every morning bright and early the
boys had flag raising. accompanied
by toots on an old bugle and squad
drill. Every evening the flag was sol

Yesterday the boys piclssted the lot
and every picket bore a legend OF which
the following are samples:
