John Gaskins, forty-eight years old,
negro ianitor, was felled by two de-
tectives in front Of an apartment house
at ! West 112th Street shortly after
10 o'clock last night during fight,
after the detectives had arrested him
for selling drugs Illegally large
crowd that witnessed the fight threat
ened to mob the detectives. 1t WAS
necessary to remove Gaskins in an
ambulance to Harlem Hospital, where
it was said that he was suffering from
a possible fracture of the skull.
Detectives William Coakley and
Philip Ryan went to Gaskins's quarters
in the cellar of the apartment house,
having learned that Gaskins was en-
gagged in selling drugs. There were
three women and five men, all negroes,
in the apartment at the time, and, ac-
cording to the detectives, Gaskins was
selling them drugs when they entered.

Divorce Evidence
Framed" C. Court
Hints; Inquiry On
Justice Seeger, Aroused
by Actions of Witness
for Mrs. Eva S. Baltuck,
Declines to Grant Decree
Special Dispatch to The Tr;bune

WHITE PLAINS. June l. - Supreme
Court Justice Albert H. T. Seeger to-
day made b personal investigation of
evidence submitted TO him in the di-
vorce action of Mrs Eva S. Baltuck.
of 219 Audubon Avenue, Manhattan,
against her husband to discover
whether there had been collusion.
After the hearing, in which he de-
clined to grant decree, Justice Seeger
said he vas determined to stop ar
ranged divorces and that proceedings
would be instituted against persons
who attempted to prearrange evidence.
After hearing evidence in the Baltuck
case the justice SAID he was by no
means convinced a woman had been
with the defendant in hotel as testi
fed, suggesting that a man may have
impersonated a woman for the pur-
poses of evidence.
At previous hearing in the Baltuck
matter Harry Sorenson, who said he
was clerk at the Hotel de France, in
West Forty ninth Street, testified that
Baltuck and young woman registered
there April 2S last as man and wife
Because Of suspicion aroused by Soren-
sons testimony in the mind of the
court an inquiry was made into Soren-
sons identity. When questioned again
the supposed Sorenson forgot his name
for an appreciablc space Of time while
OH the stand. The reason became ap-
parent when a young man wearing
spectecles, who took the stand later
said he was Harry Sorenson and that
he knew nothing about the case. He
mad not been summoned to produce the
hotel register,
The real Sofenson was asked whether
he could Identify Baltuck, who was in
court, and he failed to do so. The
clerk said hc had seen no woman whe n
man named Baldwin" according to
the hotel register, signed for his room
at the Hotel de France; he was ac-
companied by another man named Rey-
nolds, whom the clerk knew by sight.
There is no evidence that there was
woman with this defendant" said
Justice Seeger. 81 am satisfied that the
hotel clerk has been impersonated here
and this is very peculiar case. one
that requires investigation. 1t looks to
me as though some of these witnesses
were trying to fool the court as. we'll
as the lawyers"
All evidence in the case was turned
ever to District Attorney Lee Parsons
Davis at White Plains for examination.
