Lawyer for Defense
Called as Witness
In Even Will Case
Contestants Produce Letters
in Which Attorney Told
Nephew of Woman's Trip
to Europe With Preacher

In an effort TO prove the alleged in
competency of Miss Maria Louise Even,
whose will is being contested before
Surrogate Foley and jury. counsel for
John Even, nephew Of the testatrix,
who is the contestant, placed on the
stand as witness yesterday Arthur
c. Train, attorney for the executors
who are defending the will.
William R. Wilder, attorney for Mr..
Even, introduced, through Mr. Train
several letters written by Train in 1911
augge sting to the nephew of the dece-
dent that some one should be appoint
ed to take charge of Miss Ewens prop
erty These letters were written three
months after Miss Even had annulled
her marriage to Baron Soto Won
Koenitz, a bogus nobleman.
One of the letters written by Mr..
Train read: 1T is an urdeniable fact
that Maria Louise Even. since her un-
fortunate marriage, is acting more and
more peculiarly. She mas suddenly
gone abroad with a young churchmsn Il
named Nelson. who mas gwen up his
church connections, and don't believe
that his motives are altogether altru-
istic. A clergyman, however, is some
what better than an eX-ccnvict. am
calling this to your attention, as l be-
lieve that male member of the family
should ask the courts to intervene and
take charge of her property
The clergyman referred to in the
foregoing letter is the Rev. Aubrey
Percy Nelson, now curate Of St. Luke's
Protestant Episcopal Church, at Con
vent Avenue and 141st Street. He lived
for time at the home Of Miss Even
who left him $4,000 n her will.
Mr.. Train was asked whether the
letter reflected his opinion of Miss
Even in 1911. The attorney defending
the will explained that the letter wa;
written in view of the fact that the
testatrix had just cleared herself o.
an unfortunate marriage and then sud

trate Ten Eyck's court he said it had
nothing but grape juice in it. Deputy
Assistant District Attorney James Will
son suggested that Jonas consent to
the kegs being opened so that some
one connected with the court and
qualified to tell the difference between
root beer, grape juice and wine could
sample it.
Jonas gave his consent, and JOSEPH
Yarchover, finger print expert, was sc
lected to decide the nature of the kegs
contents. Court adjourned to the cor
ridor. The finger print expert was on
the verge of knocking out the stopper
of the keg when Jonas changed his
mind.
AS the court had no power TO open
the keg without Jonas's permission, the
court was at a loss what charge to
make against him. The magistrate
finally decided to hold Jonas and the
keg until to-day on the technical
charge of transporting liquor illegally
Two and half carloads of 5 per cent
beer were followed Yesterday from the
Van Ness yards Of the New York Cen
trail Railroad to the basement of the
warehouse of Sofia Brothers, at 1921
Intervale Avenue, the Bronx.
sThe beer was contained in bottles
that were packed in 500 sugar barrels

Maximum of 2O6 Years
Bronx Judge Warns Those in
Hold'Ups He Will Treat Them
as Potential Murderers

Declaring that he would deal with
hold-up men as potential murderers
when weapons had been used, County
Judge Louis D. Gibbs of the Bronx
sent out warning to criminals YES
terday when he sentenced nineteen Of
Tenders to total of zoe years maxi
mum, or 81 years min mum, in prison.
There was some fear that demon
stration might be attempted by friends
of the convicted men, and fifty detec-
tlves and patrolmen wer. stationed in
and near the building and no one was
permitted to enter without subpoena.
Joseph Monstrelli,. who, with five
others, pleaded guilty to two hold ups
of chicken dealers in Van Nest and
Hunts Point, was sentenced to twenty
years. John J. Rooney got from seven
20 sixteen years and James Gerard
from five to twelve years. Thomas
Nugent. the chauffeur of the car which
carried the bandits, was sent to Elmira,
because he "squealed" on the others.
The Judge publicly commended the de-
tectives responsible for the arrest Of
the men.

Hoxie Girl Murder Was False

Arraigned on charge Of beating Mrs.
Loretta Smith with an iron bar and
stealing articles from her home, 26 Jane
Street, James Brown. a negro, yester-
day contradicted his alleged confession
of the murder of Ream Constance Hoxie
He explained to Daniel Direnzo, Assist
ant District Attorney, that he expected
to serve forty years in prison, anyhow,
and few more years would not make
much difference. Therefore, Brown said,
he had told the detectives that he had
attacked the HoXie girl.
Brown is twentyfour years old. and,
according to his own statement, will be
content to pass the rest Of his life be-
hind the bars. He called himself SOL
dier, and gave his address as $50 West

Special Dispatch to The Tribune


PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2s.-William
NJ. Brines, University of Pennsylvania
student, was acquitted to-day of the
charge of killing Elmer C. Drewes. on
the ground that the evidence was in
sufficient The jury's action was taken
on order of Judge William C. Fergu-
son, on motion of BrinesS counsel.
William A. Gray
There was a commotlon when the
acquittal was announced. Mrs. Brines
kissed her son: 1T is the happiest
she and the acquitted man quickly left
the courtroom.
Mr.. and Mrs. Christian Drewes, par
ents of the slain Dartmouth student,
shipped quietly away and went home.
They declined to comment on the
courts action.
When the prosecution had introduced
all its evidence yesterday Gray made
the motion for dismissal of the case.
Argument was postponed until this
morning. Gray spoke for an hour and
half to-day and declared that the
evidence introduced had not tended to
show that Brines was guilty.
Judge Ferguson in his statement to
the jury emphasized the absence of
proof against Brines. He said in part:
Street early on the morning OF Octo-
Der II, 1920. There was no evidence
OF any struggle; there was no evidence
of any footmarks showing q struggle
or altercation; there was no evidence of
any automobile having stopped at or
near that place.
"There is only one witness who told
US anything about the automobile, and
tbs. was Mrs. Reeves. She said that
she knew it's make and that it had a
dark maroon body.
Then her attention was called to the
fact that before the coroner some time
after October II she had said that she
did not know the make of the car nor
its color. She was taken during the
week following the finding of the body
to a station house in Germantown and
shown a car, and she said that was the
car that she had seen. That is the only
evidence which connects the defend
ants car with the murder, if it was g
murder.
"You can easily see that there is the
evidence on which the commonwealth
must depend, the evidence OF woman
who has told ontradctory stories with
reference to that car
There is no evidence that Brines anc
Drewes met each other at any time or
that day. There is no evidence thai
Brines was in that car, even assuming
that it was his car, on the night of the
murder.
II am obliged to say to the jury that
the commonwealth has failed to make
out case. Therefore, I direct YOU te
render a verdict of not guilty..

throughout the day, the milk left in the
morning stood in the glare of the sun
on the front steps and not even curl
