BY Mail Order
Letters From Other Cities

In Greenwich Village

terday in Greenwich Village in a house
near Washington and Tenth streets.
While Selling quantity of drugs in
the place Detectives George P.
Schmucker and William H. Cruger, of
the narcotic staff of DR.. Carleton
Simon, Special Deputy Commissioner,
also found letters from men and women
in other cities.
Although drugs were not mentioned
specifically, the letters were under
stood to be orders and were turned
over to Federal authorities. The city
detectives confiscated pound of white
substance supposed TO be heroin, TWEEN
ty--four bottles partly filled with the
substance and a druggists scale and
hypodermic needle and syringe.
Three men were arrested in the raid,
charged with illegally having and sell

as James Coleman, twenty-six years
old, of Hague Street; James Mccain,
Twenty-frst Street, and Stephen Bald
win, twenty-five years old, of 348 Bald

The raid followed some purchases by
detectives, it is said. Dr. Simon gave
the place a "business~as-usual" APP
pearance by stationing two detectives
there to wait on expected visitors in
the dingy room on the ground floor
rear.
The first caller was not officially
arrested, merely being persuaded to
surrender himself as drug addict,
but the next one, described as Paul
Negre, thirty-six years old, married,
and living at Sill Willow Avenue, in
Hoboken, was arrested and charged
with aiding and abetting in the illicit
sale of narcotics. Last night DR.. Simon
said there might be more arrests, but
doubtless by morning the strategy
would be worn cut.
Louis Rufino, of 80 Mulberry Street,
who was arrested Thursday with his
son, Salvatore, nine years old, on a
charge of smuggling drugs from an
Italian steamship, was held yesterday
in $4,000 bail for a hearing on Monday.
The boy was sent to the Children's

Witnessed Murder of Kagy

Strongest Evidence Fails;
Questions Her i'm Office
spectcl Dispatch to The Tribune

CLEVELAND, Feb. 11,-Miss Mary
E. Nicely, leading witness for the prose-
cution in the second trial of Judge
William H. McGannon for second de-
gree murder, completely retracted to-
day the accusations she made at the
first trial and exonerated McGannon.
At the FIRST trial Miss Nicely testified
that she had witnessed the killing of
Harold C. Kagy from distance of two
blocks. She said she had seen Nc
Cannon draw something from his
pocket and that simultaneously shot
was fired and Kagy pitched forward
To-day, in response to the first Dues
ton put to her, she said:
81 refuse to answer questions on the
incriminate me. All can say is that
Judge McGannon is not guilty"
Whispers to Judge
Following series of questions
which Miss Nicely refused to answer,
dealing with events at the scene of the
shooting, Judge Powell offered to &C
cept her reason Gin confidence" be-
fore taking contempt of court action.
Miss Nicely leaned over, whispered IN
the trial judges ear and he then ruled
she would not be required to answer
the questions.
Counsel for McGannon demanded
that the court exclude Miss Neely's
testimony and began the preparation
of motion to have Judge Powell dl-
rect the jury to return verdict favor
able to their client.
At the first trial Miss Nicely had
testified that later McGannon offered
her $500 if she would retract the story
regarding what she had seen. She said
to the scene of the shooting, was watch
ing those who had been in the machine
and had observed closely.
She said she later urged McGannon to
come forward and say it was an acct
dent, but that McGannon refused, say
ing it was too late. McGannon, she
said, later sought to find witnesses who
would testify that he got out of his
machine block from the scene. Miss
Neely's sister, Mrs. Louis T. Webb, to-
day told the jury of having overheard
McGannon offer her sister $500 if she
would change certain statements. This
was her testimony at the first trial.
Answers Some Questions
Miss Nicely answered some questions
on the stand to-day, but none would
she answer that bore upon the day and
night of the shooting of Kagy.
Miss Neely's entirely unlocked for
attitude on the stand took Prosecutor
Stanton by surprise, for it was upon
Miss Neely's testimony that the state
depended chiefly IN making it's case
against McGannon.
Upon request of County Prosecutor
Stanton. Judge Powell ordered Mis-;
Nicely placed under 5000 bail for he,
appearance in court Monday. After
court adjourned Miss Nicely was taker
by Detective Soukup to Stanton's office
where the Prosecutor said he wanted
TO talk with her.
