Editor Loses Appeal From
Conviction for Contempt
Supreme Court Rules He Must
Reveal Author of Grand Jury
onL M Cnr..<. Cax.4a-1u


WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The Su-
preme Court to-day declined to con
slider an appeal brought by Hector H.
Elwell, city editor of Chicago news
paper, convicted of contempt of court
for refusing to identify for a Federal
Grand Jury the person who wrote GER
tain article printed in his newspaper.
Elwell APPEALED on the ground that he
could not be compelled to give testi-
mony which might incrimnate himself.
CHICAGO, Oct Hector II. Elwell,
city editor the The Chicago American, a
Hearst newspaper, whose appeal was re-
fused to-day, was adjudged in contempt
after his paper had printed story
saying that the Federal Grand Jury had
indicted a doctor and others for illegal
sale of drugs.
The grand jury, in an effort to trace
the news leak, demanded to know the
name of the reporter who wrote the
story, but Elwell declined to give the
information and assumed responsibility
for all local news in his paper.
The grand jury referred the case to
Federal Judge Carpenter, who fined Ell
we'll $500 and sentenced him to stay in
jail until he agreed to furnish the in
formation. Elwell appealed and is now
at liberty under bond.

Three Alleged Fur
Thieves Captured
After a Fusillade
Suspects Said to Have Been
Loading Automobile With
Plumber Worth $4,000
When Detectives Arrived

Detectives Of the safe and loft squad
who have been investigating a series
of robberies from the store rooms of
fur houses declare that last night they
caught three men in the act of placing
$4,000 worth of stolen furs in Pack
ard touring car in front of the loft
building at 66 West Twenty seventh
Street On the approach of the police
men one Of the men narrowly missed
wrecking the touring car in futile
attempt to escape. The other two
were taken only after a chase, in which
eight shots were fired.
At Police Headquarters the prisoners
gave their names as lsadore Rosenberg,
of 1883 Clinton Street. Sam Blum, Of
Ga st. Marks Place. the Bronx, and
Morris Fershing, of 50 Avenue c.
Detectives Henry Hoffman and John
Foray. of the loft squad, said they had
been trailing the three men for several
days. They charged that earlier IN the
afternoon Blum, Rosenberg and Fersh-
ing visited the loft building at Sc West
Twentyseventh Street and ~ooked the
place over" Last night Hoffman and
Foray, accompanied by Detectives
Daley and Moriarty, followed the
three men when they returned to the
building.
According to the detectives, the three
prisoners gained entrance to the place
through skylight. From the roof
they went to the fourth floor and jim
mied the door of the firm of Scholnich,
Friedman & Applebaum.
The detectives did not interfere until
the men were piling the furs, which
they are accused Of having taken from
the stocks of the company, into their
automobile. When the policemen ap-
peared, Rosenberg and Fershing dashed
away from the machine and began to
sprint down Twenty Street.
Three Of the detectives chased them,
but the men did not stop until eight
shots had been fired.
Blum, who was at the wheel OF the
car, directing the placing of the furs,
started the engine and swung the auto
mobile out into the street He would
have escaped, probably, if q taxicab
turning out of Fifth Avenue had not
blocked the way at the moment. Blum
had to stop his car to avoid a crash
Before he could start it again he was
under arrest
At Police Headquarters the three
men were charged with burglary. They
will be arraigned to-day.

All Autos Searched


Opinion was expressed last night by
Headquarters detectives at work on the
case that men familiar with postoffice
truck routes and who knew what classes
of mail are consigned to certain cities
on specified trains had perpetrated the
robbery. Havanck's statement that the
entire seventeen sacks Of mail con-
tanned in the truck had to be turned
over in order that the particular sacks
sought by the bandits could be removed
convinced the police that the robbers
had inside information
Less than twenty minutes after the
robbery Havanck had stated the facts
to Detective Sergeant Rocco and a gen.
eral police alarm was sent out. In
structions to stop every car crossing
the Williamsburg Bridge resulted in a
long lineup of automobiles at both
ends of the structure, occupants of cars
being closely inspected. All police
stations sent out special squads to
watch for car answering the descrip-
tion given by Havanck. Yonkers police
were also notified to be on watch. A
patrol of motorcycle police was estab-
llshed on all Westchester County roads.

Mayo Bigamy Trial Held Up
Postponed Indefinitely to Seek
Writ to Inspect Iury Minutes

The trial of Virginius st. Julian
Mayo, wealthy radiator manufacturer of
New Haven, who, at the time of his in
dictment on a bigamy charge, lived at
546 Fourth Avenue, Brooklyn, went over
indefinitely yesterday in General Ses-
sions. Although Mayo had intended to
enter plea of not guilty. an attempt to
bring the case to trial was frustrated by
George Gordon Battle, attorney for the
defense, who obtained from Judge Grain
permission to take before Judge Mott,
in Part of General Sessions, a pro
posed motion to inspect the minutes of
the grand jury which rendered the in
dictment.
The Indictment charging Mayo with
bigamy was returned in October, 1919.
He had been arrested in March of the
same year, charged with having mar
ried Miss Wilhelmina Meyer, Of 4O2
West 153d Street, while his first wife,
Florence Weeks Mayo, was alive. Miss
Meyer subsequently brought suit
sgainst Mayo and obtained a verdict of
10000
