for perjury in an alleged attempt to
shield Brindell, is now awaiting retrial.
The jury disagreed in the Backer trial,
The decision of the jury yesterday
followed long summing up of the
states case by Mr.. Untermyer, the
prosecutor taking more than FIVE and
"a half hours to present his evidence.
The trial had been in progress since
January 13. A short recess followed
Mr.. Untermyer's speech, after which
Justice McAvoy charged the jury, taxi
ing forty-fve minutes, from 4;35 to
$500 p. m.
The charge was confined almost
totally to the functions of the jury
and the law on extortion.
On only q few points did Justice Me-
Avoy attempt to instruct the jurors
how they were to look upon certain
evidence in the case.
Brindell was specifically charged
with extorting $4,000 from Max Aron-
son, builder. on September 20 last for
ealing off strike on an operation of
the builder in Thirty-sixth Street
west of Seventh Avenue The evidence
showed that while Aronson had all
union men working for him on this op-
sratlon delegates representing Brin-
dell called strike on the pretext that
nTon.-union men or men not carrying
building Trades Council cards were
working there.
After visit to BrindeIps office. ut 10
st. Marks Place, Aronson was told bv
6rlndeil that it he gave the labor leader
$4,000 the, job would be permitted to
go on. Brindell, it is said, finally
agreed to accept $4,000, which Aronson
testified he gave him, and produced n
cheek III support of his statement. The
men called out returned to work next
morning, it was testified.
10 prove that this was merely one
act, OF general scheme of Brindeirs |
to hold up contractors in the building
industry, Mr.. Untermyer introduced
evidence of nine other transactions in
which, it is declared, Brindel extorted
thousands of dollars from his victims. |
Hanging over Brindell's head still
are six other indictments charging
extortion and attempted extortion,
These, of course, will now be acted |
upon only in SO far as they affect ac
compiices who have bven named with
him in several of the accusations.

yesterday, said in this connection; !

800 Theft Charge
State Police Captain Says He
Traced Robbery of Watca,
TO Seymour Ely and Then
Waited for More Evidence

HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. 3.-Cap cain
Robert T. Hurley, of the Connecticut
state police, told to-day how he had
been trailing Seymour w. Ely, the
wesleyan freshman, prior to Elys ar
rest yesterday charged with the theft
OF 500 from another freshman.
Captain Hurley said that he had been
called upon by the college authorities
to investigate series of thefts in the
dormitories. In Hartford pawms hop
he found watch which had been
stolen from student. The pawn
ticket, he, said, was traced to the
Yonkers freshman, but the police wait
ed to obtain further evidence before
an arrest was made.
Ely admitted that he had commit ted
number of dormitory thefts and shat
he had slashed himself with razor
and stunned himself with paddle in
an effort to create the impression that
he had been attacked and robbed. He
was he'd in $1,000 bail by Judge S,
Harris Warner after his counsel, Gus
tave h. Carlson, had entered plea of
not guilty. The case was continued
until tomorrow morning.
1t was said that bail would be- fur
nished by an uncle from Bridgeport.
The courtroom was crowded when the
Se1iS 'rSoalilan was arralgned. Ills
father, E. B. Ely, a coal dealer of
Yonkers, was present. Ely spent Thurs
day night in cell. His meals were
supplied by a nearby restaurant. He
has recovered from his self-infiicted
injuries.
Ely's father spent most of the morn
ing with him and was with him at
luncheon. 1t was said this afternoon
that Ely at the time of his arrest was

After referring to the wealth amassed
by the labor czar through his alleged
scheme of extortion, his summer home
at gchroon Lake and his string Of
high priced automobiles. Mr.. Inter
rnyer said:
aThink of the terror and piracy in
augurated by this wretch IN the short
space of eleven months. The transsc-
tions were almost unbelievable. We
believe he has been the greatest enemy
organized labor has had In long time.
HOrganized labor could never have
made any progress with pirate like
him at it's head. One of his victims,
Cohen, when piled for money by Brin-
dell, remarked, This must be disease
with you.' 1t was impossible in this
CITY for any union to exist, even those
regularly affiliated with the American
Federation Of Labor, except through
the grace of this bully. The mon
strosity of this scheme, when put to-
gether, is something the human mind
can hardly conceive. 1t was whole
sale and unaduiterated scheme Of ex-
tortion, and for miserable, wretched
graft"
Mr.. Untermyer concluded his sum
nation with the plea, II ask and de-
mand, in the name of the state, that
you reopen the channels Of trade so
that business may once more be done
in q decent and self-respecting way,
and that you hurry and put this man

yesterday an order for $3.50 week
alirnony and $1,000 counsel fee in her
separation suit against Syn De Conde,
an actor. Mrs. De Conde charged her
husband with series of cruel and in
human acts, including several beatings.
The plaintiff also complained that De
Condo threatened to disfgure her and

tanned sulphuric acid.
Mrs. De Conde in her complaint said
that she incurred the displeasure of the
defendant by refusing to meet certain
wealthy friends of his, with whom, 1t
is alleged, De Conde insisted his wife
should associate. AT one time, in a
Fifth Avenue mediste shop, said Mrs.
Ne Conde, her husband referred to her
as his dancing partner, telling the pro-
prietor and saleswomen that she was
not his wife. In her application for
