Witness Gone, Cunson
Escapes Perjury Trial

There was a shortage Of witnesses
yesterday in the cases of Detective
John ]. Gunson, both in General Ses-
sions and at Police Headquarters.
Owing to the refusal of Mrs. Lillian
Love. complaining witness in the per-
jury case against the detective, the
District Attorney moved for the dis
missal Of the indictment against him.
Judge Koenig, who criticized the
prosecutor Tuesday for not having
done so long before, ordered the matter
dropped. Mrs. Love, who is in Me-
braska, informed the District Attorney
that her health would not permit her
to attempt the trip back to New York.
At Police Headquarters, where Gun
son is on trial on charges Of neglect
Of duty and accepting money to protect
the proprietor OF resort, neither
Billy Howard nor Rose Gonzales, the
women who are the principal witnesses
against the detective, appeared.
Mrs. Grace Humiston, acting as
prosecuting attorney. had assured the
trial commissioners that the women
would be there. She explained their
failure by saying that witness for

Both Hooker and Lustig were OF the
opinion that Mr.. Sherman would COM

by automobile. II he did so, he did not
go home to his wife, for a voice over
the telephone, said to be Mrs. Sher-
mans, declared that he was not at
home. 1t said, too, that she had not
heard from him and did not know
where he was.
When Mr.. Swami, who has been re-

that the actor had eluded his men, he
said that still further efforts would be
made to get in touch with him and to
induce him to return voluntarily to

Breitung Arrested
AS Vag1'ant and Is
Held for Hearing
Test Case Being Made in Mat
ter of Wealthy Engineer
Discovered When an
Apartment Was Raided

Edward N. Breitung, millionaire min
ing engineer, Of 16 East Seventy-sixth
Street, was arrested yesterday on a
bench warrant charging vagrancy, the
case growing out of tho conviction In
Women's Court week ago Of Mrs.
Nellie Kift, Of $40 Madison Avenue.
She was charged with having let two
rooms to women for questionable pur-
poses.
Breitung was arraigned in Yorkville
Court before Magistrate Ryttenberg
and pleaded not guilty. The case was
adjourned until September 2S. At
torney for the defendant and the AS
sistant District Attorney prosecuting
the West Side Court. Breitung was
paroled in the custody Of his counsel.
AT the time Of the trial of Mrs. Kift
Breitung was a witness for the defense.
Breitung, it is charged. was at the
kift apartment at the time detectives
entered it July 9.
His attorneys contended yesterday
that the penal section of the law does
not cover the arrest of men on charges
of vagrancy. If such were the case, he
said, women could get men into COM
promising situations and play black
mail game. The case will be tried, it
was said, to test the validity Of the
law regarding the arrest of men in
cases like this one.
Counsel for Breitung declared he
was at a loss to understand the charge
against his client.
The women arrested at tho Kift
apartment were Jean Whitney and
Edna Clark. The Whitney woman was
given suspended sentence on her
promise to return to her home in
Florida. Edna Clark went to a hospi-
tai before the case was concluded
Breitung refused to answer most Of
the questions put to him during the
trial of Mrs. Kift on the ground that
they might tend to incriminate him.
Breitung was taken into custody yes
terday by Detectives Richie and Masse,
of the special service division. The
bench warrant was issued by Chief
Magistrate William McAdoo.

Sleuths Waiting
For Sherman Get
Only Merry Laugh
Arbuckle Witness Leaves
Chicago Train at Harmon;
Fellow Passengers Say
Woman i'm Auto Met Him

Lowell Sherman, motion picture
actor, who is said to be wanted by the
San Francisco authorities as a wit
ness in connection with the investiga-
ton into the Roscoe ("Fatty") Arbuckle
party, was expected to arrive hero yes
terday morning on the Twentieth Gem
fury Limited. A detective and a
process server from tho District At
torney's Office were at the station to
meet him, but Mr. Sherman was not
Oh the train. He fooled them by get
ting off at Harmon, N. Y.
1t was in compliance with request
from the San Francisco authorities
that District Attorney Swami sent two
of his men to meat Mr.. Sherman. The
San Francisco authorities believe that
Mr.. Sherman has not told all he knows
OF the party at the st. Francis Hotel
during which Miss Virginia Rape. a
motion picture actress, complained of
injuries from which she later died.
so the process server was armed with
request subpoena, which, if Mr.. Sher-
man had received it and taken it seri-
ously, would have brought him to the
District Attorneys Office.
When the train pulled into the sta
ton at 10:40 3. m. and the passengers
began to stream through the gates,
Louis Lustig, the process server, pulled
out blank telegram and shouted, "Tel-
egram for Lowell Sherman!" in an ef-
fort to find him.
Mr.. Lustig received what his COM
panion, Detective Edward Hooker,
described as the merry ha-ha from GER.
tain persons, believed to be motion pic pic
ture actors, who had travelled in the
same car with Sherman. There was
little excitement when man came
up and said he was Mr.. Sherman. 1t
died, however, when he proved to be the
wrong man.
After every one had left the train
Mr.. Lustig secuted around and became
acquainted with the conductor. 1t was
from him that Lustig learned that Sher-
man had got off at Harmon and that
