yesterday at Eighth Avenue and
Forty eighth Street.
The complainant in the case is
Joseph C. Ciaccio address unknown,
listed as cured drug addict. Ciaccio
appeared first at the Meyer investigat-
ing committee rooms and admitted his
previous drug addiction, but insisted
that his record had been clean since
he took the cure. He reported that
Matheson had threatened to arrest
him for drug addiction unless he gave
$50 to the policeman. A written state
ment was taken and Ciaccio was sent
with the statement to Acting District
Attorney Banton.
Mr.. Banton said yesterday that the
statement proved little rambling, and
that as Ciaccio seemed vague but as
his demeanor was so repentant and
sincere, he decided to investigate.
Ciaccio, at the direction of the de-
tective, it is said, made an appoint
ment with Matheson, and said he would
bring the money with him. Ciaccio
was given SEQ in marked bills by the
detectives, who followed him. They wit
messed the meeting and say they saw
Matheson accept the alleged bribe.
They Immediately placed the policeman
under arrest. His suspension from the
Ponce Department followed automati-
caily Matheson was locked up in the
West Forty seventh Street station.
The jury for the trial of Gunson,
formerly a plainclothes man on In
spcctor Henry's vice squad, was chosen
yesterday and testimony will be taken
to-day.
Gunson was indicted by the March,
1920, Grand Jury on charges of bribery
and eXtortion. Rebecca Melyado, also
known along Broadway as "Billie
Howard" was the complainant against
the former detective and the indict-
ment alleges that on October Is, 1917,
ne entered into an agreement with her
whereby she could operate in the dis
trict where he was assigned. In re-
turn, the indictment alleges, Gunson
was to receive part of "Billie's" earn
lngs, and it is charged that he received
$50.
Although Gunson's case has been on
the calendar no less than forty-three
times, Assistant District Attorney Gun
neen sought another postponement
Yesterday Judge Rosalsky became
impatient at this request and refused
1T, stating that he would dismiss the
Indictment if the case was not tried.

Says Soviet Aid
Got $780,
In Film Deal
RochesterReel Manufacturer
Charges Cibrario Had Pic
lures Booked Above Price
Charged and Kept Margin
Purchase Was $35O,OOO
Scenes Supposed to Have
Been Obtained for Russia
Still Held i'm Warehouse

A remarkable story Of the alleged
financial operations of jacques Roberto
Cibrario while purchasing moving pic
ture films for the Soviet government Of
Russia was told to Assistant District
Attorney Jerome Simmons yesterday
by Patrick Powers, president of the
Powers Film Products Company, of
Rochester, N. Y. Cibrario. who lives at
$40 Central Park West, was arrested
Monday, charged with unlawfully ap-
propriating $136,00O to his own use
with intent to defraud the present
Russian government. The complaint
against him was lodged by Miss Rose
Weiss, lawyer, Of 11O West Fortieth
Street, who, with Charles Recht, are
attorneys for the present Russian gov
ernment.
Mr.. Simmons has been assigned to
investigate the activities of Cibrario in
advance Of the hearing in the Tombs
court. Yesterday Mr.. Powers told the
Assistant District Attorney that Cibra-
rio came to him in the fall Of 1918 and
entered into negotiations for the pur-
chase of 100000 feet of raw motion
picture films.
Deal in Films for Russia
Powers said that Cibrario told him
he was buying the film for himself, but
that he planned to ship it to Russia,
where he could get good price for it.
The film was billed through to a for
warding agent at Moscow. During the
negotiations, according to the story of
Mr.. Powers, Cibrario told Powers that
his funds were tied up in the National
City Bank and that he could draw only
on presentation of warehouse receipt,
bills of lading and vouchers. Powers
then said that Cibrario urged him to
invoice the film at higher figure than
the purchase price. Cibrario then is
alleged to have drawn the money from
the bank, turned it over to Powers and
received the difference in every in
stance.
The total invoice amounted to about
$3.50 ,O00," Powers told Assistant Dis
trlct Attorney Simmons, land Cibrario
got back about 100000 of this money.
he told me that he needed money to
carry on his business in New York, and
tnat he could get it only by presenting
proper papers at the National Citv
Bank. When he asked me to make in
voices at, "a figure higher than the actual
purchase price so that he could obtain
money. for his business l agreed to
do So"
Reels Still in Warehouse
According to the story of Powers. the
market price of the film was $3.50 a
foot, but it was sold to Cibrario at
S2.36 foot. 1t was invoiced to him at
$3.50 foot.
Six months after Cibrario had pur-
chased the film, according to the story
of Powers Clbrario asked Powers to
buy back the film, offering a reduced
rate. This Powers refused to do, on
the ground he did not know it's con-
dltlon at that time, whereupon Cibra-
no started an action seeking to recover
the full purchase price, claiming that
the material was not up to specifica-
tlons This suit is still pending. The
filn IS said to be in warehouse here.
Clbrario is under $4,000 bail. and
will come up for examination in the
Tombs court to-day.
