Court Threatens to
f re G Arnstein if
Trial ls Not Begun
Judge Mcintyre Discharges
Bail of Bond Theft De-
fendant, Hitting Delays of
the District Attorney

The failure of the District Attorneys
Office to bring to trial "Nieky" Arm
stein, who was one of the outstanding
figures In the investigation into the
S5,000,0 900 Wall Street bond thefts of
three years ago, was branded Stand
ing disgrace to the courts of the city"
by Judge John F. Mcintyre in General
Sessions yesterday when he discharged
Arnstein's bail Of $4,000 and freed
him on his own recognizance. At the
same time Judge Mcintyre declared
that unless Arnstein ia brought to trial
within sixty days he would grant n
motion to dismiss the three indictments
which have been standing against him
since March 80, 1920.
"This case should have been tried
long ago." said Judge Mcintyre. "I
have made up my mind what TO do
such unfavorable notoriety as has
never been equaled IN this country"
This action followed motion by
Eugene f. McGee, counsel for Arm
stein. for the dismissal of the indict-
ment. He charged that the District
Attorney had failed to prosecute and
that each of the seventeen times that
the case had appeared on the calendar
the prosecution had been unprepared.
He called the courts attention to the
order made last April, when Judge Nc
Intyre ruled that Arnstein would have
to be tried within ten days after the
disposition of the charge against him
In Washington, or his bail here would
be discharged.
Assistant District Attorney Maloney
pointed out that while Arnstein had
been convicted in the Washington
courts, he had an appeal pending from
that conviction and the case could not
be said to have been finally disposed of.
He also asserted that there was an
understanding between the attorneys
that no motions would be made until
the appeal had been decided.
On the announcement Of Judge Nc
1ntyre's decision, Acting District AZ
torney Pecora assigned Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Hugo Wintner to ex-
anime the evidence against Arnstein
and prepare for trial If the available
evidence warrants it,
New-York tribune., 1922-11-16

merely offered to present the Conklin
proposal to the Mayor, although he nd-
mitted that Conklin could haye done
that himself.
Turner's big work for the Conklin
concern and the work for which he
was to receive some stock in the COM
pany WAS the financing of 1t IL the
franchise was granted. He insisted
on this several times even after Mr..
Shearn had read him excerpts from
his testimony given on November J..
Conklin, who preceded Turner on the
witness stand, told of his efforts over
the period from 1918 to 1918 to get
franchise from the city, and how
direction that it might be necessary to
"look at the question from the politi-
cal standpoint" and that he could not
get the franchise in the usual way"
He finally gave UP the effort, although
he had a company ready to go ahead
with the operation of an initial feet OF
two hundred buses, and was prepared
to use his own long experience in OPP
Grating street railways and the bus sys-
tenn in Chicago in putting the new
buses on New York's streets.
Pecora to Push Perjury Quiz
Prompt consideration Of the testi-
mony given by Ferdinand w. Franken-
berg, president of the West Farms Bus
Corporation, before the Transit Com
mission, as to the possibility of un-
dertaking prosecution for perjury,
was promised by Acting District At
torney Peeora in a letter to Transit
Commissioner Leroy T. Harkness yes
terday. Mr.. Pccora suggested that
representative Of the commission con-
fer with him so that time might be
saved in going over the 400 pages of
printed record Of the testimony given
in the course Of the inquiry into the
operation of the Hylan bus system.
The West Farms line is the one in
which Under Sheriff Thomas O'Neil,
Bronx Tammany leader, admitted he
and the estate of Arthur H. Murphy,
former Tammany leader, held an in
terest, although masked by dummy di-
rectors. This interest netted them
more than $4,000 in less than six
and in O'Neips case, at least,
was based on his services in obtain
ing the permit from Commissioner
Whalen of the Department of Plant
and Structures under which the line
operated.
Frankenberg, when first called as
witness, made no mention of the share
that either O'Neil of the Murphy es-
tates held in the company.

Hylan Transit Plan
Blocks Unifcation,
Asserts Harkness
Commissioners Says Amy At
tempt to Recapture the
B. II. T. Would Inevitably
Bring Subway Disruption

Mayor Hylan's scheme Of transit de-
velopment was called financially un-
sound and disruptive in principle by
Transit Commissioner lie Roy T. Hark-
ness yesterday, in speech at the
monthly luncheon Of the New York
Board Of Trade and Transportation,
held at Al Park Row.
"The city has the right to taks back
the Interborough lines, under the con-
tracts Of 1918, but it cannot take back
the lines of the B. R. IT," he said. "Any
attempt at recapture, therefore, would
block all possibilities of unifcation,
and inevitably bring disruption in
stead"
To recapture the Interborough, Com
missioner Hardness said, would cost
approximately s1s5,ooo,ooO. After that
the city would have to raise $600,OOO,-
900, according to the Mayors estimate,
or possibly $1,0O0,000, 900, according to
estimates prepared by expert engineers,
for the purpose of new construction to
meet pressing needs for subway exten
sion. Yet all the money which the
city can possibly raise, by the most
generous estimate, is $15o,ooo, 900, and
of that sum the proposed Staten Island
tunnel will require at least $4,000, ,000
Ernest j. Tarof, chairman of the
railway transportation committee Of
the board, submitted report declar-
ing that there was no warrant for the
increase in express charges proposed
by the American Railway Express Com
pany.
General John F. O'Ryan in an ad
dress before the members of the Down
town Lions Club at their weekly
luncheon in Robbins Restaurant, Sd
Broad Street, yesterday expressed the
hope that the successors of the present
transit commission would carry on the
policy advocated by the present one.

VIII BE Guided by Trust Laws
Secretary Wallace, following his
talk with Mr.. Armour and several of
his associates, issued statement in
which he outlined the. law which pro-
hibits the packers from engaging in
any course of manipulation for con-
troll Of prices, from restraining COM
merce or creating monopoly. He ex-
pressed no opinion regarding Mr..
Armour's proposal, but said he would
give 1t the fullest consideration.
Attorney General Daugherty au-
thorized the statement that the De-
partment Of Justice would be guided
by the trust laws In consideration of
Mr.. Armour's proposal. There would
be no immunity considerations, 1t was
declared. AS to the proposal itself,
Mr.. Daugherty would have nothing to
say.
Mr.. Armour's conferences with the
EOfCAhlhuhL 0LASA6tB ScISGu W -SPlVt
reports that the Chicago packers are
planning general consolidation which
would create q monopoly of the pack
ing industry under government con-
troll. In some quarters here 1t was de-
clared that such plan actually has
been submitted. officials of the Amer
ican Farm Bureau Federation are said
to be aiding In this movement, beliey-
ing that government regulated pack
ing monopoly would be the solution Of
many of the farmers difficulties in
their dealings with the packers.
Secretary Wallace's statement, is
mour, was as follows:
"Mr. Armour and two members of his
staff were here this morning and in
formally advised the Secretary that
they were considering the matter of
purchasing the physical assets Of an
other packing plant. The Secretary ex-
pressed no opinion concerning the pro-
rosed transaction, but will of course
give 1t the fullest consideration at the
earliest possible date.
Law Prohibits Any Monopoly
"Under the Packers and Stockyards'
Act, 1t is unlawful for any packer to en-
gage in any course Of business or do
any act for the purpose or with the eff
feet Of manipulating or controlling
prices in commerce, or of creating q
monopoly in the acquisition of, buy
ing, selling, or dealing in, any article
of commerce, or of restraining COM
merce."
Section 6 of the Federal Trade Com
mission act provides that the Com
mission shall also have power to gather
and compile information concerning,
and to investigate from time to time,
the organization, business, conduct
practices and management of any cor
poration engaged in commerce, ex-
cepting banks and common carriers
subject to the act to regulate COM
merce, and its relation to other cor
porations and to individuals, associa-
tions and partnerships" This part of
the Federal Trade Commission act is
by reference made part of Section
402 Of the packers and stockyards act.
The secretary has not expressed an
opinion as to whether the buying out
Of one packing concern by another
would be IN contravention Of the pack
ers and stockyards act and will not
do so until he has had an opportunity
to 70 into, it thoroughly.

Driver Told Him Money
Was Raised To Aid Patrol
men Seeking Promotion
Used Ii on Trip Abroad
Repaid 1t Later, He Says;
Denies Giving Amy TO
Civil Service Officials

Michael J. Burke, former saloon
keeper, of 3,i21 Lexington Avenue, was
examined yesterday by David Hirsh-
field. Commissioner Of Accounts, in
pursuit of an investigation Of charges
that eighteen patrolmen had paid
$1,000 each to further their promotion
to sergeant in the Police Department.
Burke was In Ireland when Conmis-
sioner Hirshfield started the investi-
CATION several months ago.
According TO testimony given at pre-
vious hearings, the money, amounting
10 s2S,3oo. had been deposited in the
Mount Morris branch of the Corn Ex-
change Bank and withdrawn by Burke
just prior to his departure for Ireland
on September 8, 1891. At the hearing
yesterday Burke said that on August
IL, 1921, man named George White,
whom he had known for two or three
years but whose address he did not
know except that he lived somewhere
in Brooklyn, gave him the money TO
hold for few days.
Said 1t Was to Aid Policemen
White, Burke testified, drives an ice
wagon. On the occasion when he gave
him the money. White was accompanied
by man who was introduced to him
as Patrolman Twomey, according to
Burke. The money was deposited as a
special account in Burke's name. Burke
insisted that White at that time did
NOS say what the money was to be used
for except that he did not want to de-
Posit 1t in his own name. However,
Burke said that at subsequent visit
Whits did mention that he was inter-
ested in helping certain patrolmen gain
promotion. Burke said he told White
that he had no influence with the Civil
Service Commission and could not help
him. It was then, Burke declared, that
White decided to get his money back
and leave it with another saloon keeper
in Brooklyn.
Saved $4,000 as Bartender
Burke testified that he repaid White
cut Of cash which ho had in his homo
and in his saloon. Confronted with
cancelled checks and the bank statement
showing that the entire account, with
the exception of rs cents, had been
withdrawn within less than month,
Burke declared that he used the bank
account TO pay his debts, lend money
to his relatives, and to finance his trip
TO ireland. Concerning his source of
income, Burke testified that he had
been a bartender for eighteen years,
receiving $40 week and tips and that
during that time he had saved $4,000,
$4,000 of which he kept in safe in
his apartment and $4,000 in safe in
his saloon.
Asked whether he had ever given any
member of the Municipal Civil Service
Commission any money, Burke said
that he never had. He admitted, how
ever, that prior to prohibition, en-
ployses of the commission had done
him small favors. Burkes examination
will be continued to-day at 2 o'clock.

Chicago Officials Continue to
Exhume Bodies of Husbands
and Suitors of Pair

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-Another name
was added to-day to the list of hus-
bands, suitors and children said to
have been poisoned by Mrs. Tillie
Klimek and her cousin, Mrs. Nellie
Sturmer Loulik, in their matrimonial
ventures, which, the authorities con-
tend, have been perpetrated in order
to collect insurance ON their various
spouses. In another case, however, it
was definitely determined that the
death Of a suspected victim of one of
the women was not due to poisoning.
DR.. G. Schell, who attended John
Ruszkalski, Mrs. Klimek's second hus-
band, told William F. Mclaughlin, AS
sistant States Attorney, that tests
made during the course Of the mans
last illness showed what may have
been arsenic poisoning. Ruszkalski's
body has been exhumed and is await
ing chemical analysis.
A coroner's chemist who examined
the body of Rose Chudzinski, cousin
of Mrs. Klimek, who died soon after
eating q meal at Mrs. Klimek's house,

Balks at "Other Matters"
The list did not end here, but Turner
baked at mentioning other matters
that he had called to the attention of
Mayor Hylan or city department heads.
When Mr.. Shenrn attempted to pin him
down the witness said that some OF
these "other matters" were clippings
from newspapers which he thought
Mayor Hylan might have missed. Mr..
Shearn still pressed for an answer and
Turner appealed to Commissioner
O'Ryan and asked whether he was re-
quired to answer since the "other mat
ters" had no relation toSthe bus In
vestigation.
81 guess you are right" interposed
Mr.. Shearn before Commissioner
O'Ryan had decided. "It will come out
some time, but not in this investiga-
tion."
Before leaving the subject of track
less trolleys, Mr.. Shearn indicated that
evidence would be produced in the
course of the investigation to show the
interest between certain politicians"
and certain real estate transactions"
which have taken place on Staten ISL
andssince the advent of the trolleys.
Calls Self "Oil Refiner'
At the outset of his examination
Turner had described himself as an
oil refner, with an Office at $50 Broad
way, although he admitted that he had
only promoted a Kansas oil and re-
finery company. His friendship with
the Mayor has been close one, dating
which time he occupied desk space in
the Mayors law Office in Brooklyn. At
that time, Turner said, he visited at
the Hylan home frequently, but more
recently he saw him from time to time
at City Hall.
On one of these visits, when the
question Of municipal bus system
first came up, Turner said he went to
the Mayor with plan for an i'm
proved bus which had been submitted
to the witness by one Brown. The
Mayors opinion would be valuable, he
thought, because of his experience as
gineering experience was gained at
the throttle Of an "L" line locomoti
The Board of Estimate had before it
at that time the application of the
New York Motor Bus Company for a
franchise covering twelve or fifteen
routes. Turner said he went to the
president of that company, Roland R.
Conklin, first to talk about Browns
improved type of bus. but when he
found that Conklin had company
making better bus, to offer his help
in getting the franchise through the
Board of Estimate, where it had Ian
guished since the Mitchell administra-
tion.
Didn't Boast, He Thinks
Turner didn't think he mentioned to
Conklin just how intimate he was with
Mayor Hylan or that he had been as
sociated with him in business. He
