sirous of quitting the army at the
time, but was persuaded to do so by
the indicted broker.
After quitting the army, according to

outlined to him a plan whereby he in
tended to sell the French government
three and one-half million tons of phos-

so DR.. Enlind said, owing to his abil-

to go to France for the purpose of ne
gotiating with the French government.
The scheme did not materialize.

money he had obtained from Mrs. Duke
was tied up in pool, but that Mrs.
Duke would get it back in time.

DR.. Enlind said, was turned over to
Lindsey. Miss Bogart, Enlind is said
to have admitted, was at one time a
patient Of his and had turned over
$4,000 to him for the purpose Of spec
